If I were you I would shoot JPEG.
Best wishes for your trip.
Where exactly are you going? I travel to Africa often. Inbox me if you need any info on Namibia, SA or Botswana.

Sir if money is of concern, I really recommend you return both and get 6d.

People who are afraid of taking their camera to new places are the ones that are less travelled or those who have had an unfortunate incident.

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Canon may be expensive but...

My heart sinks. Canon may price their next 800 to match this...

320
Concerning the price, I think many of you forget there's a Zeiss 35mm f/2 in front of that tiny thing :)
It's a Zeiss that costs 800-1000 tops!

What I heard though, is that's no Zeiss lens, it's a design collaboration between Zeiss and Sony, Sony made the lens with some Zeiss expertise, or just enough support to justify slapping a Zeiss logo on the thing. If it were actually a Zeiss lens, the RX1 wouldn't be $2800

Noooo.

Canon General / Re: Why did you choose Canon?

Did not know better.

5d2 was in rage and bought it.

First few photos I knew the IQ was great. Then slowly I realized that the focus was not the best

these are just rumors... just check all the rumors from 2012, mostly the same as this: nothing more than speculation... I don't really understand why this is a CR2...

serious rumors will only surface a few days/weeks before releasing the new camera...

my point too!

Technical Support / Re: at what shutter speed you turn IS off?

Another reason to switch it off aside from the potential effect on AF speed/accuracy is that some wildlife reacts to the sound of it.

 ???  Wow!  Really??  So does this mean that if you turn off the IS, you only get one shot when the much louder SLR Actuation scares off the wildlife?

:) Well said!

Never felt this way in the last five years of wildlife photography with IS. I had non lS lenses for 15 years before that and no wildlife got distracted by other sounds in my vehicle (lenses bumping on to metal etc.)

It will, I believe, be for less than the 6D.

Not necessarily, at least not the starting price. Canon's strategy is to use a ridiculously high release price, then wait until all early adopters suckers paid up, then lower the price, wait some again and repeat until the camera body is phased out. And there will be early 7d2 adopters because of the crop factor, €1000 more or less doesn't exactly matter for many people who are able to afford Canon tele primes.

I guess they can also afford the 1DX and wouldn't care about the latest crop cam

$2500ish and $5500ish are still rather different sums of money!

1DX has a LOT less reach than the 7D

1DX is a giant brick

Right

on all

points!

No need to worry too much.
We do not know what Canon will announce in the next two months leave alone what if will announce in the entire year...!!!

I doubt Canon will let Nikon have a high megapixel camera and it not for over two years...!!

Not all will be satisfied at the ISO above 6400. At least not me. Not yet.

Lenses / Re: Advice for shooting pictures of eagles
« on: January 26, 2013, 04:42:53 AM »
You have a good camera so high iso is not an issue. But if I were you I would keep and eagle on on the shutter more than the f stop. 1/1200 at minimum to freeze the flight.
Since the subject will not be so close f4 is fine. Really...

329
Why would that test make someone happy? Shooting nice pictures is what it takes to make me happy, not that some test is confirming me what I probably knew already  ;).

Perkee it ok. He is happy that the lens is good. Let him be.

it´s correct that IS slows down the AF.
so if you don´t need it turn it off.

when i use a shutterspeed of 1/1000s and above i turn it off.
even with my longest lens i don´t need IS with such a fast shutterspeed.

ps: and to the clown above... not everyone here is shooting for years. so if you have nothing of value to say... just say nothing. no need to be a jerk.

Do you know how you reached to the conclusion that IS slows down AF?? I hope I am not being a jerk when I ask this...
