Never sent my gear in (even though i'm seing some focus problems on my 24-70 so might think about it). But I did call Canon USA Tech Support once and kid you not that is the best technical Support rep I have ever talked to. I might send my lens in soon, since I signed up for CPS and I get a 20% repair discount and faster shipping

Canon General / Re: Canon EXPO 2010 Starts Tomorrow!

So the Expo was pretty cool. I found out that the 500mm and 600mm lenses are definitely getting updated. They are being in the works at the moment. The 300mm and 400mm will come out in December. So this was probably known but I got this info from a Canon rep, so it must be true.

Although no ISO sensitivity is stated, we can make some assumptions and get an idea of where it may be.  They say that it will shoot in 1/100th the light of the 5DII.  If we take that as ISO 6400, the highest standard setting on the 5DII, then 1/100th would be about 6.5 stops faster or somewhere above 409,600.

6400
12,800 (1-stop)
25,600 (2-stops)
51,200 (3-stops)
102,400 (4-stops)
204,800 (5-stops)
409,600 (6-stops)
(this sensor)
819,200 (7-stops)

Hm, let me make a guess... Should that be 640,000 maybe? (6400 * 100) 

It doesn't work that way. The previous post is correct.

Site Information / Re: CanonRumors locks up browser

Seemed fine to me on Firefox 3.6 and is fine with 4 beta. Maybe you have some greasemonkey scripts installed that lock the site up?

EOS Bodies / Re: What is the most important criteria for buying a new body?

« on: July 22, 2010, 07:23:21 PM »

Just like others I was stuck between the first two, but then I realized most of the prosumer bodies have great IQ, so I went for ISO, since I shoot a lot of concerts so it's almost dark in clubs so I need the ISO. Also just like everyone else, I don't care about megapixels. lol
