5D MK III Sample Images / Re: 5d MK3 Shows horizontal and vertical lines!

If Canon rejects repair request, and if you paid by credit card, depending on the card, the card could cover repairs. There will be an admin paperwork hill to climb, though

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Why no low ISO DSLRs?

« on: March 30, 2012, 03:51:07 PM »

In my film days I used to shoot Kodachrome 25 or 64, and low ISO Kodacolor, mostly landscapes. I liked the fine detail.

The threads always talk about high ISO and low noise, but, what about low ISO and no noise? I, and, probably others, are willing to use a tripod and shoot at low ISO.

But, then, my understanding of digital vs film is just beginning. I use a G11 and a 60D

Lenses / Walk around lens suggestion

« on: March 25, 2012, 02:07:52 PM »

Have a 60d. Looking for hands-on recommendation for a walk around lens.

Ideally, it would be 14-200, a little more or a little less, wide to ?zoom. Double ideally, it would be 2.8, but I think I would asking too much. Thx

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Why don't DSLRs go low ? ASA 25 equivalent

« on: March 05, 2012, 05:56:45 PM »

In the film world, it was my understanding that ASA related to grain and light capture ability. For ASA 25, for example, grain was almost non-existent, but you needed a lot of light and/or long exposures. While ASA 400 was used by news togs because it was fast and allowed them to shoot with a smaller fstop.

My beginning understanding is that grain is to film as noise is to digital. So, if I could shoot using a low ASA, I could minimize grain(noise) before post production began.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Why don't DSLRs go low ? ASA 25 equivalent

« on: March 05, 2012, 05:00:26 PM »

I'm getting ready to move from film to DSLR. I've always enjoyed shooting ASA 25, ASA 64 film/slides, but, I'm not finding low ASA equivalents in the DSLR world.

It seems all the talk/reviews is about high ISO and noise performance.

What am I not getting?

I shoot mostly on tripods
