EOS Bodies / Re: Is This the EOS 3D?
« on: June 18, 2013, 01:21:53 PM »
This post is not worthy to be on this forum.
It is obviously not a test camera.
CR should be able to piece that together easily!

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Why do my photos appear bright first and then dark later?
« on: June 10, 2013, 12:17:08 PM »What you're seeing first is a jpeg preview, then when the RAW loads, it is displayed. RAW files are mean to be processed, hence the lower contrast and saturation.
Because of this.
Because of that.
This here is the reason.
There's your problem.
And there's your sign.
Now you know.

I missed out on a potential great shot but was too tight.
I want the 200-400

Lenses / Re: Is the 16-35 L II worth its price?
« on: June 06, 2013, 11:12:58 PM »I've never really been impressed with my 16-35 II, and rarely use it. It's not bad, but it's not good either. I ended up falling back on my 24-70 I most of the time, and now that I have the 24-70 II (sold ver. I), I just don't see the value of the 16-35 II. To make up for the loss of a slightly wider angle, I sometimes just stitch photos together from my 24-70 II for a wider pano look.
Me too exactly.

Canon General / Re: EOS 5D Mark III w/24-70 f/4L IS Kit Coming Soon
« on: June 06, 2013, 09:55:51 AM »It seems everybody agrees this is a useless
Lens and a waste of effort for Canon. For the same money, I'd get the 24-105.
Now, if the old 24-105 were to be discontinued, I hope they make a 24-105
F2.8L. I don't care how heavy or bulky it would have to be.
I own the 24-70 F2.8L II and As my only Lens, I can't find a better replacement.
I just wish I had the additional 35mm sometimes.
You forgot to add IS.
Many years ago Tamron did it, IS excluded. Total lemon.
Anyway, with good optical performances, that would be a really "do-it-all" lens. 24-90 would be already a good step in that direction, but I don't know how convenient for Canon would be to make such a lens, unless it is extremely expensive. Sorry for the OT...
Lets not compare lemons with oranges. It is irrelevant what Tamron did.

Canon General / Re: EOS 5D Mark III w/24-70 f/4L IS Kit Coming Soon
« on: June 06, 2013, 12:17:40 AM »I love my 24-105L, it's a great walk around lens, and gives me a lot of flexibility. I'd really hate to be stuck at 70mm on the long side, especially since I bought a 6D. I haven't used the 24-70, but can't imagine the image upgrade would be enough to make me want to give up 70-105 coverage and have to lug around a second lens.
Agree agree agree

« on: June 05, 2013, 04:14:39 PM »I still don't get the point of the 24-70 f4 lens. ... do they want to force users to a smaller focal length range so that users spend even more money to add a 70-200 version to make up for it?
Actually, I think you get the point of the 24-70mm f/4L IS lens (in conjunction with discontinuing the 24-105L) just perfectly...
Sic!

Reviews / Re: Horrible experience with Adorama camera
« on: June 05, 2013, 06:33:12 AM »
I have mostly had excellent experience at Adorama. Sometimes they get a bit rude, but overall they are great. (I do not remember her name). But Mike Fisher is a nice salesman. Helen is helpful.
I am not sure if I think Adorama was at fault this time: Most establishments cannot accept money without address.

EOS Bodies - For Video / Re: DSLR Video Questions.
« on: June 03, 2013, 10:53:39 AM »Thank you so so much.My questions:
1. Do I need another monitor besides the LCD on the camera to check focus etc?
Not 100% necessary, but useful. The more you focus pull the more necessary one will be.
You can view at upto 10x for the initial focus. Eyepiece LCD viewfinders such as Zacuto are available as well
2. Which is the best slider for price for DSLR?
sorry not my area - try Planet5D or similar websites
3. Which is the best way to record audio? Do I record on camera or external recorder and sync using a slate? I have a BeachTek DXA-SLR available for free. Is it any good?
External recorder - you can sync then using a slate or software such as pluraleyze. can't comment on the Beachtek
4. Should I use Magic Lantern software or original Canon RAW? If magic lantern, then which version?
Canopn does not record RAW Video. Regardless of whether you record RAW or not the Magic Lantern is recommended for the 5D3 (not available for the 1DX) for focus peaking etc.
5. What is the ideal ISO for video? And if not ideal, what is the acceptable range for noise free work.
ISO160 or multiples thereof if required
6. Is 1/50 the only shutter speed to work at or it does not matter?
You can set the Framerate in the camera - so depending on your output you would set the shutter speed at double that.
7. Will my Imac be ok for the edit? I will not buy an Imac now until it is refreshed, but just want to prepare myself on the speed of edit.
Can't answer that - but I suspect it would be a little slow for RAW Video editing
Further - one Card ?? You will need several - or a stack of them if recording RAW Video....
ANY help is appreciated sincerely.
Thank you!
This takes me to few other questions:
Which monitor should I buy which can stick on top of camera?
Which version of Magic Lantern? (I believe the latest is in testing)
I do not understand "set the frame rate in camera"
Yes, I need multiple cards. If I was working 12 hour days and recording 5-6 hours of RAW video, how many 32 GB cards does that translate into?
THANK YOU.
