I guess we can expect to see usual rebate-offsetting price increases at B&H later today...

Don't worry about those animals - if the 'scopes are made by Nikon, they will all be out of calibration and aim to the left.

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Nikon D800 Value Dropping?
« on: April 12, 2013, 06:10:54 PM »
I wouldn't touch a used one with a 10-foot pole... the reason the prices are so low is that everyone else has figured that out, too.
Most of them are being sold because of the persistent AF-alignment problems.

« on: April 04, 2013, 03:25:11 PM »
Go out and take pictures - it's the only test that actually matters.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Finally a DXOMark win for Canon
« on: April 04, 2013, 03:22:15 PM »At a per megapixel level the Canon 5D Mark III sensor is sharper than the D800 and with the lens line up Canon sensor manages to get the best out of the lenses compared to the Nikon!
Finally some good news

No surprise to anyone who's actually used both systems...

EOS Bodies / Re: Question re: real world experience with 5D MkIII AF
« on: April 03, 2013, 10:40:16 AM »I have both and find that will grab the 5D M3 most of the time.
Same here... except I've now sold my 1D Mark IV.

Canon General / Re: 24-70Mk2 fell off my 5DMk3 and smashed
« on: March 30, 2013, 10:50:34 AM »@dylan777 Why would I make this up?
You're embarrassed that you dropped your lens... that's understandable, it's happened to a lot of us. The part that's hard to understand is why you're trying to blame someone else for your mistake?

EOS Bodies / Re: What is missing from the 7DII specs
« on: March 28, 2013, 01:01:03 PM »
You left out "facts" as an option - that's the one I would have picked.

"Viewfinder LCD Higher Resolution Than 7D"
That and the 19-point AF give this away as being purely fictional...

Lenses / Re: New 100-400 to Launch with EOS 7D Mark II [CR2]
« on: March 27, 2013, 10:13:22 AM »If it's as sharp as the 70-300L, awesome.
I hope they don't downgrade the performance that much - it would be a deal-breaker for me.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Overly Hot Hotspots On 5Dmk3
« on: March 25, 2013, 06:11:42 PM »
The 5D Mark III has MUCH more highlight headroom and MUCH cleaner shadows than the 5D Mark II. I've extensivly compared both and carefully studied both of these aspects for a review website.
Your camera is deffective or you are mistaken. You also might have the camera set up wrong such as auto lighting optimizer set incorrectly.
I agree... if your dynamic range is worse than the 5D Mark II, something's definitely wrong with either your camera or your processing.

EOS Bodies / Re: Congratulations Canon to another great Camera release!!
« on: March 21, 2013, 09:45:27 AM »you could buy a 7D . . .
I've heard those things take decent photos occasionally . . .
I think you're barking up the wrong tree. Judging by the comments above, most of the people posting on this thread don't take photos... I would be surprised if any of them even own a camera.

Canon General / Re: Lens Rebates Extended & 5D Mark II $400 Instant Rebate
« on: September 30, 2012, 10:24:03 AM »I'm a bit confused; Is the 5D2 after rebate 1299$ or 1799$?
It's 1799 with the rebate.
Same price it's been everywhere for the past month or so...

EOS Bodies / Re: Shutter count request to Canon.
« on: September 29, 2012, 03:01:40 PM »Ps. I think $1.59 is pretty reasonable to satisfy idle curiosity.
It's a bit steep to pay for a fictional shutter count, though...
