Surprisingly KR's opinions resonates with me... but then again Canon's not #2 in SLR sales.

EOS Bodies / Re: CANON 1Dx - New presentation & video -
« on: March 27, 2012, 12:35:45 PM »
VERY interesting what she says in the first video beginning at the 4:10 mark.
Essentially that "one of the biggest differences between the 5dmIII and the 1dX is that the shutter is rated at 400,000 cycles vs. 150,000 for the 5dmIII.
Really? That's one of the biggest differences for a camera that costs over $3,000 more?
hmm.
Shutters are really expensive. Hence the obsession with shutter actuation. ;-)

***The Manila Jockey Club was founded in 1867 by the Spanish Governor-General to conduct horse races in the country. The Club started out with 100 exclusive members known as “socio fundadores,” members of affluent families in the country who still dominate the Filipino market today: Ayala, Zobel, Prieto, Tuason, and Elizalde, among others. These sportsmen conducted recreational races for the enjoyment of the social elite. During the American government in 1903, betting was introduced. By 1912, the San Lazaro racetrack and grandstand were built in Sta. Cruz, Manila on a 16 hectare property. MJC was formally incorporated as a business entity in 1937. In the 1950s, the Club was publicly listed with the Manila Stock Exchange. Additionally, thirty five off-track betting stations were set up and racing was broadcasted on TV. Through the leadership of Atty. Alfonso Reyno Jr, a group of investors acquired the controlling interest of MJC from the Prieto family in 1995. By 2003, a world class racing facility was constructed by MJC on a 77 hectare property in Carmona, Cavite.

Horse racing is an equestrian sport that has a long history. Archaeological records indicate that horse racing occurred in ancient Babylon, Syria, and Egypt. Both chariot and mounted horse racing were events in the ancient Greek Olympics by 648 BC. In the Roman Empire, chariot and mounted horse racing were major industries. Thoroughbred racing was popular with the aristocrats and royalty of British society, earning it the title "Sport of Kings."

Sports / A day at San Lazaro Race Track
« on: March 20, 2012, 12:54:11 PM »
These photos were taken at San Lazaro Racetrack in Carmona, Cavite, Philippines.
I had the opportunity to shoot in areas of the race track few outsiders get to see and fewer photographers have access too.

Where did the product mock up come from?
I hope it has AF. MF prime is one thing but a MF zoom is another.
