EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS 100D Detailed Specs Appear

« on: March 18, 2013, 04:40:53 PM »

SOME EF-S lenses can be used on FF bodies, such as the Sigma 10-20 on a 5D2. It's not an impossible thing, but I doubt Canon is ready for FF compact cameras yet.

As far as I know, Sigma doesn't make EF-S lenses, only canon does. Sure, you'd have problem with heavy vignetting etc on 3rd party lenses made specifically for crop lenses, but they can all be physically used on full frame cameras.

Do you guys know if there are any reviews out there yet? Seems the lens is shipping already, but for the life of me, I can't find ANY info on it, other than the sigma announcement / website.

EOS Bodies / Re: 7D firmware update - wow, could it be?

No doubt, it isn't as simple as my previous post. But particularly unnuanced and poorly argumented remarks like "we don't need stupid upgrades, we need new bodies!", just call for unnuanced replies . He didn't give one clue as to why "we" should need new bodies.

I know countless people who are a little bit addicted to gear, and spend not nearly enough time improving their skills. No matter what gear you have, it's still you that has to take the pictures. Newer / better gear can make things easier, of course.

I myself upgraded from a 450D to a 7D because of the ergonomics and things like the jog dial and wheel to make things a little easier. Does the 7D make me take instantly better pictures? Not that much. I've a long way to go until I reach the limits of my gear. Will I upgrade to another camera before that happens? Probably. Do I need to? Probably not.

I would be WOWing if they actually released a real 7D MKII instead of stupid upgrades! We need better bodies!

We need better photographers!

What is wrong with the 7D? And what is so stupid about upgraded firmware? I, and I think countless others with me, would very much welcome some new features. Could give the 7D some extended life for some users.

Always have the strange feeling that the people who are whining about wanting new camera bodies spend more time complaining than they are actually in the field taking photographs...

I would love to have that 70-300mm lens - especially after seeing the Kenya safari photos posted on Canon Rumors.  But after looking over some of the awesome entries, I think my chances of winning the lottery are better than my chances of winning a prize here.  However, it has been great fun.  Good luck to all who participated!

What he/she said. Awesome pictures everywhere. Congrats to whomever wins!
