You could try Miops. It doesn't fully control the camera but works a treat through an iPhone or iPad.

Hi, sorry for the late reply - you may have solved this for yourself in the meantime. I don't know why you would want to use both applications as they provide virtually the same features; just a different way of doing things. I use Capture One as I found it fitted my workflow better. I...

It sounds as if your experience of entering competitions is similar to mine - in my case it was my mother who suggested it! I agree, you never know - sometimes different people see things in shots that you just don't see yourself.

Can I ask which photo’s people think are from a workshop or set up by someone else? I only ask as I’m responsible for the Stag photo selected for December (which is all my own work btw – and not photo-shopped!). To Steve (and others above); all I can say is enter a few shots into competitions...

I had what I thought was a highly spec’d PC (6 core i7, GTX980, 8MB DDR4 RAM etc) and also ran into some performance issues. C1 was fine until I upgraded to 9 and now it is using huge amounts of RAM when I work on large catalogues and the round trip to Photoshop (Tiff) has become sluggish to...

Thanks. I haven't been able to check this but I wonder if the excessive time is when the camera is a asleep. I'll have a look tonight.

Can other 7d mk2 owners confirm how long it takes for an image to show on the screen after the preview button is pressed? My body had a little accident and fell out of my bag onto the road. Other than a broken battery compartment door, all seems fine (not even a scratch!). However I've now...

I recently upgraded a 7d to a 7dmk2 and yes there is noise but it is much better than the mk1 and I find is easier to treat with noise reduction (I use either Capture One or Neat Image). I don’t use full frame so haven’t compared but I have no reason to expect a cropped sensor to compete with...
