JMHO - Since there was no mention of any video features, maybe to keep costs down, this will be a Photo Only Camera??? Good for Landscape and Portrait type work, than it really won't see much video work.

Thoughts?

HDR - High Dynamic Range / Re: Post your HDR images:

« on: August 11, 2012, 10:44:49 PM »

Have been doing alot of car shows and this guy really wanted an HDR Photo of this car for a poster. This is the results......

Comments are welcome, but he did like the results and puts it with his car during shows.

Thanks,
Matthew

Very nice Mat, imagine if the background was less busy. 
I mean if you're going to modify the picture in use of HDR,
go for it and find a clear background or location to make
the car or your next subject stand out.  Great shot, love
the dark silver hint on the blue, very delicious.

Peace!

Ah, good idea. I never thought about it, but now that you say it, I've got another person wanting their Yellowish\orangish Mustang GT done the same why, I'll have to think of a better location and will post when I get it done for comments.   Thanks for the tip!

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS 6D in October? [CR1]

« on: August 10, 2012, 10:28:27 AM »

These comments are ridiculous. It appears everyone wants/expect Canon to produce a camera that is equal to or better than the 5D Mark III but for half the price.

Couldn't care less about the number of autofocus points.
One that works with 100% accuracy, 100% of the time is fine by me.
6fps? Couldn't care less. 2fps and I'm happy.
Video? Huh? Well, whatever.
Weatherproof? If the camera is more weatherproof than I am then there's little point to it. Meaning I'm probably going to "call it a day" before the camera does, so care factor = 0.

All that I care about is the ability of the sensor to capture light and do so with the least amount of noise possible and with the highest accuracy possible. Oh and a top panel LCD

+100    If it focuses accurate and takes photos, I'm good. I don't shoot video, so they could cut that out all together and make a nice functioning photo camera.

Are these shots in HDR? Some of them look like they were? As noted above, I like the first B&W also.

Thanks

I was looking at the Sony Rx100, But I like the Aps-C. Should produce a great quality photo over the 1 inch sensor on the Sony, as I do blow my photos up for printing to Medium poster size prints for the work I do. Great to see Canon releasing the EF adaptor at the same time... They are smart doing that. If the price is right and the IQ is good, I'll get one as a cool little backup.... And I would have wanted Pink too! LOL

Great Review. I like the real world Head to Head stuff, it is more realistic than a bunch of numbers (DxO) that don't mean anything.

Thanks for posting the link.

« on: July 21, 2012, 11:47:15 PM »

I do see one thing I like about the lens that I wish Canon would do to all the lenses...... Did you notice the Lens cap? Has the squeeze grips like Tamron.

Lenses / Re: 40mm Pancake Malfunctioning?

« on: July 21, 2012, 01:22:25 PM »

Brother has a T4i and the 40mm Pancake... Has had no problems at all with it and he is using it a lot. I have used the 40mm on my 60D and it seems to have the focusing issue. I really think it's an issue that Canon will need to resolve in firmware updates. My guess is it's got to do with the STM focus system and compatibility with cameras other than the T4i. That's just a guess..

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon's Mirrorless Entry

« on: June 19, 2012, 06:09:42 PM »

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the G1 X. If the mirrorless camera has the exact same sensor, what would persuade you to buy the mirrorless instead of the G1 X? Stylish design, a better viewfinder and battery? What makes it worth a possible substantial investment in new lenses? I’m a bit lost.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see, as well as hope for better news.

Because the G1X does not have an inter-changable lens. I am guessing the consumer mirrorless would be a G1X with a lens mount for different lenses.

Just my thought.
