EOS Bodies - For Stills / Renting 6D or 5D mark iii plus lenses?

« on: December 06, 2012, 01:06:55 PM »

So i've only had one dslr in my life which was the nikon d3100.  Which was back when I was 16 years old. I'm 18 now and just shoot around with my old canon canonet film camera.  What I wanted to ask is which camera do you guys recommend ? I'm going to rent either one on borrowlenses.com i'll be shooting photos in santa cruz california with my girlfriend.  I wanted to know if the canon 6D af is alright. Plus which walk around lenses do you recommend?  I was thinking of the 24-70 mark 1 or 24-105 or even the 135 f.2
I love how the canon 6D has built in wifi so my girlfriend can post the pictures we take on instagram.  I have one but i'm not too big about it since I mostly shoot around with my film camera and go to the local walgreens to process my pictures.
Plus should I insure the camera body?
I take very good care of my camera gear.  But maybe I should insure the lens?
I need advice from pros,am's and enthusiasts please

You really need to get out more, you are kind of creepy.

Can anyone explain to me what 16 bit means?  Other than that, the specs look good

What the heck is an AFMA? Is that like a configuration feature on the camera so the camera gets the lens comfortable with the new sensor?
Help out a newb please?

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS M Specs

« on: July 23, 2012, 03:57:13 AM »

Anybody going to get one to try out?  It's fairly cheap, $799.

Ordered!

I have a Canon T4i.  This is a perfect second camera, especially for video.

I am in the process of paring my 14+ Canon lenses down to 5 or 6. 

I am going to go with the 22 2.0, 40 2.8, and 85 1.8 for primes.  (From: 24 2.8, 45 TS-E, 50 1.8, 85 1.2, 90 TS-E, Contax 28 mm)

For zooms, I am going with the 18-135 STM for video, along with the 24-70 2.8 II (for absolute highest quality on zoom, I use that lens 80% of teh time), and the 70-200 4.0  (sold the 70-200 2.8 II because it is so heavy.)

I am very happy with the T4i. It has basically the same image that my $8,000 Canon 1DsII had in 2004.

Yes, the Exmor has a bit more DR at lower ISO's.  But if you are posting in sRGB mode you are never going to see it. Even with prints you are compressing the DR beyond what the Canon captures, much less the Sony.

I am perfectly happy with the Canon sensors.  I have been a pro photog for 30+ years, retired now so downsizing to prosumer level.

Great tools we have today! Now we just need a few video firmware tweaks this fall, either from Canon, or Magic Lantern.

Have fun!
Michael

I really don't understand why anyone in the right mind would pay $800 for a crappy camera like this or why on earth you would even buy the T4i.  Very Pro of you. *sarcasm*

Does anyone else think this camera is so damn ugly? Seriously i wonder what they were thinking. The nikon mirror less cameras look better than this.

Site Information / Re: Optical Technician ?

Lots of information Love It ! I didn't expect a job to put lenses and cameras together was a low wage job/trade school.  I'm inspired to go into optic physics.  A Doctorate's degree sounds like the challenge i need not a trade school certificate/AA or BA.  I found a program at Arizona State and learning more to transfer. Again Thank you for everything !

Does anyone have advice for me?  It's hard for me to find any information about working for Leica Cameras or Canon Cameras.  I'm a Freshman in college going through my General Education, i was pretty much wondering what degree do i need to be able to make camera lenses or even cameras for these brands?  Any Advice is welcome Thank you !

EOS Bodies - For Stills / CANON 1D C V.S CANON 1D X

« on: May 07, 2012, 01:23:57 PM »

What do you guys think?
Is the Canon 1D C able to shoot the same photos as the 1D X or is it just for Hollywood & Indie Film Makers?

EOS Bodies / CANON 1D C?

« on: May 07, 2012, 01:19:27 PM »

Anyone know if this camera can take great stills?
I know of the 4K res, but you think that's the only thing great about it?
Should i just buy this instead of the canon 1D X
I'm more interested in photography but making movies & shooting videos would be an interest.

Thank you !

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon 650D - sensor size?

« on: May 03, 2012, 01:23:05 PM »

I think canon might compete with nikon on megapixels.

Think about it?  Most consumers think more pixels is the most important thing anyways.
