Is there a way to attach a USB stick directly to a 1DX or 5DIII and copying jpegs to it?

I'd love to be able to shoot RAW, do in camera RAW conversion, copy straight to USB stick ... Hand stick over ... No PC in the loop.

This is for very specific situation when clients/journalists/editors are screaming for a quick pic.

Just trying to kill time, came across this video.

How does the 1dmk2 or 1dmk2n stand up to current bodies these days?


I have my eyes set on the 5dmk3 already, but I've always wanted a pro-body. I currently shoot with a 60D.

I've seen plenty of 1dmk2's listed anywhere between $400 to $1000. The $400 price tag for a pro body is really tempting.

Would it be worth it to get the 1dmk2 for $400 just to have a pro body? I'd probably end up using it for sports seeing as the 60D's fps and af system doesn't really cut it sometimes.

I have been shooting with the 7D since it was released and now I am thinking of moving to a FF. From what I gather the 5D MII was a stellar camera and in may ways it still is. The question I want to ask... if the Mark III is an upgrade to the features that were lacking on the Mark II shouldn't it preform better?

I shoot as a hobby and my photos consists mostly of Macro and Landscape. From some of the comments I have read here suggest that the Mark III will suck at those 2 things (not my words).

I have sold my 7D and all my lenses in preparation for upgrading and getting some quality lenses. The only hesitation is my 580 EX II, I would have to sell. I am at a crossroads, I have both bodies on pre-order and I should get them both this upcoming week (D800 has an arrival date of the 22nd no date on the 5D yet). I don't have any Nikon lenses yet but I will be borrowing one to test the D800 with.

Don't get me wrong I love Canon, I have been shooting with one or another for about 5 years now, there is a service center about 5 miles from where I live and I drop it off every 6 months or so for a sensor cleaning. I like that option instead of shipping it somewhere.

Having said that... where does someone who just enjoys photography choose? I love the specs like the next person but in reality do I care about the high ISO? Nope... doubt I will use it a lot. I just want clean, crisp photos. (

I bought a 5DMKII this week after months of waiting. I couldnt take it any longer and I just cant wait any longer for the price to drop. So I bought it. With a battery grip.

WHAT A RELIEF!!!!! WOOOSAAAaaaa! Amazing camera. For people who are waiting for a good price for the 5DMKII I feel for you guys. But Im glad I did it. Everyday was making me unhappy.

I'm too much of an amateur to tell from the specs which is better for landscape photography.

I've read multiple posts on various sites that the D800 is better.

If you wanted to just do landscape photography, in a variety of environments, for the purpose of selling framed prints, selling cards, and entering contests, can you tell just by looking at the specs which one is better?

Thanks! I'll go back to my T1i now. But I'm going to buy one of the two.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I'm new to photography. I got my first DSRL, a Rebel XSI about 4 yrs ago when it first came out. I never really got into shooting, but for the occasional events, gatherings and vacations. I've recently become much more interested in photography and wants to become more serious. I've recently took a local 9 sessions introduction to photography course and have been shooting a lot more. Months ago, I've flirted with getting a 5D Mark ii previously but when I heard rumors of the Mark iii, I decided to wait. Now that the Mark iii is released, but with a price I don't want to spend just yet, I'm wondering what I should do and thought inputs from more well versed photographers like yourselves will definitely help.

Should I buy a 5D mark ii (would like to explore full frame), 5D mark iii, or keep shooting with the Rebel. I'm more interested in still photography, mainly landscapes (vacations), portraits, & if ever good enough, weddings.

As for lens, I have 4. I just bought the 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. I've been using the Rebel kit lens, EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II; EF 50mmf/1.8 II; and a Tamron 18-270 f/3.5-6.3

If you suggest I get a new body, should I add more lens? Your input is much appreciated. Thanks!

Why hasn't Canon made a wide angle lens with IS?

Hi folks,
I have a 5DmkII I bought in 2010 and have very much enjoyed. I planned on getting a second body and using the 5DmkII as a backup, but the lineup doesn't do much for me. I plan on getting a 1D one day - maybe 2012 would be the year - but they went for low pixels and high shutter. Exact opposite of what would entice me. Arguments on whether more pixels are actually needed aside, I know that I don't need more then a few frames per second, so while this is a great camera I'm just not enticed.

Likewise for the 5DmkIII, or the 3D as I like to think of it. Here I'm getting socked with a much higher price, and while there are a lot of great features nothing stands out, especially given the price.

Pro body upgrades are few and far between, how many years will I likely have to wait until the next product cycle? Seems like 3-4 years? If so having a five year old body might start to get pretty old, especially if they don't upgrade the 5DmkII firmware for the latest 600EX-RT features.

