Travel Lens - Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
I am planning a 3 week trip by car from Dallas to San Diego and back. I have a Canon 50D with EFS 17-55mm f/2.8, EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM. I want a lens I can put on and keep on most of the time without having to carry a lot of weight around or have to change lens. Any thoughts or experience on the EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens? Nikon users, while I am sure you have good info I am not looking to change brands so please do not reply unless you have eperience with Canon.

Do you need IS or VR for sports?
I use the Canon 100-400 L and 70-200L for pro and amature baseball & hockey during daytime and at night. There is no comparison with and without the IS. Go with the IS if you can afford it.

I have a 70-200mm f/2.8 Sigma, no VR/IS/VC; use it for sports a lot. I shoot JPG (sports only to get max pictures) at maximum burst hand held. I can move quickly and follow the athletes and it's only me who causes blur. I have a Canon lens with IS and when I've used it for sports I seem to get more throw-aways due to blur. I think the IS actually tries to stabilize the movement when I'm following an athlete (and maybe over compensates).

I do appreciate the IS/VR when hand holding and trying to shoot birds at the feeder or other nature/landscape shots.

Try using Mode 2 on the IS for your Canon lens. It will allow you to track the action horizonatlly.

Good-bye
I too am a relatively new member and I agree there is way too much sometimes nasty remarks made. Especially by some, not all, Nikon owners toward us Canon owners.

This seems like it has become a social media site instead of good information exchange. There are some that are too quick to criticizes or make fun of others.

Not that I think anybody will care, I too will be leaving if the nastiness continues.

I am sticking with my Canon.


Canon puts the IS in the body, Nikon puts the IS in the lens


Canon is in the lens.

Take a look at any professional sporting event and tell me what cameras do you see? The big gray Canon lens and cameras.

Enough said!

Is There Really-----
Boy, am I glad this is such a friendly place. Although I am glad one of you knows the difference between the two. Give me the correct information every time.

OFF SITE STORAGE
Can't go wrong with Carbonite. It will take a while initially to back up but then it works in the backyard. You can even subscribe to have them send the backup to you on an external hard drive.

Presenter is a separate program so you need to send it and the slideshow.

When they open Presenter it will install itself. Then when they click on the show Presenter will open and run the show.

You (they) can download Proshow Presenter which will allow them to view the slideshows. This is a no charge, small download. It gives all the high defination you lose with U-Tube.

Variable ND filter vs fixed
Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with the variable ND filter?

It seems to me this would be a great benifit by being able to dial in the exact amont needed and elimenate the need to stack multiple filters.

On the other hand, with fixed filters you know exactly how much light the reduction factor is.

Primes and zooms
Primes do have there place but try to shoot fast moving sports or wildlife on the run and see which works best.

I do not consider myself a "lazy" photographer because I use zooms.

Anyway, in the end it is what works for each of us so "to each his own" as the saying goes.

I have said my piece, I am done.
