I have been a 5D shooter since almost the day it came out. I simply love the full frame, and never looked back at the 20D, XT and 300D I had before that.
I always preferred Nikon bodies though, and was hoping someone would release a D200 body with a 5D sensor in it.
Well, that didn’t [...]

Selection Criteria
I got my Canon EOS 400D Combo (EFS 10-22 USM & EFS 17-85 IS USM) some months ago and it worked fine for everyday snaps. However, I do find its limitation when it goes to serious work during a wedding event that requires more accurate auto focusing capability and flash exposures under some low [...]

A Long Story
It has been a long wish since my first professional body Nikon D1x to have it shoot in low light (the acceptable sensitivity level is iso400), and it ended up running with wide open aperture, the result is not really up to my expectation.
I have been seeking my next advanced camera for ever [...]

might need or want a child photographer. Child photography is often very
sought-after because everyone wants to capture the special moments of his or her
own child. The moments of childhood are so ephemeral and fleeting that everyone
wants film evidence of the beauty of youth. Although parents [...]

kids have been wrestled into clean dress clothes, and your feuding in-laws have
called a truce for the afternoon. Everything is set. Deciding against using a
professional photographer, you came to the conclusion that you can do just as
well with your own camera. How hard could it [...]

During this family photography gathering, you should not
only pay attention to the people being photographed, but the background as well.
A bad or boring background can ruin an otherwise perfect picture. It is a good
idea to not have things perfectly balanced. For example, it would be a bad idea
to have a tree in the left side [...]

Does anyone really expect that a 21.1 megapixel camera would not handily outperform a 12.1 megapixel camera in terms of resolution? Field shooting today in multiple trials leaves no doubt, but there is considerably more to the story than just resolution. Stay tuned for a body-to-body comparison of the Nikon D3 with the Canon EOS [...]

The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM
Lens has an excellent focal length range that includes the longest focal
length found in a Canon zoom lens. This long focal length and focal length range
combine with very good image and build quality to make the 100-400 one of the
most popular serious wildlife and sports lenses [...]

The Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM Lens
is a mid-grade long telephoto zoom lens.
Introduced in 1990, the Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM Lens is built
reasonably well. The finish does not appear modern, but the build quality is
decent. A metal lens mount shows that the 100-300 is not a bottom-of-the-line
lens.
AF is very fast and quiet. The [...]

The Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM
Lens is a relatively small, very light and very cheap lens
for this focal length range.
The Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Lens is really cheap. Usually you get what
you pay for - unfortunately this is the case with the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6
III USM Lens.
Build quality of the [...]
