canon has some of the sharpest lenses and very few of them outperform 20 megapixel sensors. I would rather have more dynamic rance, and more sensitivity, but sadly megapixel cravers make development go in the wrong direction. give me 18 megapixel with more dynamic range, and crystal clear 12,800 ISO

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: No Focusing Screens for 5D MIII?

« on: March 08, 2012, 09:35:37 PM »

My 60d has 3 options in the custom functions for selecting what focuys sceen I have installed. And the manual says if i change the focus screen to set the custom functions correctly. Does this mean my 60d has interchangeable focus screen and the 5d MkIII does not?

Haha at the lens on the "T4i" I would assume it is photo shopped with that 200$ old school non IS lens sitting on the end.

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon 30D to 5D Mark III - Too big of a jump? (advice please)

« on: March 07, 2012, 07:30:10 PM »

I went from a canon T1i to a 60d (not a huge jump) and was expecting it to be 2nd nature right away. It didnt take long for me to adjust, but I was actually mad at the way the 60d had no direct button to acess WB or picture style. I guess I'm expected to shoot in raw more often. I assigned the "set" button for picture style and left the "Q" button hovering over WB, and that got me on track, but it still took a week of use before I was not fumbling for where certain buttons used to be. I think no matter what UPGRADE I could make I would be happy! I sold my T1i to a friend and when I pick it up to play with it now "yuck" goes through my thoughts. (not outloud tho :-P)

Canon General / Re: Ebay items from Hong Kong?

« on: March 07, 2012, 07:15:38 PM »

Im sure anything coming from hong-kong is grey market no warranty. Communication with these companies is impossible, untill you leave negative feedback, then all of a sudden they "why no contact for problem fix?" The return shipping would kill you also. Id rather save 100$ by buying a used item off of a local on e-bay. my $.02

Canon General / Re: Restraint of trade?

Canon could just keep their wholesale price high. amazon iwould gobble them up at 20 bucks profit or 200 bucks. Alot of companies restric going below MSRP however. ECHO power equipment in a home depot is the same as in a local small engine shop and the exact same price (unless small engine shop jacks prices) but home cheapo is not allowed to undercut. Im sure you will see canon kits with all sorts of goodies for 1$ more so they are not "free"

EOS Bodies / Re: So, what about the T4i?

« on: March 01, 2012, 12:56:03 PM »

I own a 60d, upgraded from a t1i.  A t3i has the same sensor and high iso performance as far as i can tell. I like the 60d's9 AF points all being cross type. I have noticed a much faster AF esp. in dim light. Even my cheap 50mm 1.8 lens focuses fast now. The 60d has a better build quality, and a touch of weatherproofing, 1/8000 max shutter speed, 5.3 FPS, wich is a noticable amount more than the t3i 3.7 FPS. I wish the 60d still had a magnesium body and micro focus adjustment. Interestingly my sigma 17-70 2.8-4 lens had a slight front focus problem on my T1i, and on the 60d it does not.

What I feel canon should do, and seems to make the most sence, would be to come out with a 7dMk2 (or 8d, call it whatever you want) with a new and improved sensor (a tad more megapixels to keep up with the war, but mostly reduced noise, and maybe  digic 5?) keep the 8FPS shooting, improve the autofocus, yadda yadda. And then trickle that new sensor down to a 70d (made of metal again with micro adjustment!) and then down into a t4I. I feel like canon has turned it's back on the
people in my price range when they came out with the 60d.
