Damn. 
Well now I really do want a 1d4 as a second body.

So no surprise, the 1d4 is cleaner than the 7d.

Canon has said nothing that a 7D mark ii is even on the event list this year. And lets face it, It very well probably isn't. I wouldn't wait for something because of what people 'think' on this site. The rumor doesn't even have credit yet.
Used well, the 7D is a fantastic piece of equipment for the price you pay for it.

Yes, Im very interested in your results with the 7D vs the 1d4 as I see that as the step up (not the 5d3 at all). Also because I have my eye on the 1d4 prices to see if they drop when the 1dx finally appears. I cant afford a 1dx, but maybe, just maybe I could pick up a second body in the form of a 1d4.

Ken Rockwell was mentioned?
I don't see how or why he's criticized so much. He's entitled to his own opinion, just as we are. I've read his reviews, laughed at things which I disagree with and move one. I wouldn't start dis-credit that guy. Why?

+1 for the ef-s 10-22mm
It may not be all that fast, but trust us, its a worthy lens. I adore mine even if its not 'fast'. Its pretty stellar in the optic department too.

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon 7Dmk2 any rumors??

The 7D has been fantastic to me. Its reliable, its fast, its relatively weather sealed (a must for me) and the most important bit, I have been making and continue to make very good shots from it.
If a new model comes out, I hope beyond hope it remains 8 frames per second. Gets dual digic 5 processors and a little more iso capability (clean iso that is), plus not making the cost skyrocket. That would be enough for me and if I haven't upgraded to a 1d mark iv as a second body by then, I'd buy a mark ii 7d.
Im not holding my breath a 7d mark ii will be anytime soon though. I don't need it yet, thats for sure.

EOS Bodies / Re: Will the D1-x really be superior to the new 5DIII?
« on: April 08, 2012, 09:02:28 PM »
I won't be able to afford it, but the 1dx sounds like the bomb for someone like me. I shoot a fair bit of photojournalism, and that thing would likely rock.
Its an entirely different animal than a 5D mark anything.
Now when exactly will it hit the streets? .... ...

I looked at a 60D the other just for the hell of it. It does look and feel a lot cheaper.

Lenses / Re: Prime VS Zooms.
« on: April 06, 2012, 09:34:26 PM »
Im very biased towards primes. I think they create better shots in some situations, for one has to frame the hard way as opposed to crop in with a damn zoom which I see as a hideously bad habit if you program your brain to do it.
Plus of course, primes are faster by a LOT. And I do also love shallower depths of field, and or at least the ability to choose to use a shallow depth of field if the situation calls for one.

Canon 70-300mm f4-5.6L is usm
And its not even my favourite lens. According to lightroom I've taken craploads of photos on it, but a lot have been machine gun fire with fast moving objects.
My favourite is my canon efs 10-22. I have a 7d (and I adore it).

EOS Bodies / Re: The 7DmkII will it be a revolution or an evolution
« on: April 02, 2012, 08:26:44 PM »
My 7d has done me, and is continuing to be extraordinarily well. The only better for me is something like the 1d mark iv which Is currently out of my budget. The 5d things everyone seems to be on about, doesn't get my attention at all!
If a mark ii comes along Im sure if it will be just evolution. Iso may get better, it may get faster and a few more af points with digic 5+ processors (thats obvious). And in which case, I think that would be fantastic.
The one thing I can't see happening is canon dropping such a successful camera. Not a chance in a cold day in hell.

If a 7d mark ii actually appeared, I don't think it will groundbreaking at all. A few tweaks hear and there to up the usable iso's, maybe a couple more af sensors etc. The twin cf card thing too would be good.
They could make it a little better in those regards without it costing heaps more. Because seriously if a mark ii 7d is going to cost heaps heaps more than the one I have, screw that.
The step up from the 7d As I see it is the 1d mark iv. - If your like me with your shooting that is. Im not interested in the 5d mark iii at all! Its just too slow. I may grab a 1d mark iv if the prices drop for a second body.
By the way that 70-300L is a great lens. I'll put +1 for that.
And lastly, the 7d has been doing me so so well. Its just simply pretty great for me.

The 1dx will be sure to be at least the pro's hands taking them to the olympics this year.
And if its only them who've got them, you can be sure you won't be far away from then.
