Technical Support / Re: MacBook Pro : Best RAW Processing Software?

« on: April 17, 2013, 06:42:44 AM »

The fact that more photographers use LR than any other program for RAW conversions speaks for itself.

-PW

That is because most people use Windows. So Aperture is out of the question.
Regardless what raw converter you use you will always need PS.

Aperture through the Appstore is probably half the price ( 70 euro's) of Lightroom. At the moment the best raw engine is from Apple=Aperture.

Software & Accessories / Re: Which iMac

« on: January 28, 2013, 04:55:43 AM »

So its is turning into mac vs the rest.

Back on topic.
The cheapest iMac will do the trick for your needs easily. I agree with paul13walnut5 that getting a ssd or fusion is the bigger difference.
Just got the mini i7 and have Apple put in the ssd(256) and working with Aperture and Photoshop its really fast. At least compared to my old iMac - 2006 model.
I later put in 16gb of ram, makes it smoother but the ssd is the wow factor.
Of course if you get an iMac you have a better graphic card and with an update of ram and possibly a ssd or fusion drive you will be needing a safety belt and crash helmet.

To the original OP, have you considered digitalrev? I know it's tempting me!

You pay more than the original prize in the UK when customs get their hands on the camera.

Or Delft, birthplace of Johannes Vermeer. You get of the train, you cross the street and you are in the old part of Delft. With canals, buildings, houses, churches as they were 4 hundred years ago and less tourist. Its smaller then A'dam but you get a better feel of how things were around 16-1700.
Youre in luck. Its proper Dutch weather, with lots of wind and rain.

So basically you can stay in bed and do bird-shots from there with this combo.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Suitable camera for my needs, 1d iv, mark III or..

« on: October 13, 2012, 11:19:18 AM »

The diff between the 1D IV and 1D III are better AF, low light, IQ and last but not least the IV has 16MP. Specially shooting birds/wildlife the extra mp's helps.

Technical Support / LP-E4 for 1D IV or LP-E4N

« on: October 11, 2012, 09:37:09 AM »

Just got the LP-E4N delivered in stead of the LP-E4 that I ordered. Now can I use it in the Mark IV or not.
Dont want to try it out in case it blows up the camera.
I saw that on most of the online shops where I live the LP-E4 is no longer listed.

The output 11.1 V is the same only the capacity of the battery is higher, 2450mAh 28 Wh to 2300mAh 26 Wh.
Anybody with both camera's has any idea?

EOS Bodies / Re: 46.1mp Canon DSLR Previewed at PhotoPlus 2012? [CR1]

I think the Ds series always had sufficient AF and low ISO performance but still came at a prize.
This new 46.1 mp beast isnt going to be any different.
However I doubt that it is going to appear very soon. I think that Canon marketing came up with the idea of spreading a rumour of a very high mp camera  so people would think twice before taking the plunge to the D800.

A lesser Af system would mean taking a step back.
I used to have to focus manually but now with auto-focus  life has became peachy.
