I find it disturbing that so many want to shut down debate and discussion.

The discussion has been fair and not in the least bit out-of-hand. Life is controversial. Get over it.

That said, I fully expect this thread to get shut down. Censorship is beloved on this forum.

It's not about what is said, it's about where the discussion is held. A non-political gear rumors site has a right to remain non-political and civil.

There are thousands of websites to discuss politics endlessly.

Other than either spreading unsubstantiated accusations and generating speculation, what is the point of the thread? What information was provided by the OP or any who followed that informs customers of the validity of claims made by a union looking for leverage going into a battle with B&H?

We don't know what efforts the reporter made to get B&H's side of the story. The "several attempts" could have been a few phone calls during a lunch hour.

The OP, just based on a one-sided story, has told us he/she is going to reconsider doing business with B&H. ahsanford, did you email B&H with your concerns?

All of these aspects, the flashpoints, the bias of the people telling their story as part of a union campaign, and, sadly, the source of the story, make this a political thread.

If CR wants political threads, fine--just restrict them to the appropriate sub-forums.

My pizza is so big I can throw away half of it without sacrificing any food.

Perhaps a better analogy would be that my garden is so large that I can more easily pick the prettiest flowers to use.

That name, TonerPirate is certainly going to catch Canon's eye. As CR Guy knows, Canon's attorneys can latch on to even a innocent site like Canon Rumors and make life hell. A smaller business advertising as being a pirate hasn't a chance.

I wish they would shut down the ebay and Amazon pirates.

At $600 it's more expensive than a Sony A6000 which is $500 on Amazon right now.

And even with it's higher price, the Canon doesn't have a viewfinder, doesn't have a hotshoe, it has a slower kit lens, and only has 18MP.

Sorry, but what is Canon thinking?

Click to expand...

Actually, this competes more with sony's A5100 which has the same sensor and focus system of the A6000 but no viewfinder and a slimmer flip screen body. The A5100 is $400, while the M10 is a rebadged M2 with a sensor from 2 generations ago at $600.

Seriously canon???

A5100 is body only at 400, 550 with lens (Amazon). M10 is kit only.

Dear all,

I am looking into buying an A3+ printer. Has anyone any comments to make about a sub-Pixma-PRO printers?
The printer PIXMA iP8750 is a good deal cheaper than the PIXMA PRO 100S and it comes with 6-ink system, i.e. besides the text black has the usual CMYK plus a gray ink, so it is better than the standard office-inkjets, but it lacks the light-magenta and light cyan inks the pixma pro 100 ueses. (Obviously, a pigment-based printer would be better still)

Do you consider the print quality of this iP8750 sufficient or inacceptable?
Does the pixma pro 100s offer a better print quality that justifies its higher price?

Will be interesting to see how well MF lenses sell in the face of the Batis line.

Canon had a 28-200 EF lens back in 2003, when I got my 300D, but it lacked IS & I never read any good reviews on the lens. This new lens, if it comes out, will definitely need IS.

That's right, there were two, both introduced in 2000:

EF28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 and EF28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM

I definitely see a market for an new 28-200, but with IS like you said.

9VIII · Oct 12, 2015

The 200-500 also costs 13.55% as much as the new Nikon 500f4E.

Or you could say the 500mm prime costs 737% as much as the 200-500.

Or if you use a crop camera, you could say you're getting a 750mm equivalent for 7.8% the cost of the 800f5.6E

good luck with the 9AF points lol

Ha! Thanks for catching that. I corrected my post. I meant 5DIII.

wockawocka · Oct 12, 2015

Hey folks. I decided to buy a Zacuto EVF and it's fab for dealing with a missing tilt screen but I can't seem to find on the camera or in the user guide anything about mirroring the LCD over HDMI.

I know the 5D3 has this function and wondered if it's been removed from this one? Or is there a super secret way of accessing the menu.

I tried up, down, left, right, A, B , C and Start but nothing happened.

