I guess there are different people and they use cameras different ways
Nothing wrong with it. Just somehow when I did play with 5D Mark III it was way different from 5D Mark II, especially on the auto focus side. Light is light, iso is iso, all that stuff is the same but until I got a grip on the AF I had some issues. So I wanted to play with it to figure it out and get familiar with it. The same will be with 1DX when I will finaly get it. Will certainly be trying it out and try to learn and get familiar with it. Maybe I am just a big kid and love to play with my toys ))

Well one thing's for sure: you're going to love it.

maybe you should get a tripod that has smaller footprint. or a tripod that can go vertically higher, while using 2 sections of the legs?

Good stuff..

Hi, there!!! I want to know how much an event company charge for organizing an corporate event in san francisco . I have been looking for event organizer but they are asking high prices as compared to other marketing company. So, any suggestion for low cost event space.

san francisco venues

I have done several panoramics with my 645d and the 120 macro (96mm 35mm equivalent). Some of them are huge files bearing in mind the 645d's 40 mp sensor. Many are too big to be saved as tiff files. My largest single amp is 6gb. The macro resolves very high.

They are telling everyone on their Twitter account.

Sometimes I hate technology when it is used like that! Using something like twitter or FB to promote something and not putting it on their own website!

The other day was chatting to someone who asked why I did not attend a certain event. I had not received an invite, and knew nothing about it. He told me that I had been invited on facebook.

As I do not go to FB everyday, nor pay much attention to the invitations there when I do, I did not find out about it.

Why that company felt FB was better than an email I do not know.

Anyway, great news for those in Canada!

cheap mics= crap.

You wan't to hire if you can't justify buying decent mics.

I use Sennheiser EW112's. Not cheap, but not the most expensive. Have mini-jack or XLR connect to camera. Compact head. Good SNR etc.

Wireless mics may not be the best thing for the job. More often than not I close mic with a rifle mic on a stand.
Again, good mics aren't cheap. I use a sennheiser K6-ME66 combo, and also a Rode NTG-2, the Rode is excellent for the money. Both these mics are better used with XLR connects, either into a beachtek or juicedlink, or as some prefer, into a zoom or tascam.

Cameras offer great results for the cash and decent audio gear often seems very expensive in comparison, but 99% of picture problems can be solved with software, poor audio will always mean a poor production: you should notice great pictures, if the audio is good then you won't notice it, which is what you want.

Audio will always betray a lack of production values.

Sorry to bang on and on, but you get the drift. You don't need deep pockets, just a clue about what you are doing and a local hire shop. Don't buy the azdens. Absolute false economy.

Thanks R1D7. Before my 5DM3 I was using a 7d and i hated low light photography. Now i love it. Coupled with a couple of Sub F2.0 primes, its amazing!

I believe you need to turn OFF the AF on this lens as it is not a FTM (full time manual focus) lens. There should be a small switch on the lens itself that goes between AF and MF.

Click to expand...

Hey, I know that much! I'm dumb, but I ain't that dumb.

What I think happened was when I put on the lens hood, the lens became somewhat loose or something. I took it off and put it back on (the lens) and the sound went away and everything focuses fine.

Anyone know where to find the audio metering in the menus? It has audio metering, right?

Click to expand...

Ah, ok. Just checking.

No clue, it may. You'll have to check in the menu. Oh, hey, it came with a manual, right? Try reading the manual

Click to expand...

hmmm i was just checking on the FTM thing

http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/06/08/Canon-creates-EF-S-18-135mm-F3-5-5-6-IS-STM-EF-40mm-F2-8-STM

they say here it is FTM for stills

That's cool, didn't know that about the shorty forty. I gotta get me one of those. I've heard it's pretty darn good quality, and for $200 it's a good buy.

In better light, this was the Division II 3200 meter run.

Is there a Camera Lens Rental website that uses Paypal?

As the title suggests, :-[

I agree there are too many chiefs and not enough indians on these forums. No offense to Native Americans. I wanted to see examples of shots that could benefit from better DR, or that demonstrated what DR could do. I guess my strategy got thrown out the window. Or did it get vomited into 8 pages? You be the judge...

