<p><strong>Canon P Imperial Edition

</strong>Canon Rumors reader Bernard sent me a few photos of his custom Canon P rangefinder. He had it redone in Tokyo with the help of <a href=\"http://www.japancamerahunter.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Japan Camera Hunter</a>.</p>
<p>The camera is fully customized with a new paint job and striking red grip. I personally think this is a nicer rangefinder than the one that <a href=\"http://www.macrumors.com/2013/11/24/one-of-a-kind-products-designed-by-jony-ive-and-designer-marc-newson-sold-off-at-red-auction/\" target=\"_blank\">just went for $1.8mil</a> </p>
<p>What do you think of Bernard’s P?</p>

Are you saying there's no difference between HDMI 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4? 1.3 has been around since 2005 or 2006.

From what I can tell, the only way to watch 4k video content in the home, is via Sony's pre-loaded, dedicated hard drive, on their 4k sets. Sharp and Samsung have something similar, but Sony owns the rights to a lot of movies, so their drive comes with like 20 movies on it. Whether or not the majority of those movies was remastered at the 4k resolution, rather than just upsampled to it, I can't say. Whether or not I would want to watch any of those 20 movies more than twice, I can say...the answer is NO.

Either way, I can agree that unless there starts being a lot of 4k content, then TV's with that resolution will not sell well.

I may have the 1.X number wrong, but unless the set has 2x HDMI 1.X input, HDMI 2.0 and/or a DisplayPort input, you aren't getting 4k at more than 30 Hz.

I didn't inquire at the store I saw the 4k sets at as to what the input source was.

You're talking to someone who has no biological children, yet deals with many women and takes care of their children as his own.

Many? Wow, what a magnanimous guy you are!

How many times have you held them while they puked at three in the morning? How many have you held while they cried after some boyfriend or girlfriend broke their heart? How many have you taught to throw a curveball and been out there beyond dark doing it? How many have you driven five hours each way to get when they're sick at college? How many have you spent your hard earned cash on for cars (and insurance) and college tuition and scouting and dance and gymnastics and team sports and trips abroad? How many times have you changed an infant and brought him or her to his or her mother to breast feed? How many two year olds have you held while they had a temp of 105º and were having a spinal tap (and were you also crying?)? How many of your sons and daughters have you had "the talk" with? How many have you taken to get birth control? How many soccer and baseball and lacrosse games have you attended when it's cold (and/or raining) outside? How many dance recitals have you been to and sat through two hours of crap waiting for your daughter's five minute performance? How many late nights have you waited until the last one came in before you finally got some rest? How many times have you bitten your tongue and NOT said "I told you so" even though it might feel so satisfying to do just that at the moment? These are but a few of my parenting experiences.

You and Mr. Walnut can speak in platitudes about what you believe parenting to be. In parenting "love" is spelled "T-I-M-E". It's being there. You teach them by modeling the behaviors you wish for them to emulate. That's how they learn. Talking the talk means zilch. It's all about walking the walk. And then you hope that they've taken in at least some of it, and that their mistakes will not be huge and that they will indeed learn something so as not to repeat them.

As I said, you have no standing to talk about parenting, your "takes care of their children as his own" notwithstanding. You have ZERO clue how you would take care of your own. You do not and can not understand that. The more you say it, the more ludicrous it sounds.

Anyway, my turkey is stuffed and in the roaster and my home made gravy is simmering. I'm going to enjoy Thanksgiving with my children, two of whom came from different states not because they had to be here but because they wanted to be here and enjoy the meal that Dad has been making since my oldest was about two. Terrible parenting, I know.

Just like Terry, you are assuming many of things that you have no proof of smh.
How about this... You're right! I've done none of those things. Terry is a horrible person who sexually abuses women.

Feel better?
Have you ever driven from New Jersey to California and back, to pick up a young ladies children after setting her up with a place to live? I'm far from a saint, but I'm no demon either! You don't know me, and just because I do NOT agree with your opinion based on accusations that were never pursued by anything other than the media, does NOT make me a monster.
By the way, I'm currently sitting here with a young lady in my house with her 2 children while I cook a huge feast for this evening. Happy thanksgiving to you, good luck with your assumptions

Here's one more for the 17-55, for all of the reasons that others have already mentioned. On a crop body I find it to be better than the 17-40. But if you're sure that you'll be going to FF soon, then it's a no-go. As I see it you really need to decide if it's going to be FF or crop before you buy a wide angle zoom.

And I have to agree with buying one used or refurbed, you can save some serious cash like that. I always buy in person and not online. I have to see it, feel it, test it, etc. and when I do that I've never been burned.

Blakegard · Nov 27, 2013

Definitely the Tokin 11-16, it's much sharper than the 10-22 as well as the 17-40 in the center although does get a little soft in the corners on the wide end. I highly recommend the 11-16 since it's faster and the range difference comes down to taking a few steps back or forward. Also the 11-16 can be used on a FF if you don't mind vignetting which disappears at about 14mm

I sent this message to canon earlier today, what do you guys think?

Nice to have? overkill? it's already there and I just missed it?

