That's because the Picture Style is removed when you import it into LR as a raw file. You get the Picture Style when viewing on camera and previewing in LR before importing.

Very sure it's because you didn't set your Export setting correctly. Make sure the quality is set to highest at the Export option.

LR wont read the picture style, Canon's own DPP might be able to (not sure since I never use it before).

Post a sample picture and I can tell you if it's normal. Mind you every changes you made in Lightroom will alter the amount of grain on your picture.

I am running i5 + 8gb RAM on my computer yet I feel sluggish with Lightroom. Photoshop is alright but once the layers start to stack up you will notice the slow down also.

It depends on what size of file you are running (for example the Megapixel of your camera), and how heavy your editing is most of the time (one global adjustment eats lesser processing power compared to multiple local adjustments).

70D anyday if you can afford it. The extra megapixel and processor is kinda useless to be honest.

Was curious how much money you've spent into gears so far, mind to tell?

it can be shared

Just pretend I shot this with my EOS M haha. Tumpang thread a while.

Sunset by GM Yong, on Flickr

yes. the longer the more movement you will get.

just took a look at your flickr gallery.

Impressive!

that's weird though. I am using the YN560 II on my Canon, Nikon and Olympus and it works

Tbh I don't see the market of it after the a7rII was launched. Canon's dynamic range is nowhere near Sony.

haha

i wonder what does chopping has to do with a bowl of soup noodles lol.

arr, why don't you experiment with it yourself leh?

Wow since when you need a landscape scene to test exposure?

don't expect too much from the Autofocus of that camera i would say. It's alright when backlight but you need to use it in a specific way to get the best performance.

for screen brightness, I don't really face the problem of not being able to see clearly, it's just like any other canon dslr screen.

battery life, well it's a mirrorless and the battery is small. expect around 200 shots per charge, around half day of shooting at best.

aperture stays the same, since the adapter is empty without any elements. AF, it depends on lenses, faster than typical canon dslr live view AF (excluding 70D, 650/700/750/750D and 7D II).

comparing it against the 100D is pretty much comparing a mirrorless to a dslr. you get smaller and lighter body(better built too with full metal shell) with the M, choice of lenses are alright (you have awesome UWA, alright kit lens, affordable and good 35mm prime, cheap telephoto). for dslr, you get more buttons, faster AF(M1 is slow but usable), better battery life, more lenses, better ergonomics(lack of physical button on M1).

feel free to ask if you need more info (i probably messed up some words since I am writing this on 420am morning).

if you don't mind variable aperture, the canon 18-135mm IS STM is pretty good. definitely a step up in terms of focusing compared to tamron, but a little worse IQ and quite a lot smaller aperture.

Maybe Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 C lens? I think someone from this thread is using it, should be good enough

woah superman bug can hide inside so long without food/ water? something new to me.

A little too optimistic on the performance imo.

Anyways if it managed to get into production it will be a game changer for sure.

Lens is pretty awesome for the price. It's sharp, have quite smooth bokeh, not bad close focus ability and a bright f2 aperture. It's a little noisy sometimes when the focusing motor travel through a long focal range but for normal usage the focusing is alright in bright to normal light, not really fast but usable. I would say it wins the 50mm for focus accuracy since the M is using contrast detection, for speed they are on par to me.

The biggest cons would be the REALLY heavy vignette at f2. It's so obvious that the corner is around 2 stops darker in my observation, coupled with Canon's sensor that hates shadow lifting it might causes quite a lot of noise when you correct it.

I am located at Kampar currently and if you want to try the 22mm and EOS M I have both of them

Some sample pictures taken by the lens (not really accurate representation of the quality since I edit most of my shots quite a lot).



EDIT: for portrait orientation pictures it's better to view them on flickr, the way flickr compresses them are awful
