EOS Bodies / Should I swap my 60D and $ for a 5D Mk II??

« on: March 12, 2013, 05:52:26 AM »

Question to Group.  My Sons friend is trying to go to Germany for school this summer and needs some extra $.
He has offered a swap of my 60D for his 5D Mk II and some $. My current setup is a 60D with BG-E9 Battery Grip.  The 5D Mk II  is without battery Grip.  I know the Mk III is out and soon a 70D will be upon us.  Should I make the deal? All of my Lens are EF except a Tokina 12-24.  I knows its going from APC to Full Frame and I would lose the extra Reach. Plus I would have to Get CF cards.  I want to help the guy. Just asking options.
I shoot a lot of landscape.

Technical Support / Canon 60D switched from Raw to JPG after 10k Roll

« on: November 04, 2012, 10:17:38 PM »

I was out shooting today at a Local Airport for there Warrior War birds Air show in (Monroe NC)
Using my Canon 60D I had it set for RAW.  During the Shoot. I forgot to reset time due to DST ending and I made the change after taking a few shots.
During the event the camera rolled over the 10k shots.  Later I discovered that the Camera switched from RAW to Large JPG.  Has anyone had this to happen to them?  I will admit it could of been me changing settings by mistake.   But I can not reproduce until I shoot another 10k.