PS. I'm happy to fill out my lenses, flashes and other stuff in the meantime, but I'm concerned about being hobbled by my body in a few years and being stuck.

Hi everyone on CR.
I've been following this site for over a year, watching for rumors of the 5D mkIII.

Now it's time to get the new 5DmkIII and of this, I'm going to sell and reinvest in some new lenses.
Currently I have

5D mkII
7D
(soon 5D mkIII)

Lenses
Canon 24-70/2.8
Canon 70-200/2.8 IS II
Samyang 8mm
Sigma 85/1.4
Canon 50/1.8

I've tried a Nikon D3X with a 200/2.0 and it completely blew away my 5D mkII and 70-200 at 2.8. I've tried 2 bodies and 2 lenses, Non was even close when wide open (compared to the 200/2.0 fully open aswell).

I've come to the situation when Im about to switch from zoom-lenses to prime lenses with a fixed length.

My options are as I see it:
24/1.4
35/1.4
50/1.4 (or 50/1.2)
85/1.2 (or 50/1.8)
100 IS (macro I will get due to the macro posibility)
135/2.0

My first thought is to get:
5D mkII with 35/1.4
5D mkIII with 135/2.0
+ 50/1.4
+ 85/1.2 ?

And to sell every other lens exept the 70-200/2.8 II IS

But then I wont have any more wide angle anymore than the 35mm.
Any tips on how to do? What would you do? What do you have?

Best regards
Fredrik

I've got a 60d and might upgrade to another body sooner or later. Having used the af system of the 60d - which is the same of the 40d/50d afaik - for over a year I am wondering what's the much praised af systems of the 7d or 5d(3)/1d are actually good for. Imho the 60d hasn't got a working af, but rather a "focus helper", but it works ok for static objects with a little recomposing. For moving objects, it does track them, but choose "servo af" is all you can customize.

Obviously, more expensive af systems have better low light capability, higher precision and higher speed. But apart from that...

* What features of the "pro" af systems really do make the difference for you? Can I tell the af to constantly backfocus so I have the eyes of a portrait in focus instead of the nose? Do these af systems remember which (part of a) moving object is tracked even if obscured from time to time?

With all the stink about megapixels lately, I thought I'd put together a quaint little test. Some of these are product shots I took for editorial clients with my 10 megapixel G7 point-and-shoot. The rest aren't my shots, but they're of similar engine parts taken with a 39 megapixels medium format Phase One P45. I read a post today where someone said they'd be happy with the 5DIII if it had at least 25 megapixels instead of 22, so apparently every last MP counts, but does it really?

And please don't cheat by looking at the exif data. I tried to erase it the best I can, but there might be some giveaways to the camera's identities nonetheless. At any rate, I've numbered each image 1-7, so try to guess which images was taken with the G7, and which one was taken by the Phase One

If you look closely enough, you can spot a difference between the G7 and Phase One images. However, I'd argue that a lot of that has to do with differences in technique. My point-and-shoot shots were taken using nothing more than natural light and some white poster board whereas the Phase One images were taken in a studio with fancier equipment. I don't know how fancy, because they aren't my shots and I wasn't there, but considering that they were commission by a rather large mega-budget corporation, it's safe to say they had the means to spend a lot more money than my editorial clients. I'll reveal who the unidentified corporation is later, but don't want to yet as it might give a clue as to which shots came from which camera.

Before anyone cries foul, is there any way I can upload the high-res files somewhere for download, if anyone cares to pixel peep? I can upload them onto my website's lightbox, but I have to invite people via e-mail.

I have a 60d, 17-55 2.8 efs, 15-85mm, 430exII.

I need more focus points for taking pictures of my young active twins in the house and on vacations. I just want the best quality pictures and was thinking of either getting the 7d or the new 5d mkiii. I need more focus points and better low light iso. I like natural light pics not everything to have flash. If I bought the 5d I would only be able to get one lens and probably the kit but is it too much for me or would anyone have any other suggestions. I am not pro but seem to be the family photographer at all events and parties. I just want to make sure the 5d is the right move or a new lens. (budget within reason under $5k)

Ok, so, maybe this belongs in another forum, but it's not really for stills or video. Still, it has a whole 4GB of pixel packing storage!

I read the following (BLUE PARAGRAPH)

If you also think this is rubbish, fill out a Canon online contact form and tell them, maybe they will do something about, they activated the F8 autofocus for the 1DX didnt they? Maybe there is still hope.

Hi all,

I sure could use your advise. I currently own a 300d. I have used it for many years and have loved it, have made numerous shots with it. However, startup is slow, screen is small, and AF is not great (specifically on moving objects). I am ready to upgrade...

