Lenses / Re: 17-40 vs 16-35, which one got the mojo ?

17-40 vs 16-35 - For landscapes? None of them.

Stick with Samyang 14mm and Zeiss 21mm until Canon gets their act together and gives us a UWA-zoom that is sharp across the frame (like the crazy sharp Nikon 14-24).

Yes! I am so glad that Canon finally announces the 14-24L and the 35L II. Two lenses that people have actually been waiting for!

Oh snap. Where's my reading glasses when I need them.

PowerShot / Re: Canon Announces The PowerShot N

« on: January 07, 2013, 03:33:07 PM »

People are quick to hate. Remember when the 5DMKIII came out  yet now everyone things its incredible...

Think its quite intriguing! I would give it a go!

Really? I still think the 5D3 has a craptastic sensor, with its decade old DR capabilities.

Not everyone bends over to Canon's marketing machine. Me and most of my friends are still shooting our 5D2s, happily waiting for the 5D4 / 5DX or whatever the next generation will be called.

I guess people who think the 5D3 is a great upgrade from the 5D2, will also like the Powershot N. They will buy anything that Canon throws at them.

Due to the nature of the show as opposed to Photokina, do you think the announcements may be a bit more pedestrian? perhaps the most fancy new shiny bit may be a non L IS added to a prime? akin to a 24/28/35?

I hope you don't mean as opposed to Canons showcase at Photokina 2012, because that one SUCKED!

I'm kinda guessing CES will suck too. At least for us canonites who are waiting for the 14-24L, 35L 2, 135L 2, the bigh MP body e.t.c.. We won't be seeing any of that.

Oh yes! Bring on the 14-24L!! 

4 days left... let's wait and see. 

It would be good a 14-24 or something like that.

More interested in 35L II with weather sealing

Not really. The 35L is just fine.
It is better if Canon fill the holes in their lineup, before upgrading an already great lens like the 35L.

Canon still doesn't have a good UWA-zoom for landscapers.

Pricewatch Deals / Re: Canon has Refurbished 5DIII for $2240

I don't think I've ever seen a DSLR price tag dropping this fast.

Here's to hoping the 5D3 gets a very short product cycle. I want new sensor tech.

There will be a real (big megapixel) replacement for the 1Ds Mark III with an outstanding image quality.

All big megapixel sensors (prototypes) are in an 1D X style body.

Because landscapers and architectural photogs love dragging big and heavy cameras? No, I find that hard to believe. But if that is the case then it is a stupid move by Canon, and the D800 looks even more appealing.

Will the EOS M2 have useful features Or will it be more of the same-old same-old from Canon

Canon worries about canniblization, but someone else will eat their lunch if they are not careful.

First company to release affordable mirrorless FF, will eat Canon's lunch for sure.

Sony is halfway there with their RX1. All that is missing now is a model with interchangable lens system.

1DSX.

I don't like the sound of that. It means that the high MP body will have built in grip (elephant sized camera).

As if our camera bags aren't full and heavy enough already?  This camera will be the final step to killing my neck and shoulders.

i'll trade my soul for it.

Really? Might want to rethink that.

Really? You registered just to tell me that? 

But in all seriousness. The price tag on this camera will give me no choice, so farewell my dear soul!

1D size? Bleh. 

Put it in a 5D body and I'll cry rivers of joy.
Put it in a weather sealed rebel body, and i'll trade my soul for it.

Lenses / Re: Canon EF 14-24 f/2.8L in Late 2013 [CR2]

I guess this makes my plans to upgrade from the 17-40L with the 16-35L in the next 6 months go for a spin.

A big dilemma here ... whether to upgrade to the 16-35 or to wait for the 14-24 - biggest problem is that one might be tempted to wait but with Canon maybe I will end up waiting too long

If you use your UWA-zoom for landscapes, you should wait for the 14-24.

Edge to edge and corner sharpness is very important when it comes to landscapes, and the 16-35 just doesn't cut it.

I think (and hope) the 14-24L will be a winner.
