This is a tad OT, but what was your previous experience with B&H and what did they change? Over the ten or so years I've been dealing with them, I've found them to be reliably faster than finding time to drive to the nearest mall. I don't doubt that my location has something to do with that; the shipping services between New York and the Boston suburbs do a remarkably good job. The biggest problem I've had is not being home (or not noticing) when they came around, and having to drive to the absurdly remote locations where they load and unload their trucks.

Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR

Want to know if the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras will fit and work with the EOS Rebel XTi camera.

Absolutely. Just remember to learn how to hold all the extra weight steady when using it. Mine sees a lot of use, but it took a while to adjust to it's weight. .

When will Lightroom 4 support tethering for Canon EOS 6D?

Hi, all...
The Canon 6D is not in the current list of supported cameras for tethering in Lightroom. When will Lightroom 4 support tethering for Canon EOS 6D?
Thanks
Steve

To be clear: Lightroom 4.3 now supports Canon 6D Raw files

Lightroom still does not yet support tethering for Canon 6D

Lenses for CAnon EOS 50D

Hi
I have recently retired and hope to purchase a Canon Eos 50D shortly.
As a new comer to digital photography I would like advise on lenses to buy please,
as I am totally confused by the array of different lenses on offer.
I need : ,

Fixed Focal Length Lenses
Long-Range-Zoom-Camera-Lenses
Wide angle lense
All assistance appreciated.
I feel you should refer to the range available in Best buy
Thank you in advance
Liam

Are you planning on buying a 50D kit or just the body? Maybe start out with the 50D kit with the 28-135 and buy a 70-300 also. This should give you a good range to start until you find what kind of photography you enjoy. Canon has a good wide angle in the 10-22mm. Its not too expensive ($850 I think).
Lens choices depends on what you are planning to shoot. For example when I shoot weddings (I use Nikon BTW so the lens sizes are Nikon sizes) I use a 14-24 F/2.8 for the formals mainly, 28-70 F/2.8 and a 70-200 F2.8. Alot of times I have to deal with low lighting and some churches actually wont let me use a flash inside the chapel. For motorsports and airshows, I'll bring the 12-24 F/4 (for ground displays at airshows), 70-200 F/2.8, 300mm F/2.8 (for motorsports), 500mm F/4 or the 600mm F/4 for airshows (mostly the 600 goes, but the 500 is fine for the local one since we're closer to the flight box). Senior & family portraits 85mm F/1.4 for seated shots and the 28-70 for the outdoor/hobby shots.

Camera RAW Support for Canon EOS 50D

I'm trying to read RAW files from the new Canon EOS 50D in Photoshop. I have Camera RAW v4.5 which is stated to work with the previous 40D, but doesn't seem to work with the 50D...
Has anyone managed to read RAW files from an EOS 50D using Photoshop?
I'm on a Windows PC using Photoshop CS3 version 10.0 with the Camera RAW 4.5.0.175 plug in. I've also tried the DNG converter downloaded with that version of Camera RAW (same ver no.) to no avail.
Help gratefully received!

>Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\
is not present (or any near equivalent) on my PC.
If you don't have that exact location then the odds are that your Photoshop/Bridge CS3 install is wrong. The location listed is the correct location for XP and Vista 32 bit. If you have Vista 64, then there is a different location. But, if you have XP or Vista 32 and you don't have that exact location already, then you really need to check the CS3 install.
> put the CameraRaw.8bi file into Programs/Adobe/CS3/Plug-ins/File Formats/.
And that's the WRONG place to put it...that location will ONLY allow Photoshop to access it, not Bridge. The Camera Raw plug-in MUST be installed in the CORRECT location for both Photoshop and Bridge.

RAW Camera support for Canon EOS 500D?

I just bought the Canon EOS 500D and now Aperture returns an "unsupported image format" when I shoot in RAW. I have the latest RAWCameraUpdate.pkg with version 2.5.
Still nothing.
Help!?

What you can do for now is use Aperture to organize and collect your images while you wait for a RAW update. In the interim, if you need to get images out for printing, email, web, etc. export the master and use the very underrated DPP (Digital Photo Professional) that came with your camera. It does a very good job with RAW conversion of Canon files and actually gives you some advantages over Aperture and ACR/Ligthroom in that it will let you apply your camera technologies that you lose when you shoot RAW over JPEG.
It's rather limited in what it can do in comparison to Aperture or Lightroom, but for simply getting excellent images from your RAW files, with basic edits like cropping, sharpening, and exposure it's very good.

Camera Raw for Canon EOS 6D? I use PSE 9.

Where can I download a Camera Raw version wich supports Canon EOS 6D? I use PSE9.
Peter.

For the EOS 6D you have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) DPP
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

HT4757 installer for canon eos digital rebel xt for mac 7.10.5

I need to know why my camera isnt downloading my photos anymore. I couldn's find my installer, and it should be on my compter. Is there an online download for this camera with this latest system?

