The Canon 7D Mark II deserves all of the applause it has ever received. The Auto-Focus system is state of the art, comparable only to Canon's top of the line model.. Captures birds in flight with ease. This camera is a top camera choice among birders because the AF system, image quality from dual processors, and extra reach from the APS-C image sensor. It can capture details in stills with stunning accuracy.

Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary

This is a great entry level lens into the world of telephoto photography. The best part is that this is simply a great lens. Take the time to purchase the Sigma Dock, so that you can tune the lens to your camera, and get absolutely razor sharp photos with precise bokeh.

Canon EF 70–200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens This telephoto zoom lens is an essential tool for professional photographers and skilled amateurs. The variable focal length makes it useful for photographing a broad range of subjects, and the 2.8 maximum aperture functions well in low-light situations. Snap candid portraits, stop the action at sporting events or compose wedding photos with exceptional blurred backgrounds.

Canon Makes The Best Glass
on March 12, 2016
Posted by: Waddizzle
Verified Purchase:Yes
I took the lens out on a chilly, grey, winter afternoon to take some test shots. The sky was heavily overcast, with the type of evenly toned, grey clouds that bring the promise of snow, which they eventually did. In other words, I did not have the best light conditions for taking pictures. The detail in the picture is amazing. You can see the brush strokes in the paint job on the barrel of the cannon. Take a look for yourself. Canon makes the best glass, and this lens is one of the best they have ever released for the consumer market. The AF is fast. The IS is dead silent. Handhold this lens by the tripod foot, to relieve stress on the camera body mount.

Very Good Filter, But .....
on October 3, 2015
Posted by: Waddizzle
Verified Purchase:Yes
This CPL has one of the best price performance ratio. I can mount this filter, point my camera at a large flat screen TV, and turn the lens until the TV screen goes completely black. But, I do have one major issue, though.
The knurled edge of the portion of the filter that rotates sticks just enough so that I cannot mount my hood onto the lens when this filter installed. If I wish to use this filter with my hood, I have to first install the hood, and then try to reach inside and screw on this filter. Not good. Designers should have easily foreseen this issue.
Overall, without that raised edge on the knurling, I would give this lens 5 stars. If you do not use a hood, then my issue is moot for you. If you do use a hood, prepare yourself to be slightly inconvenienced.

Very Good Filter

This filter does exactly what I need quite well. First, it protects my lens from bologna fingers when I try to replace the lens cap. It's easier to clean the filter than the lens, not mention safer. Using a UV seems to help me control by exposures.
Second, while I do use a hood under most outdoor circumstance, this filter does not cause reflections or haze in my images when I do not.

I always purchase filters for my lenses, just for the protection that they offer to my lenses. This one not only protects my lenses, but it seems to help me get better exposure control. Overall, an excellent value.

Much Better Than the Suction Cup
on October 3, 2015
Posted by: Waddizzle
Verified Purchase:Yes
This mount does exactly what they claim. Yes, I would recommend this device to anyone who purchases a heavier GPS. It's either buy this thing, or a new GPS.
On the plus side, it is a decent mount that has enough weight in the base to hold the nuviCam GPS. You must remove the bracket from the suction cup and install it on the dashboard mount, which is simple enough. The directions tell you how to change it out. The footprint is a bit wider than my nuviCAM GPS. It has yet to tip over on me, despite the terrible roads around the NYC tri-state area.
On the down side, the base is oddly shaped for reasons that I do not yet understand. As a result, placing it on your dashboard means that the GPS will always be at somewhat of an odd angle relative to the base. This quirk seems to be intentional, so I assume that it adds something to stability. It just looks a bit sloppy, that's all.
My only other critique is that my vehicle has a slight depression in the dash for holding stuff in one place, which is where I put this mount. The "bean bag" base shapes itself to fit the space fairly well, but the GPS may shake at times. I I have hit a number of road bumps that cause the GPS to record an "event", or accident.
The suction cup mount was less prone to false events than this mount. Because it can bounce around, your camera alignment can become misaligned rather easily, which causes numerous false lane drift warnings.
Other than that, this device solves the problem of the rubber disk on the bottom of the suction cup being too small, which is what causes it too lose its' grip in the first place. If you do not have the rubber disk perfectly aligned with the plastic base, then a slow air leak forms where the edges slightly overlap, and eventually it loses all vacuum.

