I had a similar problem, in that I wanted to edit videos, but on a very casual basis, as I prefer photos rather than videos, - and I don't want to spend time learning new software etc. I searched for reviews, plus , it had to be free software and selected OpenShot Video editor. Here's the link...

Can anyone recommend a 7 x 5 Photo paper for Laser printers. I use Inkjet for most of my photos, but I would like the option of printing on a Laser printer. Most I have found are advertised as Laser and Inkjet; I am under the impression that it should be 'one or the other', as the surface...

Does the movement trigger just turn it on in video mode, or can you set it to take single shots ?

Just had a Google for the answer and it seems you're right, it's difficult to compare ............... Here, then, are various "real world" figures that some people here have offered. 2-3 megapixels: Visual equivalent in a 4x6 print to 80-85% of the population, on a camera with a decent...

I remember reading (years ago), that 8 Mpixels was equivalent to the grain size of film.

My moths were taken at f18 ISO100. I think at the time, I was using a ring flash ( I use a LED array now ). The camera was fixed ( obviously ! ). I think some people take hand held shots, then judge the results on the outcome. If you don't have a steady hand, it's no good blaming the lens...

I mentioned earlier that with a 20mm tube, you would have a great Macro lens. This was taken last year with the NF and such a tube. It has been cropped and distance from lens to subject is about 100mm ( 4" in old money )!

Oops! Sorry I was looking at the info on the wrong post!!

Just Dave has one - a few posts up!! It's of his Grandson. It's took on a 50D - and with the Plastic Fantastic !! :thumbs:

Absoloootely Amaaazing .........need I say more? :thumbsdown:

This lens is great value! Superb optics, but the build is plastic and fragile. My tip is when handling (mounting/unmounting), it's easy to knock or strain the very delicate usm motor mechanism. So always keep the AF/MF switch on the lens, in MF mode, until you have it mounted and ready to use...

Keep the 40D as well! I bought a 5D MKI but am keeping my 50D. The 1.6 crop gives another range to your lenses.

Here's one I bought after a recomendation from one of the forums. It's well made. It measures 56cm overall, but unscrew the ballhead and it's 48cm long. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hahnel-Triad-30-Professional-Aluminium/dp/B00361EC1S/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1358015544&sr=1-3

After buying cameras, and spare batteries over a period of years, I now have 9 Canon type batteries. Last week I was caught out when a battery went low - ( I had a spare ). I decided to try to 'calibrate' them, so that I would just use the 'good' ones. I numbered each one, then discharged...

I used a 24 - 105 L on my 50D and swapped lenses regulary. A month ago, I got a FF 5D. This lens hasn't been off since!!
