EOS Bodies / Will the 6D have video AF

« on: November 27, 2012, 01:34:59 PM »

I was wondering if the new EOS 6D that is coming out next month will have video AF much like the Rebel T4i?

The poor handing of video AF is what is stopping me from getting the T4i so I wonder if the 6D will have it - if so I will want to see how that feature works as compared to the Rebel's implentation of it.   Thanks, Tom.

EOS Bodies / What will a mirror less camera offer

« on: June 24, 2012, 01:32:57 AM »

I know nothing about mirror less other than the name implies.

I was wondering what they will offer in terms of picture quality or video quality.

Will they be better than the Rebel T4i or fall in between a point and shoot and a Rebel.  Or do we need the specs first?  I was just wondering what people expect that they may deliver and will a mirror less offer some advantages over the current technology?

EOS Bodies - For Video / t4i - lack of samples

« on: June 22, 2012, 11:38:43 AM »

This camera has been out for a few weeks now and I am still on the fence.  I have found mainly a handful of sample videos, none of the particularly revealing or useful.  I am a Rebel Xsi owner who is impressed already with image quality so my sole criterion is how well the video stacks up.  I am waiting for better videos.  I have a couple lenses which is why I want to stick with Canon, but one is full frame and the other is the EF-S so it is not a large loss if I switch to a different system - I just want a video/still camera that does both well.  I have no upgraded in 4 years so I want to make sure the next purchase will do well for the next 4.  Is there anyone who has used the video and liked the quality of video?  I have yet to see a video with the 40 mmm stm in action.

EOS Bodies - For Video / I want to upgrade from Rebel XSI

« on: March 23, 2012, 02:34:43 PM »

I missed the video boat with my Canon Rebel Xsi purchase in 2008.  I want to shoot video for hobby/family purposes.  I wanted a Mark iii until I saw the price.  I am thinking the Mark ii may suit me once price drops a little after the mark iii is more available.

I have one EF lens and just one other efs lens so I am not worried about the need to buy new lenses if I go full frame. 

What is has come down to is I am not really impressed with the Rebel t3i video as compared to the canon mark ii.  However, I do not know much about the cameras and I know the 4i should be coming out in a matter of weeks.  I am concerned about paying so much for a camera with 4 year old technology when the 4i might have something that is a better value for the price.  I know we do not know the precise specs on the 4i do you think the video quality will compete with the mark ii.   Maybe it is too early but at some point I will be looking to compare the mark ii with the 4i - is it possible to get an opinion on what will be better from what we know at this point or is it still too early?

My own hunch is that some are already saying that the mark iii does not improve the video quality to justify price so my logic says the rebel line is not going to surpass the mark ii - but I guess it may close the gap between the t3i and the mark ii.

I look forward to replacing the xsi with a camera that can do both video and stills.
