It's not like the R7's are expensive?

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 5D iii: Getting what looks like a red light leak on long ex night shots
« on: November 16, 2012, 02:50:10 AM »
400 seconds. It's amp glow. There's so little of it and no hot pxels that it shows just how good that new 5D3 sensor is.
400 seconds, that's a lot, if you need to do exposures that long most will stack the image.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Q: A dedicated Still Image DSLR without video? Thoughts?
« on: November 16, 2012, 02:46:48 AM »There would be no benefit to such a camera, whereas there are tremendous benefits to having a camera with video capability. One of the first ones, of course, is live view. That is, by far, the biggest innovation since the digital age began. Extremely useful capability, and once you have that, video is absolutely free.
You of course, understand cameras can have Live view without video? The 1Ds3 and 40D as an example.

ISO1600 is nasty. Colour noise everywhere. It should be harder to spot in a smaller image.

Software & Accessories / Re: Lightroom 4.3 & Camera Raw 7.3 Release Candidates Available

A heads up on this guys.
It doesn't update the exe file but creates a new install, 4.3 so ensure your antivirus creates an exception otherwise it'll slow lightroom down.
Biggest way to increase the speed of lightroom is to exclude the exe files from antivirus scanning.

One character of the lens is the starburst effect it achieves when light goes direct into it. Very characteristic of this lens. Hands down better than the previous and worth every penny.

Well, I think Canon really has been far even as didn't decide not to use even go want not to do look still more like about the new sensor.
Look Scoobs, a clue!

If it is 9k then they are probably just protecting the 5D rather than competing with the D800
Imagine if they released a 50mp camera for less money than the 5D3....it would screw Canon's marketing for sure.
If they do release a high MP body then it has to be damn amazing because if it isn't I'd rather spend 9k on a D800E and a few lenses and have both brands onboard.

Usable ISO 1600 is one reason.

On my i7 960 with SSD's and 24gb Ram it is fine.
My technique though is to load the raw files, then build 1:1 previews. This takes time but the develop module is then twice as quick.
The biggest determining factor in lightroom speed is the CPU, then Ram. The hard drives, be they Sata 1, 2 or 3 have little of no bearing. The bottleneck is with the CPU.
Load your task manager and watch those cores jump up and down trying to crunch the files and you'll see what I mean.
I'm building a new rig to speed things up further (a 3930k cpu based system) but in a year or two I may go balls out with a dual Xeon setup.

1D X Sample Images / Re: 1D X - 1 Thing you would Add or CHANGE? either physically or Firmware
« on: October 01, 2012, 04:09:05 AM »
I am actually thinking of dropping the 1DX in favour of 2 x 5D3's because of the lack of silent shutter.

The 1DX does have better low light AF. Just turn the flash IR assist off.
The only thing that I would change is a true silent shutter like the 5D3.
£5000 camera, no proper silent shutter, truly WTF.
