Live cast cancelled, what a shame. Is there really no other way to watch the event?

Lenses / Re: Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II Announced
« on: February 08, 2012, 01:43:47 AM »You can hardly compare prices from two different decades, especially when its from two different products. It doesn't calculate out economically. Its like saying Oranges in 2002 cost more than Apples in 2012
Simply put, wrong economics. You could have gotten a fresh orange in 2002 for 3 dollars but also had an option of getting a-few-days-old pear for a dollar. Now in 2012, you can get a fresh apple for 4 dollars but an old orange for 2 dollars.
If you want to get your hands on great new product first, you've got to pay more. However, you wait some time, and the price will eventually match your expectations, and more importantly, market demands. The prices of the fresh fruits were never wrong.

« on: February 08, 2012, 12:58:57 AM »You're taking a 10 year old release, and comparing to whats available now? You do realise that the current price of the 24-70 is way below that, right?
But we are looking at MSRP at the time of announcement, not street price, right now. The new MSRP seems perfectly reasonable considering the sharpness improvement proved by MTF graphs. The street price in a few months will be much lower than $2299. I just don't think blaming Canon for the huge price bump is right.

Don't know why folks here are so upset about the price of the Mk II, below is from a press release for Mk I dated Sep 29, 2002:
The new EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM measures 4.9 inches in length and weighs 33.5 ounces. The new lens, equipped with a lens hood, will be available at authorized Canon dealers in November and have a suggested retail price of $2,100.
The new lens got an increase of 200 bucks only.

EOS Bodies / Re: (DEAD/ STUCK / HOT) Pixels Thread
« on: June 06, 2011, 04:16:30 PM »
Since you recently bought the camera and still have warranty, Canon may be willing to replace the LCD. If I had a dead pixel that glows in green on my LCD, it would definitely annoy me even if I am aware that it will not be visible on the actual image file.
On another topic, I had a stuck pixel in my sensor that used to glow in bright orange in the final image. It was bright enough so that even after some NR/resizing I could still spot it. I was not aware of the intentional heating of the pixels and doing sensor cleaning right after technique. But I had to send my camera in for a lens body focus calibration and asked Canon to take a look. They just electronically remapped all stuck pixels and problems were gone.
