A wonder how big of a battery waster this would be?

And you've listed 3 cameras in your "future" list that already are on market or announced.

Of course I frequently ask the wife where things are in the fridge, when it is right in front of my face. Have I misssed it, or have they not yet said whether it has AF micro adjustment?

Yes, it's said to have the same AFMA as the 5dMkIII. The 'official' product page http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_6d#Features only says this in the 'features' section under Auto Focus:

For even more customization, adjustment levels for the wide-angle and telephoto ends of particular lenses can be entered and recorded into the camera’s memory.

As far as I know, AFMA seems to be a new standard feature on all live-view capable XD specced cameras, probably XXD too if they keep coming out.

because they also think the 6D sucks? 8)

No, because the japs bought some contested islands, and the Chinese government has been teaching anti-Japanese sentiment for generations. (maybe something to do with the whole conquering attempt thing).

at the moment i don´t care.. to much dissapointment from canon this year.

i have 2500 euro sitting around for a new camera..... but i guess i spend some of it for a small travel camera..... maybe the E-PL5 or the sony RX100.

Its fantastic to see Nikon respond 4 years after the introduction of the 5D II and 7 years after the 5D.

Canon's response to the D600 is the 6D. Yeah, exactly. The 6D doesn't remotely compare to the D600.
Nikon has been kicking Canon's butt since 2007 and 2012's D800, D600 only shows Nikon pulling further ahead.

The 6D for $2100?! Canon has lost its collective mind.

Stop drinking the koolaid.

Seems to work very much like the Eye-Fi card. Wonder if it'll transfer RAW file or be limited to jpg. could be handy if hooked up to a tablet, easy way to show a client a picture perhaps.

No one has announced such a lens, it might happen, but it might not either.

use adobe bridge or lightroom
you can see thumbs and more info without any problems!

but yeah mac is much better..

No "arsenal" is complete without a powerful handgun. I suggest a .44 magnum.

Than you can successfully shoot yourself for going into wedding photography when you realize what an impossible nightmare it is.

Geez, journalism is bad enough. Do you have a real issue with masochism?

Get yourself an MBA. Become a slithery banker and steal enough money to hire people to take pictures of anything you point at.

Yes! Photography as a SECOND job is in. It is far more profitable to have a 9-5 job with salary, benefits, 401k, vacation, sick, etc. and then do photography as a second job as opposed to as your main job, where all of that has to be paid for by you. I'm not saying it can't be done, thousands of photographers are doing it obviously. But if you are new and you want life to be easier, that's why I do it as a second job.

This is especially true if you are NOT shooting for NG, SI, or you are NOT a photojournalist. If you're doing weddings and senior pictures, better to have a day job.

I guess it's a mistake they announce a new 7D on the website of Canon France

I have used a 5D for some years and NEVER had focusing issues. I now have a Mark III and my focusing is near to non existant both in manual and auto! It does focus but it is not consistant, I can't put my finger on the problem (pardon the pun). My subjucts are nearly always stationary so I have it set on one shot.

wrong forum.

The pentaprism viewfinder in the 6D is really not that important, because most 6D users will be shooting video and will use the 100% LCD viewfinder on the back of the camera 99% of the time.

MARCH 2013

where did you read this? is it your guess or a reliable rumor?

(march it's too far :-\ )

>Albi86

Two steps forward, the sensor and the lens. One step back to the past, removing the swivel screen.

I am not dumping my G11 just yet but I am not happy with the G15 Canon dumped the flipping screen. Talk about a step backwards. I just had notification the G15 will sell in the US at 499$

The Nikon P7700 is not available yet and the lens is an unknown quantity anyhow the same goes for the ƒ1.8 lens on the G15.

I am going to Japan on the 8th of October so there's no way I will be able to get my hands on a P7700 anyway so it looks like the G11 will go on it's third trip to Japan. Be very silly to buy a P7700 in haste.

Canon made the G15 smaller but at what cost, it now has to compete with all the other 'pocketable' cameras and will definitely lose out against the RX100 as it has nothing else to offer against that bigger sensor. What a disaster.

After the 6D news, I have just ordered my new toys!!! Can't wait o start using them

Canon 5d mkiii

Sigma 120-300 f.2.8 OS

Sigma 1.4 Extender

Sigma 2 x Extender

Don't tell the wife!!!

I'm wondering if the upcoming EF 200-400L is a semi-answer on the way Canon is heading in terms of wildlife photography? The way they include the 1.4X in the lens is somehow compensating for the loss of the crop factor as the mainstream bodies go full-frame, perhaps?

Maybe one day we will see a 500mm with an internal 1.4x...

Lens profiles don't come with firmware, beyond the default pre-installed set you need to load them onto the camera using EOS Utility (assuming the 24-70 II package is available, but I'm pretty sure it is if you've got the latest version of EOS Utility).

It worked with Windows

B&H has posted pages for the S110.

MARKOE PHOTOE said:

As far as model numbers are concerned, I would think that the S105 would be the next generation of this model seeing how they progressed from S95, S100, SXXX.....

I still have both of these models and just bought the Sony RX100 about a month ago from Digital Rev in China. Got to admit, the RX100 IQ is spectacular. It's fast and has many more usuable features than my beloved S100.

Now what Canon?

Click to expand...

Now what ... well, the S110 -- "progressing" from S100 -- of course...
See, e.g. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/889962-REG/Canon_PowerShot_S110_Digital_Camera.html

SwampYankee said:

I don't know about this one. The S95 didn't have a grip on the front and it was so much of an issue that there were after market grips. They added it to the S100 so I would be surprised if they are losing it one model later. I think false on this one

Click to expand...

Hmmm... I think -- on this one -- true...
Again, see (what B&H terms the "silver" version, which looks white) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/889964-REG/Canon_PowerShot_S110_Digital_Camera.html

I think an RX100 is in my future.

The 5D3 is a pro camera and as such it has some important pro features. As a pro I would buy the 5D3 over the D600. As an amateur those features are not so compelling to me, and otherwise the D600 offers me more for much, much less.

Well, to be fair, crApple has played the same Canon game ("pay more for less") and it hasn't stopped the bandwagoneering, carpetbagging stock market analysts to continue to pump&dump their shares in anticipation of blockbuster sales numbers. Unfortunately for Canon, the consumers in this gadget segment aren't as tech-ignorant.

The problem is that Apple products are everyday tools that might make you look cool in everyday life. High-end cameras are addressed to people who have higher expectations in terms of output, and showing off only works with people knowing what an L lens is.

Is this a serious post?

I was just going through my cameras and checking settings using EOS Utility. I noticed that there are no selections for the III series Extenders in the Lens Aberration Correction settings for the 7D. But, there are listings for the III series Extenders for the 1D X and 5D Mark III. Curious.....

I only bought mine in January of this year, so it's one of the last manufactured (date code: UZ11xx so Nov 2011) and I would not accept one cent less than 1250 euros for it cos' Harvey Norman have it for €1599 In Stock and nobody else in Ireland has it new. I saw only one advert this summer (and I've been checking every day) and it was a 7-year old Studio copy (being sold by a Pro) and he was insisting on €1300 No offers!

I know the supply and price is different Stateside but these lenses will likely become highly sought after. There are eBay sellers in South Korea looking for 1599 (before import taxes etc.) for the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM mark I!

Bottom line: don't sell yourself short, advertise with a high figure then be prepared to come down 100-150 bucks, or, alternatively put it up on eBay with 'No Reserve' - you will easily get 4 figures for it.
