Another option is to call Canon customer service and ask for a printed copy of the full manual (same as on CD). I've done this a few times, never been refused, and more importantly, never been charged.


I tried and they said they don't print them any more....

This is pretty exciting for me. It is really quite surreal to see your work in this type of format. I am in two sections of the magazine(besides the cover). The first as a featured photographer, with my "reflection" series (all involving water), and then later in the magazine, my "European" series. I would be honored if you took a look!

Additional information from Canon Rumors states "According to a reader on our forum, Canon has confirmed they’re attempting to solve a service issue with his camera with new firmware. The issues with his camera have been autofocus related, and even after replacing parts of the camera, Canon service was still not happy with how it performed.

I asked if it was a new firmware and they said that it in fact is a new firmware and it should come in early next week.

When we’ll see the new firmware released to the public is unknown, but it could be a relatively significant update for the camera."


This is not unusual when a new camera is introduced and in fact very proactive by the manufacture to remedy issues. I have had no issues with my 7DII so far and really like it over the first version which I was not a huge fan of.

Firmware updates are easy to install and painless if you follow the detailed instructions that are provided. I've had a few updates to my 5DIII since it's introduction. Fortunately for me, most of the things that were remedied were non-issues to begin with.

I on the other hand had a great experience with the original 7D and after switching to the 7D2 (GAS bout), couldn't be happier with the experience. So much so it's now a toss up which my go to body is the 7D2 or the 5D3. I let the shooting situation decide which I pick.

I just ordered the Canon EF 23-105 F4 L USM, and now I 'm having concerns on whether or not this lens will work with my Canon Rebel SL1 camers. I got a great deal on it - $270.00, but will it work with my camera? Please note I had the EF S 18-135 on my wish list but went for the L lens.


Enjoy ... that's a great walk around lens.

Repairing cameras on which they did not make a profit is not a good business plan. They might as well repair Sony cameras for free.


Come on Jerry .... Not so naive! Canon and Nikon make a ton of money on gray market products as well. It's the distributors/middle men who make the incremental profit on non gray market stuff. I am not by any means endorsing gray market merchandise just pointing out that manufacturers make their profit either way just so long as their products are sold.

This struck me as funny. I got the latest copy of Outdoor Photographer, and right there on the cover is the headline, "What to Buy." We all know that the purpose of photo mags is to sell products. That's why at least half of each magazine is advertising. But could they be any more blatant about it? "We made it easy for you. We have a list of things you should buy."

I must admit, though, it is a very good article. I didn't even know some of those things existed, but I placed my orders, and they should be here in a few days. Then I can figure out how to use them. :D

Hillary Will be President Of Nothing

Kurt Schlichter | Mar 16, 2015




The only people who should be afraid of Hillary Clinton running in 2016 are her fellow Democrats, and the only thing they should fear more than her running and losing is her running and winning.

Hillary is a Lovecraftian monster, the Cthulhu of American politics who sleeps dreaming of victory, but she will never be president. You can take that to the bank, the same too-big-to-fail bank that probably paid her $250,000 for a 10 minute speech about income ine******y.

Hillary is a punchline in overly-sensible shoes and a passion-quelling pantsuit. Ready for Hillary? Every serious Republican candidate sure as hell is, except Jeb Bush. Jeb actually hung a medal around her neck in the dumbest political play of all time until he shattered his own record by deciding that the key to the GOP nomination was to embrace Common Core and push amnesty. The only way Jeb could show worse judgment is if he called up Bill and asked him to babysit his teenaged daughter.

The Democrats have to be terrified. It's not the email scandal itself. It's the fact that her email ploy was so transcendently t***sparent, so agonizingly unnecessary, and so absolutely and utterly Clintonian. It never even occurred to her not to have a private email server in violation of the law. She just did it, because Clintons always pull that sort of stunt. It's in their blood. And everyone absolutely knows that nothing is going to change if she gets back in the White House. It will be scandal after scandal after mortifyingly tacky scandal for four solid years. We'll be lucky if she doesn't post $25,000 nights in the Lincoln bedroom on Craigslist.

Even the mainstream media will find itself compelled by the sheer weight of her venality to shout, "The Emperor has no clothes," while the rest of us plead, "Please put some on!"

Oh, and speaking of no clothes, there's Bill Clinton and his latest scandal. I'm not talking about the Lothario Express flights down to the Caribbean for sex parties with his billionaire pervert pals. I'm talking about the obscure internet site's story about a random teenager who's now claiming that Bill's her daddy. See, here's the thing: We don't know if it's true, but we can't be sure it's not.

"George W. Bush is my pa!" Nope, not buying it.

"Ronald Reagan knocked up my mama!" No, can't see it.

"Bill Clinton got with my mom and nine month later there I was!" Yeah, I can totally see that, especially if your mom wore blue.

Does anyone think Bill Clinton is going to be able to keep it in his pants just because Hillary's in the White House? Ha! This guy's going to go on a booty bender that would make the Rat Pack look like a bunch of Jesuit monks. Hillary may re-veto Keystone, but you can be sure that Big Bubba is going to be laying pipe across the country.

It's not that this elderly l***h can't control himself - he can't - but that he doesn't want to. He feeds on attention, even if that attention comes from sowing his seed far and wide among willing liberal groupies eager to add Bill as a notch on their Ikea futons. Electing Hillary means four years of this creepy psychodrama, and everybody knows it especially the Democrats.

