Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Nikon D600 announced - $2100, let's see how Canon response!!!

« on: September 13, 2012, 11:46:49 AM »

Does a cameras age really matter? Sure the 7d is 3-4 years old but I got cameras that are 10-20 times older that still take a good picture. But for me a canon 7d and a canon 5d2 is an awesome combo and I'm gonna trade up to those! And now theres a new iPhone to be preordered tomorrow!!!

Wow, $2,100 and Nikon doesn't even give you a full metal body?  I hope Canon isn't so cheap with the magnesium alloy.  You can get the 7D for $1200 and the body is a tank.  Hopefully the 6D will be the same.

7D, built like a tank, but rebel-like IQ.  Even 650D is better. 

+1 pretty sure 7d is a way different camera than 650d!

No need.  Sensor is same with 550D unless you dispute it.

Yes, the 7D, 60D, T2i/550D, and T3i/600D use the same sensor.  The 650D adds on-sensor phase detect AF.  You're saying the 650D has better IQ than the 550D/600D/7D...and if you're making that claim, you need to back it up, because from the testing that I've seen, there's no meaningful difference in IQ.

Canon General / Canon USA shop direct and canon loyalty program help

« on: September 12, 2012, 09:36:50 AM »

Does anyone know if you pay taxes and shipping from canon shop direct? I live in Minnesota. Another question is how do I qualify for canon loyalty program or take advantage of it? Ive never really used the canon USA site much and I'm pretty lost on the page. Thank you!

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 5d2 with 24-105 kit up 100$ since last week what does that mean?

« on: September 11, 2012, 09:13:09 AM »

So the rebate is 200 off the 2999 msrp? Bah that's lame but whatever I guess it's an ok deal still.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / 5d2 with 24-105 kit up 100$ since last week what does that mean?

« on: September 10, 2012, 08:47:45 PM »

I've been on the fence about buying a 5d2 kit and watching the prices but I just checked tonight and it's up 100 dollars matching my local vendors and last week everyone online had it for 2699. Does this mean something new might show up or stock is dwindling down and so price goes up? It's starting to not seem like a good deal to me anymore.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Too good to be true?

« on: September 08, 2012, 12:50:29 AM »

Hey everyone, came across this ad on craigslist tonight and thought is this too good to be true?
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/pho/3232109329.html
I have a very good condition canon 50d with a grip and this guy is open to trading for one according to his ad. Provided its not a scam and the camera works would it be dumb to pass on this trade?

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Anyone buy a new 5D3 on eBay?

« on: September 06, 2012, 12:09:38 PM »

Well thanks for the input. I don't see beach camera having any deals currently. And I'm waiting for a craigslist deal to happen and if it goes as planned I will buy the 5d3 on eBay and see what happens. I don't think it will bother me to have a new 5d3 that used to be a kit so long as the camera is actually new.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Anyone buy a new 5D3 on eBay?

« on: September 06, 2012, 10:39:56 AM »

I was looking for 5D3's at google shopping and found
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=150890960084&index=1&nav=SEARCH&nid=44815022475
It states it's a kit that had the lens removed, so is this a good deal and will I still have a warranty? eBay always makes me somewhat nervous but 400 bucks less is a good deal. So please anyone who has bought a new camera from eBay and maybe even from this store tell me is it safe?

EOS Bodies / Re: Announcements Before Photokina

« on: September 05, 2012, 12:03:07 PM »

We should be getting leaks in two or three days, as more and more people become aware of the details.  It is true that new lens announcements are kept quiter than announcements for bodies, just not as many leaks.

I want the leaks now! I'm so on the fence about a 5d3 or 5d2! Give me something new canon please!

400 f/5.6 L IS II
...

7D mark II
3D

yes i'm an optimistic guy

I'd be more than satisfied with that selection!

I think one thing people are forgetting is that for a year after a body is released, its price is very high...like, 50% higher than they sell for right now. Do you really believe the new 7D is going to be worth $17-1800+ for the body when the current one can be had for $1100?

so you prefer not to have any new stuff... i see.   

i have 2000 euro waiting for a new backup FF body.
no way i buy another 5D MK2 and the 5D MK3 is to expensiv for a backup body.

So you too wanted something better than the 5D2 but cheaper than a 5D3?
