Has anyone else had their CPS equipment inventory drastically reduced by Canon, resulting in no longer qualifying for the existing membership level? All of a sudden, my inventory seems backdated by years, only showing less than half of the points I ...

The current October issue of Outdoor Photographer magazine has an excellent article on "Photographing Birds In Flight." That article contains two important recommendations, the first one of which I asked this Community about as a separate topic a m...

Thanks to all. This afternoon saw a visit by a beautiful hummingbird. I fetched my 7D2 with 300 4/fL IS and 1.4x, turned the body on, and (wait for it!) nothing happened. Turns out that this battery was also totally discharged without my being awa...

Thanks. I think it provides corroboration that these expensive little guys (I have 6 of them, all branded official Canon batteries, all made in China) can be problematic if we don't maintain some kind of means to ensure we check their status periodic...
