EOS Bodies / Re: A Big Megapixel Discussion
« on: June 18, 2013, 09:01:04 AM »
The camera has only 60 megapixels.

Customers want the best image quality and high megapixel images for big worldwide campaigns (big prints for walls, facades and billboards).

What the customer get ins only what the customer want.

No DSLR is a medium format camera killer = No DSLR can beat the image quality of a medium format camera until now. On the other side the DSLR is much faster, weather sealed, good in low light and able to use fast shutter speeds.

There is no one-for-all-camera. Every camera has it´s pros and cons.

No DSLR is a medium format camera killer. I like the images from the H5D-60. If you are in the fashion and fine arts business this camera is the one and only.

But the new big megapixel camera(s) from Canon are really good.

I don´t have such a strap (maybe a fake or new) and no type label on my camera.

I expect the EOS 7D Mark II (and or 70D) announcement in August/September 2013 and the EOS 3D (2D) announcement in October 2013.

Different prototypes are tested over a long time. The big question is: Can Canon produce the cameras quickly and without quality problems.

But Nikon is not sleeping. I expect the big megapixel D4X announcement as well in October 2013.

Hint: I don´t know what Canon put on the market, but the 46.1 MP, 5 frame per second, Dual DIGIC 5+,
ISO 50-12800, 1DX AF, 2 CF Card slots works really good.

Hint: Better wait what is coming in 2013 or the first half of 2014.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 5D Mk III with 50mm f/1.8 II - bad images?
« on: June 15, 2013, 07:18:10 AM »
Don´t put cheap lenses on expensive cameras. An expensive camera is worthless if you put cheap lenses on it.

But that is not the only problem. Why do you need an expensive camera for such images?

For a good image you need:

1. A good photographer with all the skills.
2. A vision.
3. The best light you can get.
4. A good camera with good lenses.

You need some more skills (light setups, using a flash, composition, etc.)

Software & Accessories / Re: Cheap tripod
« on: June 14, 2013, 06:03:45 AM »
The cheapest tripod I can recommend is the Manfrotto 055PROB. But you need a tripod head like the MA410 too.

If you buy cheaper, then you buy twice.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 1DS MKII black lines problem.
« on: June 13, 2013, 08:54:42 AM »
It´s the sensor. I know the problem.

Buy a used 1Ds Mark III instead.

I have canceled my CPS platinum membership because Canon Europe can´t or don´t want help me in some situations. I don´t see any advantage in such a membership.

All prototypes with the big megapixel sensors are in big bodys.

I like to see one in an big body and one in an body bigger than the 5D body, but smaller than the 1D body.

Today I send a big mail to the Canon development center with wishes and tests results.

I think that the S4 Zoom is a game changer and the end of the entry level compact cameras.

For time-lapse photography I can highly recommend Lightroom with the gwegner plugins for video output.

Reviews / Re: Can we have a 16-35 2.8L II review next please?
« on: June 12, 2013, 01:37:44 AM »
In my opinion we need a fast replacement for the 17-40L and 16-35 II L with an image quality like the 24-70 II L.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Worth getting an SD card for 5D3?
« on: June 12, 2013, 01:35:14 AM »
Forget SD-cards in a 5D Mark III. Canon put an old SD-card-controller in the camera.

Please put a 2 CF-card-slot in the 5D Mark IV. We don´t need sd-card for professional use.

RE to: AND IT NEEDS TO BE CHEAPER THAN THE 1DX OTHERWISE WE MAY AS WELL USE MEDIUM FORMAT DIGITAL

That make sense, because medium format cameras as my H5D-60 are much cheaper than the 1D X and everyone can afford such a camera. (big grin)

How much megapixels do you really need? Do you make printouts for big walls or big campaigns?

No DSLR can beat the image quality of a medium (mid) format camera. But the new professional big megapixel cameras from Canon and Nikon (not on the market yet) are very good.

Lenses / Re: 24-70 II slight clicking sound when zooming
« on: June 10, 2013, 05:36:37 AM »
Funny things are going on.

A few days ago I test two lenses in a store, because a friend want buy the lens.

1 lens: ugly sound if I change the focal lenght
2 lens: different visible distorsion at 24 mm with the same settings

Both errors are well known errors from the first days of the lens. It´s a shame that Canon have the same big problems with the mass production after one year.

Conclusion:
If I look at many Canon products introduced in the last years I notice, that Canon have huge problems with the product quality and to produce new innovative cameras and lenses that are worth the money you pay for it.
