EOS Bodies / Re: Canon 1DX VS 5D MKIII Cameras

But is it beating it's wings 43 times every second to maintain air speed velocity? And is it carrying a coconut? Regardless, I think it looks more like a robin. A brave Robin running bravely away.
Ok, I'll stop before someone turns me into a newt, or farts in my general direction.
Oh, sure, just take all the punchlines! The nerve!

I had the same problem with my 5D2. In June, I took it in to get the sensor cleaned and Canon cleaned the focusing screen, too -- I didn't even mention it to them.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: How to take more than one photo on self timer with 5D Mk III?
« on: August 20, 2012, 11:54:04 PM »Sad news is…you can't…
Somehow Canon decided to remove that "feature" in their new cameras…
Don't ask me why…it's a good feature, Nikon has it…canon took it out..
I guess they consider it a "consumer" feature, so they don't put it in the "pro" (1D, 5D, etc.) bodies.

I'd exchange it, if possible. If it's been too long (more than 30 days, depending on the retailer), then I'd send it to Canon for service.

Check out ebay. Lots of folks buy the 9000 MK II and a Canon body, get the printer for FREE after a rebate, and then try to sell the printer (they never wanted it in the first place). The problem is that so many folks try to do it, there's too much supply, so they can be had for about $150 -- still sealed in the box (just with the UPC code removed).

Yes. 
I got mine about 10 days ago and it had 1.1.3.

Lenses / Re: Center Pinch Lens Caps
« on: August 03, 2012, 12:43:59 PM »I was wondering if anyone has tried these ebay cheapie lens caps? They are low cost with free shipping, so I don't expect a whole lot. If one breaks, I'd just toss it. I was thinking of buying a few of each size I yse.
These could be much easier to remove when a hood is on the lens. I liked the Nikon ones when I had my D800.

I actually bought some just like that a few years back on ebay (I chose a place in Boston IIRC -- spent a few more $$ so that I wouldn't have to have them shipped from HK). The paint on the "Canon" name wears off quite easily, so now I just get generic ones, like this:

Lenses / Re: *UPDATE* Canon EF 135 f/1.8L IS
« on: August 02, 2012, 12:47:27 AM »It is 100% fake.
The photoshopper never focused on the current font printed on the front ring of the lens. It is Frutiger series, not Arial-like.
More importantly, Canon is no longer putting the lens info around the outside of the lens. Check out their most recent EF lenses.

Definitely looks like a 'shopped 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro.
They moved the "Canon badge" into the area where the tripod ring goes (note the badge is much wider than it needs to be, as if the word "Macro" had been removed) and then moved the distance scale (it's not from the 100 macro, though) to where the badge had been. They also shortened the area between the focus ring and the red ring.

Pricewatch Deals / Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark III Price Drop in Canada
« on: August 01, 2012, 08:38:28 AM »
Price drop, eh?
I wonder if it's a temporary thing, like we had here in the states the previous 2 or 3 weeks.

very nice djl...great shot
Thanks. Just got the Mark III yesterday and took it out for the first time this evening.
Odd, though, that I could never get that close to a heron or egret with the Mark II -- must be the camera!
