    Viewfinder clean

    I had a hair visable in the view finder on my old 50d. The hair was on the focus screen and was easily removed with a rocket blower. But it looked like it was inside the eye piece.

    Canon 50d

    A 6d might be worth a look as would 60d

    Canon 50d

    I had a 50d for about 3 years. I was quite happy with it, the main issue for me was high iso lower light photography the noise was quite noticeable. The 50d was a nice step up from the 350d I had before it in all ways, I currently have an 80d which is a nice camera. I would really like to move...

    80D v 7D MKii

    I have an 80d and have had a 70d and 50d. The 80d high iso performance is ok a bit better than 70d the 7dmkii uses the same sensor and the 70d-80d is maybe around 1 stop better. If you really want high iso performance I think you might be better going for the full frame body. 5d mk3 or 4 or...

    What 27” monitor for photo editing.

    Dell ultra sharps are lovely screens I have the 27" model and i'm very happy with it. The 30" ultra wides do look very tempting.

    Canon EOS 80d Owners Thread

    Canon 17-55 f2.8 is a great all round lens you won't go wrong with one. It's a good match with the 80d.

    Telephoto - lapland, should I bother?

    We have been the last two years, short lenses with large apertures are best. Very little day light and very cold -22 was chilly. Northern lights can be illusive. Its a great place enjoy, ski and sledge.tripod, extra batteries, hand warmers, and zip bags would be more help than a long lens.

    6D mkii - great camera for the money now that the price has dropped? Owners opinions?

    I have been ponderings the same question recently. £900 seams a good price for what you get. The main drawback for me is the position of the focus points. I don't think the dynamic range would be a deal breaker for me. I have just moved from a 70d to an 80d as I got a good deal but the high...

    Canon EOS 80d Owners Thread

    I recently got mine from einfinty as it was £70 cheaper than hdew but you get a shorter warranty. If you are going to do high iso pics the 6dmkii might be a better buy. I was in the same boat as you re ff lens and did not have the budget to move to ff. I think a 5d mk4 is my perfect body but...

    Walk around lens quandry

    On a crop sensor the canon 17-55 f2.8 is a great walkabout lens not too heavy, great image quality, fast ish lens. the 24-70 on a crop sensor is not very wide. You might still need a 10-20 wide angle which you could pop in your coat pocket so save on hand luggage weight. The 15-85 gets good...

    Beginner upgrade

    7D mkii may only have 2mp but the better auto focus system, improved high iso performance and faster FPS make the 7D mkii a large step up from the 600d.

    Second hand Canon Camera for Birds in Flight - sub £800

    7d mkii would be a good choice. what lens are you thinking of using? I think the 7d mkii or 1dmkiv would be better choices than the other body's you have mentioned and worth the extra outlay.

    Longer lens for sports

    I think a prime would be hard work as I'm not that able to pick where I want to stand and I think with no zoom I will miss lots of shots. I will try f5.6-6.3 with my 70-200 and see if it cause me any issues. bright days I guess it will be fine some of the dull winter matches I guess might be...
