Canon General / Best Lightroom 4 Book ?

« on: January 23, 2013, 12:45:05 PM »

Hi Everyone,
I'm thinking of purchasing a book on Lightroom 4. Can anyone recommend a book? If so, why?
I'm contemplating one by Scott Kelby, Martin Evening or the official Adobe classroom in a book.

Looking for a book that will guide me from beginner to advanced, lots of pictures, easy to follow, and discusses integration with Photoshop.

thx

EOS Bodies / EOS 6D launch and effect on 5D MkII & MKIII

« on: November 23, 2012, 08:53:34 AM »

With the 6D due to be launched in the coming weeks what does everyone think will happen to the 5D MK II? Will it disappear? Quickly, or be phased out gradually? Possibly a reduction in price for the MK II so that it is not too close to the 6D price and competing with it?

The 5D MKIII has been gradually dropping in price but must be about to reach a limit so that it doesn't compete with the 6D? Presumably this limit will need to hold for a good 6 months to allow the 6D to capitalise on profits from initial sales? i.e., no further price drops on the 5D MKIII for a while...

Is there a market that can support all 3 cameras? !

I recently spoke to a sales person at a camera event who suggested that there may be a market for all three cameras and that Canon had no plans to cease production of the 5D MKII. But at a relatively close price point to the 6D this surely cannot be good for sales of either camera?

United Kingdom & Ireland / Canon 5D MkIII UK Price Drop

« on: November 21, 2012, 08:26:16 AM »

Nice to see the 5D Mk III is starting to drop in price in the UK. Now down to about £2,340 today.

Perhaps this is something to do with the imminent 6D launch? A good salesperson might be able to convince a buyer of a 6D to stretch a bit extra to a 5D mkIII if the price difference is not as extreme as previously...