I just love the sound of this rumor!!!! I own one of their lenses for my MFT system...and it is an incredible lens. I like their approach. To photography and they "most times" create quality lenses....Iwould definitely be intrigued to see what they come up with as a digital camera body...I am thinking FF...right?....BRING IT ON!!!

Mick · Oct 11, 2015

Bad news, mine has developed this fault. Picked it up, tried to start it up but nothing happening. New Canon battery, nope still wont start. Shame as otherwise its been excellent. Guess this can happen to anything. Of to Canon CPS tomorrow. Fingers crossed its nothing to bad.

Today I have purchased my Otus 55 ZF.2. Interestingly, the seller admitted he had only used the lens on a sony mirrorless body and never tried to fit the novoflex adapter that he sold together with the lens.

To our surprise, the novoflex adapter did not fit on the Zeiss ZF.2. It matches the lens bayonet, but when turning the adapter to click it in place it stops at about 20 to 30 % of the amount of rotation needed to click it in place.

It is the original Novoflex adapter and mechanically, everything looks fine. The seller gave me additional discount because of this, so I took the 'risk'. Any suggestions / ideas?

Edit: I do realize that Nikon bayonet turns the "wrong" way compared to Canon, so that is not the cause

Update: for some reason, when the aperture ring on the lens is set to f/16, it clicks in place smoothly ;D
Why does it matter?

Bdube · Oct 10, 2015

The 11-24 has very well corrected distortion - about 1.2% at infinity. High distortion is just a product of using a small test chart at close range and the center being physically closer than the edges (=change in magnification = distortion).

The 11-24 is limited by coma / astigmatism, while most lenses that are labeled as having "coma" actually suffer from astigmatism and oblique sagittal spherical aberration. It does provide an excellent level of correction, however.

Sounds a lot like what I went through a while ago, http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=18743.0 , ended with a new shutter assembly, mirror box and focusing sensor.

Good luck,

Hi Chris, how much did it cost you in the end? I have a similar issue with a dropped 5DIII. It'd be nice to know the worse case scenario before I put it into Canon UK.

So to give you all the info, I signed up for CSP, dropped the camera off in L.A. for repair, they emailed me with a quote to replace the shutter assembly and mirror box, I complained, they ignored me, I told them to fix it, my wife got involved and she has 15k Twitter followers, Canon emailed her to have me email them, they said they would look into it and did, the adjusted total went from $900 to $300 and then they tell me the focusing assembly needed (past tense) to be replaced but we will not charge you and then I had a good working camera.

Or the simple answer, $369.20

Good luck,

Chris

"Very good high ISO performance – probably the best in the industry"

There is 12MP with 35mm sensor that can see things in the dark and the price tag is about $2-3K

crashpc · Oct 10, 2015

rs exactly. But don´t tell me.

You will propably be able to fine tune the look of the image to make it look as the same image taken by another camera. But it takes some work, and propably selective retouching. But you cannot paste these setting on next image. And that´s absolutely problem people are crying about.

Various companies looking at the books and then NOT buying usually means that there is a fundamental and nearly insoluble problem.

To me it sounds like a poisonous cocktail of sharply decreasing market from above, an 5Ds(R) eating them from below, an owner who likely to want a lot for the Hasselblad name.

Even if you collected all the MF/LF companies into one, would you be able to make a sustainable business?
Even Canon and Nikon is getting pushed hard from the cellphones.

I understand what you mean, but for me, the question is, should we ask for or do we need more critical/negative reviews that emphasize every negative aspect of a lens, big or small? I'm not so sure. Now, focusing issues are a big deal, I think, compared to for example vignetting at wide open apertures. I really do want to know everything about usability issues that prevents me from getting the shot, and that can't be solved in post. Therefore, I think it is important to emphasize such issues.

TDP sure isn't my only source of information. I use photozone a lot and many reviews on YouTube, but I always get back to TDP to get the more balanced and thorough view.
