Canon 5D Mark III vs my 80D

One of your comments really jumped out: "few will notice in your end product photos though". That kind of proves that one camera is better than another only when the user is happiest with the winner.

Using Back Button Focus

Glad to see he was wearing a Nova Scotia T-shirt! I thought it was interesting how he described using BBF to hold the focus while moving the camera around. I do the same thing by holding the shutter button down halfway. So if I'm wanting to put a bird, for instance, off centre, I just use single focus point (middle) to focus on the bird and then simply move the camera till it's off centre and press the shutter button down. Seems to achieve the same thing without changing the camera to back button focus.

Lovely shot Roger. But, from a Canadian, these are called Canada Geese, not Canadian Geese. Thanks.

Is Canon becoming cheap ?

Ed Chu wrote:

just bought a new Canon RF 100-400; a check of the item on the Canon website shows that the lens hood is OPTIONAL !! REALLY? ( On Amazon, the Canon hood retails for $54.95, a generic, which looks identical, is $13.95 )

Where else are they shortchanging customers ?

What's wrong with that? The lens hood is optional. I've never put one on my lenses, even if they came with one. I don't think I've ever regretted it. If they put a lens hood on a lens, they would have to up the price. And you can bet your life that the cheap generic lens hood isn't as good as the Canon.

To repair, or not to repair. That is the question.

If you have a local and reputable camera repair shop, I would take it in for a diagnosis. They will tell you if it's worth repairing. I recently had a Canon lens repaired for a cost of $120 which is way less than the cost of a new lens.

Backup during travel without requiring a computer

Are there techniques that allow backing camera memory cards that *don’t require access to a computer*.

I prefer not to take my laptop on longish trip. I’m with using my iPad but it has very limited memory and would not get me much storage.

Thanks

I just take enough cards, label the storage pockets in a small card case, and download when I get home.

Shooting my Canon 50mm f/1.8

jgreg wrote:

My cat was on top of the bedroom door. He loves to get into everything like most cats do. The lens is nice and sharp I think. Bang for the buck I made a good buy. I also bought the 16mm f/2.8 lens and it's very sharp.

Cripes - how does he balance himself up there?
