My 7D stopped working in -30 C, according to an associate. I have yet to test this myself. I’m curious how cold the conditions were you were shooting in and if you noticed any issues.

Hi Ole,
I read your review so many times until now, it’s really great!
I’ve a question: I’ll be in Lapland (Finland) in middle january and I’ll use my 7D to take the most shots I can, how did you set up the WB?
Did you choose one of the standard settings or did you create your own setting?
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards

I like the admins suggestion. Depending on the amount of data you need to back up. Get a cheap docking port that holds internal drives as external drives. Buy a 1gb drive and back up to that. Then keep off site. If your needs are bigger and you want some added protection I sprung for a drobo pro and use acronis to do differential archives. It also allows for one or two disk failures while still maintaining data integrity. With iscsi it’s pretty fast too.

Looking forward to the rest of your review. Any timeline for posting?

@Viking,
you can also look at Smugmug. I use that site and i think its much better than Flickr.

Hi Viking

I recommand you to buy another external harddrive and back-up all your stills and video, and store this harddrive somewhere else (family, work, friends or bank). That is in my opinion the best back-up solution. For HD-video you can also upload to ie. Vimeo (www.vimeo.com)

If anyone have comment on this please share youre thoughts.
I use flickr for backup, so in case of my house burn down/all my harddrives goes bad I have a backup.

I only use flickr for private backup and not sharing like facebook.
I feel that flickr is the most safe, in terms of backup and privacy, since it is owned by yahoo. Feel free to comment, just my thoughts.

Question.
Now video backup on flickr is not that great, so what are the good options for video bakcup, as flickr is for images ?

Ill be happy to pay for the service, only if it safe has flickr.

Has a professional what do you think about flickr as backup for images, and what are you using for video.

thanks for your blog! it’s very interesting

I have a question for you

what about the 5D Mark II weather sealing? I’m hesitate between 1D Mark III and it, but I read many times the 5D
Mark II weather sealing is very bad :/ what your opinion about that?
