First for f/11 autofocus[edit]

It's written : "This technology makes the 70D the first Canon DSLR capable of autofocusing when fitted with lenses or lens-extender combinations with maximum apertures as small as f/11. However, this capability is available only in live view- ......"

It's not true ! the 70D is NOT the first to do it ...

The 7D and the 5D Mark II ( witch i own ) are capable to focusing to F/11 in live view mode too , using contrast detection ...


Example using my 7D with Canon Extender x2 III and EF 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6 L USM at 400mm (witch is f/11) my 7D focus with the autofocus in live view mode !! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.210.11.39 (talk) 04:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've tagged the "first" claim with a dubious tag, but could you provide a source that says that other cameras can focus at f/11 in live view? A review or technical article will do. — Reatlas (talk) 10:30, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]


i did a search on internet and found some link from forum, saying the same thing ... the autofocus of the live view of the 7D focus at f/11 ;)

Thanks. Forum links aren't exactly reliable sources on Wikipedia, but since the review never mentioned it was the first, I've removed the statement. — Reatlas (talk) 16:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Preview → Review[edit]

Does anyone know when the preview is expected to turn into a review? --Leyo 17:44, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Screwed References for the Article[edit]

I'd like to report, that i've made a mistake and removed all references. It was just a mistake and i have no idea how to restore them. I'm really sorry. Could somebody help and restore them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.159.175.26 (talk) 20:15, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