Click to expand...

I think you find that my last picture would have needed more DR due to the very bright contrast. My picture demonstrates how to avoid needing a much higher DR sensor

Yep, The 1Dx is 4 stops better ISO performance that my 7D. I looked at the review on CR and this camera is amazing piece of kit.

Click to expand...

... an costs 4x more. 1dx performs twice ISO better than 5d3 and costs 2x more. Interesting correlation.

See my unhappy report here: http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=7114.105

Thanks, Dil, though I really wasn't looking for a critique. There are forums elsewhere for that.

Hi,
I heard back from Haehnel again. This was the answer:

Q:
The 5D MKIII has a movie start/stop button, but also has a feature where the shutter release button
can be mapped to the "Movie Shoot Button" as well. But I couldn't get this to work with the Giga,
therefore I had been wondering if other setting were required aswell?

A:
Yes, the 5D MK III has this function and it will allow start/stop video via any of the remote controls.

So the problem seems to be at my end somewhere. Anyway thanks very much to Haehnel for answering,
very good customer service IMHO.

Cheers Brian

I wonder if the code it uses has been selected such that the camera will turn on all of the 2.8 dual cross type auto focus sensors?

Click to expand...

This was just discussed in another thread: http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=7246

In short: Yes, the 137 lens code should activate all double-cross af sensors (with the possible loss of af speed), but the question is if there was a reason besides marketing for Canon to only enable the central one for the 24-70mk1 like loss of sharpness in mid-frame which shouldn't occur on the expensive 24-70mk2.

For sports, the 7D is the way to go...

Click to expand...

Agree with this, especially if you're after FPS.

However, for better low light (high ISO) performance a 5D2 would be better, but you don't get the FPS. Depends on your priorities. Decisions, decisions!

Click to expand...

with 5D III you can do both sports(6fps) + night photography. Yes - little pricy ;D

Click to expand...

True. I guess the reason I miss the 7D is for the 1.6x crop factor. Imagine being at a track meet with poor seating and no press pass with a 300mm f/4L lens on a 1D4. Pretty good, yes. But 480mm vs. 390mm does give that extra reach, in those cases.

The tape fix is permanent. No reason to do anything different, its a commonly used process throught the photography world. Sometimes they use a fancy name like light baffle, but its always just a piece of plastic or paper.

Or Premier ABS Light Blocker

It seems the Hybrid AF is a nice try by Canon but no cigar. I will stick with manual focus for now. Although, the T4i is an excellent still image DSLR with all the upgrades almost like a Canon 60D in a smaller package.

I talk more about it in my recent photoblog post here...

http://www.chadsorianophotoblog.com/2012/06/canon-eos-rebel-t4i-verdict-and-video.html

Thanks.

I guess it's the waiting game to see if it does come down in price... All I'm looking for it the 5D Mark II Body.

don't bother expecting much. it is the same old video processor with all the old problems.

lol so now he is "honest" because he is trying to get you to buy the more expensive camera so that he gets more comission from his link? Ken has and is pro nikon, and not even the nikon guys take him seriously. It is like listening to the ramblings of old men who have gone crazy. This is the guy that was rambling about the death of digital and raise of film just recently.

why do you even pay attention to that clown.

if you want to read opinions about these two cameras, head over to much cooler heads

This is KR, people. Yesterday, the clear winner was the D800, and tomorrow it might be again.

Click to expand...

exactly. He does this EVERY release cycle to give fools what they want to read so they buy it using his links. Look it up. He was in love with the D3 and D700. pushed them as much as he could. then when everybody fell for them, he started pushing the canons. Then some new crop format camera comes out and suddently blows every FF out of the water, now that IS the best and he rambles about nonsense like

"only pixel peepers use full frame, real photographers know crop is where it is at".

between cycles he pushes film as the next big thing.

you see, rockwell doesn't really care about what is actually the better purchase. Rockwell cares that you are told what you want to hear so you buy using his links. 8)
