Do we know if the HDMI out recording will result in sharper images after grading?

Yes...except BIF guy's wife would be the one running with the gimbal, while BIF-guy manipulates the joystick from a lawn-chair.

What is the EOS SL1? Is this the EOS-b (mini Rebel) you reported earlier?

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS Rebel T5i Leaks
« on: March 19, 2013, 04:21:03 PM »
A new kit lens to sell with the camera kit doesn't equal a new camera; it's a modified camera kit. There has to be something different for Canon to justify the T5i branding.
Personally, I think for the target audience, the T4i is probably more than enough camera. Maybe Canon should have just skipped a cycle and offered the camera at a discount to keep it competitive.

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS 100D Detailed Specs Appear
« on: March 18, 2013, 08:17:15 AM »There are a lot of rumored names for the new small EOS bodys.
A guy from Canon told me today, that the name "EOS B" is possible.
It sound realistic to me, because the small EOS bodys are a new product line. But we will see at the 22th.
But I want a camera between the 5D Mark III and 1D X, a new EF 80-400 IS L, a 12-24 2.8 L oder a 16-35 2.8 III, a 7D Mark II with CF card slot to replace the TC´s, a better build EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS and a lot more. And the EF 17-40 L from 2003 needs a replacement too.
What do you do that you need 3 wide angle zooms with mostly overlapping focal lengths?

Speed not a concern... strangest thing to ask for on such a lens. I would live with f8! After all these are used for deep focus photography and on tripods or in studio. T/S is about increasing depth of field.
Tilt is about changing the focal plane. Sometimes this is used to increase the depth of field on the subject. Sometimes it's not.... and that's only half the function of the lens. Shift doesn't increase your dof.

Why not make the 45mm ts-e faster? If you can make a 90mm ts-e f/2.8 you can make a 45mm ts-e f/2 or 1.8

« on: March 15, 2013, 09:24:32 AM »I really like the perspective of a normal lens...
I believe that perspective is only affected by moving the camera, not by changing lenses.
"Many will say that focal length also determines the perspective of an image, but strictly speaking, perspective only changes with one's location relative to their subject."
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/camera-lenses.htm
"In other words, switching from a "normal" lens to one with a greater focal length at the same camera location will have no discernible effect on perspective."

Yes, but a lens that is roughly equivalent to the diagonal of the sensor will yield images that look normal because it's similar to the way we see the world with our own eyes. For full frame this is close to 50mm. The lens isn't wide angle or tele.... I used perspective instead of field of view because we tend to fill the frame with our subjects. On wide angle this means we get closer than normal and with tele's we get farther away than normal.

I really like the perspective of a normal lens and have been toying with the idea of getting a 45mm ts-e for some creative uses. However, the lens is still expensive and pretty soft. It softer than the 24-70 version 1, way softer than the 50 1.8 even at f/2.8. I'm hoping they make it as good or better than the 50 1.4 at 2.8 and beyond.

I think the 70D will be a lot like the 7D in performance in a slightly smaller 60D body. The 7D2 should be a little 1DX with a crop sensor.
This Rebel appears to be more of an incremental upgrade than I've yet seen in the Rebel series. I wonder if they'll add wifi or gps. I think a good portion of buyers of these cameras are the Best Buy soccer mom types who don't use them to 25% of their true ability.
Marketing instant facebook pics may be a better sale than iso 25600. I could be wrong.

EOS Bodies / Re: A New DSLR Line from Canon? [CR1]
« on: March 12, 2013, 09:15:24 AM »
EVF with mirror doesn't make sense unless they are copying Sony. They'll have to move the sensor farther back to reduce thickness and I'm not sure if they can do that.
CR says there are ways it can be done. I would have been nice to link to some earlier stories on patents or something.

This falls in line with the earlier prediction by Nippon Camera Magazine
http://www.canonwatch.com/nippon-camera-magazine-predicts-next-canon-announcements-70d-t5i-eos-me-7d2-3d/
Essentially translates into:
Canon EOS 70D in March
Canon EOS Kiss X7i (Rebel T5i/EOS 700D) in June
Canon EOS Me (next mirrorless camera) in July
Canon EOS 7D Mark II in September
Canon EOS 3D (the mighty big megapixel DSLR) in October

Considering the quality of the high end lenses Canon has been putting out lately, I'd say go for it. I'm sure they can think of a way to make it wider and sharper.
