EOS Bodies / Re: The Next Rebel? [CR1]

I agree though, if this super-entry-level, whatever it ends up being, has 6fps,  the 70D better have something worthwhile to be deemed 2-notches better.

It will probably have 9 cross types, where does that leave the 6D

If it is much smaller than a Rebel then how will you hold it?

As well as an M I guess!

Sounds like they are on a much better track with something like that and they do need to develop EVF don't they.

UK intro price £3175
A new production line sensor will be a gravy train for Canon

The 6D has £160 cash back not 100 

http://www.mathersoflancashire.co.uk/prodDetail.html?intProductID=2579&intCategoryID=5

Still not as good as DRev for the 6D but the 5D3 price is, only £36 diff. I wouldn't have an issue paying that.

Edit: Actually the 6D deal includes a bag and 16Gb card, depending on what bag/card may be equal to DRev

EOS Bodies - For Video / Re: Capturing Stills from 4K Video with the EOS-1D C

Fantastic, no RAW and heavy price but it's a logical progression. would love to have this on my holidays 

Interesting comments about human 'micro' expressions, honesty and love,  could equally capture the opposite and be a very dangerous thing. Does a wedding become just one big lie detector test? In those examples does he really love her?

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: The last roll of Kodachrome – what would you shoot with the last 36 frames?

« on: March 03, 2013, 06:08:23 PM »

I think you couldn't do this roll less justice than to pre-shoot all pictures of it digitally.

+1 That's exactly how I felt, but much more politely put than this old Kodachrome user would have managed

You guy's are lucky, this sort of stuff is just outright banned at my local football ground

8.With the exception of authorised Media representatives holding accreditation issued by the club/event organiser, the taking of photographs or filming by any means inside the Ground is prohibited. In addition, no transmission or reproduction, in whole or in part, in any form, or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording or otherwise is permitted save with a special authorisation in writing by the club/event organiser and, where appropriate, the prior consent of The Scottish Football Association, the Scottish Premier League, the Scottish Football League or appropriate body.

Then again they also have what might just possibly be the daftest rule ever for a football stadium

10.Unnecessary noise such as from the use of radio sets and behaviour likely to cause confusion, annoyance or nuisance of any kind, is not permitted in any part of the Ground.

Why bother with DigitalRev when ProCamerashop is cheaper and based in the U.K?

Good shout. I like DRev but on the shopping list I'm looking at I would be saving £153 going PCS. I've been watching DRev prices for some time now and yes they are a lot cheaper than UK shops but they are going up.

I've not bought from ProCamerashop anyone have any experience?

wow twice the price and I have to focus heck it’s only curved glass   

Thanks all for the input, I just really liked the idea of having a 40mm (equivalent) on aps-c I have no idea and cannot comment on the complexities of a 25mm lens design for a 44mm flange, ah well my dreams are shattered    ……..
