Sir laser was use many years before
but if You like learn please please read below ( I call this discovery below explain You why )

Why my GPS is cheaper ( I no need Nasa and GPS satelittes ) !!! My camera not cooporate with outside objecsts (how much cheaper I dont know) When You measure Earth Velocity
You always will be sure Your position ( the same vector but not the same position = different brightness special and only one ) Traditional GPS not work underground my without problem Underground You can measure Earth Velocity and Your own angle to velocity )

Why I want contact with canon or nikon ?
( they not have submit idea on web so I try forum !)

this what I done = new algoritms for measure where is Target ,
power of light -
I explain new mistake reason any instruments ( not only optica )

please read below and learn if You like know what I done and why I done ?

all books have below words ( main rules for physics ) ( below stars book's word after stars my own )

*********************************************************************************
" Galileo postulated his relativity hypothesis:

any two observers moving at constant speed and direction with respect to one another will obtain the same results for all mechanical experiments

(it is understood that the apparatuses they use for these experiments move with them).

In pursuing these ideas Galileo used the scientific method (Sec. 1.2.1): he derived consequences of this hypothesis and determined whether they agree with the predictions.

This idea has a very important consequence: velocity is not absolute. This means that velocity can only be measured in reference to some object(s), and that the result of this measurment changes if we decide to measure the velocity with respect to a diferent refernce point(s). Imagine an observer traveling inside a windowless spaceship moving away from the sun at constant velocity. Galileo asserted that there are no mechanical experiments that can be made inside the rocket that will tell the occupants that the rocket is moving . The question ``are we moving'' has no meaning unless we specify a reference frame (``are we moving with respect to that star'' is meaningful). This fact, formulated in the 1600's remains very true today and is one of the cornerstones of Einstein's theories of relativity."
**************************************************
MAROSZ DISCOVERY my words

please read what I done on my blog

http://tesla2.blogspot.com/

after this please read below and think where is true !!!

EARTH = SPACESHIP
We always travel in Universe 220 km/s ! and 30 km/s
Our rocket is very big and heavy has windows - we can see stars - We have a lot of space inside this is reason why we not feel like in ROCKET

What is Our velocity in Universe ?

" My train move or my station move? "
Can we use only outside stars ?

We move or stars move ?

MAROSZ IDEA : We can create small but own star
( One laser beam can be Internal star ? Why not , we knew power of light , main direction of light and move, Luminous Intensity )

GALILEO , EINSTEIN , MACH , NEWTON - IMPOSSIBLE !!!!

MAROSZ - I done this 08/09 of October 2012 ( everyone can repeat !!!) it is EASY

this is all good info. I'm selling my 10-22, 24-105, and 60D as well. I already have the 24-70 II but I think I need to take my lenses to Canon (down the street) to get everything calibrated. Do you guys think I should just get FoCal instead?.... or both Canon Service and use FoCal?

Click to expand...

I'd first do a AFMA. (Get FoCal). Only consider having Canon adjust your lens if it has a actual problem. Canon will put the lens on a reference body like a 5D MK III and calibrate it to that body. Your body might still be different, so don't bother. The next new body you get will need a different adjustment, so just use FoCal.

= June 2012 much easier to decode than the serial number

I think the 100/2 is one of Canon's most underrated lenses. I prefer it to the 85/1.8 on FF. I found the focal length to be better for portraits, and the IQ, AF and sharpness are excellent.

I currently have the Sigma 85/1.4, but as good as it is I'm considering selling it and getting the 100/2 again.

Fyi: http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2012/11/canon-24-70-mk-ii-variation

I think this is really interesting and deserves a post over here, because Roger comes to the conclusion that even though the data shows a large variation, the real world difference (well, with the current mp count on Canon) is very small - though shows when pixel peeping or comparing a "good" 24-70 against a "bad" 70-200 or vice versa.

I think most people realize there is sample variation. But this provides a nice illustration showing just how random a test report comparing just one copy of each lens can be. Don’t get me wrong; those reports are totally worthwhile.

But we have to be really careful splitting hairs with camera lenses. With 70 copies tested, I’m comfortable the average (mean) resolution of the 24-70 Mk II is slightly higher than the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II at 70mm. But that difference is much less than the sample variation

Click to expand...

I'm wondering how much the difference between lenses will show up when used on the upcoming high mp ff sensors, or when being (dual-)used on crop with higher pixel density?

Click to expand...

I am not a scientist or necessarily a Canon fanboy (Check my lens list), but I recently bought a Canon 24-70 II(with reservations regarding price vs "variations" in individual lenses). To my eye, (which is getting old...LOL), the sharpness on my 5D III compares to my Sigma 50mm @F/2.8. I think that that is pretty incredible for any zoom lens.

