A nice little app that ive been using for a while. ive posted a range of different things on there usually of my travels or where i am but i try to make them as interesting as i can everytime. Some post from other users annoy me as its just a random photo of themselves and they get like 30-40...

Gripped for me as i use my 5D for weddings so the extra battery power saves me from fliiping around changing batterys more often if it wasnt connected, plus using it in portrait with the grip makes it feel easer to use and balances the camera out better with heavier lenses on.

Still got my 350D since launch, use it as a backup as my main camera now is a 5D mkI. The 5D is awesome but if i ever had the $ id upgrade to a 5D mkIII as i feel one day death will claim my 350D :'(

Mine was a Pentax K1000 when i went to college to learn about darkroom techniques , oooh must have been about 2001. great slr camera, really easy to use.

I have the Kata 3in1 - 30 bag. Kata do different sizes for your needs. I bought this as a replacment for my lowepro slingshot as the zipper broke on that. The Kata can be used as a normal rucksack or by the disconnection and reconnection of the strap+clip can be a sling bag too. It has enough...

I always use Adobe Lightroom for adding my watermarks (if needed) when exporting my photos. Very easy to create one and easy to add to any position on the image.

Great review EdBray :thumbs::thumbs:, i think i will be purchasing one of the ringflash kits very soon.

:help: Im thinking of purchasing a ring flash for portait work. I have looked into the ray flash and the orbis but from reading other forums and reviews some people say that it does not give the same effect as a dedicated ringflash as you dont get the same amount of power/light because it uses a...

I totally agree. there seem's a certain magic to the shots taken on a 5d

I play the same game really, i mainly shoot portrates but have managed some moving shots which came out well on the 5D. But the reason its in my bag is because of the type of work i require it for. Full frame goodness.

This link may help as it shows a diagram of a 20D (crop sensor) and 5D (full frame) http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/CanonEOS5D/page12.asp As well With a full frame sensor you usually have to buy expensive glass as sometimes you get vignetting on the edges of the shot.

I went to LA last year with the Slingshot 300 and didnt get stopped once. i took it on the plane as hand luggage. I flew with Virgin and the dimensions of the bag only, and i mean only just came under the requirements. I had my canon 5d, 24-70L and 70-200L. camera charger with lead and spare...

Hi peter The canon 5D is a fantastic camera as i bought one around a year ago for brand new for about £1100. I upgraded from a 350D (which in times still serves me well as a backup body). As the 5D has a full frame sensor the purchase of the camera really depends on what you are looking to...
