Photography

FWIW I have the 7D mk 2, having previously had the the 7D, and the 5D mk 3. The full frame and crop cameras really are different tools suited to different tasks. The 7D is great for wildlife, especially birds, because of the crop factor, but its low light performance and ultimate image quality is not in the same league as the full frame cameras.  If I can get the reach I need with the 5D then I will always use it over the 7D.  If you are a landscape/travel etc shooter then the full frame cameras really score, even the 5D mk 2 was a great camera and if were looking for a low cost way into full frame shooting I would be looking at a used 5d mk 2 or 6D.

On lenses IMO the best (sensibly priced lens) for wildlife is the 100-400 either a good mk 1 version or if the budget allows the new mk 2, this coupled with the 7D mk 1 or 2 is a great combination for everything from safari to birds. Despite what Tony Northrup says there have been many occasions in my wildlife photography experience that 400mm on a crop body can be too long particularly as some of my favourite images show the animal in its environment rather than just being another boring close up. 

Went to use my Canon 760D and came up with a code 20 error.  Followed the instructions, basically switch on off/take out battery and replace.  Charged battery etc., but to no avail.  I'll have to ring Canon when we get home but has anyone got any ideas? thanks....

Oneputt, had a similar code error with my 350 turned out to be SD card, I formatted the card problem solved. Good luck

Thanks for the tip MrRoute. I can't access the menu.  Just in case though I reformatted my card on another camera then put it back in the Canon but to no avail.

any luck with your camara oneput?

Not yet, will take it to Advanced Camera Services in Watton when we get home.  Have used them before and they are very good.

Hopefully pick my Canon up next week.  I still don't know the actual cause of the fault, will get the low down when I pick it up.  

Best  Wishes  for  a  satisfactory  outcome, OP,  both  in  the  cure  &  the  cost  !!
