Lenses / Re: What's the best deal you've ever gotten on a lens? I'll start...
« on: December 19, 2011, 03:49:36 PM »
I got the 100-400L for $950 still about 200 dollars cheaper then the cheapest used Ive come across it.
Lens had never been used and even came with original purchase receipt a few months before I bought..
I got my 24-105L in 9.5 condition for $825 which was a pretty good buy though im sure I could come close to that these days be a kit lens with the Mark II.
Both off of Craigslist...
Another seller has a MP-E 65 for $725 im highly considering

Also both (7D and 60D) are now available through the CLP at a 20% discount on the refurbs...
You can pick up a refurb 60D for around $640 or a 7D for around $1090 which are both excellent deals

Lenses / Re: New Photographer. Need suggestions :)

+1 for a real flash like a 430 or 580ex to rent and possible a diffuser.. Lens aside its going to be the most important thing in a dimmly lit room.
If its a indoor reception your going to have to shoot at least 1600-3200 and wide open
Spend a couple of hours watching youtube and get a sense how to use, bouncing it off ceilings, through a softbox, etc..
Dont forget extra batteries with a couple hundred shots the voltage in the battery will take forever to recycle the capacitor

United States / Re: Is 1D Mark IV boring or almost perfect?
« on: December 12, 2011, 02:39:37 PM »
For me the Mark IV would be a dream camera... I think its the best worlds for the photography I enjoy (Action and some low light stuff).. and IMO its the best camera Canon camera you can buy until the 1DX is released.
For me photography is strickly a hobby and therefore the Mark II and 7D are more in my budget

EOS Bodies / Re: Hoping for a Entry level FF
« on: December 12, 2011, 10:34:39 AM »
Been looking to upgrade my body for the last 6 months about the same time I discovered this site... Have done a lot of reading through the forums without a lot of posting.
Computer Engineer by day, amatuer photograher by night
Im been debating the 60D, 7D, and Mark II for a few months but have a tough time deciding what I love shooting most and is primary why I havent pulled the trigger yet. Part of me would love the 7D for wildlife (100-400 is my favorite lens.) but at the same time would love the Mark II because most of my pictures are portraits of my son/family and landscapes..
I even thought of getting a ebay 5D classic and a 7D which would be similar in price to Mark II.
If money wasnt an issue Id get the 1D Mark IV but since its just a hobby I can justify it to the old lady. So im hoping for a 7DII with a ISO performance comparable to todays Mark II. A new entry FF though might also be ideal!!
So for now my trusty XSI will be increasing its shutter count

Canon General / Re: New APS-C Camera in February?
« on: November 08, 2011, 12:30:57 PM »over the T2i, the T3i had wireless flash triggering, articulated LCD screen, creative filters, manual audio control and digital zoom while filming.
other than Digic V what's going to be the draw for consumers to pick the T4i over the T3i? Built-in GPS? D7000-style AF during video? Touchscreen?
Agreed. I think the wireless flash triggering available in the newer XXD/XXXD line is sometimes completely over looked IMO. Its such a huge benefit to use the body as a master when you have a limited number of flashes.
I dont really need video so I am holding on to my 450D a little longer until a new 5D or maybe a rumored 6D comes out but I really hope they make that standard in all lines.

@ mreco99. Sounds like your going to have a great Saturday. Thats exciting even if your looking at a 9K+ or so day
It sounds like you have a purpose for these and planned it out well.
I have a similar lens collection to the ones you plan on buying minus the 17-40 and the 70-200 II (Got the old one non-IS) and the
I shoot a lot of my wife and son a lot and my most valuable piece is my 580exII.
I was going to get a 17-40 or 16-35 next but since I dont do much wide-angle I may just get another 580.
Good luck and enjoy..