If a gps has a speed limit indicator, does it actually show the speed your driving or just let you know the posted speed limit you should be driving?

My Garmin nuviCam shows both the posted speed limit, and the speed that I am traveling. It also knows about reduced speed zones around schools, during daytime hours.

Save your money, and buy a Nikon flash. Unfortunately, you will not appreciate this advise until you buy a "cheap" flash to go with your Nikon 5100.

garmin nuvi 50lm

Is this GPS good for truck drivers?
Negative. Look for a GPS that is designed for truck routes. The Garmin nuvi57LM, and three other Garmin models, claims to be designed for truckers. The included suction mount for the window is woefully inadequate for long trips. I recommend the weighted friction mount for sitting on the dash.

Navigation in dash

I am looking to buy a navigation system with 7 " display in dash for Honda Pilot 2005. the system should have, GPS, DVD/CD, Handfree bluetooth, and compatable to put in backup camera.
Also recommand backup system. I would also want you guys to install ..my area code is 94538
The top of the line version of the Garmin NuviCam GPS has a 7" display, is Bluetooth compatible, and has an option for a backup camera. I recommend buying the alternative mount with the weighted bottom. The included suction cup mount fails to hold the unit for more than 10-30 minutes, depending upon weather and driving conditions. This is an excellent GPS. It can show you what the highway exit looks like before you reach it. It can tell you which lane to be in for those complicated interchanges. AND MORE....

I have a Canon 50D and I am looking to buy a lens that would good for taking sports shots of my boys.

Advice on lenses
There is no single answer to your question. The best lens "for taking sport shots" of your boys, or anything else for that matter, depends highly upon your shooting location: indoors or outdoors: how close you are to the action; how "tight" do you want the images to be; etc.

Basically, you want a camera with as many AF points as possible, a high frame rate per second, and high MP is not as important as other factors like high ISO performance and high shutter speeds.

One of the best all around lenses for shooting sports are the 70-200mm lineup of Canon "L" lenses. You also would want a "fast" lens, which means one with a low f/stop number. You want something f/4, or better. Canon DSLRs perform better with f/2.8, or faster, lenses, by design.

On a budget? I think the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM, or the EF 85mm f/1.8 are good choices on a crop sensor body camera for shooting fast action. The low f/stop numbers will give you better DOF, depth of field, because they will exhibit lower hyperfocal distances. In other words, on focus setting will work if subjects are 50 feet away, 100 feet away, or more.

Would you please let me know Sigma lens 18 250 as good as canon lens 18 200on cano 60D. Thank

I think Canon makes the best glass, hands down. I have not used the Sigma 18-250, so I cannot offer any opinion on how well it would perform on a Canon body.

Be aware that really good zoom lenses have a zoom ratio between the short and long end of the focal length range of 3-4:1, or less. The Canon lens has a ratio of approximately 11:1, while the Sigma is nearly 14:1. Manufacturers make a variety of lenses because there is no such thing as one "do it all" lens. If that is what you want, then go buy a point and shoot camera. DSLRs have interchangeable lenses for a reason, image quality performance.

Neither the Canon or the Sigma lens will perform as well as a single focal length, prime lens. Both designs will have to make compromises in image quality in order to achieve that wide of a physical zoom range. Canon's professional line of "L" Series lenses covers that range of focal lengths with three lenses: 16-35mm, 24-105mm, 70-200mm.

If forced to choose between those two lenses, though, I would stick with the best glass manufacturer, Canon.
