Opinions from those who have upgraded from Canon 7d to Canon 7d Mark II

tnste wrote:

I have a Canon 7D but have just purchased the 7D Mark II. I got it for a better than the black friday price and the dealer threw the Canon kit and a memory card. I have not unpacked the camera as I am not sure if I am going to keep it. I would like to know from those who have upgraded from the 7d to the 7d Mark II what you think of the 7D Mark II compared to the 7D. Did you find the 7D Mark II perform significantly better than the Mark II?

Much better AF and it can withstand higher ISO's.

Question for MT Shooter

ptcanon3ti wrote:

Even a simple question thread like this goes down the drain. No wonder people want to abandon the UHH ship. It's too bad, because there are some very knowledgeable people here.

.... and both MT and SS are very knowledgeable indeed ..... they just don't seem to like each other much.

Photography Magazines

PaulB wrote:

I am going to let my subscription to Popular Photography expire. Why: It seems to be getting thinner and thinner every issue. The articles aren't very interesting. I have also noticed that the major photography retailers have cut back on their advertising, i.e. B&H and Adorama used to have several pages showing their products and now one or two. What publications are you fellow "hogs" reading that worthwhile?

Canon lens recommendations

MACT wrote:

My son has just acquired an EOS-1D body, and is looking for the best range of lenses. I know nothing about Canon, so I hesitate to advise him. His budget is practically unlimited (tens of thousands), but he doesn't want to spend unnecessarily. While I think most of his shooting will be indoors, city streets and parks, he might also venture into both wildlife and macro, so you can be pretty wide-ranging in your suggestions.
Many thanks

11-24 L 4.0
24-70 L 2.8
70-200 L 2.8 IS II
100-400 L IS II 4.5-5.6 should cover it to the most part.

Has anyone had any experience buying from Profeel?

Yes, I bought my Canon 7D2 from them and everything went well with the transaction. They are an authorized Canon dealer.

Pro photographers covering Obama's visit to Hiroshima

I was assigned to and accredited for Obama's visit to Hiroshima. I was shooting video, but I chronicled the stills guys and gals for your amusement and edification. This is the life of a photojournalist, or at least one day in the life. Enjoy...

Thanks for the interesting post, something we don't see normally. Approximately how far away were you from the action?

New Canon 5D Mark III: LCD monitor cover??

Richard2673 wrote:

Just got my new....er, should say, refurbed Mark III. $2099 from Canon. And already have my finger prints on the LCD monitor. Is there a "cover" for these?? Which one is preferable??
3 lenses due today, too.

You can try one of these ...

or save some money and do as SS suggested - buy a pack of protectors for a phone and cut them to size.

Did you add a drop of Blue Loctite to the threads as recommended in the instructions?

I have had it for nearly 2 years now and have had no problem with it.

Canon 7D vs the 7d II

rattydaddy wrote:

I am thinking about replacing my 7D with the new model. I got it about 10 months before the 7D II came out. Take all kinds of pictures sports, landscape, wildlife, portraits. I don't use it for video at all. I am going back and forth. Some reviews make me think "do it" then I will read another than makes me think "Not worth it." Any feed back from people who have used both would be grateful.

I went from the 7D to the 7Dii soon after the upgrade came out. Liked the original model and thrilled with the ii. Can handle much higher ISO's and is a good complement to my 5D3.

Has anyone been to Cappadocia in Turkey?

OriginalCyn wrote:

We are going in a few months, and wanted to know if anyone has been, and could give me any photography advice! Where was your favorite place to shoot, what, if anything, should I know in advance?

We were there this past Christmas - lovely area to visit. Great food, scenic places to shoot and lots of balloon rides. Don't miss out on doing a balloon ride - it's a thrill. Some of the things we did other than the hot air balloon ride - Goreme Open Air Museum, Uchisar Castle, Fairy chimneys, Derinkuyu Underground City, Carpet factory (we ended up buying many carpets - make sure you bargain if you shop; about 35 to 45% off list price), Pottery factory, Hike in the valley - beautiful and very scenic drives.

I'll send you a link to my albums via PM.

Thank you. Some say the 24-105 is better for full frame. You?

I have both the 24-70 and the 24-105 with this body and they both work fine. Plan to sell the 24-105 as I don't use it as much with the acquisition of the 24-70 2.8ii. Send me a PM if you are interested in the 24-105.

Nikon 750 recall

jerryc41 wrote:

I just got a notice from Nikon telling me that they received my camera, which UPS delivered to them the day after I mailed it (3/2). It was nice being able to confirm with UPS that it had been delivered. I wouldn't be surprised if I get by tomorrow.

Being ignorant, what's the 750 being recalled for?
