EOS Bodies / Re: Buy 1DX now or wait for an upgrade?
« Last post by dlleno on Today at 06:20:56 AM »If they do introduce a high MP body that is not a 1 series, then it will have to avoid stepping on the 5D3's toes.
<4 fps, and the 6D's AF system. Done.
yea that would sure do it all right. It would be an interesting separastion of the market, i.e. come in both "above" and "below" the D800.

EOS Bodies / Re: Buy 1DX now or wait for an upgrade?
« Last post by dlleno on Today at 06:07:39 AM »Upgrade will be announced by late October and will ship by January. I'm also waiting.
I know many will disagree but look up the product cycles and dates of the announcement and shipments of both the 1D and 1Ds.
No disrespect meant, but I think you'll be utterly disappointed, man!
I haven't figured out if this is a real thread or not. I mean, this is a rumor site, and one can say anything even without evidence, but some statements just don't even make sense. Even a cursory review of the 1 series product life cycles reveals no such extraordinary possibility, and to assert that the 1DX will be refreshed in October 2013 ignores Canon's announcement that the 1DX was the amalgamation of 1D and 1Ds bodies. Unless you count the lifespan of the 1D mark II N, you just can't construe history to expect a 1DX refresh when the body is only a year and a half old.
we will probably see a new body in 2014 (or at least more announcements), but it won't be a 1DX refresh. Its more likely to be a new body with Canon's new 180nm mfg process and first competitive attempt at an improved DR, high MP landscapes type body. Its too soon to tell, but it appears this could be a single 1-series body, a single body that is not a 1 series, or we might see more than one body introduced or announced.
On a similar note, we can't expect a refresh of the 5D3 either, in 2014 (my opinion) since it is barely a year and a half old right now and still selling like gangbusters. When it does arrive, the refresh of this body would still, it seems to me, preserve the 5D heritage, i.e. high ISO wedding/event work, and not venture into the landscape space.
Personally I expect one camera in 2014 that will be sufficiently differentiated from the 1DX and 5D3 so as to preserve these for refresh in a couple of years time -- Canon's way of forcing the market. If they do introduce a high MP body that is not a 1 series, then it will have to avoid stepping on the 5D3's toes.

Animal Kingdom / Re: Wrong Photography Ethics?
« Last post by sanj on Today at 06:06:06 AM »This is an interesting article from Bryan Peterson on this issue. Thought I'd share
http://bryanfpeterson.blogspot.in/2010/06/every-photograph-is-lie-yet-within-that.html
He says: "Personally, I have NO problem with any image that has been dramatically altered, as long as it is 'believable' OR so obviously altered that it's not even a question e.g. fantasy, dream-like photographs. I don't mind the 'lie' that is created from a dramatically altered image, since I have felt for years that every photograph is a 'lie' anyway, but my problem with the dramatically altered 'lie' is that it can lead one to believe that a given landscape or cityscape really does "look like that" when, as it turns out, there is no such place on earth."
Thanks for the share! In my photo, such clouds do exist in that part of the world.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Am I crazy to sell my Canon gear?
« Last post by tomscott on Today at 06:03:32 AM »I use a 5DMKIIII for all my work but have a little NEX 5N similar to the one your looking at.
The sensor is fantastic, amazing detail, very sharp, lots of DR and a great camera to use. I dont think your mad they are smaller, much much more portable, the image quality will be similar to what your used to with the 5DC although low light may not be quite as good.
But the camera is a compromise, but IMO a good one. Although you cannot replace your DSLR with a mirrorless for everything as of yet unless its a fuji I like the X100s and Xpro1 but they are quite expensive, even those dont track particularly well. Bang for buck nothing beats the sonys really. I have taken some great pics with mine, for little trips daily camera to have around the DSLR is a bit overkill and the Nex does a great job. It doesn't cut it for my work tho and the 5DMKIII blows it away but again its 5-6x the size without a lens.
Only problem with the sony kit is that there is a lack of lenses but hopefully in time.

1D X Sample Images / Re: Any Thing shot with a 1Dx
« Last post by serendipidy on Today at 05:53:08 AM »Some of mine. Went to the local zoo. Just testing my recently acquired Canon 2x teleconverter III with my EF 70-200 f/2.8L II. Gotta give you all a heads up that my shots do not come anywhere close to Gary Samples' and eml58's shots...composition and capture...theirs are just brilliant, jaw-dropping, and most importantly to me, inspiring. Thank you both for sharing your images with everyone here.
Not taking away from everyone else's images...just that these two gents' images are what keeps me coming back to this thread.
Dwight...very nicely done. Makes me want to go to a zoo soon.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: SL1 or Fuji X-EX1 or Sony Nex 6?? Would like your thoughts
« Last post by StepBack on Today at 05:50:48 AM »These r the kind of questions which start arguments and make divorce lawyers wealthy. Dump the old gal for the young spirited model who just fascinates u with her sleek lines and taste in lenses. If u really like the Canon u have I agree with others: stay the course and buy another Canon to find a second home 4 your lenses. But if u want to experiment w/o getting rid of your soul mate than pick up a new one at the corner store and take her for a spin. There is no answer. Only u can decide. Is the IQ good enough? How's that DR. What's the ISO capacity? That's all old school. You want the latest. You know what. Open the wallet and get yourself the one u've been eyeing. That's the only way u'll ever know.

1D X Sample Images / Re: Any Thing shot with a 1Dx
« Last post by serendipidy on Today at 05:50:09 AM »1Dx 300f/2.8, Shot @ f/6.3 1/320th ISO1600
The choice on the day was Leopards, or, A pack of Wild Dog had come into the area, no choice, these Animals are not only Beautiful but severely endangered, so we looked for these Guys all day, finally found them hunting just on Sunset. The tall Grass made them, for me, exceptionally hard to shoot in the fading light, so every shot I tried with the Pack Running I blew, but everything stands still sometime.
Eml...I envy you...you cover such an incredible range of photography....and you do it very, very well...again, nice shot!
+1
So many great photographers and mentors on this site. I used to visit other websites...now, pretty much only this one.
