EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Canon 5d Mark III Eyepiece cover

« on: August 01, 2012, 06:47:49 PM »

Given that Canon built in viewfinder shutters in the past, why such a crappy solution in such expensive a camera (I can understand for lesser models) is there a practical reason why a built in blind is no longer possible? Just wondering

For that kind of money the NEX-7 would have to be on my list and the Fuji X-Pro 1 but what really matters is what your wife feels comfortable and happy with when she tries them out. They are all capable of great pictures. Why would she not want a FF too or a 650D?
Of course it could also be argued that for this price range if she is so disinterested in researching this herself then a P&S would probably do very nicely!
When I see an ‘I’m buying a camera for my wife’ post I always wonder just who it’s really for?

My advice… It’s not you that needs to make the choice!

Well at least it shows when raw is available (and not available)

Maybe I’m wrong but is this the first time Canon has announced a camera as for ‘video and stills’ not stills with video. Reading too much into it? mmmm I wonder.

EOS Bodies / Re: Would you buy a new full frame camera for $1999 with the 5D Mark III sensor?

« on: July 22, 2012, 01:18:27 PM »

Me Too!!! 

From day 1 of the 5D3 rumours all I’ve really wanted is 9 point cross type AF and a decent FPS rate (for me that would be 5) so a FF version of the 650D, 65D  would be the dogs b…… If it doesn’t happen then I’ll just keep saving for the 5D3 which obviously fits the bill but is way more camera than I’ll ever need, but I like that thought

If not..... This camera has a Canon EF-M mount, not a Leica M mount. It is a new mount designed specifically for a new mirror-less camera called the "EOS M".

I for one am not joking. :-)

I still would like a hi-end FF mirrorless "with everything": very compact fully weathersealed body, excellent sensor, very fast phase-detect AF on the sensor,  and an electrified Leica M-mount which would be both compatible with manual focus M-Mount lenses as well as with new nanocoated AF-lenses build specifically for it.  At the price of say a 5D3, rather than a Leica M9 (which I do not want for a number of reasaons, most importantly that itr is a manual-focus only mechanical rangefinder, and the only thing digital being its sensor).

Canon could give me that ... if they only wanted. But, they do not want. Unfortunately.
On the other hand: I do not want consumer-oriented viewfinderless point and shoots like this EF-M. Even if it has an APS-C sensor and not only a puny G1C 4:3 sensor. If Canon won't serve me

I wont buy their crap. As easy as that. Somebody will eventually build the camera I really want.

simply correct!