BTW - in case anyone is wondering, I've tested this... Canon T1i does work with tethering. (this camera is natively supported by Aperture for purposes of tethering)
For any cases where there is a camera which is not supported directly, there is also a work-around which should work for almost any camera.
Go to the Aperture plug-ins page: http://www.apple.com/aperture/resources/plugins.html
Look for a plug-in called "Aperture Hot Folders" (direct link is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/aperturehotfolder.html?cmp )
The plug-in monitors a folder (of your choosing). Any image which shows up in that folder will automatically be imported into an Aperture project (it's on-the-fly). Essentially you'd use the Canon EOS Utility to do the tethering, which requires that you pick a target folder where it'll save all pictures you shoot during the tethered session. You then tell Aperture Hot Folders to monitor that same folder and import any images found into an Aperture project. It gives you the ability to create tethering support for any camera that can do "tethering" even if Aperture doesn't directly support the specific camera (by using the manufacturer's own tethering utility.)

What's the best Telephoto Zoom lens for canon rebel T3??

Hi, i have a canon rebel t3 and i want a telephoto lens , but i don't know which lens to take between Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM and Canon EF-S IS 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II, I generally like to shoot street, abstract and nature photos and I'm not sure which lens is going to be more suitable to my needs...

Vasanthkumar and Sami:
There are actually 3 lenses that are pretty similar in range and price: the 55-250, the 70-300 and the 75-300. Of the 3, the 75-300 is rated poorest quality.
Here is a tool that lets you compare image quality between 2 lenses. You can even see them at different lengths and at different apertures.
http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx
And here are reviews of all 3 lenses:
http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-70-300mm-f-4-5.6-IS-USM-Lens-Review.aspx
http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-75-300mm-f-4-5.6-III-USM-Lens-Review.aspx
http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-S-55-250mm-f-4-5.6-IS-Lens-Review.aspx
Among the 3, I would choose the 70-300 IS. It has Image Stabilization, and for the price it really has good image quality.
My 2nd choice would be the 55-250 IS. Same reasons as above. I actually owned this lens for a while, and it was indeed capable of taking a sharp picture.
I personally would not go with the 75-300. No IS, for one thing. More importantly, it is not very sharp according to reviews. The small price savings vs. the 2 better lenses would not be worth it to me if all my photos suffered noticably.
To quote the review above on this lens, "If you care about great image quality and sharp photos, the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Lens is not for you. And Photoshop cannot enhance details that are not there."
Good luck!

Support for tethered shooting for Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i

I just read online that Apple Aperture 3.1.2 won't tether to my Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i under OS X 10.6.7. Is this true? If so, is there a workaround or some software I can install?
Thanks,
Joe

Best lens for Canon 50D to shoot sports

I am looking for a lens for my Canon 50D to take sport shots of my boys? Any suggestions?

f/2.8 constant aperture and moderate to long telephoto.
Really depends on how close you can get to your boys. 70-200/2.8 is a common sports lens, but you'll see the pro photogs have crazy stuff like 300/2.8 and 500/4.
A 70-200/2.8 will run you around $800-2000 depending on brand/features - The Tamron ones with no IS are around $800, I think the Canon L glass with IS is in the $2000 range.
A 300/2.8 will be a few thousand, a 500/4 will be $5k+ easily.
Note: If only outdoors in daytime, you may be able to get away with one of the (far cheaper) 70-300 f/3.5-5.6 lenses. But these won't work well for indoor or night sports.

IPhoto 6 OS X 10.4.7 support for Canon EOS 350D

I am thinking of buying a Canon EOS 350D.
Can anybody confirm whether or not this camera is supported in iPhoto 6 for RAW image processing, and more generally whether this camera is supported in the OS X 10.4.7. The current list of supported cameras does not include this model.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html
Mike

I have had the 350D for right at a month now. Basic operations with RAW and JPG formats work well. iPhoto recognized the camera automatically the first time that I needed to import.
Just recently I have begun having problems, and I'm starting to try to get to the bottom of the problems. When I import just a few photos up to 200 photos, everything works perfect. I have a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II CF card. When I exceed 300 photos (less than half the capacity of the card), iPhoto will not import all of the photos. I get an error message showing that the last 100 files of the 300 are unreadable files. The camera reads the files and displays the images on the camera screen. I tried the CF card in someone elses printer that can read cards. This read every picture on the card fine. I tried setting the camera so that it would not automatically shut off. That did not work either. If someone can help with this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it. This is the first post I've read, so I decided to try to get help here. I will also search the forums for other threads that may help.

No Finder image preview for Canon EOS-1D X .CR2 files

I am working on a catalog and have been provided nearly 2000 images from which to choose. I have had no preview issues up until the photographer started using a Canon EOS-1D X. Before, he was using a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and I could preview the images via Info, spacebar, column preview, or Place command. I have no problems opening the RAW images fine in Photoshop just with the Finder preview. I typically view the images by opening a folder and previewing as icons so I can quickly wade through them. I have everything turned on in Show Image Options and have no issues with previews from any other image files except these from the new camera. I am having to open them one-by-one in Photoshop just to see the image content. Is there a plug-in or something that will generate a preview? I'm about to pull my hair out!

Addendum: I have discovered that I can preview the images easily in Adobe Bridge so it has basically solved my problem BUT I would still like to know why I get no Preview. Is it a system thing? I'm only on Snow Leopard. Maybe Lion or Mountain Lion supports it...???
