EOS Bodies / Re: Canon 5D MarkIII & 1Dx - 1080p/60fps???

Part of the "extra" processing power goes to reduce moire and rolling shutter but the other reasons are definitely a possibility

You might want to take a look at the asus Eee pad transformer prime (preferably with the keyboard dock) you get full usb functionality, the correct (debatable) aspect ratio for viewing multimedia content and an 18h battery life with the keyboard dock

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: D800 high ISO noise samples
« on: February 24, 2012, 08:51:51 AM »if those high ISO samples are true , then D800 is the clear winner. it performs same as D700 with 3X resolution.. even at ISO 25600 can be used with noise reduction and re sampling.. i dont think 5DX will compete against D800.
People are going to do the same test as D700 Vs 5DII by re sampling to match .. i dont think 5DX will stand...for 3500$ definitely not worth buying 5DX compared to D800. wht you guys think?.
The camera isn't even announced yet, no rumors or specs about high ISO noise and you already say it can't compete

Lenses / Re: The price 300mm 2.8 IS--is just greed--maybe?

I can't afford a BMW therefore it is overpriced and I will not buy them untill they are the same price as a hyunday (as it should be)
I won't repeat what has been said (mtspokane has nicely explained why this lense is so expensive) but canon does need to make a profit with these lenses, they are not there to give you free stuff

PowerShot Cameras / Re: Canon Announces the PowerShot S100
« on: October 14, 2011, 03:02:47 PM »I went through the manual briefly and noticed that the number of pictures on a single charge is only 200
my last p/s dates back to 2004 so I don't know if this number is normal or not but it does seem a bit low
what is the average number of shots for a normal or high end p/s
for those who owned the s90/95 what did you get out of it on a single charge?
The S95 is also rated for 200 shots. The S100 uses a battery with a slightly larger capacity, so presumably it does use a bit more power to get those 200 shots.
yes, in the mean time I checked the online manual for the s95 but my real question is for those who have used this camera, what is your "actual" number of shots from a single charge, has it ever been a limmiting factor (that would require a spare battery)

From what I undestood, the law is specificaly aimed at cellphone cameras in order to prevent someone from taking pictures of minors in, lets say gym changing room, pool etc, while pretending to be talking on the phone
it has no, and never will, effect on dslr or point and shoot cameras as ppl know it's a camera and wont allow you to take it out in a changing room

EOS Bodies / Re: Am I the only person who isn't interested in a 5d mkIII?
« on: September 28, 2011, 11:16:30 AM »I think there are a few different camps of people:
1) Those who could care less - probably the largest group of all
2) Those who are interested in the 7D Mark II and the 5D Mark III not because they plan on buying those, but because they are hoping to scoop up their predecessors on the cheap. Nothing like a new release to drop the price of the slightly older model.
3) Those on the bleeding edge who frequently turn over their equipment. I can't afford to be in this group, but understand the necessity very well for those who make their living off this gear. While to many folks, the difference is negligible, if the new features save you time getting the image or getting a better one, the result is either a better image, saved time or generally both.
you forgot a group, those who can afford neither but can't wait to see what new tech canon has put in them to copare them to whatever the competition proposes (and most probably complain about stuff)

« on: September 22, 2011, 07:48:24 PM »
The whole small sensor with interchangeable lens thing makes no sense to me
first the Q with a sensor barely bigger than a PS camera now Nikon?
with a sensor this small it practicaly negates the major advantage of interchangeable lens (shallow DOF) you might as well put a fixed 24-120 equivalent like the S100 and be done with it

United States / Re: Why a shutter curtain?
« on: September 08, 2011, 04:11:45 PM »hmmm interesting question. If it's true then I guess that kinda makes the shutter the equivalent of the human appendix LOL. I hope someone here knows the answer to this one.
dont know about the shutter curtains but the appendix still has a role in the immune system of children

EOS Bodies / Re: Why don't Canon update their bodies?
« on: September 06, 2011, 05:22:16 PM »"Large companies" usually have no problems with earthquakes, giant flood waves and nuclear powerplants blowing up.
And the schedule for new releases is much tighter than most people think.
But when the production facilities of these "Large companies" do not have power because of the blackouts, they simply hire a bunch of poeple to power bicycle powered generators to keep it running 100%
oh and when the facilities get damaged or flooded, ruining thousands of dollars worth of production robots, these company just conjure up a new building and equipment in another country
