EOS Bodies / Re: Is This the EOS 3D?
« on: June 17, 2013, 03:07:41 PM »
I recall a similar thread a few years back. Went nowhere.

If a camera is in development or testing, they aren't going to slap a strap on it that broadcasts the model number.

It's a slow day at Rumor Central. Can't blame CR Guy for throwing a little chum into the waters to see if he can stir up some page views. But, no reason to swallow this one. Move along. Nothing to see here.

On the other hand – anybody recognize the other camera in his hand.

Thanks Officer Clancy, I will move along. ;D

Site Information / Re: banning people for nothing at canon rumors

I work as a mod on another site and we have an option to soft delete posts.  It is up to the site owner to decide how much of a forum program is used. 

There are normally steps to be taken before a member is suspended/banned, again the owner decides how that works and how it is implemented.  It is kept private for obvious reasons I hope.

To the OP I suggest treading lightly on this subject.

EOS Bodies / Re: A Big Megapixel Discussion

I'm satisfied with 22mp. Large enough to print big, Small enough to save some space.

Unfortunately the market place is in the driver's seat here and this camera is most likely geared for the landscape crowd.

You will have a nice 22MP camera or maybe slightly more when the 5DIV comes out.

Practiced BIF again this afternoon. From advice I've received here, my capture/keeper rate is getter better. 7D, 70-200L f/2.8ii @ 125mm, 1/1250sec, f/5.6, handheld.
Wow!  Like night and day from just a few weeks back!  Great job Serendipity!  These images stand out!  Now to find this bird a nice lake background!  Keep up the great work and congratulations! :)

Bump your shutter speed to 1/2000 or 1/2500 and you should get even more keepers.

Thanks. I'll give it a try when the light is good. I don't like going over ISO 800 on my 7D.

I have used 1600 and even 3200 on mine.  Very usable shots.  Just make sure you ETTR.

EOS-M / Re: Can't shoot the world at 4.5-5.6....
« on: June 06, 2013, 11:29:30 AM »
You can't really shoot the world at 4.5-5.6... Maybe during the day.
 :o

It is aimed at landscape photographers.  IS helps with getting additional light especially if it is 4 stops on a light kit.

Boy those lens number sure show Canon is in serious trouble. ::)

Looks more like Nikon is having troubles to me based on those figures.

4 samples up now that don't look too bad. 

I agree I like the lighting design.  Hope it works well.

Very interesting.

I suspect they made an error in their add.  It would be nice for them to at least say we blew it and apologize for getting you all excited for nothing.

Congrats and definitely post up some of the wonderful shots this lens produces.

70-300L to replace my 70-300 non-L for birding would be the my reasonable covet.  Then one of the 300mm or 400mm primes or 100-400l II.
