Choosing the size of SD card for a Canon 550D?

I use a 32GB card, but I feel that was a mistake. If I could do it again I would've purchased multiple smaller cards. If I had more than one card I wouldn't suffer from a single point of failure in th …

FIlter for Canon L 2.8 IS 100mm macro lens?

I buy filters for all of my lenses as a means of protecting the front element. Yes, it will slightly degrade the IQ (not sure it's perceptible, though), but it's a peace of mind; I'd rather replace a …

slow glass vs. fast glass

If you're using them for landscape then aperture isn't your concern, but sharpness is. My understanding is that the 70-200's are sharper, but may not be noticeable when stopped down to F/8 or smaller. …

What's the difference between holding a half-pressed shutter button and pressing the AE lock?

As I have been looking around today the AE lock button is supposed to lock in the focus and exposure settings (aperture and shutter) so that the picture can be recomposed before taken. I also believe …

Will the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 give better auto-focus results than the 50mm f/1.8?
