I think he's talking about pictures of the body, not pictures taken with the body

EOS Bodies / Re: Comparing 6D with 5D3

« on: September 23, 2012, 09:21:38 AM »

5D3 is no doubt a more capable camera. It seems to me that 6D will give you the best bang of buck for now. The real question is what feature matters most to you. If the extra sensitivity of the center focus point is more important given your shooting conditions, then go with 6D.

I really want to try that out for concerts...

EOS Bodies / Re: What does the "D" in all camera bodies mean?

Nikon is doing the same, only putting the 'D' up front

I wouldn't buy it soley for the lack of a joystick. Love that thing. I tried using my brother in laws t3i, just couldn't do it.

There's still some kind of joystick, in the wheel...

I wish it was, but the 60D is noticeably better specced

It's a 60D body with a ff sensor...

I shot with the 6D on Photokina. I liked it. I like the 5DIII more and the 1Dx even better, but still, I liked it...

"If you don't want your picture taken topless, don't take your top off."

Sage advice...

Unless we get a 28mm pancake, 40mm is about it.  I really don't expect a new one soon.

me neither. I think it's more a gimmick anyhow

The ultimate dismissal: "targeted to women'. Nice.

at Photokina, the EOS M booth was filled with women trying out the EOS M actually

1.  Upgraders tend to stick to the same brand.  This is a fact proven over and over.
2.  Spec sheets only tell a small part of the story.  They don't mention missing features, and don't tell you anything about how well the features actually work.
3. I just ignore reviews of performance based on spec sheets, they are not going to be of any real value.

Generally speaking you are right, but nothing in these cameras is really new, so I think it's not that crazy to compare how the same technology works in current models.

The D600 is basically a D7000, whereas the 6D is a... 600D.

no, it's a 60D with a FF sensor

Should I sell my 1dx??

Very confused: 18mpx for $7000.00
46mpx for HOW MUCH?

Paul

Confused how?  Why did you buy a 1Dx in the first place?  It is neither a studio camera nor landscape camera so why would you consider selling it for a high MP body aimed at studio/landscape?

very good question...

Lenses / Re: missing 200-400 and 100-400 announcements?

« on: September 21, 2012, 08:37:46 PM »

Well, maybe you are right.  Who needs this lens anyway,  maybe i'm the only one who could benefit from this lens....  Stupid canon...

If this is your profession so be it. But Canon is stupid in everything related to 200-400 in the sense that they announced it months er year(s) I mean before it will actually be available. They were not professional enough to say even approximately when it will be available

I don't remember it being officially announced... 

Nothing sells better then hype...  Maybe it is part of their marketing strategy... perhaps not so stupid after all.

Maybe you are correct! Stupid? No But professional? Still NO!
