6 hours have been and gone, the suspense of wondering what the OP decided on is killing me!

Lenses / Re: What lenses do you own?
« on: October 11, 2012, 05:39:52 PM »
Let's see... I got my first SLR in 1999, had a point and shoot Canon for a couple of years before that. Recently got a full frame DSLR. The vast majority of my photography is done when hiking, so light-ish zooms are a big boon for me.
17-40 (landscapes, or for visiting old cities like York with really tight narrow streets)
24-105 (general purpose walkaround lens - my most used lens)
100-400 (compact for great reach - if I'm in an area that I know has interesting wildlife, this will be on the camera body)
The above 3, and camera body, fit into my Lowepro Street and Field Rover AW backpack leaving me space for food, drink, waterproofs and some accessories (filters, etc).
I also have a ef100 macro, that is really sharp and also gets used a lot for portraits.
Tips? Take photos and enjoy life!

EOS Bodies / Re: AF Focus Point on 5D Mark II...

Make sure they're all in the same plane of focus? ie All the same distance from the lens. All camera body based settings will be irrelevant to getting an expanded plane of focus. At f2.8 there will be a relatively small area in focus, and this area will diminish zoomed out (at 200 mm compare to 70mm). You may have to use a smaller aperture if you want more than one person in focus, unless you direct them to be the same distance from the lens.

EOS Bodies / Re: Mirrorless Camera & New Full Frame Coming Second Half 2012? [CR2]
« on: March 25, 2012, 06:23:36 PM »There's no such thing as an "entry level" full-frame camera...makes zero sense marketing/business wise. The Cine-DSLR will obviously be full-frame. I can see a market for a 1DsMkIII-esque studio replacement in terms of a 3D/4D high MP monster but not suggesting that is coming, however much more market for that than cannibalizing the investment Canon has made in the 60D, 7D (7D II) etc. with a $2,400 full frame camera...UNLESS it shot only stills which would make no sense really given phones are shooting 1080P video now. The 5D3 is the "entry-level" full-frame camera if you want to use that term; and the 1Dx is the flagship full-frame camera, certainly room in between them for a studio, high MP body. There will not be a 5DX, that was a creation of this site I think, not seen anything from Canon on a "5DX", the Cine-4K DSLR is not going to be in the 5D line, it is meant for an entirely different market, the market it was announced at, Hollywood, with the C-300. There will not be a <$3000 full frame camera from Canon this year, period...if ever.
I have JUST bought a digital camera... the 5D3. The only reason I've got it now was because I've just come into a bit of money. I could've afforded a digital SLR previously, but not a full frame model and did not want an APS sensor camera. Personally speaking, I would've joined the digital bandwagon years ago if there had been a decent full frame SLR at an affordable (for me) price. Shooting stills only makes perfect sense - this would be a camera aimed at photographers. Talking about what an iphone can/can't do is irrelevant. Didn't I read recently about a 40+MP phone camera? How many photographers are going to be dumping their kit in order to use the camera attached to a phone?

EOS Bodies / Re: 5DIII pre-order thread
« on: March 18, 2012, 03:04:34 PM »Didn't pre-order, walked into Jessops (Leeds, UK) this afternoon and bought the kit with the 24-105 lens. Am happy, but poor.
While I'm jealous, in two weeks I'll have my own and be £800 better off. Which kind of alleviates it.
Normally, I'd have waited a few months until the price was (more) reasonable, but I've just received a legacy that means I can afford one silly purchase, and this was it. Of course, I'd have been £3700 better off if I hadn't bought the camera kit at all! I've been holding off from going digital until I could afford a full frame camera, the release (of the 5dmkiii) has coincided with getting the legacy, so sod it - my luxury purchase.
Drama 79 - Yes?
