EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS 70D Coming in July? [CR2]

« on: May 22, 2013, 02:25:36 AM »

I hope Magic Lantern can get 2k continuous raw video with a hack on the 70D. I'll probably need a 95mb/s card though. If they can do that, then I can forgive Canon for the same old sensor.

I think I'll stick with cinestyle.

Well that's cool. I hope to see some comparison videos between this, cinestyle, and marvel.

EOS Bodies / Re: Why not higher resolution video?

Why are you talking about 4k? Let's talk about HD. Canon DSLRs do not even shoot true 1080p while their competition does. In short, the answer the original poster's question is that Canon managers are greedy old men who do not care about the customer at all. Prove me wrong.

Cool. Does this mean the current gen will drop to maybe $1,000? Might pick that up.

GEEZUS I didn't even know that 1.8 on a zoom lens was possible. This is incredible. Good job Sigma.

Not even 7fps? Same sensor, no notable improvements? dual SD card slot? What a piece of crap.

Makes the Canon C line look like a pile of turd. Who in their right mind would buy a C300 or 1DC with this?

Sony is coming out with 55inch 4k TVs for $5k. Apple is also rumored to come out with a 4k set. I think prices have come down enough at this point.

But the main hurdle for many is actual 4k content and internet download speeds to handle the 4k. Until that is improved, 4k isn't going anywhere.

Another disappointment from Canon!

It is sad how I have money, ready to buy a new camera, but nothing to spend it on. If only the D7100  had a tilt screen I'd jump right now.

EOS Bodies / Re: diy ideas on how to protect camera from rain?

« on: April 07, 2013, 03:22:06 AM »

I have done this when in light rain. If it is pouring out it probably won't work:

Get a simple plastic bag, small, mid, or large sized bag depending on lens you want to use. Using scissors or similar create a hole in the bag on the bottom of it large enough for your lens. Be careful not to make it too big. Put camera in the bag, facing the hole. Do not poke your lens outside the bag. Use a rubber band outside the bag where the lens is so the lens and bag are close and tight. If you do it right, the camera should be completely protected and you should still be able to access the controls and use manual focus if necessary. AF works fine as well.
It works for me, make sure you keep a few extra "pre-cut" bags with you and some rubberbands as well. You can wrap a paper towel around the lens with another rubberband if you want extra protection.

Is it "Bulletproof?" The thing that Magic Bullet guys are touting.

EOS Bodies / Re: Will the 70d have a new sensor?

« on: April 03, 2013, 06:50:26 PM »

When the canon 70d will be available?

Nobody knows for sure, but rumors say, there will be an april announcement. The 60D is on the market for 2 1/2 years (which is very long for xxD body) and its prices are at an alltime low. So it could/should come before summer.

I hope so ... and whats the price? 900 $?

Obviously, no one knows the price. I doubt it is as low as $900 though since that is probably the price of the T5i. I'm guessing $1100-$1400 body only.
