Sounds like a great idea but the new model's listed at £250 on the Zigview website! At that price I'll wait a while.

There's a comms port on the standard £99 model but there's no info in the...

When I had a 10D as a backup/wide angle camera the 17-40 got used a great deal but I just didn't like the distortion with the 5D. I've considered selling it but I'm sure it'll come in handy sometime.

I've used this combination once and I didn't notice any vignetting. The 17-40 used to be my first choice for hangar/museum work but once I'd moved to full frame I found it far too wide so I now use...

I've got handstraps on both my cameras. They're perfectly secure.

A neckstrap in an open cockpit isn't a very good idea unless you find some way of securing the back of the strap so that it...

Chimpmeister, I agree with you. However, I don't think it necessarily follows that seeing any of Bruce's work will help a great deal to justify any of his comments. Negative critique has just as...

That's the one, I've had several others over the past couple of years. It certainly went down well, the programme sold out.

The exposure compensation blunder was on an earlier trip with the two...

One of my howlers has been nudging the exposure compensation wheel whilst shooting air to air and not realising until I'd taken a further 20-30 shots. It gets pretty frantic in an open cockpit and...

Thanks for the tip about the WE lenscloth, Stephen. However, if you look at the WE site you'll find that the 18% grey cloth is £8.50.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the IS on the 70-300 just for static shots as opposed to the more sophisticated two mode version of IS on the 100-400/70-200 etc? If this is the case, isn't it...

bpw, one of the main things you'll notice is the faster wakeup from standby on the 30D (and 20D) compared to the very sluggish bootup on the 10D. Image-wise the 10D's still a very good tool.

John, I think the blur you're referring to in your example (and in the way you've interpreted camera shake) is wholly a factor of resolution rather than cancelling the effects of movement.
