I truly like Topaz. I especially like their noise reduction program which includes Noise Reduction AI. It is better than any NR programs I have worked to date. Though I do not use Topaz when processing HDR photos I tend to use different capabilities based on my needs. I highly recommend Topaz.

Go to your local District Attorney and present the check and circumstance. They will advise. I have gone to my DA to collect checks before and they are very effective.

The Canon 7D MKII camera is a powerhouse camera capable of providing high quality photos for years to come. I bought this camera, lens and Battery Grip new in April 2015 from a licensed Canon Camera Dealer and used this camera as a third camera backup for weddings and high definition product photo shoots where fine tuned definition was a requirement. As a third camera body backup it has had very little use. With the Canon EF-S 17-55 lens it performs quickly with a fast auto focus and with the right settings performs in low light very well. The Canon EF-S 17-55mm F/2.8 IS lens is one of the best non-L glass lens Canon makes. This camera comes with a B+W 77mm XS-Pro Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Nano Coating lens filter, one battery, a Canon battery charger, and the original manual and boxes.
· As with all of my cameras I maintain them very well and both the camera body and lens look like new. They are registered with Canon Professional Services. There are no scratches except one minor scratch on the back screen.
· The Canon EF-S 17-55mmF/2.8 IS Lens is not a kit lens. It is fast, tack sharp and performs well in low light. Additionally, the built in camera flash is great for close in fill light to the subject.
· Designed with a penchant for speed, the 7D Mark II is characterized by its APS-C-sized 20.2MP CMOS sensor, dual DIGIC 6 image processors, and a top continuous shooting rate of 10 fps. Both a 65-point all cross-type phase-detection AF system and Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology benefit fast, accurate focusing performance for both optical viewfinder and live view shooting. Additionally, the combination of the dual image processors along with the CMOS sensor also contribute to enhanced low-light sensitivity to a native ISO 16000, which is further expandable to ISO 51200. The 7D Mark II comfortably performs in a range of challenging situations, and while ideally situated as a tool for sports and wildlife photographers, it resides equally as well in the hands of contemporary multimedia image-makers.
· I have the latest firmware Canon offers for the 7D MKII installed. This camera rig sells for between $1800.00 to $2033.00 from reliant authorized Canon retailers.
· The Canon Battery Grip E16 is designed specifically for the Canon 7D MK II camera. It fits the body like a glove and works perfectly. I kept this grip on the camera from day one and have never run out of battery. I have taken a thousand shots with this grip in one day and never had to replace a battery during a shoot. Ships only after payment is received. Will ship with signature and receipt confirmation only. I am open to a reasonable offer.

I am a professional photographer specializing in product photography and had excellent results from Greentoe. I purchased a Canon 5D MK IV with the Canon EF 24-70 1:4 L lens and registered it with Canon once delivered (like I do all of my Canon gear). The camera is excellent and according to Canon is a US product (Greentoe guarantees US market products). This is the only product I have bought from Greentoe and I am more than pleased. The seller was a major NY based retailer of Canon and other brand products. I saved about $500.00 on this purchase.

Portable doesn't work for me, so I use a desktop with two Dell 27" monitors with a Windows 10 OS. My rig was made for me by Zidax Computers a super custom shop that has lifetime guarantee on parts. The system sports a 32 ddr at a higher mhz then most mass merchandisers offer. Finally my mother board is a MSI with a single MSI GeForce graphics video card. If you call Xidax they will walk you through the build and recommend based on your needs. I believe I spotted a photo rig on their web site...so they are paying attention to us photographers that need some strong computing power. My rig is a couple years old and screams. This rig not just saved me dollars but tons of time in post production.

I liked some of the suggested versions, but suggest running it through a denoise program...like Topaz denoise. This may or may not improve the quality. I would pull this picture up at full size ... 11X14 which is your suggested size on the computer screen and you should be able to determine the print-ability of this photo. In the end print at a professional printer and I think you will get a good print. Try using the metallic paper as it really makes everything pop.

Treat this as any serious boudoir shoot. Get with the client, discuss the shoot in detail and conduct the shoot. Have a contract as you would any other professional shoot. Finally, research consummation photo shoots by talking to other pros or do research in boudoir shoots. Treat as purely professional. Before the newly weds enter their location, make sure you are all set with at least two or more cameras and all set properly. Catch the carry over the threshold and go from there. If the couple are aware you may slow their progress it may even create a more exciting experience. If they are serious about this then you should be as serious and professional also. Good luck!

I have several favorites, but for my 7d Mark II my favorite is the Canon EFS 17-55mm. This lens is by far the best non L lens out there.
For my 5 D Mark IV I like the 24-70mm 1:4 L IS USM. This lens is also a micro and is as sweet as they come. If I had the funds I would have gotten the EF 24-70 f/2.8 L II, but I am not complaining.
My next favorite is the Canon EF 70-200 f/4L IS USM is also a great lens, but I would rather have the 2.8L IS II. Mine is great for portrait, wildlife, and some closeup shots when needed.
I recently bought a Sigma 20mm art which is great for landscape and asrtophotography. I am just getting used to this lens and like it a lot.

You have a good point. With Greentoe you negotiate with them. I started with a close to fair price and countered their offer. Though the counter was not accepted they countered with a close offer and I took it. I did not pay sales tax and had a savings of $400.00 off the mfg retail price. I am normally very sensitive to great deals because they are far and few between, but this experience sold me on Greentoe.

My purchase through Greentoe was with Adorama and they did deal. The product was exactly as advertised. "Not Grey market, came from a US retailer". I register all my Canon gear with Canon Professional Service. And this gear registered without a hitch.

I have actual experience with Greentoe. I recently bought the Canon 5D Mark IV from Greentoe. It was not Grey market and did come from a reputable US retailer. I was surprised that the retailer was one I regularly use out of NY. This is a sweet camera and I shoot professionally so am very picky with who I do business with. Savings was surprisingly good and quite unexpected. Point is negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. You can get the price down regardless of some of the comments you read here.
