Just when you though Canon did something right... AF issues with the 7D. Unreal. One guy on Dpreview is on his 4th unit, which seems to be ok. Maybe it's time for Canon to grab their ankles and license Nikon's AF technology? http://www.google.ca/#hl=en&q=canon+7d+af+issues&meta=&aq=0&oq=canon+7d+af+&fp=ca7bc37eb6518610 ... 6 Jan 2010 09:13

Sending luggage (with photo gear) ahead by FedEx cross-border OK, some Islamic nut tries to blow up a plane, and now the security guys have to prove they're even crazier by implementing moronic "security" measures that do nothing to improve our security...

The el cheapo 650-1300mm zoom, for those who care Just some info. Wow!! Genuine "optic glass" (as opposed to coke bottle bottoms?) http://www.samyang.pl/product,147,category,5,samyang_6501300mm_mc_if_f816 The example moon shot they show with it is pathetic. No doubt linked as much to seeing changes during the inordinantly long exposure needed with an f16 f... 14 Jan 2010 06:51

Lack of oversight of products today is allowing companies to import shoddy RF-emanating products that are a problem, from computers with plastic box housings to set-top HDTV boxes. Plastic and aluminum SUCK as RF shields. Only steel or copper work well. Below is an example of th... 28 Dec 2009 14:05