I had the same with my 7D, turned out it was an issue with the focus system. The beast way to see if you have the same is to take the same picture once with live view and once with normal autofocus. The lieve view would be spot on, the normal focus would randomly miss the subject with several meters. I sent it to canon for repairs within the warranty period and it's always spot on ever since; I now keep 9/10 images, while I used to get only 5/10 in focus. with the ones missing now being hard to catch subjects or due to too long shutter speeds.

* This is probably the combo I'm going to get - but you're throwing part of the money away because apart from the better corner sharpness the 24-70ii has the added advantage of the most precise af system, but only in combination with a 1dx/5d3.

* Even if you mf a good af system might help with focus confirmation, so the 5d3/1dx should still have the edge if you use that.

* If mf'ing the 6d has the big advantage of taking a replacement screen, like the 1dx, but unlike the 5d3. For other advantages of the 6d see here: http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=11309.0

There is one thing that somehow disturbs me. The guy in the house is far away from the bride, she seems to be unreachable for him from his point, even with this huge kitchen knife. One could have placed him on either side of the house looking around the corner. This might have added some ""realism"" to the image...

I see BHPhoto and Amazon have the Canon SX260 for quite cheap at $199. Any thoughts on if that is an Xmas discount or inventory clearing price, preparing for an update?

I'm mostly curious if people think the successor in the ultra-zoom point-and-shoot category will just have some marginal improvements here and there ... say 14 or 16MP, or something more revolutionary [touch screen interface? controls revamped, appreciably bigger sensor/better ISO?].

At $199/small size, I'm ok buying/carrying it as a one-trick-pony ... 500mm zoom. Eventhough I'm pretty confident I'll feel the pictures will look very flat ... they're better than nothing. But I'd also be fine spending $300-$350 for something tangibly better.

Also, is it easy to do exposure compensation on this camera? I hate not having EV control on a dial. That and Aperture priority + easy to change f-stop are my two key control concerns.


[context: I often carry around my trusty G10. I have some mid-level Nikon SLRs/lenses but am looking at the D600 once the dust/oil issue is resolved ... I've been interested in something with more tele- than the G10 I can use casually ... small/cheap and can keep in the backpack permanently. It looks like it also uses the same battery as my PowerShot D10, another "one trick pony" ... that's also a benefit.]


Thanks for any thoughts or feedback.

Mt Spokaine, thanks for ur reply, ru saying the DR on the Nikon was that much better than the canon, keeping highlights when exposing for shadows, but you didn't like the rest of the system of the nikon. Thanx Pete

I can't find any company with more than 500$ insurance on camera(electronic) stuff around the globe (I will travel to Europe) (theft,loss etc ).. I'm kind of worried about this because I will bring for about 6000$ in gear . Is there someone who can help me with this? Thank you
I'm from Quebec, Canada so I don't think a USA insurance can cover me..

Click to expand...

Household insurance (on property and contents) does include coverage of items carried for use out of the country. However, there are limits as to the value per item and total coverage( in my case not exceeding Cad2k per item and up to 5K for total coverage). I am pretty sure about it cos it's part of my statefarm household policy. Please consult your insurance agent.

Cheers guys i did not know the Nikon lens were older and heavier than the current Canon's. That would explain the difference in price.

This is a friendly forum, not a place to criticize those who come for help.

The jerks who ridiculed the poster really need to cancel their accounts as well. Maybe I'll do it for them

Doing some Google searching I found that another company (rhymes with Flycon) has/had a similar lens. The explanation of why the lens was made is interesting.

Olympics and Pulitzers: I thought I would pass along my experience with Canon 1200/5.6 from the 84' Olympics which led to a great shot and part of a Pulitzer prize.

I was working at the Orange County Register in SoCal and was assigned to cover the 100K Cycling race in Mission Viejo. To get the shot I wanted, I would have to camp out over night in the backyard of local that looked straight down at the finish line but I was going to need a monster of a lens and when I heard about the Canon 1200, I knew it would do the trick. I camped out the night before and as the race unfolded the next day it came down to a sprint to the finish between the Canadian and Alex Grewal of the US and was literally so close at the finish line that there was no jubilation until about 50 yards past the finish line. It was perfect from my vantage point and a nightmare for the pool photographers who were getting his rear-end since the Olypic Pool position was right at the finish line!

Then it was topped off when the next year, the Register was selected for a Pulitzer prize for our Olympic Photo coverage and that images was part of the entry.

