EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Canon EOS 7D Firmware 2.0 Available for Download

Really nice update just loving it, but sadly I use currently SanDisk Extremes so I got only 22 RAW burst but that's more than I really need.

EOS Bodies / Re: Leaked 6D/9D Images?

« on: August 10, 2012, 04:55:48 AM »

Photoshopped from 7D body but 9D looks so fake as possible 9 looks like a sticker or something for me and that 6D looks like more natural for me. But only time will show us what Canon is cooking.

I assuem you are referring to these: http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/os2012/article15239832.ab
Some are clearly marked "Usain Bolt" as photographer

Maybe it's me, but that looks like a Nikon (D4?) with a 14-24 in his hands...

+1, D4 with 14-28mm F2.8G ED

Lenses / Re: Lens Recomendation

How about wide angle lens, I bought 7D with 17-55 F2.8 which fill all my needs from lens for this moment. So what I'm asking is which one should I get for 7D, EF-S 10-22 or EF 16-35 F2.8L II?

I like to use spot metering when taking macro's and want nice dark background.

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Is the future of DSLRs FF only?

« on: July 15, 2012, 08:55:43 AM »

In the future yes, but it just needs to take it place as most used camera type and after that Canon could start taking those entry-level models out of market and re-design those to FF and that just means fully new body and dropping EF-S lenses out of market. After that L-lenses could have some price drops

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Custom Settings - How do you configure your custom settings?

« on: July 02, 2012, 06:04:13 AM »

if you set C3 to high speed multi frame, AI servo, auto iso, etc.(spray & pray mode) then if something suddenly happens ie: seeing a famous person or a wild animal etc, then you can just rotate the dial as far as it goes and you are ready to shoot. 

That's the point of using custom settings and makes your life easier

EOS Bodies / Re: 5D Mark II with my 3 lenses question

« on: July 01, 2012, 06:24:25 PM »

They will be fine to start with. You might want something longer than 200mm, but wait and see.

Then probably 100-400 F4.5-5.6L is way to go

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Custom Settings - How do you configure your custom settings?

« on: July 01, 2012, 03:46:38 PM »

As 7D user I got in C1 film settings, C2 sport/action settings and C3 tripod settings
C1 - Manual mode, ISO D+ 250 and highlight tone priority enabled.
C2 - TV mode (250-2000), RAW, Auto/AF point extended and HBurst.
C3 - Manual mode, mirror lock.

Those are main settings, ofc I have some extra settings which ain't necessary to add this post.
