EOS Bodies / Re: No 7D Mark II in 2013? [CR2]
« on: May 14, 2013, 03:01:32 PM »Wow based on this topic it seems there are a lot of pent up demand for the new 7D
Indeed, Indeed! I really can't wait...especially if its 24mp and 61pt AF. *DROOL*
One of the things that I really wish to see is the integration of tablets/smartphones and the camera over a wifi link. Use the tablet as a remote shutter release... as an intervalometer... focusing aid.... lots of possibilities.
Set yourself up for bird pictures by placing the camera near a feeder or perch, go far enough away as to not scare birds away, and live-view/click....
Like that idea.

Site Information / Re: Membership Approval Now Required
« on: May 10, 2013, 10:01:29 AM »
I mod on a forum and we were hit recently with tons of spambots and spammers. Admin had not updated the captcha and question. After those two things were done we have had a lot less spam issues. The time taken to review the names before approval will cut back the spammers even more.
Sucks but is necessary. Good job.

Portrait / Re: The official: Portrait Humor Thread....

Okay, so a friend asked me for some examples of "bad portraits"
As I was gathering a few examples... (I know, mine suck as well)..I thought I'd share....
You know... from one "bad" photographer to another...
Peace!
I love the first pic, I think the other two fit this thread.

PowerShot / Re: A New Large Sensor PowerShot Coming [CR1]
« on: May 08, 2013, 05:31:22 PM »I hope they are not referring to the "new sensor" from the SL1.
Most likely one and the same.

« on: May 08, 2013, 05:30:41 PM »Same old 18GB sensor? They are putting this in everything. EOS, M-series, new powershot, smallest SLR, Ti whatever. Same old sensor just with different packaging. not interested
Do you have proof of your claim?

Love the shots and thanks for sharing.
I think the crop, if you did crop, on number two cut off the right end of the bridge where it connected to land making it seem a little awkward.
Ignore the troll.

EOS Bodies / Re: No 7D Mark II in 2013? [CR2]
« on: May 06, 2013, 04:18:36 PM »Newcomer here... former 25 year Nikonite. Do all followers feel that this source is a legit one? I've been following the whole 7DMKII ambiguity since September of 2012. I have now been without a body since January anticipating the arrival...
Is the general belief that there will be no 7DMKII until 2014 and should I just get off the pot and get a 7D until such time?
Advice?
Get a 7D now, maybe a refurbished one from Canon to save a little cash. Sell it when the 7D Mark II comes out.

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Interesting contest from Tamron
« on: May 02, 2013, 02:03:56 PM »If I photograph a group of friends smiling and holding up their index and middle fingers, while sitting behind the cracked windshield of a blue, 1950's T-Bird that they've just washed, does that count for 9 or 10 of the photographs?!?
That might just work.

Canon General / Re: Camera Phone
« on: April 26, 2013, 09:51:22 AM »Samsung have tried this and not sure how many they have sold but general feedback I have seen is its more a Galaxy than a camera, so as always depends where you want your compromises :
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxycamera/
main issue for me would be my phone is so small it goes everywhere and if I NEED a camera the one in my iphone is "good enough"
I would like the camera in it to be better but would not like it to increase the size of my phone to compensate
Saw this camera phone the other day and thought 'OK cool concept but it doesn't quite fit right in jeans pockets and probably doesn't have better quality than the iPhone'. But like the rest of the posters it doesn't fall in my usage zone.
