EOS Bodies - For Stills / What does the future hold for Wildlife photographers ?

« on: September 14, 2012, 01:06:05 PM »

Hello all I have been wondering as of late that everyone seems to be on the full frame band wagon, I see the benefit to them but for wildlife crop is still better, I am wondering is canon going to make a new better crop camera to replace the 7D and 1Dmk4 as there seems to be a big hole in the market right now.

It seems odd that that canon does not have a camera that can focus at F8 I was thinking this probably wont last long as they just redesigned there 2x extender I am sure that cost them a bit in R@D and doubt they would do that if they where not going to have a camera that would work with it in the future.

On another note with regard to image processors do they help lower noise in raw files or does that only apply to jpegs when canon says the  DIGIC 5+ has 20% lower noise ect.


Thanks

EOS Bodies - For Stills / ISO levels

« on: August 19, 2012, 07:15:32 PM »

Since getting my 7d I have noticed it has more iso steps them my K5, with the K5 is 100,200,400 and so on but the 7d has far more levels. I have seen a lot of people say don't use the half stops why is this? does using the odd numbers increase noise?

Thanks

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Why do my photos not look sharp pic included....

« on: August 18, 2012, 08:13:28 PM »

HI guys I picked up a 7D and a 400mm 5.6 but I am having trouble getting sharp images. I also have a Pentax K5 and have no problems getting tact sharp with that.

for example here is a bird pic I took today I over exposed it because I was told to with the 7d to fix noise and such.  I croped it a bit to lower the image size.

the settings I used was ISO320, 400mm, f5.6, 1/250 and I was using a tripod.

What should I look for when checking the lens?

EOS Bodies / 7D question

« on: August 06, 2012, 10:53:29 PM »

Hey guys I just picked up a used 7D to go along with my K5 great camera was just wondering is there a way to zoom in on a picture right away on the last picture taken or do you have to always hit the play button then zoom in.

thanks