Barack Obama has already done untold damage to the Democrat brand. You can't win as a Democrat unless you can drive to the coast in under 15 minutes or you live in Madison, Austin, or a few other besieged c****e outposts in Red America. You wouldn't know it from the way Republicans lie on their backs in craven submission, but the GOP holds more offices at all sub-p**********l levels of government than they have in nearly a century. And they have Barack Obama to thank - the rebirth of the Republican Party is the only good thing that Marxist disaster has done for America.

So with the Democrat brand about as popular as chlamydia, Hillary will come in and finish it off. But as tempting as it is to let that happen, her Machiavellian perfidy may also finish off our Constitution, and her foreign policy incompetence might well finish off Israel.

So we need to stop her - and that shouldn't be too hard. After all, who actually likes Hillary? What's the name of one person who thinks Hilary has any qualification be President beyond the absence of testicles? What was her greatest achievement as Secretary of State - raising awareness of Burma?

No, a victory for Hillary would be a catastrophe for the country in general and the Democrats in particular, and the Democrats know it. She's an unprincipled creep and a crony capitalist concerned about one thing - lining the pockets of her tacky pantsuits. If this Midwestern frump hadn't gotten her hooks into Bill Clinton, she'd be just another tiresome, bourgeois Illinois granny pestering people to use their inside voices.

Americans are going to see right through her lies to the undistinguished, unlikeable nobody behind the curtain. Sure, the 90s were a time of relative peace and prosperity, thanks entirely to Ronald Reagan, but they were also a time of skin-crawling, cringe-inducing embarrassment that made us want to look away from Washington like you would from a drunken middle-aged accountant doing an impromptu striptease at a Christmas party.

And that's for those of us old enough to remember the 90s. Hillary's inexplicably counting on young people who were walking around in Huggies back when she was in the White House to v**e for someone on the verge of walking around in Depends in 2016. She's ancient. What young person is going to be excited by her except for the connoisseurs of creepy hot grannies websites - who, come to think of it, will likely be the next sexual minority the Democrats embrace.

No, she's not going to run, because she knows if she runs she's going to lose, and even someone who can endure being the "wife" of Bill Clinton can only endure so much humiliation. She's a loser through and through, and the Martin O'Malleys, the Jim Webbs, and the Big Chief Warrens can smell her tired blood in the water.

My book's prediction notwithstanding, there is never going to be a President Hillary Clinton. And we should all rejoice, including Democrats.



My comments;

Jeb for '16? "Jeb actually hung a medal around her neck in the dumbest political play of all time until he shattered his own record by deciding that the key to the GOP nomination was to embrace Common Core and push amnesty".

If I was Dubya, I would quit speaking to my "kid" brother! The GOP better find out who it is that keeps trying to "encourage" Jeb and castrate them! (Then castrate Jeb too. )

All you libs........why do you suppose the Republicans cleaned your clock in 2014? News flash; He's the same POS that's going to cause you to get it cleaned all over again in 2016! You know....the same guy who told you......"if you like your doctor, you can KEEP your doctor! Promise! And if you like your "plan", you can keep your "plan" too! How'd that work out for you, chumps?

Thank you Anandnra, you have been most helpful. If you were able to shoot most of your pics with your 70-200, I can live with my 18-200 for the entire trip :thumbup:


I tend to agree with that - but if I had a 11-16, I probably would have carried it, just for those occasions when you wish you had your wide angle. Here's a link to my album in case you want to see it.... and have a great trip!

Your two selections should be more than sufficient for most situations. Suspect you'll live with the 18-200 for over 90% of your time.

Hello fellows and gals. I will be touring Costa Rica next week and plan to take no more than 2 of my lenses along with my Nikon D7000. I have the standard kit 18-55, 35 mm, 18-200, 100mm, and 11-16. Plan to take the Tokina 11-16 and the nikkor 18-200. Any dissenting opinions? Aim is to have a little flexibility, yet be able to carry less and lighter.

As fate would have it, my 7D ii arrived the day I started reading this thread. I took mine out for spin yesterday and late this afternoon. I used center point focus, single shot, mostly because I had to since I had a 1.4 extender on. Shots 1-3 below were at 560mm, f8, ISO 800, AP. No attempt at photographic artistry; just hoping there was not a focus problem similar to yours. I don't see it if it's there. By the way, the camera and lens were focusing so fast I kept looking at the green focus light on the lower left indicating focus was actually achieved. Never have I ever experienced such instantaneous focusing.

The 4th shot (butterfly) was at 400mm, f8, ISO 800. What I found encouraging about that shot is that I was hand holding without so much as a place to brace an arm or elbow. I certainly got a lot of shots that were more blurry, but hand holding at 400mm and expecting to get the hairs on a butterfly's head is not really a reasonable expectation as the teensiest movement - even my heart beat - can be seen in the viewfinder.

From what I'm reading, perceived problems seem to be with Al Servo, not using just the center focus dot. I hope you will report your experience with the replacement. Good luck!

Maybe I'll ad a 5th. Same settings, hand held.

I sold my 7D and moved to the 7D2 in December. Have used it extensively on 2 international trips, the last one to Costa Rica- I have to say that the camera's focus worked instantaneously, super sharp and tack on all the time, using center point. I rarely use more than a few point selection.
I had a similar issue with my 5D3 when it was new as what the OP (LFingar) has posted. Took care of it by simply resetting the settings to factory defaults and starting over. I must have selected/done something to have caused the focus problems. I have not experienced the problem since. Good luck LFingar with the replacement.
