Anyone have any clue why the shutter noise from one 5D body to another would be completely different? One giving a very tinny sound, the other a very clunky mechanical sound - same firmware, both new, same settings??

There are some good things in there, good mix of vids, books, presets and cloud membership etc. BUT - for me it sounds like a lot of videos I'd never get time to watch. I'd question a lot of the retail prices though... such as why varying qty of LR presets could justify up to $150+ retail. Maybe...

As above really. With places typically enrolling candidates for September; I wondered if anyone has plans - or knows of any college/uni etc that carries out Photography workshops/classes in the north west? Some of what I have found seems very basic... like 'How to use your digital camera' etc...

Exactly the same firmware - everything points to the batteries, we just don't understand why really. The mAh is higher on the 3rd parties, which usually means the current can be drawn for longer - but overall must be down on how MUCH can be drawn? That's the only conclusion I can come to!

It took 3 x speed related driving bans for me to finally learn my lesson! The 2nd time in court was embarrassing, the 3rd I might as well have killed someone... They didn't throw the book at me, they catapulted it to my head. Never doing that again.

To ensure the test was comparable, I tested it with lens cap on, manual focus to infinity, manual mode fixed to 1/4000sec and f/4 for all. Also completed the exact same test with another forum members 5D3, different lens, same settings- and it repeated itself. The batteries were the only...

I'm a bit sad when it comes to torches, and end up with more torches than I know what to do with! As others seem to have here as well; I have fallen in love with the Led Lenser range of torches. I've recently purchased the Led Lenser X21R.2 - which has 3200 lumens! It's seriously stupidly...

As above: I'm on firmware 1.3.3, using Meike battery grip and 2 x DTSE LPE6 batteries with no issue. Full registration and battery info showing. I have seen a slower FPS compared to original though.

My first 'decent' camera was a bridge Panasonic LUMIX FZ18- I absolutely loved this camera. Great shots, easy controls, a genuinely brill superzoom at the time. Would highly recommend something similar - I learned loads from it before going to DSLR.

Id certainly say so. They're usually around £160-170 new. I have one for my 550D; great lens at a bargain price. For £80, worth every penny IMO

Hi all, I've been getting around 6.5fps on my 5D3 with Canon batteries (high speed continuous). Recently however; I purchased some 3rd party batteries, and since struggle to get close to 5fps. It only seems to have a negative effect with high speed continuous, as silent modes/slow continuous...
