My last camera was a nikon d610 which never exhibited this issue. I have recently purchased a refurbished canon 6d from a wedding photographer. Everything has been fine except he said it had 8k clicks and its really 8974 clicks, and It seems to be very easy to get hot pixels in images with long exposure. I tried a trick involving manual sensor clean function which was supposed to remap the pixels. This helped a bit. Now instead of there being 25+ hot pixels there is only a dozen. If this is normal for canon cameras Ill just learn to live with it, but I am just wondering if this camera was not actually repaired and this photographer did not notice because he did not do low light photography. I had a bad experience with Canon repair once before, where they said they fixed the back focus issue and sent the camera back to me 4 times before it finally actually got fixed. Meanwhile 8 weeks without the camera. I wouldnt be too concerned ordinarily but I had to pay almost the refurb price if I bought the refurb from canon.

One thing I would like to clarify is that I am not a beginner. I simply put this here because there is no neutral ground equipment section. Additionally I understand that for lots of macro work one truly needs manual focus and a tripod (very sturdy one at that). However like I said, I am doing a special kind of photography, Its not true macro but more like "close up" photography (1:3 - 1:4). I do not wish to elaborate anymore then that. If me leaving out that detail prevents you from specifically answering the question with the criteria I set forth then by all means don't. :) I am aware that the camera plays a huge role in AF speed. That being said the AF I will be doing will be Servo. Thanks all!

What I am looking for in order of importance: -sharpest wide open or near wide open -Macro or near macro capability (1:2 is fine or even 1:3) -fastest AF (I know fast plus macro dont mix but I am not talking fast at macro distance, but near) -image stabilization but not nec Dont care what brand (only have one canera and one lens so a switch would be effortless) I do specialized photography so these features would be really nice if possible! What about canon 100mm IS? Thanks in advance!

William W, Your arrogant and rude I def wont be looking at any more of your posts. I have a life beyond the internet and have been too busy to post examples. I see from the replies no one else has experienced this issue with Nikon WB so I think I will just try to adjust the metering and see what happens.

To Frode I have actually tried the white object. What happens is the greenish bluish cast is traded for a overly orangey cast. Again its only one type of scene I never have this problem with all other scenes just about. To Ali Baba I mentioned that I have tried to custom white balance using a expo disc clone.
