Interesting. I didn't realize Tam and Ken were the same. Especially since their rating is quite different. And while I don't quite have a 5d mkiii today... I will tomorrow or maybe next month. So that eliminates that from consideration. That's just silly that you would ever turn off AFMA, unless you were manually focusing... ugh. Thanks for the heads up... I was leaning towards the kenko.

There used to be a note on the site that they used the same optics, but it doesn't mean the chip or housing is the same. You have to compare like series as well. Since the price is the same within $20 or so, I'd just get a Kenko. Resale value will be higher, since Tamron is often thought of as a low end brand.

The kenko is now off my radar screen... so, that's the end of that. I appreciate the response though. I know Tamron is a 3rd party lens manufacturer and their resale value isn't what it is for Canon, but I was of the opinion that their reputation was on par with Sigma. I might need to rethink that.

That 7D is a good camera but I miss so many shots because of AF I finally stopped using it. If the 7100 is accurate then that alone would sway me..

Off subject but got me to thinking. I have some Sigma screw AF lenses for Pentax mount cameras. Really good glass IMO. Really anxious to see what Pentax Ricoh has to offer in there next crop sensor camera. The rumor is it is going to be a pro level crop camera? If AF is there I will be in heaven. Being able to use my Sigma glass again...

For me AF is the main thing. I quit Pentax because of it and stopped using the 7D also. I have an old IV and it hits pretty consistently. Very happy with that camera so far. Night and day in the AF systems? Right now I am very happy with Canon gear.

Very nice. Really like the last one, the top view of the glasses

I would get the 400l. I tried two copies of the 100-400 and its soft wide open or rather yields halos around bright objects. It also interferes with AF which I found slow to start with and hunted around a lot. I missed a lot of bird in flight shots. I returned it for a 70-200 2.8l IS II with a 2xiii extender.

The 400 5.6l is pretty sharp wide open. AF is quick and it locks reasonably well with BIF provided you have enough light or high enough ISO.

Quite impressive! Love the closeup of the truck.

Too bad Canon does not license their AF controls (electronic signals) so that the Zeiss lenses can autofocus.

Win win situation. best glass (consumters), royality payments to Canon (reduce development costs), clobber Nikon on wide angles

if only ... to bad wished don't often come true

I think these are excellent - it can be pretty hard to get the ball in shot and in focus in such a fast moving sport. Number 3 is also my favourite

better off getting better glass

Hey guys, I'm curious to see if any one here has any experience with this jib, or if there's anything comparable around that price range that you have personally used? Thanks.

Hey guys thank you for all your input, I am going to go with the 15-85 and see where that takes me. Again guys thank you for all of the awesome input.

Enjoy your new camera and have fun

I'm a big fan of 7d but as you already have one, I'd suggest you get the 1d mk II N for your kit.

You get all the benefits of a 1 series body and some extra reach too when compared to your 7d.

Have fun shooting.

Hey guys, did you see this ??

I hope Canon will stay quiet because this is amazing stuff.

What kind or brand of ND gel you use? Doesn't degrade the image?

Thanks

EXIF: as above but 105mm

EXIF: 35mm, ISO 200, 1/200 sec, f10

But no sight of Pamela (no relation as far as I am aware...)

Thanks for looking

Yeah I have another version where I have the shadow going the right way. http://500px.com/photo/32143749

I've tested this on three 5D3's and the one body clearly has a problem. It has nothing to do with live simulation of exposure. Also, when shutter is pressed mechanisms appear to both work the same. So I'll send it back and hopefully I don't have to pay for anything to get it fixed.

BTW which brand of worms are those? Canon? or Nikon? ;D ;D ;D

to get the bitches

what I do want is the ability to send and image to my phone so I can share it via email or Facebook or whatever. Bluetooth in a camera should be easy... so I don't know why it isn't in there.

i'd be quite interested in seeing this in the flesh :

http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_SLR/EOS_100D/index.aspx

in theory if you stick the 40mm pancake on it you have an almost pocketable camera - sort of G1x size ?
plus you have the advantage you can pocket any of your normal favourite lenses as well

not as sleek as a iphone
only a bit bulkier than a CSC
but you can keep all your normal lenses

could this be the future size for all the Rebel / XXXd line ;D

I still can't figure out your photo, but its awesome! And I love all these puns, funny folks in this thread!

Click to expand...

Funny? Funny??? You call us funny? Bah! That is the rest of them. Not I!!!

70-200/2.8 MkI doesn't take extenders well. MkII takes the 2xII/III well, almost but not quite up to the IQ of the 100-400L.

I tried about 10 times last night. Nothing seemed to work.

Finally I gave up, removed Magic Lantern from the camera, and took the camera to the store I bought it at. They're sending it to Canon for me.

Too bad ... hope you get it back soon with the problem solved. Cheers

you could also look at the 5dmk2

Click to expand...

The 5d ii is pretty much the same price here, unfortunately. Also, not having used either, the 6d seems to be considerably better for what I need (High-ISO), the Auto Focus migh and I personally find GPS and WiFi to be really neat features (still don't understand why Canon didn't put them in the 700D). Also: I'm used to a Rebel so I'd like the Body to be as small as reasonably archievable...
Forgot to add: Wouldn't want to buy used gear and I don't think they have Refurb stuff here.

Click to expand...

They didn't put wifi/gps on the 700D so you will buy the 6D.

That being said the 6D is a great camera, especially in low light situation and you'd be able to take a lot of great photo's with just your 50mm. As far as weight goes, the 6D with a fifty on it feels almost rebel like in weight(but not build quality). If you can swing it though get the 24-105 at the same time because it most cases it's a substantial discount.

Click to expand...

Who knows, might be the reason, but then again adding these features would have been significant improvements over the 650D; as it stands now, if I were to decide on a rebel again, I would pass the 700D and go for the 650D (or even 100D, as it's cheaper and looks so cute )

Guess I'll wait for the rebates and see if there is a way to justify the 24-105. The thing is, I'm afraid it might not be good enough when I upgrade next time (in let's say 4-6 years). Maybe better save a bit more and go for the Sigma 24-70 2.8 then? Would also give me a faster lense, although I would have to add a longer prime or a 70-200 for portraits then.

@mdmphoto: The closest thing to wild life photography I did was taking pics of my dog and a few snap shots at the zoo Zero interest in birding and I don't follow any sports (although a few years down the road I might if my son would get into soccer or sth.). How many stops of ISO would you say a 6D has over say a 7D or your 50D? Thanks!
