Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Specification

With 22.3 million effective pixels, the Canon EOS 5D Mk III's sensor only has 1.2MP more than the 21.1MP Canon EOS 5D Mk II that it replaces, but it has 4.2MP more than the 18.1MP Canon EOS-1DX at the top of Canon's DSLR lineup.

Whereas the Canon 1DX has two Digic 5+ processors, the 5D Mk II has one, which in combination with its eight-channel readout means that it has a top continuous shooting speed of 6fps.

Autofocus

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III has the same 61-point wide-area autofocus system as the flagship Canon EOS-1DX. This is a big improvement on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, which has nine user selectable AF points and six assist points, giving a total of 15.

Of these 61 points, 41 are cross-type and five are dual cross-type points, which is good news for accuracy. The customisable AF presets introduced in the Canon EOS-1D X are also available, which Canon claims helps when shooting more challenging subjects.

Outstanding design, exceptional performance – Canon sets new standards with the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM and EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM

Extender isCanon's name for a teleconverter. These high-performance accessories multiply the effective focal length of an attached lens by 1.4x or 2x. For example, a 200mm lens with Extender 1.4x has an effective focal length of 280mm: with the Extender 2x, this increases to 400mm. Extenders are only compatible with selected EF lenses, including the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, EF 70-200mm f/4L, EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM, EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM and fixed length L-series lenses of 135mm or higher.

EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM

Super fast Super Sharp a must for Macro

The EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM, part of Canon’s prestigious L series, and first featuring an Image Stabilizer with angle and shift detection that is highly effective at close focusing distances.

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens is an extremely fun lens to use. It combines excellent image quality with a useful focal length, a relatively small/light body, fast/quiet AF with 1:1 (1x) macro capabilities - and HIS (Hybrid Image Stabilization).

Overall, when you factor the effective IS system, stunning good looks and feel, the improved optical qualities, and the relatively reasonable price point, I say that the new Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro is a formidable macro and portrait lens for any Canon user, particularly if you're using a newer, high-resolution sensor camera. This is practically a must-have lens for those who earn from stock photography, macro photography, and food photography.

As a leader in speed and resolution the EOS-1D Mark IV, captures the extraordinary. Freeze action at 16.1 Megapixels and at 10fps or with Full HD video, the EOS-1D Mark IV is ready for everything.

The Canon EOS 7D is equipped with an integrated Speedlite Transmitter, making it easy to control external Speedlite flashguns with no additional accessories required. The magnesium alloy body offers weather sealing, an Integrated Cleaning System and 150,000 release shutter durability.

Canon 800mm

I purchased this lens soon after it became available in the UK. I have been a Canon user for many years. My primary use is Bird photos, usually from a rather large distance, and this lens is the best I have ever used.. It's not for everyone, it's big and heavy and costly, but the performance is fantastic! I highly recommend this lens if you need a lens of this length.

GH5380SQR Head

Review of Gitzo Head

Having used the Gitzo Head for some weeks now I can finally write my review on this product. We all know that Gitzo products are the very best and this is no different, a top quality head from Gitzo.

I have been using it on my Canon 500 f4 ,it has great easy movement and extremely safe. I have also tried it on macro work and it is superb, very quick and easy to use.

What more can you say about the Gitzo GH5380SQR Head , it will stand the test of time, it is very light and compact and there is no comparison for the work you need from this Head. It is a must for travelling, it is a well made bit of engineering

The systematic head is specifically dedicated to photographers who love to shoot with long and ultra long lenses for wild life, sport and action photography. Long lenses require ultra smooth movements, exceptional locking capabilities, minimized drift angle, “super fast” and intuitive operation. The systematic head features a revolutionary hydraulic locking system placed for the first time inside the ball. It is a completely new concept, not just a reversed ball head

The locking collar moves together with your equipment and you will always find the head controls, while keeping your eye in the view finder. The system allows you to set the friction by means of a button that sets the stroke of the locking collar. The head comes in two versions, quick release and 1/4” disc attachments. A small 1/4” to 3/8” screw adapter is included. The quick release system is lever operated to guarantee a safer and stronger operation.
