how about the AF system? same as slow as 5D 2?


Articulated LCD   : Fixed
Touch screen   : Yes


SUCKS!!!!!!!!
who gives a damn about touch screen?


another waste of time waiting on a FF with an articulated screen... perhaps canon will build one after 10 years...
arrrrgh!!!!!!!

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: For those whose paid full price on 5d III, how do you feel about the price drop?

« on: September 16, 2012, 06:42:18 PM »

its simple!

IT DOESN'T SELL the way as 5D 2 used to sell like crazy, and within the 6D nearby the block, canon has no choice to drop the price.

5D 3 is a camera that draws attention. However the price is still high and overated.
- For professionals who want to make an investment for their work the price doesn't matter.
- For photography lovers it does matter because after 4 years they will see their beloved money spent on something that comes with the mark III tag instad of a brand mark IV at the same or maybe above the cost of 5D III of 2012.

if canon cares about profit, and has a pulse on worlds economic crisis should drop the prices in order to get more sales... if not, more people will buy D800 and D600 and especially new photographers that got dazzled from Nikon prices and specs.

i wonder what's canon's strategy here?
aiming at old customers who want just to upgrade and forgetting new customers as well?

would be awesome if it has
- AFMA
- pc sync port

and lets hope that the articulated screen is not a rumor

Touch screen is useless. Its an slr camera, not a touch phone for christ sake!

well get the 24-70 for sure

and then go for 70-200 2.8 IS II if you can afford the cash.
if not, buy the 135mm for portraits on 5D

glad to see you've got the 17-40, an ultra wide angle lens is a must for ceremonies.

16-35 f/4 would be nice instead of 17-40 f/4
16-40 f/4 even better

and a 12-24 which nobody has except sigma, is a MUST for wide angle photography.

and of course a 14-24 2.8

Lenses / Re: 200mm 2.8L II

« on: September 10, 2012, 05:21:00 PM »

its a bit weird lens.
its very sharp all the way from f/4.

it suffers a bit from spherochromatism / astigmatism at 2.8 especially in the bokeh

was not quite happy with it for portrait usage.

also:
The lack of image stabilizer
The old design
The fact that in an aps-c sensor 200mm goes up to 320mm (in some cases like shooting birds is an advantage)
and i the fact that i prefer zoom lens for telephoto
are my negatives.

The 70-200 f/4L IS is the best zoom you can buy for a fair price!

But if your range from the subject is specific and you don't need anything less than 200mm (320mm in aps-c) then this 200mm f2.8L is your lens in a very very logical price.

My friend sells one not even used for 10 times at 600 euros price!

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS 6D Announcement Soon? [CR1]

« on: September 07, 2012, 08:17:27 PM »

i'd vote for an articulated screen insted of touchscreen which is completly useless!!!!


a better sensor would be nice, but i doubt this new camera will have a better sensor than 5D 3.
a newer AF system is needed though from 5D 2

However reading the specs, this camera has completly no cost in developing something new.

- sensor taken from 5D 3 (best case scenario)
- AF taken from 7D
- touchscreen from 650D (and i really hope its a vari angle too, a vari angle screen in an FF camera is something i'd pay for instantly, doesn't matter the build quality)

canon re-sells parts which already sold and sell.
easy profit for canon, and i suppose it will come after nikons D600 probably seen in photokina this month!!

thanks for replying
i suppose 24-70 was stuck to f/2.8 as far as i can tell from the shallow depth of field.

really nice work, well done again !

EOS Bodies / Re: Announcements Before Photokina

« on: September 05, 2012, 10:34:01 AM »

thats dissapointing, i was hoping for an 70D or a cheap FF replacement of 5D 2, since 5D III is overrated for me.

anyway i think they wont release anything before nikon does
if nikon releases a cheap FF d600, canon will reply (somewhere in the present)

however, canon hasn't replied with a 36megapixel class camera such as nikons d800

nikon has the lead in tech no doubt
canon just follows

damn, i miss the time canon released the 5D mark 2 where nikon lost her sleep.

damn marketing tricks

Never understood announcing a new product which is going to be on the market after one year
now the 24-70 II
same thing happened with 1DX

When nikon announced the new D800, you could pre order it from the next day

canon sucks on that part...

« on: August 31, 2012, 08:12:27 PM »

Canon should have a look on how many photographers holding canon full frame cameras with a nikon 14-24 sticked into it.

however i'd love to see a 12-24 like sigmas, only sharper!

i'd die for this, i'd kill for this, i'd go streight to hell for this