I had other occasions to use the lens for other sports events, but in SoCal, you had to be careful using it on a hot day at ground level as it would pick up so much of the heat waves coming of the ground, that it would compormise your focus....They are a pretty amazing piece of glass and a fond memory for me!

Awesome story. That's really awesome, and a great shot. I guess that's just what you have to do to get the shot you want, camp out where you need to be and bring a BIG lens

It may also however, encourage a company to release crippled software knowing that they can charge for the "features" a month or two later.

Click to expand...

The base functionality has to be there, and Canon is in the habit of delivering just that anyway.

The main blocking issue for more firmware innovation probably is a) a conservative company policy and b) the pro userbase that won't forgive buggy firmware beyond what is "normal" now just after release - and since Canon uses basically the same firmware for all models (that's why Magic Lantern is easily ported) there are less innovations even for enthusiast/amateur models.

Try to avoid falling ;D

But seriously, consider bringing along a tough camera if you have one, for your real "action shots" i.e. if skiing backwards while videoing a colleague on a tough slope. I use a Panasonic TS3 or a GoPro.

Also remember your extra batteries! And keep these next to your body or as close as possible.

And one thing I can't recommend enough, bring good gloves. Get either a pair that has round elastics that go over your jacket arms so that you can easily rip off a glove to shoot with and have it remained tethered to your arm, or even better a pair of "shooting gloves" either for hunting or photography that have at least a flap to uncover your shutter finger, or better both flaps to uncover your thumbs and pointer fingers.

Congrats on your new toy

I played with 6D for 2 days and decided not to have 6D as 2nd body. Maybe another 5D III or 1D X....if I get an approval from the boss at home ;D

6D reminded me why I jumped from 5D II to 5D III, AF system is not there :-\ :-\ :-\

M.ST said:

Professional Sports/journalism/wildlife: 1D X
Professional Studio/portrait/landscape: 1Ds Mark III
Professional Weddings/multipurpose camera: 5D Mark III
Amateur Sports/wildlife or for a Pro instead of a TC: 7D
Amateur Portrait/Landscape: 6D

If you want to lock the focus in extreme low light:
1. choice: 1D X
2. choice: 5D Mark III
3. 6D.


The 1D X and 5D Mark III can lock the focus in low light while the 6D is giving up.

Click to expand...

what i don't get is why in this breakdown you list the 6d as only for amateur portrait/landscape but also list it as one of the 3 bodies to get to lock focus in extreme low light? Wouldn't that mean the 6d is also a very capable wedding photographer camera? From what I see now, the only reason the 6d may not be a 'pro' body as you say is durability, and on that note, no one can really answer that just yet. People who are buying one right now may have a better response on that issue next year around this time.

Also, didn't that reuters best of 2012 list tell the story as for journalism? the most used camera was the 5d2 (and from what i saw, it was a 5d2 +16-35mm combo). I'd say that trend will continue, in 2013 that list will most likely still have a bunch of 5d2's, but it will also have 6d's and 5d3's (and it's doubtful the 1dx will be in that list) For sure the 1dx will win for sports shooting due to the better AF tracking and higher fps, but for the cost I'd say bodies in the 2-3.5k range will dominate because they offer more than enough features at a reasonable price point.

Said it before and say it again, sometimes I think we apply the word 'pro' to a product only due to price (many argue that the 5d2 isn't actually a pro body!)

Thanks, that was my favourite of the shoot too. It's hard to believe it's actually a road and even more unbelievable that we saw people trying to drive through it. The Transit vans and Land Rovers made it, but the car we saw didn't, judging by the recovery truck I saw in the distance with my binoculars.

weather-sealed 35 mm lenses

Click to expand...

Short answer: there aren't any. Neither the Canon nor the Sigma are sealed lenses. If you require a sealed lens at 35mm, you need to look at a zoom (16-35 II, 24-70 I or II) but then you're going to f/2.8.

Optically, the new Sigma 35/1.4 is better than the Canon 35L.

i would love a Canon 500mm f/5.6 L IS II for birding 8)

Click to expand...

That would be ideal but not likely as it would compete with the f/4 version

Note: As this hypothetical lens does not replace a similar one it will be version I not II.

A 6D image gallery is now available here:

http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?board=75.0

My Canon EOS 650D (T4i) with 18-135 mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, a few months old, sometimes does not shut down - approximately once in 500 switchings off. The camera continues to show on the LCD screen what was there before the shutting down attempt. In the picture, look at the position of the video-on-off switch and at the LCD screen - the screen should show nothing.

In this mode, camera does not respond to controls. The way around is to pull out the battery. And it looks like in this mode the battery power is consumed at a high rate.

Does anybody know whether a firmware update is coming? There is none on Canon's web site.
