After many readings about issues with 5D mark II and flash, I was a little uncertain when I decide to buy 5D mark II. But I knew that many of users have "problems" with all EOS flashes, not just with 5D mark II. I talked with two who knows how things works and they use…
After using canon 5D mark II for some days, I can write some more detailed observations. I won’t copy specifications, because you can find them on many web pages. Here will rather be some observations from field.1. Files are really big. Camera can “easily” create files near 40 MB in RAW. Yes you read right.…
After some weeks without DSLR, I (little unexpected) decide to buy 5D mark II.In last two days I don't have enough time to test a camera. But there are some initial feelings from first minutes.At first I noticed that 5Dmk2 is a little heavier than 30D. With first shutter press, everybody can hear that shutter…

Latest e-mail about photography was about these modes. On DSLR Canon cameras you can find three AF modes: One-Shot AF, AI Servo and AI Focus. What is the difference between them?Note: I will use term “focus button” – what button you use for focusing depends on your camera settings. You can use shutter button, *…
Some words about Canon Image Stabilizer Lens (IS in short). Other manufactures have similar technology, but with different names (for example: VR (Nikon), OS (Sigma)). Some manufactures use stabilizer in their camera (not in lens). This sounds pretty good while we have stabilizer at capturing with all lenses. Although idea isn’t bad, this stabilization isn’t…
