EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: M RAW or "full" RAW on a Canon 6d?

What about sRAW. Isn't it better than mRAW in terms of it's interpolating pattern? It takes 4 pixels and makes them one.

All this does it put numbers to what we already knew. When you put a lens on a D800 and a 5DIII and go out and take pictures the difference in IQ (specifically resolution in this case) is not as large as some people would have you believe. Both cameras are great. It's not worth arguing over. The only reason one needs to compare cameras is if one is going to invest in a new camera system. In that case, one should rent the cameras in question and decide for himself which one best fits his needs.

Look at the 35mm 1.4 Sigma. Better IQ, for a few hundred less.

If it were to have 11 cross-point sensors I would seriously consider buying it. Assuming it doesn't, 5DIII is only upgrade from my 5DII. That's a real shame to me. I can't believe they cripple the autofucus once again. The 60D, 50D, and 650D all have better AF. Why?

70-200 2.8L is hands down the way to go IMO. In the style I shoot it is a must have for weddings. Spends most of the day on my camera. And you have a very similar setup to me on the shorter end. 17-40 and 50 can do everything you need.

i truly believe the move to FF makes a huge difference. the iq is unquestionably better. in my opinion it takes your photography to a different level that is worth the money. it allows you to get shots you couldn't get before and that is worth an undefined amount

Canon General / Re: Do you feel your photos have improved proportionally to the cost of your gear?
« on: August 30, 2012, 01:49:32 PM »
Great question.
I agree with some of the other posters, that more gear allows you to make great photographs in more situations. A point in shoot can make awesome images given the right lighting and situation. The more situations we encounter and want to photograph the more money we spend on gear. Each piece of gear improves the quality of our of photographs for a certain situation, but not for all of them. The more and more gear we have, the more and more specialized or sophisticated our gear has to be in order to improve upon what is already available to us. So we spend a bunch of money on a piece of gear that only helps us improve incrementally.
From a personal standpoint I must say that my move the Full Frame made the biggest, immediate difference in my images. It was like night and day. Even my wife, who doesn't understand why hdtv is better than sdtv, was blown away by the quality of the images and the difference that was immediately noticeable. It wasn't like my skills had improved that much when I went to full frame. It was just the gear. Nothing else I've bought has made such a huge difference IMO.

Speedlites, Printers, Accessories / Re: Is there a cheaper way to buy from "REALLY RIGHT STUFF"
« on: August 13, 2012, 10:48:41 AM »
This post is out of control. All the OP wants to know is if he can get the tripod for less than what he found. That's not a crime. I don't care if you're a professional, amateour, hobbyist, rich, poor, you should still be looking for the best deal. No one wants to feel like they spent more money than they have too. The OP didn't ask our advice on what tripod to purchase or if his financial situation and income justify the purchase. He's just looking to save a buck. Let's all take a deep breathe and answer the man's question.
