what I was actually doing here was trying to maximize the height of the spout and increase the colliding drop size. I went to far and got more of a dribble for the second drop. I used a homemade piezo sensor to detect the first drop hitting the tank then varied the time till flash from there, I think these were like 200 milli second after first contact. The Camera axe makes this fairly easy and the piezo sensor makes it very repeatable. There is a lot of information on the Camera Axe forums. Oh and I was seeing about the same things as everyone else.

thank you for sharing) useful information for me)

Starting off with some Thursday humor inspired by Don Haines' post in the "let's get it on" thread here: http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=19636.msg369848#msg369848.

I had some business in Austin today and on my way I always pass this billboard and it cracks me up. Nothing artistic about this, but I do find it funny that Rob Zombie could represent me in a court of law.

something weird with this billboard)

I wonder if the low shutter speed issue will always exist. It is probably the single biggest issue...once you get down to 1/30th of a second or slower, it really has a major impact on the EVF frame rate. I got down to 1/4 second at one point...and WOW. I figured the camera would simulate exposure, but it actually seems to really do the exposure you've chosen, even for slow shutter speeds. It really kills the user experience.

Doesn't behave like that for me, surely you must have set something somewhere in the menus.

I agree with msm, mine doesn't act like that either; I just pointed it at my TV figuring that would make the effect even more obvious, but I didn't notice any issues with EVF frame rate. I'm wondering if I'm just not noticing it, since above I saw you discuss how you may notice things others don't?

So you mean most of the camera users? Because, I for one, have never read the manual on any of the cameras or even electronics I've bought. It's like when you have to register somewhere and accept the terms, you just skip to the bottom and click "Agree", only in this case I never even open the manual in the first place. I don't know, maybe that's just me...

It may be just you. When I was shopping around for my new camera, I downloaded the manuals for all the models I was considering and read them. I find that gives me much more information than just reading someone's review/opinion.

If you don't read the manual, how do you learn how to set the camera up and what functions it can do?

Typically in the USA, one would sell for $2700 - $3500, it depends on the number of actuations and condition.

I'd not hesitate to pay $2700 rather than $1800 for a 7D MK II. Don't fall for the early hype. I had to sell my 1D MK IV because of problems with my hands, but it outperformed my D800 in a side by side use at a theater event, two different shows, actually. I tried my 7D at one, it was hopeless, gaining 1 stop in raw would not help.

Canon rates the high ISO on it using jpeg, looking at raw files, its the same as the 70D. Tale a look on Imaging Resource at high ISO's on different camera models. I look at the yarn hanging on the wall, and compare detail, contrast, and color saturation. The 1D MK IV has lots of detail and contrast at ISO 12800, not so the 7D MK II. I'd give the 1D MK IV a 1 stop advantage. A 6D has about 1-1/2 stop advantage.

I agree.
But isn't the whole package a reason to buy or not to buy? Comparing the multiple features between the two cameras AND weighing them in comparison to the price difference...I guess everyone has there own reason(s)...

What a great shot. I am so happy to see the bird in wildlife can be done with the 5D MKIII
But that 600II carrying in the jungle...isn't that heavy?

3 things to do during shooting:
- Avoid shooting with a wide-open lens in high contrast scenes.
- Avoid overexposing highlights (e.g. specular reflections and bright sky behind dark objects).
- Shoot with a Haze-2A or other strong UV-cut filter.
You might have done all 3 things wrong simulataneously in this image...

- Avoid shooting with a wide-open lens in high contrast scenes.
Especially set to 4.0 instead of 2.8. Trying to keep away from using the extremes of this lens.
- Avoid overexposing highlights (e.g. specular reflections and bright sky behind dark objects).
I have lately been trying to conciously ETTR more, as I am not happy with the sensor noise the 5D3 produces.
The histogram says the bright areas were not overexposed, but I was way to the right. Obviously its not a scene with a lot of dark areas, so I guess it would not be so important here. I'll take this in mind next time there is a lot of contrast.
- Shoot with a Haze-2A or other strong UV-cut filter.
Did have one.

That happens with me :-[

Thanks for the tips.

Just realized that I left the documentation and whatever else came with the lens (possibly a CD-ROM) 2800 miles away at my other home. So, I won't be selling the lens until at least I get back there, which won't be until January at the earliest, possibly not until almost a year from now though.

wow! it's incredible!

good shots

I must apologize for this event - it was triggered when I finally broke down and bought the M a few weeks ago.

I am truly sorry for triggering this cataclysm.

Hello Kaorin
As the unit works fine in the hot shoe of another 5DIII it must be OK. I did a rudimentary cleaning of the hot shoe on my camera but to no avail. I have contacted Canon service in Denmark where I live and they agree that it most probably is a hot shoe problem. It might be covered by the guarantee even though the camera was bought a year and a half ago. I used the unit tethered all day yesterday and it works perfectly

If AMD did not exist, Intel would have no incentive to invest in improving their processors just to beat the competence. Their only incentive to release more powerful processors would be just to encourage customers to upgrade.

Since when, again? Oh, they add more "cores" to the CPU nowadays, but that's not the same as making a better processor ...

SPKoko said:
And, of course, without AMD, they could charge whatever they wanted for their processors.

Erm, ever went shopping for a XEON-based system? (Check this out: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html.)

SPKoko said:
But to be a good analogy, Intel should build their own computers, as Canon and Sony do. In that case, other computer manufacturers would always be afraid of Intel reserving their better processors for their computers.

Actually, they do.
