EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS-1D X Availability [CR2]

« on: June 01, 2012, 09:47:42 AM »

Wow. If this is true, I think canon needs to have a very serious look at its internal and external PR/communications set up. I like this site, but something as serious as a delay that could be until September, needs to be handled by professional PR people who are paid by or work for canon. Instead they remain quiet. That shocks me more than the delays.

Couldnt be said better!

If I were you, I just wouldnt buy the 1DX ... & IF YOU ALREADY PRE-ORDERED IT, CANCEL IT!
.... being as it is you already know it doesnt meet your level of perfection. 

I'll let you know when the firmware fix makes it worth having ... k?

Software & Accessories / Re: Where to position a watermark

« on: April 19, 2012, 02:09:29 PM »

In the trash can.

99% of the people using watermarks have a grossly inflated idea of what their pictures are worth. I've found an inverse relationship between the size of watermarks and the quality of pictures. The bigger and more predominate the watermark, the crappier the image.

99%  ... Thats a bit extreme.

Lower right hand corner ... otherwise, put it where you want it. Its YOUR work/art.

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark III Recall?

I'm starting to think (IF this turns out to be true) that now might not be the best time to buy a $6,800 body.

Maybe Canon's quality control & production facilities aren't what they should be since the Earthquake.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Canon EOS-1D X & EF 24-70 f/2.8L II Delays Officially Confirmed

Exactly!  This really frustrating as they keep annoucing stuff but dont deliver on what has been annunced already.

This is my biggest problem with Canon. Stop the hype & quit putting the horse before the carriage!
Canon, you're getting a lot of flak because of sensationalizing your flagship before you can produce it.

EOS Bodies / EOS Bodies - The ultimate duo & why

« on: June 08, 2011, 11:28:02 PM »

Whats your idea of the perfect combo of EOS bodies?

I like the 7D because I shoot a lot of sports in the water. The size of the 7D is much easier to handle compared to a 1 series in a water housing.

Topside, I wish I had a 1 series sometimes ... but the 5DMKII does a superb job at everything that doesnt move fast.

Cant help but wonder how my relationship with my 5DMKII will be affected when the 5DMKII is available.

I just dont see myself parting ways with the 7D anytime soon .... especially when new models are rumored to have the same AF system.
