I’m becoming a bit of a collector

Camera's I'm Looking for
I'm becoming a bit of a collector of older Canon cameras. I'm not going to try to get every one, but there are a few I'd like to add. I just got a near mint black AE-1 (not program).

Cameras I would like as close to mint as possible:

F-1
Silver AE-1
Canonet G-III 17 (Black & Silver)
T70
T80
T90
PELLIX
50 f/0.95

If you have a camera not listed here, I'd like to hear about it too.

Can't always find what I'd like on ebay. If anyone has any they'd like to pass on to a good home, let me know.

My CPS Remarks

WOW

What a storm I created by my comments!

A few things:

1) I would have left the thread up had the language remained civil and no name calling. So I will try one last time to address this.

2) What I said was taken way out of context. I was only agreeing with Canon's position about CPS requirements. The less people in the program, the better it will be for the people in it.

That being said, if they're going to charge for CPS membership. Count me out. I don't need another insurance policy on my camera stuff. It'd cost me less to just rent a body if I needed one than paying $500 for a platinum membership.

3) I'm sorry if I offended you. If I did, my comment was taken out of context because I probably expressed it wrong. I'm not a great writer.

4) Happy Shooting.

What worked out and what didn’t

Rumors
What did our sources do well on?

1. CR was the first site with the 20+ mp specs for the 5D2
2. CR was bang on with the 15mp 2nd camera, however it wasn't FF.
3. CR was first to say the SX would be slit into 2 cameras. We assumed SX100, but it turned out the new S5 was split into 2 under the SX model name.
4. CR was the first to report DIGIC IV on the new cameras.
5. CR was the first to say 3 new cameras. (XS, 50D, 5D2)
6. We knew the 40D would remain current with the 50D.

What we flubbed?
1. Our lens sources were way off. No 24-70 or 100-400 replacements. The 35L was actually the 24L
2. No “GMOS” camera, although we eventually thought it'd be pushed to PMA in the spring.
3. 2 Full Frame Cameras never came (for now).
4. The 5D Mark II Launch in general. :(
5. Probably some other things I still need to look over.

Some rumors turn out to be fragments of truth. I know our rumors for PMA will be a lot better. I'll have a better filter on sources now.

Thanks for reading
