Quick control A small feature on some of the latest EOS cameras makes it easier for you to be in full control of many of the important features and functions.
Tilt-and-shift Canon’s two latest tilt-and-shift lenses are aimed at professional landscape and architecture photographers. But what is tilt-and-shift and why is it so useful?
Sensor size There is a lot of confusion about megapixels and sensor size, and the impact each has on image quality. Andrew Gibson clarifies the advantages of full-frame and cropped sensors.
Moonlit escape Photography by moonlight is all slightly weird – both the actual capture, which involves roaming the countryside at night, and the images themselves. David Clapp introduces this new world.

Battery power The LP-E6 battery is now used by three EOS cameras. We take a fresh look at Canon’s most advanced battery to see how its features benefit the photographer.

The magazine was redesigned and relaunched with a square-back binding with the April-June 2006 issue. At the same time, the cover date was changed to indicate the period covered by the magazine, rather than the publication month. (Under the previous system, the April-June 2006 issue would have been the March 2006 issue).
