I've been all over with my camera and 99% of the time I use the 24-105. I have a 70-200 + tc, 10-20mm wide and a 50mm on my 7d. You really don't want to be swapping lens in a rain forest due to the potential humidity.

Is it a single drive or 2 drives in a case? If its a single drive I'd open it up and plug the HDD inside into a desktop machine or a caddy fire it up that way and see if the computer detects it. If it does then you know it's the WD USB host adaptor if not then the HDD is screwed. Also I've...

What a great project! The people are very friendly so I'm sure you'll hit your target, post up the results when you get back. I saw several groups of westerners last time I went riding up the mountains on bikes. Slightly mad but I can understand the attraction. Good luck!

windows Vista all the way for me :) 24Gb Ram 2 x Xeon processors and quadro Fx graphics. Never have a problem with it unsurprisingly, and before you ask yes I would run Win7 if I could. I ran lots of Unix boxes back in the day I wouldn't run one as a desktop now to much fiddling I just want it...

True well all probably have still not a valid defence.

as stated you would struggle with true HD video over wifi, if you can wire everything together with CAT5 cable or at least power line adaptors that would be the way forward. When we moved into our current house i cat5 cabled the house and ran windows media centre for a while but found i never...

i agree with this what were the lighting conditions? if you were shooting in low light conditions you would struggle even with a very good lens. My understanding is that live view uses a different method of focusing (never used it myself) which would potentially struggle in certain situations.

The new firmware adds a lot more as well hopefully that will be out this week coming. 25 frame buffer and Max auto Iso in tow. The autofocus system will be the biggest difference read the manual to get the best out of it you need to understand what it's doing.

calibration is essential if you want accurate prints but you need the whole work flow process correct as well one weak link and your stuffed. So you need- 1) a half decent screen (doesn't need to be expensive) some screens can't be calibrated due to their cheap quality, I've had this and it's...

You will never see flash on an apple iOS device. If they could banish the desktop version without getting in trouble they would as well. Flash should die with the adoption of HTML 5 hopefully

erm yes and also £1600 more expensive. I have a 7d yours for about £1000 from good retailers

As others have stated LED TV's have really poppy colours and very high brightness levels so getting a decent corrected image out of one I think would be difficult. People may not notice if they don't have a calibrated screen but you would do if you printed some images with a lab. Colour...

I got 38mb on infinity 1 upgraded to infinity 2 and got 45mb :( Everyone was telling me that BT are massively underestimating speed test but obviously not because I'm bang on the estimate Little disappointed but I suppose I'm still downloading faster than most.

When I worked in Japan I thought about buying my first SLR but even back then (4-5 years ago) it was more expensive the pound back then was worth nearly 250 yen I think it's below 130 now thanks to the government printing money and all the other economic problems. This is one of the reasons...
