EOS Bodies / Re: T2i Upgrade Help Needed

« on: June 12, 2013, 06:23:28 PM »

Thanks everyone.  Great feedback.  I have been leaning towards the 6D but one issue I noticed is the lack of built-in flash.  Is the low light capability of the body itself good enough that it would cover me for most situations? 


Also, on the FPS, the 6D for me is still an upgrade from the T2i.  Albeit not the 7D, but still better than what I have currently.

EOS Bodies / T2i Upgrade Help Needed

« on: June 12, 2013, 03:21:01 PM »

I am a current owner of a Canon T2i.  I have enjoyed learning about DSLRs using this camera but I am ready for an upgrade to the camera body.  My budget is not unlimited (as much as I want the 5DM3, I can't afford it right now).  I currently have the following lenses:

Canon EF-S 10-22mm
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
Canon EF 24-105 f/4
Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC

Even though half my lenses are crop lenses, I would consider moving to a full frame as I can still use the EF-S lenses on the side. 

I am usually taking portrait shots of friends and family at various events (bbq, indoor parties, etc.) and landscape shots. 

I have looked at the 6D, the 7D and the 60D quite a bit, but really not sure what to do.  I want something that is solid compared to the T2i for moving objects (people dancing, kids running around, etc.) and performs well in low light environments.  Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Just recently started working with Aperture on my iMac for post-processing.  I really like it but interested in finding some recommendations for free (or cheap) plug-ins.  Any recommendations?

Thanks everyone.  Doesn't seem like any thoughts on the S110?

What are your thoughts on low light capability for the S110?

PowerShot / Best Low Light Pocket Size Camera

« on: February 01, 2013, 01:35:06 PM »

What are thoughts from the group on the Canon S110 in low light conditions?  I had the S95 and found it to not be very good in those conditions. 

Any thoughts on other compact cameras (that can fit comfortably in your pocket) that perform very well in low light?

Lenses / Lens suggestions requested

« on: January 30, 2013, 01:23:29 PM »

I currently have the following lenses and looking for advice on "what's next"...welcome thoughts of the group

Canon EF-S 10-22mm
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
Canon EF 24-105 f/4
Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC

The Tamron lens is an OK lens but I am finding limitations from an image quality perspective.  I typically use the 24-105 as more of my everyday lens now that I have a started to become a stronger photographer. 

So what do folks think I should consider next?  My problem with choosing is that I love taking portrait shots  but landscape is a lot of what I shoot as well. 

So what say you wise ones?

Thanks everyone.  The problem is, I enjoy shooting just about everything; I am not a professional, but enjoy taking the camera out for landscape, nature (still and action wildlife), portrait shots more often than shooting sports.  I also am looking for something that has very strong low light capability which I understand the 6D does.  But I imagine that the new 7D will also be strong as well. 

I guess the ranking for what I photograph would be the following:

1. Portraits
2. Landscapes
3. Wildlife / sports

Sorry for the stupid questions....

EOS Bodies - For Stills / 6D or wait for New 7D?

« on: December 26, 2012, 04:37:53 PM »

Welcome thoughts from the group.  I currently have a T2i and I am really itching for an upgrade.  Trying to decide whether to just go for it w/ the 6D or hold off until the new 7D comes out next year.  Thoughts?