Dear Canon, could you please add a WebServer to the cameras OS. This could be as simple as:

GET /
# Gives the list of photos

GET /IMG_00001.cr2
# Gets one photo

Nice to have but not needed out of the gate:
DELETE /IMG_00001.cr2

Click to expand...

While on the surface that sounds like a fantastic idea, thinking about it this is a major security nightmare type of feature, ESPECIALLY the "delete" part.

You would most certainly have to add some sort of authentication to the scheme, and I think things start getting expensive hardware wise once you go down that road.

TTYL

Well, how does the current WiFi controls work? There isn't some kind of authentication first? Since it's an Ad-Hoc P2P WiFi network, if you use decent security (WPA2 w/Password) once you're on it it's likely you. And then turn it off when not using it. You don't want to drain the battery anyway, do you?

Zeiss is a very good company whose ethos for many decades has been to be the best in the world at what they do. Their latest Otus is for a niche market and will not be a huge mass market money spinner. It isn't fair to say that Westerners would not buy such a lens from an Asian company. We pay far more for the top Canon telephoto lenses. And I doubt whether Zeiss would even try and compete with those telephoto lenses because they know that it is one of the areas where Zeiss would be hard pressed to be the best in the world.

MLfan3 · Nov 27, 2013

Leica?
it was a great company but now it is a shitty copy cat brand.
they never invent anything new since 1983.
even their lens quality is overrated, the Sony 35mm f2.8ZA(which is designed by Sony) is sharper than the Leica 35mm f1.4 Lux.
if Leica had no European , literally no one really worship for it.
it is the name and look of the body that attract the people buy it despite of whatever Leica fanboys say about it.
and I was a Leica fanboy, but saw the reality and woke up when I saw Tim Ashley's his Leica M vs A7R vs D800E vs RX1 comparison.

Fleetie · Nov 27, 2013

Enjoy it! You could probably stop by here and show us some of your photos in this section, or maybe CRGuy will consider setting up a section for "Third Party Pictures" (Edit: I see there's already a "Third Party Lenses" section.). Anyway, I'd be interested to see.

Halfrack · Nov 26, 2013

This doesn't make sense for the MF world. I mean, it would have to be an electronic shutter, with a sensor+ type of down resolving. One thing for sure, they'd better do it on a 35mm sensor first - I don't think they sell enough H5D's, plus the folks spending $30k+ for a new body and back are not the folks to experiment with.

ajfotofilmagem · Nov 26, 2013

I live in Brazil, and I know well the difficulty of photographing football on a field official size (giant). The only option that allows decent pictures of your side of the field, and also on the opposite side, is use two bodies, and two lenses with focal length quite different. For example, 6D + 24-105 (closer to you) and other combination T2i + 55-250 STM (away from you). If have good lighting would not be a limiting factor to use dark lenses. Obviously, if the budget allows 70-300L will do fine on your 7D. Stay away from 75-300mm, it will surely disappoint you. I do not understand how Canon still manufactures such a lens, which was acceptable at the time the cameras were only 3 megapixel.

aznable · Nov 26, 2013

the canon is a little better at 105@4, in the rest fo focal length/apertures is worst; midframe and corners sigma is overall better

anyway 2 lenses i dont like so much

Graduation ceremony will be in a large college basketball stadium, so distance and low light will be needed.

The concert is going to be dark but it'll be in the floor area, so possibly can get some good close shots. Low light will take priority here.

Was thinking 70-200 2.8L II for the graduation and the 135L for the concert.

First...NOTHING slower than f/2.8

A few weeks ago, I shot at Voodoo Fest in New Orleans....3x days of concerts and I had credentials for full access to pits and even backstage. Concerts in day and night.

My 70-200 f/2.8 L II was the workhorse....but in some of the stages it wasn't too high and I was right up close, I had rented the 85mm f/1/2 to play with, and I got decent shots with it...but I found I was switching between my 70-200, and mostly during the day...my 17-40 f/4 I own, but it was a bit slow at night. I ended up getting some interesting shots (again, on stages I was very close on) with my cheap-o Rokinon 14mm f/2.8.

And even on some stages that were higher, I could set that thing up (manual lens) and just hold the camera up high as I could and shoot...and I got some good keepers with that.

If you're renting two of the lenses, I'd say #1 for sure, get the 70-200 f/2.8. You might look into either the 16-35mm L f/2.8 too if you want to have a spread between wide and tele....or in lieu of the wide zoom, maybe also rent the 24-70L f/2.8 II lens.

Those two should cover you pretty nicely....they worked for me and this was my first real concert shoot I'd ever done.

HTH,

cayenne

I do quite a lot of photo and video for my company (photography is not part of my job profile, it is my personal hobby) ... many of my photos get published in company brochures, calendars, newsletters, presentations, advertisements etc ... I don't get paid for it and nor is my name mentioned in any of the photos ... I don't mind though coz I'm happy with my regular job which pays me well to afford the luxury of some decent camera gear ... our CEO & COO usually give credit for the work I do in Board meetings, town hall meetings etc ... so I do get recognition for it ... but I do make sure to add my name at the end of every one of my videos.

K13X5C · Nov 26, 2013

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't come across this one yet on youtube.
Sometimes when I get stuck for inspiration going back to the basics
helps me think differently about my approach and can lead to new ideas.
I may have to come back to this sometime.
