I must say that I'm impressed by the effectiveness of the sensor cleaning system in my new Canon 400D.

I use two cameras: one pretty much always has the 500/4 mounted but still gets dust problems...

Pompeyfan, you really need to get some decent software. I'm not familiar with Saphire's suggestion but it is doubtless a good one. Irfanview is free and very good. Picassa is also free and has its...

Hoolie Doolie!
That's downright disgraceful. All prices in $US

That's just unbelievable! Especially when you remember it's for a product that is discracefully...

Ha! Nice to see some other poor bar&rds getting it in the neck! Here in Oz, we have exactly the same problems, only the rip-off tends to be of even greater proportions.

I've used Transcend CF cards before - at present I have a 2GB and a 4GB one, and they work just fine. I'd be happy to buy more of them.

Oh, and as for the frame rate, Postcardcv, I was surprised how little I missed the 5 FPS of the 20D. Yes, I did miss it, but I could live with 3 FPS long-term if I had to. A lot of the time you just...

I agree with you both. (Roy and Postcardcv, I mean - I'm too modest to agree with Yelvertoft.) Yes, Roy, the 20D/30D/5D controls are clearly superior to the 350D/400D controld, especially the big...

20D vs 400D

I've been running a pair of 20Ds for some time. The shutter failed on one the other week and I haven't had it repaired yet. I want a 1D III (of course - doesn't everyone?) but needed a replacement...

Hi Anja,

Simple advice from me: double or nothing. I think you will find that a cheap long lens will be pretty much a complete waste of money. Much better to either double your budget (maybe a bit...

Agree with you pretty much 100%, John. I couldn't be happier with mine. I'm using it with 20Ds and just recently a 400D, but I've nearly decided that the 20D does a better job.

You make a very interesting point, Joe. On the face of things, a pellicle mirror has obvious advantages: no mirror slap, no mechanical movement to waste battery power and wear out and blow the dust...

I couldn't agree less with you John. The 1D III has more good things than you can poke a stick at:

Clean high ISO, up to 6400 - huge advance
Much lower noise
Vastly improved ergonomics. (BIG...

It wouldn't auto-focus, and the manual focus was weird, really weird. I did sort of OK by just focusing manually roughly and then moving the camera to fine-tune, but it was weird. Perhaps I was...

By the way, speaking of the 100-400 and add-on items, the other day I tried a 13mm extension tube on the 100-400. I know that Canon says not to use the tubes with zoom lenses, only primes, but I was...
