Thanks for confirmation

Hi, I lost my eyecup for my Canon 1D Mark IV today. Amazons advertise a Canon Eyecup EG For EOS 1D Mark III and IIIDS but does not list one for the Mark IV. Can anyone confirm if the Eyecup EG also fits the 1D4 or if not, what the correct name/ model number of the Eyecup should be. Thanks

The constraint in usually the available light. I tend to mainly do Bird photography from Autumn through to Spring, when the migrants arrive and leave and when there is less foliage around which may obscure your subject. However that usually means that at this time of year there is less light...

I would avoid the Canon EF 75-300. Either go for the the Canon EFS 55-250 IS, the Canon EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS or the sigma

I've used H Lehman before for lens problems (link in the first reply of this thread) I got my lens fixed and back within 7 days. Excellent service and reasonable price I thought

From The-Digital-Picture.com review of the Canon Extender EF 2x III The image quality differences most easily noticed between the 2x II and the 2x III are: Results with the Extender 2x III are overall slightly sharper than the Extender 2x II with a difference being most noticeable in the...

The Open University run an online course T189 Digital photography: creating and sharing better images It lasts for 10 weeks, the next one starts in May 2013. I think it costs about £160 or maybe a bit more. You get a copy of Photoshop Lightroom included in the price too (it used to be...

Hi Geoff. The Canon 400D will only autofocus with a Canon 1.4x extender if the lens and the extender can achieve a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or less. A Canon 1.4x extender (or any other make) will add one f/ stop itself, so any lens must be f/4 or faster (eg f/2.8) for the 400D still to...

As FourRingCircus says RAW files are like old film negatives. You have to process them and convert them to a final output format whether they are displayed on screen or printed. The advantage OF RAW is that you can correct mistakes you might have made when actually taking the shot, or modify it...

If you look on www.dpreview.com they have historic reviews for both the Canon and Nikon Cameras. Canon 20D Canon 30D Nikon D70 Nikon D80 The 30D review has a comparison with the 20D, 5D and Nikon 200. The Nikon D70 and D80 were consumer level DSLRs, and as far as I know you will be unlikely...

Another vote here for the 24-105L. Its a good walk-around/travel lens for all the reasons listed above by other posters. I've had one for 6 years and used it on a 40D, 1D4 and 5D2. Walk-around implies outside, rather than low-light interiors, and if you need something for low-light either take a...

If you want to use it for Fill-In flash then I would make sure that any FG has HSS - High Speed Sync. Otherwise your max shutter speed is restricted to the X-sync speed of your camera, which on a 60D is 1/250th second I think. High Speed Sync is useful for shooting with Fill-in flash outdoors...

A Slot-In filter kit will normally consist of (working from the end of your lens) the following: I will use Lee system as an example because I have one, though Hitech also have 100mm system as well. 1) A 77mm Adapter Ring - Wide Angle (for 11mm). This screws onto the end of your lens where any...

I sold them my mint condition Canon EF-S 10-22mm about 2 months ago. They arranged a courier pick up for a day of my choice. Money was in my bank account 4 days later. Very happy to recommend them.

Have a look at Cambags.com. They have user reviews of all the main camera bags with photos of peoples equipment in each type of bag eg Computrekker-Aw -Canon which gives you a good idea of the capacity
