EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 5D3 & 600ex-rt + AF assist beam = slower focus

« on: November 01, 2012, 04:40:59 PM »

I used my 5d3 combo last night it literally focused in an instant without the flash being turned on ( it was off by mistake) in the dark but when I turned the flash on, it was hunting for a few seconds. It is liek the beam isn't strong enough or  the AF light isn't in sync with the lens. It is almost as if the beam goes away before the lens starts to auto focus.

I have the same problem too. I am at clubs and parties taking pics with the 5dIII and it is embarrassing trying to focus for a long time. people are looking at me like  i suck or my camera sucks. My 7d never has this problem with the af assist.

I have been doing good with it. I am a year in. I spent a few Gs on equipment.

I can't find any issues with it on my 5d MkIII. I am coming from using a 7D with  a 17-55.  My only problem is getting used to  f2.8 being like f1.4. Anyway how do you tell an image is soft. Every time I take a pic I  keep zooming in on my LCD.

I just read that  some of them  mess up over time. Is that common for a large percentage of them? Do they have a short lifespan of sharp images due to usage. I will sell it and get a MKII if am  expecting to have soft photos one day during a project.

I just leave the  hood on my  lens with the lens cap on too  except for my 70-200.  It just makes things faster.

What color backdrop should I use? Should I use  a mostly white or mostly black backdrop. I am also dealing with black people mainly.

Who is this camera geared towards? Point and shooters that want to feel like they have a small dsrl?

I just bought a 24-70 L with a 5d mark III. I don't feel like waiting for the other lens especially if it doesn't have IS. I payed 1600 for it new and so far the images look great. I need some human subjects now.

Hell no! I spent 2 weeks looking at all these fake sites in New York. They have  fake scammy reviews  that are 5 stars then a few real 1 star reviews. They all do the same thing. Take your money, call you to try to up-sell you before they ship the item( if they even try to ship it). Then they usually give you a grey market, used, opened, or bootleg item.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / How many people out there are actually going to get the 1DX compared to the 5D3

« on: July 11, 2012, 04:11:45 AM »

I am just wondering how many people out there can afford and are willing to spend 6800 on a camera? I am not asking if they are using it for a certain purpose just how man people actually purchase 1 Series bodies. I considered getting one before but the longer I wait  the more I think that the 5D Mark III might be for me.

So they will make an overpriced V2 and then have plans for a IS version. Why didn't they just make the V2 have IS?

How was the lens soft? Did it not auto-focus correctly or the image was a bit blurry? I have seen quite  a few pics on here from that lens and they looked great.
