I guess naming anything Canon 3D without actual 3D pictures would be very confusing.

Couldn't help but pick up one as a second body. Here in Canada they are now $1,699. I see the US price is around $1,899.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / 5D battery overvoltage

« on: August 03, 2012, 06:05:10 PM »

Since the 1 series cameras have their battery voltage at 11.1 and the 5 series at 7.2, has anyone been crazy enough to say rewire a 5D grip to alter the batteries in series and overvolt the camera for faster framerates?

Lenses / Lens AF Calibration Question

« on: March 26, 2012, 05:28:59 PM »

Normally when I buy a lens I test for AF focus myself and not surprizingly, I find that in all cases the AF is off at least a bit and sometimes quite a bit more (as in the case of a recent purchase of a 100 L macro). Normally I dont use MF adjustment and send it in to Canon for free calibration - thinking that the lens is at fault not the body. In all cases it comes back with near perfect focus on my 5d Mark II body - so I know at least my current body is not the problem. I know some of you may suggest sending lens and body in for calibration, but I would have thought that might not be the best idea in case Canon just uses the MF adjustment instead of adjusting the lens itself. In that case a second body purchase could introduce AF problems again.
