<p>Thank you, Dan. I tried that but still nothing. I mean I did exactly that, blank. But I went back to the manual (online) and did a search on 'Info' and poked around to page 210, in case this happens to anyone else. Navigated to the INFO button and set it on 'Shoot. func.' and now it works!<br>

Thank you! Sue</p>

<p>P.S., thank you, Michael and Brad</p>

<p>Michael, I checked out the manual but didn't see anything about that.<br>

Brad, I cycled through the INFO button, but didn't see any option to turn it totally off. It just has options as to how to view the histogram, etc.<br>

Sorry to be a pain but I sure like seeing that. If anyone else has any suggestions, I'd sure appreciate it, Sue</p>

<p>Greetings all.<br>

My 5D Mark II quit displaying the shooting data, such as aperture, white balance, etc. when I depress the shutter half way. It does display the image for a few seconds after making a shot.<br>

Has this happened to anyone else? I really appreciate any help.<br>

<p>Great photos on this thread!<br>

I'm crazy about still lifes lately.<br>

<p>I'm obsessed with still lifes now. I get like that. I find a challenge and can't stop until I'm happy with it. I'm not happy yet compared to some I've seen, but I've improved a lot within the last few days. I'm trying to get items to fade into the darkness (haven't got there yet), and not have any blow outs. I've had the 5D for a week now and we're still getting acquainted.<br>

<p>Thank you. I also read that an EF-S will hit the mirror in a full frame.</p>

<p>I like making dioramas. The background is a photo I took and I used a green screen to show it. The foreground is bits of things and a Schleich figurine. I used white lights and an XSi. I made this a couple of days ago. This is my first time posting on the Thursday Canon thread.</p>

<p>Thank you! It was tough choosing between a better body or better lens. I think in the long run I'll be happier with a full frame. And I have a lot to learn. I have no idea what a dual-format is, but it sounds like I can choose between the two. Don't know why I'd go back but I think I'll be reading here a lot.</p>

<p>This has all been extremely helpful! Though I started this thread about lenses, I have gone back and forth for weeks whether to upgrade lens-wise or body-wise. Thanks to the many helpful people here, I have officially decided on the body, the 5D. I can always upgrade lenses as time goes by.<br>

Colin, the puffin example nailed it. Also, I have been studying for hours the photos on this site and flickr, and those with the full frame have that zing I am looking for.<br>

Just one more question (I think) to JDM von Weinberg, please. You say "the Tamron 10-24, for example, which won't fit on a 5D." Yikes! Do you mean it physically won't fit, or it won't work for some reason on a full frame? If the "connectors" are still all the same and the other lenses still fit, why wouldn't that one? Any help is very much appreciated, thank you.<br>

And I found the camera store here has the 5D for the same price as online, so either Thursday or Friday, I'm jumping in! Now I just need a way to calm down so I'll be able to sleep.</p>

<p>Colin, I'm thinking that instead of getting the Canon 55-250 IS, I would probably do better to go ahead and get the 5D. Even though it's just my hobby, I'm lusting after a full frame. I think I will have to make do with the lenses I have then for another year before I get the 70-300. But I sure want that full frame. I'm hoping I don't get crappy images with the lenses I have. what to do, what to do. But I think I'd rather get the full frame than get lenses that go with my XSi, and then find out they are not good enough for a full frame.<br>

thank you everyone!</p>

<p>thank you very much!<br>

Unfortunately, I do not have a full frame. I have a 450D, XSi. I am debating whether to upgrade to a 5D or 7D, or get a better lens. Opinions as to whether it is better for me to get a better body or better lens next purchase would be much appreciated.<br>

I am not a professional, but a very enthusiastic, passionate hobbyist. I do not do much printing but post on flickr and shoot a variety of subjects. I love taking photos of the grandkids, pets and scenery in Colorado. I like a little street photography and fooling with green screens. Like everyone, I want the best image I can get.<br>

flickr ID is hbwphbwp - zenfolio is http://suedeutscher.zenfolio.com/<br>

the lenses I have right now are:<br>

canon prime 35 mm 1.4 L<br />tamron 10-24 3.5<br />tamron 70-200 2.8<br />canon 50 mm macro 2.5<br />canon 50 mm<br>

Any suggestions on next body or lens is appreciated, Sue</p>

<p>I love my 70-200 Tamron and was thinking of selling it if I get a 70-300. My 70-200 has taken some very sharp shots.</p>

<p>I was wondering that, too. I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade in the body or the lens. There is a lot to research. The only L lens I have right now is the 35 prime and I love it. I'm thinking I'll upgrade with a lens, and trying to decide which 70-300 to get.</p>

<p>thank you so much!</p>
