EOS Bodies / Re: Canon is getting owned in sensor technology

« on: April 19, 2012, 12:11:47 PM »

Canon used to always say its because they have higher MP that the test giveout those numbers... Now Nikon has the bigger MP and Canon still loses...

i don´t think they have made it easyer for average joe.

to fully understand the score you have to know what they are testing.

because DXO is based on resized images and noise threshold.
it´s a normalized test.

but then why buy a 36 MP camera if you normalize to a lower resolution?
because you can resample an image?
well yes you can resample to 8MP.... but that is not why i would buy a 36MP camera.

the DXO score is only a true representation if you resample/normalize the RAW image.

don´t get me wrong i think the DXO test IS usefull in some way.. just not in the way most interpret it.

Numbers don't lie

lol.. you are not that naive are you?
statistics lie all day.. it´s a matter how you test.

do you really think the D4 is only marginal better in low light? than i feel truly sorry for you.
but trust me not one experienced photographer, nikon or not, will be fooled by the numbers.


beside that... it´s a SONY sensor.
so if you want to praise a company.. praise the right one.

This seemed to be spot on for the 5D III

Are we there yet? 

Would the existing 7D users sell off your current 7D's after you buy the 5D3, if the AF of 5D3 can match the 7D?

AF points in a cropped frame almost reach the border of the image... On a FF AF points are cramped in the middle... (they are actually the same but the area that is cropped out makes it seem like that)

Canon just released the G1X with a sensor bigger than the micro 4/3, looks awesome!

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Canon took their model names off in an altogether different direction - possibly dropping the 'D' part altogether.

So the new camera would be an EOS 3?  Why does that name seem familiar??

The patent says 55-203... Why do they say its 250mm?

Seems very possible to have a 5D mark III at the same price cost as the older one for stills with the same video functions but 720p 60fps, and a 5D mark III video for 3000-3500...

And where can I find the market share of each canon camera in the canon lineup?? Does this info exist?

Lenses / Re: Your lenses wishlist for 2011.

« on: February 28, 2011, 04:53:13 PM »

On my wish list:

• 24-70L F/2.8 IS
• 50L F/1.2 II

Same here.

almost the same for me but I am thinking the 50mm 1.4 with a new longer lasting design is what i would get... and i am going to get a 24-70mm without the IS for now...

Lenses / Re: Canon EF 200-400 f/4L IS Development Announced

« on: February 07, 2011, 10:38:42 AM »

To me it seems a bit expensive... obviously I have no idea about IQ but...

Canon 100-400 f/4-5.6 $1600 (but at 400 the glass is half the size in area)
Sigma 100-300 f/4 aprox $1200 (as I remember)
Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 aprox $2000 (as I remember)
Sigma 300-800 f/5.6 aprox $7500 (different range i know, but 800 5.6 should have same size glass than 400 4... but its an 800mm)
Canon 70-200 f/2.8 aprox $2200
Canon 300mm f/4 IS  aprox $1300
Canon 400mm f/5.6 aprox $1400

So to me without knowing anything about anything!! I would kina price in the 4-5000 range.

But thats just me... I will not buy this lens as i dont need it.

I would love a 70-200mm 2.8 that goes to a 140-400 5.6 with a 2xTC
