EOS Bodies / Was Canon camera ever...

« on: March 05, 2012, 05:22:26 AM »

Was Canon camera ever available for purchase so soon as announcement at 5d3 is? If not, then is it possible that another body is around the corner?
My devious (and perhaps hopeful) mind is saying that Canon will soon launch a high mp camera to compete with the Nikon's and wants to sell as many 5d3 before that as possible.
Just...

EOS Bodies / Crop on 5d3 to match 7d..

« on: March 03, 2012, 05:23:41 AM »

Am not very familiar with how this works and so am requesting help.
How much will I be able to (in percentage perhaps) crop the 22mp camera to reach the 18mp of 7d?
In other words I am trying to figure out if the reach of 1.6 crop can be reached by cropping the 5d3.
Thx,
And I pre-ordered my 5d3 at Amazon.... yeah...

Lenses / Leica/Canon GLASS

« on: February 19, 2012, 10:13:38 PM »

I keep reading that most Canon lenses are not good enough if Canon makes cameras with higher MP count. It is also mentioned several places that Leica/Zeiss lenses will be able to take advantage of the higher MP sensors.
I am trying to understand what quality of the lens (sharpness/corner sharpness/'resolution' etc) that effects this phenomenon and how can I measure which lens is 'better' in this regard.
Thank you so much for any thoughts.

Lenses / Lens 'resolving power' vs sensors.

« on: February 14, 2012, 09:06:38 AM »

Hello experts.
I keep hearing that current Canon lenses are not 'good enough' for newer/better sensors. I would really appreciate a lesson on how this works.
Thx...

EOS Bodies / IS vs IQ

« on: February 14, 2012, 09:03:58 AM »

I use the following lenses with IS: 300, 600, 70-200, 24-105. The quality of the photos is super even when the IS is on. So am wondering why many believe that IS on a lens reduces picture quality??
Asking because the new 24-70 is without IS and so is my compact Fuji X100.
Thx for any thoughts.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / 1DX Cards

« on: January 22, 2012, 12:19:16 AM »

Help requested..
I will buy the 1DX as soon as I can get hold of one. I want to know which would be the best (speed and capacity) memory card for it? I do wildlife photography and want to reduce buffering time after shooting bursts.
I currently use 5d2 and 7d. Will the cards you advice work on these camera's as well?
Thank you for your time.
