Splinter

I want to try some microphotography (10X or more) and I already have two things, a Canon 5d DSLR camera and an Olympus CX21fs2 Microscope with some objectives (5X 10X 100X).
What do I need to adapt those objectives to my camera? bellows? standard adapters? Does anyone know??
I've already tried using the camera with a tripod on top of the microscope, but it gives mediocre results...
Thanks

Answer
You will need an adapter like this one http://www.amazon.com/AmScope-Canon-Camera-Adapter-Microscopes/dp/B005OZ5NXU

Will my current Canon lens fit new camera?

Cira

I have a Canon Rebel XS DSLR camera. I am planning on purchasing a film camera, and I found a Canon Rebel X 35 mm SLR film camera on ebay, but it's just the body. Could I use the lens from my DSLR for the film camera as well? Would it fit? It doesn't say what type of lens the film camera takes so I'm not sure if it is EF or EF-S. Thank you
Also what about a Rebel G?

Answer
If the lens you have for your Canon Xs is an EF-S such as the EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 it can't be used on the Rebel X. Only Canon EF lenses can be used on the Rebel X or a full-frame DSLR such as the 6D, 5D or 1D. An EF-S lens will damage the Rebel X or full-frame DSLR.

Canon auto focus 35mm cameras: EF lenses only

Canon cropped-sensor DSLR cameras: EF and EF-S lenses

Canon full-frame DSLR cameras: EF lenses only

How do you set up a Canon 5D Mark II to record longer than 10 minutes?

I just got a gig where I will have to record uninterrupted for 45-60 minutes at a time, though my camera (Canon 5D Mark II) can only record uninterrupted for about 10-12 minutes. Is there any way I can hook it up to a computer or something so I can accomplish what needs to be done for this job?

Answer
Not going to happen, sorry. Canon (and all other manufacturers) set a limit on DSLR recording times so the camera's sensor doesn't overheat. Actual video cameras use CCD sensors that don't overheat when recording video. For recording videos, you should have bought an actual video camera/camcorder.

What are the best DSLR cameras to purchase for professional use?

keisha H

I am in the market to purchase a new camera and equipment. I have an opportunity to put together photos for a look book and its been a while since I have done some photography. I just want to know what is the best DSLR camera to invest in for what I am looking to do. I am looking at Canon EOS Rebel T3i I am told its one of the best and then I am told by some that it is not good for what I am wanting to do. I was told that it would be best to invest in the Nikon D800 and some people are saying that there are digitals that give the same features for less. I was looking at a nikon D7000 and D4 complete kit.Please give input it would be greatly appreciated

Answer
Professionals need a robust camera when shooting day in and day out.

For this reason, the use cameras like Nikon's D3 series, D3, D800 or D3. If they have a Canon system, they use a 1Ds, Mark III, 1Dx, 5D, Mark III or 7D.

By the time you have the education and experience that would suggest you could go pro, you will have already established the brand of your camera system. This is why it is so important that you do a lot of independent research and not choose your camera based upon opinion

Look for professional reviews of the above camera on DP Review and DXOMark.com

Also visit the websites of those two brands to see the features, number and types of lenses as welll as accessories that are available for each camera model.

Finally visit a proper camera shop a few times as you narrow down your choices. Picking a camera system can take time because once you choose one, you will be married to it for decades, since whitching brands is just too expensive to make a mistake.

The D7100 and D4 would make a good pair at this time if you decide on Nikon. If you choose Canon, the 1Dx and 7D would be the choices for a pro.

The Canon T3i is an entry level dSLR and really cannot survive the riggers that a pro puts their camera through on a continuing basis.

If you are an advanced amateur and have used a Nikon or Canon 35 mm SLR in the past, the transition to either companies dSLR will be seamless

Remember, buying a couple of professional grade camera bodies is just the tip of the iceberg
