Lenses / Re: Which 50mm (with AF) is best from f/1.4 - f/2.0?

« on: January 28, 2013, 10:50:01 PM »

The 50L needs to be used wide open, at f 2.0 - 2.8 the extra cost is for the bokeh.  Also focus shift can be an issues at those f stops. 

The 50L  is awesome, but damn you pay for that little extra.  Stopped down the 50/1.4 is 95%+ of the 50L.  I have no experience wit the sigma 50.

Are the lenses on that platform display removable?  Can you mount them to a camera or are they locked down to the display?

Canon General / Re: Canon Canada Opens ‘Image Square,’ the Canon Experience Centre in Calgary, Alberta

It's odd that the first store would be in Canada, let alone Calgary.  It's like opening Apple Canada's first store in Regina —an odd fit.

All the photos except the bokeh photo are taken with the 50L.  A little bias?  But after owning the 1.8 Mrk 1, 1.4, and the 1.2L, I know the bias for the 1.2.

The only people who bash the 1.2L are the people who can't afford it.

EOS Bodies - For Video / Re: Inside the Canon EOS-1D C

As for Canon ripping 1dx/1dc users off: A dslr is a computer, the firmware is the software, and it absolutely common to deliver the same software with features unlockable for a price (i.e. 4k on the 1dc) even if the hardware (i.e. your computer) is the same. You cannot demand "I want Photoshop Elements for the price of Photoshop Extended" just because your computer can run it...

Yes, price out some of the basic and full featured CAD software packages.  Huge price increase for the full versions.

Maybe someone from a certain rental place will buy one and open it up for us to see.

Gonna be hard to sell this next to the C100...

The C100 doesn't shoot 4K video, The 1D C does.  That's really the selling point of the 1D C.  4K may not be big yet, but it's coming for sure.

When will 4K be that usable?  With most end users streaming content, will 4k ever be the de facto format?

I like that interesting lens on the EOS 3D......

That 40L lens image has been used on many rumour images, so don't hold your breath.

1D size? Bleh. 

Put it in a 5D body and I'll cry rivers of joy.
Put it in a weather sealed rebel body, and i'll trade my soul for it.

That sounds like Homer's soul donut deal, be careful.

Come on. She is clearly holding a sub $3000, 50mp, 14 stops Canon 4D.

Sorry, but you're completely wrong. She's clearly holding a bottle, pouring beer on herself for us to photograph, trying with some new no-one-no-longer-cares-about Canon camera while her shirt gets wet and beer runs down her body.
(What I find most disturbing is that the guy with the fancy hair seems to prefer table tennis.)
