I figured that one out real quick

USED, thanks for the info and will check out B&H.

Just what I would need. Send it in for service and have the Police at my door.

Even if I inspect it and it works perfectly, Probably better to keep looking.

Is this lens worth $525?

I have seen F2.8 but not F4

Does anybody have experience with this lens?

Have a gentleman selling one for $645 in mint condition with the carry bag.

Thank you to all who respond

Yes, this appears to be the case.

The Latin term would be ---> MANUALUS NON READUS

I have scratched RavPower off my list. I had contacted RavPower customer service about buy a battery. They told me they WILL NOT sell me just one battery. I MUST buy 2 batteries and a charger. Was told I MUST only use the RavPower charger as the Canon OEM charger will damage the battery thus voiding the warranty. Wasabi will sell me a package deal or I can buy individually and Wasabi told also me their battery WILL charge in the Canon OEM charger. Watson also told me the same thing.

After doing research for over a week on all the popular 3rd party batteries, reading both customer and blog reviews I have come to a decision. While many people have praised 3rd party batteries there are too many horror stories of 3rd party batteries dying, swelling and destroying camera electronics for my comfort zone. I will me buying an QEM Canon battery from B&H and paying the $63. Risking a $1000 camera to save $30 does not make good sense.

Program Shift is a new one for me. My old D700 allegedly had a Program Flex mode which I never used.

Thanks for the info, thought my camera was malfunctioning.

I am finding Canon has things Nikon doesn't and things Nikon has act differently on a Canon.

Time to READ the manual ...........

This is my first Canon camera and it is making me crazy. Does not act like I expect it to
or maybe I just do not understand this Canon.

In Tv mode I can set the shutter speed and camera sets aperture

In Av mode I can set aperture and the camera sets shutter speed

In M mode I can set both shutter speed and aperture

Now in P mode it is suppose to set both shutter speed and aperture.
But I can turn top dial and change aperture and the lower dial changes compensation + or -

Is this normal? From what I remember, my Nikon D700 controlled everything in P mode.

From what I have read, some get excellent service from Wasabi and others not so much. However this seems to be true no matter what brand you choose. Appears to be a crap shoot with some brands having more issues than others. The Wasabi LP-E6 battery is $10.99 so I guess I will give it a shot. Risk is minimal. Has to be better than my 3 year old failing Canon battery which only gives me about 100 shots per charge. If I get burned, I am only out $10.99 and will stick with OEM Canon. Of all the 3rd party batteries I have investigated, Wasabi seems to have the least amount of reported issues and is recommended most by reviewers. We shall see .........

The proof will be in how long they last ..........
