    MAC or PC?

    Oh no - not a Mac v's PC debate! This won't end well! I recently had the same dilemma and decided to get a new iMac because: I have an iPhone and MacBook Air and I'd like the integration They look nicer They last longer (my last iMac lasted 7 years and I sold it for 30% of what I paid for...

    Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Owners Thread

    Hi folks - my 5D4 arrived in time for last weekends wedding so I gave it a whirl. My second 5D4 arrived yesterday so I'll take them out again this Saturday. If anyone has any questions let me know here - I also wrote a little review in case you're interested...

    Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Owners Thread

    Just bought two for £3000 each. My friend organised a group buy and we managed to get the price down. Altogether we ordered 20. After I collect VAT back and sell the 5D3's the price is pretty reasonable.

    Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Owners Thread

    Can't believe it's this expensive! Pretty underwhelming specs if I'm honest but the proof is in the files. £2400 in 8 months though I bet...

    Couple's big day is ‘ruined’ by an amateur photographer

    I don't get it. You hire a STUDENT with zero experience to photograph your wedding and pay her a modest fee. What were they expecting?

    Star Wars VII - What did you think? (NO SPOILERS!)

    Not sure how I can give an opinion without a spoiler so ignore this for those who haven't seen it... I really enjoyed it... but a little too predictable for me. Some great new characters, and I really enjoyed seeing the original case. My main gripe - it was virtually the same story as A New...

    The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

    Yeah, I'm really enjoying using it. It's a great little fun camera. Not a particularly sensible purchase but until the A7SII hits the shelves I'm gonna enjoy using it a lot for now.

    The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

    Yeah, I got the metabones MKIV too - it seems quite snappy - but every now and again the lens just won't focus and you have to take it off and put it back on again. Not ideal at a wedding...

    What's bayer mush? Yes I googled it! This was with the 55/1.8 Zeiss - I've got an adapter to try out with my Canon glass but it seems a little flakey trying it at home.

    Started using the A7R2 at work today - it's not bad. Tricky to tell what's in and out of focus on the LCD though. Even zoomed in nothing seems that sharp. A7R2 Wedding Photos by Albert Palmer, on Flickr

    Canon 7D for wedding?

    I'm making an assumption on your skills here (so apologies if I have this all wrong!), but forget about the gear. If this is your first wedding then the camera isn't going to be the limiting factor. Any DSLR made in the last 5 years, coupled with a reasonable lens will be more than up to the...

    Does Canon have anything to compete with the D750 and D810

    He's probably not using the silent shutter then. The D810 is much louder as is the D750. Not a big deal for most people but I value it :)

    Does Canon have anything to compete with the D750 and D810

    Nikon certainly has Canon beat in some areas. ISO performance, focus and dynamic range. What has stopped me from switching is the silent shutter on the 5D3 - it's invaluable as a wedding photographer. Otherwise personal preference for Canon's smother tones. That's all I've got!
