Canon General / Re: Do you carry around a back up? point&shoot/mirrorless/iphone?
« on: April 25, 2013, 01:24:49 PM »fair enough. I guess you can say im referring to a "secondary" camera. Something to use when you don't feel like hulling around all the gear or when you're not allowed
I had an RX100 which had great image quality for the size but it was largely unusable for me since i have larger hands and couldnt figure out any way to grip it comfortably. I really liked the Fuji X10 minus the slow AF speed and supposedly the new X20 improves a lot on this.

Why would you even consider any of those? Are you trying to get something light because of weight issues? Instead just get another canon body since you already have lenses.
When I'm shooting an event ill have both my cameras on me with different lenses. In addition, ill keep a T2i in the car in case one of the cameras happens to die for whatever reason.

If i recall correctly that feature was added in the 5D3. I feel your pain though, that focus ring is very easy to nudge.

I have a Neewer one for my 6D that i got for 15$ and it works perfectly well. Can set a delay, interval between shots, time it holds down the shutter button for, number of total shots. I've only used it a couple of times but it seems to be accurate and reliable. It can't be turned off or idled so it always uses battery (they are AAAs though which is nice), but for 15$ instead of the 120$ canon one i can live with it.

+1 to what sporgon said, it looks like it was just really good lighting when the picture was taken. Beam of sun through a foggy valley type thing.

What do you mean too heavy? As in the combination of the two is too heavy? or the 24-70 is too heavy to balance well with the 6D.
I use my 6D with a 70-200 2.8 IS all the time and its perfectly usable.
If you're worried about balance then get a battery grip and see how that feels.

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: The Blackmagic Production Camera 4K
« on: April 10, 2013, 04:27:48 PM »Let me just get this straight, so it has the same sensor size as the 5D Mkiii and only costs $500 more at there releases and it shoots 4K raw...Close, with one very important correction: Super 35mm is a film format that is approximately APS-C size.
I was thinking that but then I saw the part about it sharing stuff with the new Leica
The size of the sensor as listed on the BH photo page is 21.12 x 11.88mm which is 16x9.
Equivalent crop is 2.0 vertically, 1.7 horizontally from full frame. So its actually smaller than APS-C

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Just bought a 6D
« on: April 04, 2013, 05:25:27 PM »
I have a 60D and a 6D so in mostly the same situation as you. From my experience, I would say in terms of noise 12800 on the 6D is comparable to 1600/3200 on the 60D except that there is much more usable detail still left after NR unlike the 60D which just becomes a blob. So a comparison for iso800 on the 7D would probably be around 6400 on the 6D.
But outside of comparing the two, i try to stay under 6400 for shots that will be printed (up to 12800 if absolutely needed), under 3200 for larger prints, 25600 for web only images (under 2MP final image size).
Hope this helps!

If your gear is insured, make sure they cover things that happen overseas. If its not insured, insure it.
I'm actually going in may as well but I will be doing quite the opposite and traveling with only 6D, 35, 40, and 17-40 or 24-105. I expect that most of the time ill have the 35 or 40 glued to my camera anyways.