I should tell you that I am very much on a budget (and my wife keeps reminding me over and over....). With that in mind, I am doubting between the 600d and a second-hand 7d. The 600d is smaller and lighter, has a swivel screen and is cheaper (still quite a bit cheaper than a second hand 7d). The 7d has better AF and gets raving reviews everywhere....

My target is travel/street, children and occasionally some wildlife (birds). I own the 28-105 (as all round lens), the 75-300 4-5.6 (for the occasional wildlife, but also for portraits) and the 18-55 kit lens. Again, I am on a budget....

Your advice is very much appreciated. Is it worth spending more on a second hand 7d, or should I simply get the 600d (with the limited quality lenses that I own in mind), brand new?

Another option is to wait for the 650d. I need the camera before my holiday in July, and would like to own it a month or two beforehand to get used to it... But with the scarce rumours on the 650d, will it be there in time?

Thanks!

Hi,

I read many many many posts about people possibly or not buying or selling their glass since they 'might' go FF one day. For some it is an eventuality and for others it is a possibility. The 5D3 seemed to push quite a few shooters over the edge but as a happy 1.6er on a 7D and a mix of L and EF-s glass I am content to stay cropped.

I was wondering how many out there are in my shoes. I buy so I can shoot both 1.6 and EOS film. I have an Elan 7 which I love and can use all my lenses save the 10-22. Recently I found I wanted a not too wide lens which was compact, light, inexpensive and fit the bill for family travel. I have had a variety of primes in the past and ALMOST decided on the Siggy 30 1.4 but my film desires told me not to let another lens into my bag that doesn't go both ways. I decided on an oldie but goodie which I had once, and used at that, the EF 35 f/2. I bought a new copy this time . The '56' FL isn't too tight indoors and is a great snapshot length with kids and while out and about ala Disneyland etc.

Who else buys for film and digital and what do you shoot with?

I'm currently looking for a general zoom that i can use for landscapes and a bit of portrait and general shooting. I'll be getting it on a 5d2 soon, but i will try to mainly shoot landscapes. i have already invested on 77mm filters so please don't advice a 16-35 or a 24-70II(Which is out of my budget). i have been shooting with a 7D for my landscapes with a 10-22, and was wondering if which of the lenses i stated will have an advantage on landscapes? also please rule out 17-40 cause i only have 1 EF lens atm, 70-200II. Thanks! ;D ;D ;D

I just thought I'd share with you lovely folks here:

After wasting countless excellent hours on this forum, I finally got an account. And now, I have something to brag about! I just bought my very own 7D. *sigh of happiness* I love it! I upgraded from an EOS 550D after lusting for the 15-85 kit lens that comes with the 7D, decided that I had gotten enough out of my trusty T2i, and sold my dear old Rupert (that's my T2i), and used that shameful money to fund my 7D. It's fantastic!

That's just my two cents. Happy to finally be part of the CR community!!

Since MTF Charts are from the center of the lens to the outer edges and Canon usually shows their lenses out to about 22mm from center, am I right in assuming that a FF sensor (36mm across) would only be applicable to about the 18mm portion of the MTF chart, and a crop sensor, say the 7D's 22.3mm, would be applicable on the chart to the area just above 11mm?

I've included a mock up, shown in the attached image, where the red line would indicate the edge of the 7D's sensor, and the green line the outer edge of a full frame sensor. I'm just wondering if my understanding of this is correct, and that the 7D is using a much more uniform part of the lens than a FF sensor.

First post here.

1. How do I change the local time? I do not see the option in preferences.
2. I just got off the phone with Amazon. Long story short, I was told that the 5DM3 that I preordered on March 2nd was scheduled to ship on March 19th and arrive on March 20th.

Alright so I have a Canon 28 135 that came with my 50D kit. I never used it too much due to it not being wide enough. I just got a Canon 5D mark II with the 24 105 lens though which means it's a much more useful range. My question is this, which should I stick with? I've tried selling the 28 135 and nobody seems to want to buy it for more than $220 when it's like a $350 lens. I'm mainly planning to use the lens for weddings and portrait sessions and so my thought with the 24 105 is that yes I know it's a better lens than 28 135 but I don't want to keep it and then ALSO end up buying the original 24 70. For a walk around lens I kind of like the 28 135 better as it's lighter easier to work with and I pretty much know the 24 105 isn't going to have a wide enough aperture for most wedddings. I think that's what I'm ultimately going to end up with but before I sell the 24 105 for $850 today I thought I'd get some opinions on whether it's really worth keeping the 24 105. Thanks.
