If you can't afford it, don't buy it. If you really want it, save up for it.

Yay, more doom & gloom from gearheads who don't actually take photos

EOS Bodies / Re: How the iconic post-Sandy 'New York' cover photo shot w/ ID-X
« on: November 11, 2012, 07:46:24 PM »It is a nice picture. But why, when you are spending all that money, would you rent that lens. It does not even have IS, so in a helicopter your shot has to be lucky that you get it at the right moment. True that applies to a lot of photography. But surely he could have taken something else!
Most professional photographers rarely use IS or even turn it on.

Dells are junk. Avoid them at all costs.

EOS Bodies / Re: Big Megapixel Talk [CR2]
« on: October 08, 2012, 04:37:28 PM »I've been using Canon for 12 years. I had film camera, then 20D, 5D, now 5D MK II. Now i am considering to sell my camera and all L-series lenses and switch to Nikon. Never tought it could happen to me! But what Canon is doing recently is just some kind of a joke. 6D is a big dissappoint to me, less mpx than MKII, higher price, no built in flash (I know it's funny but i wanted to use it as a family camera). Canon doesn't have breaktrough developments like in the past, this brand will become follower not leader soon (maybe it is already). The next thing they would announce: "Please customers don't buy Nikon, we will do something worse for much more money somewhen in the future. These rumors about a possibly developments are just trying to slower Nikon sellings. Won't work, Canon!
Never takes long.
Yep. Got to love people who think more megapixels will automatically make them better photographers.

Why does buying Nikon gear require selling Canon gear?
Most gearheads only can afford one system at a time. They spend tens of thousands of dollars on gear only to have their state of the art cameras sitting on their coffee tables. They don't bother taking photos or learn how to shoot in manual. Then they wait eagerly on the Internet for the next uber megapixel camera with 50 extra stops of DR to come out from an opposing brand. Then they sell all their gear again and start all over again.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Canon Announces the Canon EOS 6D DSLR
« on: September 17, 2012, 11:15:12 AM »Either way it's going to sell like hotcakes.
To whom, exactly?
n00bs, students, parents?
Just because somebody buys doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing. A body is only one piece in a whole ecosystem. The GPS and Wifi might be nice to have integrated and you can complain all you want about the specs but it's not really that bad. There's a couple things that would of been nice to have but I'm sure this camera will take some great pictures.
Exactly. Most gearheads bitching and whining about the specs don't know how to take good pictures let alone know how to shoot in manual.
And just like that... boom, there it goes... people complain or criticize about product and someone just has to go to the personal attack with the same typical defensive response... "I think it's good and I'm awesome so anyone who disagrees must be a gearhead and doesn't know how to take a good picture anyway"...
Well it's usually the case. I've run into too many gearheads who own all the latest gear, every single L lens, but when you ask them to shoot in manual and properly expose a photo, they scratch their heads. There's too much negativity on the Internet.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: For those whose paid full price on 5d III, how do you feel about the price drop?
« on: September 17, 2012, 08:58:47 AM »
Price drop or no, it wouldn't have made a difference since I live in NYC and would have had to pay taxes on top of it. Luckily I bought my Mark III from Crutchfield with no taxes and free shipping when it first came out.

Lenses / How much to sell my used 24-70mm L for?
« on: September 16, 2012, 08:19:36 AM »
So I'm saving up for the II and was wondering how much I could get away selling my 24-70mm L I for since they're discontinued. It shows some wear but still works pretty good.

Only Nikon shooters would do this.
