how good is the eos m plus after the firmware update which improve its autofocus speed after that?

I would say current gen phone camera focus faster than EOS M. Btw, EOS M 3 is coming (worldwide announcement should be happening today)...

EOS M will be inheriting the dual/hybrid focus system from 700D/70D

IMHO, if this is a food/menu photography shot, it will fail coz of the full of swirl spoon + also uneven lighting / shadow

Yea... The shadow hits me hard. I try to move my flash, adjust power level. Trying to make both even light level. Can't achieve also... Is it because flash didn't sync properly? Cause I'm using wireless remote on 1 flash and other using slave mode

The spoon scratch cause don't have nice spoon lol! Didn't get new props!

Where should I improve more? How's the composition?

For this picture definitely need to crop

work on bouncing and reflector.

Hi guys, new year new mission : My first (and hopefully last) wedding day shoot for my bro in law (as I only have 1 Bro-in-law)

It will be the typical Chinese wedding day, morning with him to fetch the bride and night wedding in restaurant.

I'm intensely debating on the gear to bring and would like your opinions:

1 Canon 550D + YN568EX + Tamron 17-50 for the usual situations.
2 Canon 60D + 430Ex+ with either the 35mm F2 or 50mm F1.8?

Recently I have come to expect very less of the 35mm in dim situations Auto focus and really kills my mojo. I imagine the shorter length allows for closer portraits (Restaurants)

With the 50mm I also expect nothing in AF but will the longer reach be useful and enable slightly better (undistorted) portraits? I suppose a good way would be to carry everything but I really want to avoid lens change. Or should I just go Rambo with 1 lens and enjoy the low weight?

FYI above is all the gear I can probably get / carry.

1. As yourself do you like to shoot wide of tight ?
2. Choose a body that have better ISO range and noise level
3. Which flash give you more flexibility ?

Yes agree as starter, use only 1 body and lens setup.

thanks all bro's and sis's replies, i feel more confident to go with just 1 camera + Lens.

Yes I will have reflector / big bounce card thingy to use with the flash. I am really afraid of neck breaking with 2 cameras....wish me the best.

Thanks much to the three of you for those suggestions. Here's the situation for now:
I have two batteries. I tested those batteries one by one after fully-recharge it which to me it should be normal as there was no blinking indicators during charging those batteries. But sadly, after tried to switch on using both batteries - the camera still won't turn on  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

I am currently in a tight budget while waiting for pay to come in. So do anyone of you know where is a good place to give my camera and batteries some checking at cheap or affordable price?

And at the same time - the problem here should be within the body kit, the lens, or just those batteries that may be totally drained out?

Just bought a Canon 50mm f1.4.  Bought it two weeks ago and just played with it last week.  All photos were out of focus so bad I'd be better off using my 50mm f1.8, (6D's LCD screen quite bad to tell if anything is in focus, or maybe its my screen protector that made it hard, so I didn't know til editing time)!  This week was playing with the micro AF adjustment.  Major front focus issues but lucky my Canon 6D has micro adjustment.  Had to +12 it, which i feel is a bit much.  But then this means my 650d can't use this lens. 

Its grey good with in shop 1yr warranty.  Should I take it back to them, which I'm not sure what they would do?  Or is there a place that can re-calibrate its AF?

any sample image to share as well file exif ?

50 F1.4 does have certain 'flaws'

Can anyone suggest me which type of lens I should go to if I want a wider shots on my 70D?

I bought the 50mm because 1)its cheap, 2)because I want that wide aperture. I do know its gonna be too tight on a crop sensor but I still bought it haha

I'm really keen on portraits though

how wide is your wide ? purpose ? budget ?

1st my fried rice fail.
2nd i hardly know which angle to catch.
3rd after shooting few shots, then realize my chose of plate is wrong. and its too late to change...

I can't comment much the technicality of this images but i would suggest you use camera grid line to get the composition and have a image in your mind what is outcome you want from this image. Another way is use handphone to pre-compose some test shots....

Lighting wise i think still can improve the bounce or the light focus....
