All Day I Dream About Photography

I had the chance to play a bit with Canon EOS XTi / 400D a few days ago, and as onwer of a Canon EOS 30D, I must admit I was very positively surprised.

If someone asked me “Should we get the Canon EOS XTi / 400D or the Canon EOS 30D?” just last week I would have directly answered the Canon EOS 30D but today I might have a different answer.

I have been inspired by a recent thread at DPreview where a fellow user was asking for reasons why he should NOT buy the Canon EOS 5D.
This thread turned out to be very interesting with 90+ responses and I thought it might be of use for anyone currently considering to buy a Digital Camera, specially with the upcoming Canon fall rebates, so what is found in this post is just the 10 top given answers, in the thread stated above, sorted in no particular order.

Here is an article written by full time professional photographer, and owner of Balsman photography, Kim Balsman.

I am about to buy the Canon EF 100 400 L f/4.5 f/5.6 lensso i don’t have it yet so I have read many many threads about it in different forums and I am trying to build a “Frequently Asked Questions” list to save time for anyone who wants to buy it in the future.

If you happen to read this thread and feel there is any FAQ I missed, please kindly add it in the comment and I will update the list

Sometimes I, like many photographers, mention the camera’s settings when posting a photograph or when explaining how to set a camera for different types of photography. These settings look much like this: f/2.8, 1/125s, 400mm, ISO: 200. These are the lens’s and sensor’s specifications during the shot and are controlled by the camera automatically or by the photographer manually on the lens or in manual mode (M), program mode (P), aperture priority (A or Av), shutter priority (S or Tv), the camera’s zoom controls, and internal menus.
