Only needed when such precision matters enough, especially given digital and today's tech advances, so yeah, rarely ever needed unless you shoot macros rather seriously/meticulously and/or often... or maybe love to measurebate perhaps... ;):lol: _Man_

Mike, even if it can (technically) be mounted (w/ adapter) and used on your Canon DSLR, I'm guessing it'd probably only be usable in fully manual mode, which might be extra tricky as a long tele lens (that also looks rather lightweight and probably not great in general). Not sure that's really...

Seems like it just is what it is... and best to just remember smell some roses, maybe have a few laughs and not expect too much of other people... not that I'm suggesting we shouldn't try at all of course... As for that one particular article you linked, I think I know what you meant, but it's...

Yes, generally, native ISO should have the greatest DR, but you might not notice a diff unless you do what John mentioned. So yeah, if you want the absolute highest quality, especially where you'd make a lot of use of the extra DR (that might not be readily visible on your in-camera histogram...

Generally agreed about learning to shoot w/ manual ISO first... just because it's easier to learn/understanding/figure out what's actually happening if you only change one variable at a time and/or allow the camera to change only one at a time -- and manual ISO will be more like old film days as...

A quick check of those earlier pics' EXIFs indicate very high ISOs (4000 and 6400), so yeah, "pointilistic" is to be expected -- probably less so if you're using a fullframe camera w/ similar number of pixels, but then, there will be other concerns (like less DoF hehheh). Just remember though...

Niiiice! And congrats, Mike! :rock: Did you go w/ that 18-135 IS USM as well? Now... you didn't follow up on my original comment about this before (probably because it was buried at the end), but you might soon need to consider upgrading some computing hardware to handle those much larger...

Shooting live subjects that won't likely stay (predictably enough) still definitely makes that more likely me thinks... But yeah, developing (and maintaining) better technique w/ the shutter button makes a big diff. That issue (of punching the shutter) definitely sticks out for me of what I...

Ok, I think I see the likely problem (as I suspected from checking the earlier photo), especially for these w/ the dogs. Sorry this ended up much longer than I originally intended... :P First, looks like the main problem is camera shake blur, not likely missed AF (in most such cases). For...

Hmmm... Mike, When you said you've been having AF problems lately, do you have sample photos you took that illustrate such problem? I took a closer look at the one photo you attached above (from your Rebel XS), and it makes me wonder something about the AF issue you're having... _Man_

Mike, For shooting dogs and grandchildren, if you don't really need to print enlargements, why not just shoot w/ a recent model smartphone instead? That's probably what I'd do most times for that... not that I have any dogs or grandchildren (yet)... :P Quick snaps like such (at least in...

Mike, Just from a quick cursory comparison of those 2 bodies, I'd probably go w/ the 80D instead of 7D2 (and essentially save 50% of the 80D refurb price) if I were in your shoes... unless there's some significant known issues w/ the AF or maybe the sensor perhaps -- on surface, the 80D sensor...
