Hey!

Do you think that with this 5Diii coming around, Canon will keep on updating the 5Dii?

I had read somewhere (rumor, probably) that they were waiting for the 7D to sell and age before releasing a firmware that'd allow, for example, 60fps video shooting on the 5D.

I know some third party firmware allow that (though, i'm not to confident in going for non-canon options).

Do you guys have any info/thoughts on that?

I am going to guess that they are doing 1080 60/50p.

I'd love if it was clean hdmi out though.
I shoot mostly 720 50p anyway as most of my stuff ends up on the web.

There's a huge amount of rumoured specs on the forum about the forthcoming 5DMK3 but very little about Thunderbolt connectivity. I seem to recall Canon making an announcement a year ago about the possibility of using this technology but it seems to have gone silent since then. Can we assume it won't be on the new 5DMK3?

Feb 29, 2012

I have been following the huge amount of discussion about the 5D MkIII, but that camera is out of my price range. So how about the T4i? I haven't heard much about it except for it will be released soon (maybe Friday) and it might have a different lens.

How about the T4i? Let's have a discussion for those of us with thinner wallets. Guesses at specs? Upgrades from the T3i? Dreams and wishes?

Feb 29, 2012

What do people think will be the best feature or outcome of the release of the 5DIII?

Even better than any potential increase in dynamic range, will be the end to the incessant postings asking "should I buy a 5DII or wait for the 5DIII". I figure that we likely have 6 months of quiet repose before people start to ask whether they should wait for the 5D4.

Feb 29, 2012

Seems like a lot of you guy/girls are just here for fun. I've read many people say "my wife says no"? You're a grown ass man asking your wife for allowance, what a same.

Hi everyone,

I'd really like to get some sort of seamless background studio going when I get my tax return. I have a rough idea of the end result but triggers, which strobes, stands, and accessories are a challenge to find cheap and yet reliable.

I'd like to ideally get this:

Gear List:
4 Strobes (prefered) OR 2 strobes and 2 sources of constant white light that I can apply gels too.
a seamless white background
the necessary stands for the paper roll, strobes
1 transmitter and 3 receivers
2 peices of white tile board for reflection and base.
Softbox
Grids for key lighting.

I was looking at photoflex triggers (look like rf602's) or Cactus V5s. Strobes were the Photoflex Starfires http://www.photoflex.com/Pro_Products/Accessories/StarFire_trade___digital_flash/index.htm.

Any opinions would be great. I have about 1300-1450 to play with, less is obviously better. Maybe I only need 3 strobes and one from above the background to illuminate it.

Here is my quick paint mock up attached.

I hope this is feasible, I'd really like to do some strobe work, and I've seen some inspiring photos done with it. As well, the strobes would help with things like snowboarding photos. I'll save longer if it's not able to be done properly with my given budget, I'd rather start off right and have gear that will last me.

Thanks for looking

This is sorta the inverse of the 'why so much hate for VDSLRs' thread, since it got me wondering.. why so much hate for dedicated still cameras?

In general the people asking for a stills-only camera are not suggesting multimedia cameras shouldn't exist, they just want something optimized for their use case.. so why is this so offensive, or why are people so defensive about their preferred combination of features?

Is it really that threatening to have other choices on the market? Does it really have to be all or nothing? Is it insecurity or fear that if Canon produces both types that they will no longer cater to the needs of videographers? Is it begin threatened that other use cases have a voice which leads to less of their own? Is it riding the high of being a major design focus and not wanting it to end? Is it simply discomfort at being reminded that there are more types of photography and thus their one twue way might not be the type of the market? Is it techno elitism and the ego bruising that goes along with that (anyone who follows slashdot can see what happens when someone *gasp* does not see the obvious greatness in someone's favorite tech..)?

I am really curious why people seem to feel it is so important that their market segment eradicate another, and that space can not be shared.

I figured I'd save everybody some time and valuable internet space by going ahead and opening up this thread.

Beginning tomorrow night all those who are disappointed because Canon did not create a 5DIII to their personal specifications and offer it at $1,500 can lodge their complaints here, on one handy thread, instead of having to start their own personal complaint thread.

By opening this thread now, it will also allow persons to begin the whining before the Mark III is officially announced.

On Saturday, this can be followed by the "Should I buy the Mark III or Wait for the Mark IV?" thread.

clicstudio · Feb 29, 2012

Here is a little comparison based on Pixel Size and Actual Photoshop Percentage between 6 Cameras.
Pixel size doesn't really say anything. 16MP vs 32MP is not really double the size. What matter is the actual percentage in Photoshop to make the image reach the next MP size.
As you can see in the chart, there is a 15% increase from 16MP to 22MP. A percentage that won't ruin your image if you want to make it a little bigger... Now, a full 50% enlargement will introduce artifacts, noise and blur to your image, so you probably won't want to do that...

I do believe in per-pixel quality and noise levels but if you are a studio photographer who shoots at ISO 50 or 100 most of the time, you probably don't care and want 50% more Megapixels to play with. I do see the fact that the Nikon D4 is going to cost double the D800 and have less than half the MP so there has to be something there to make it better but if u want raw huge files the D800 will be the winner no matter how you see it.

I have a Manfrotto Rig, thats capable for a reasonable price, but on hikes it's a chore to lug around. I am thinking of getting one of these and seems like a great price : http://www.adorama.com/BG682B234RC.html It has a adjustable head that uses the same base plate as my current tripod, so I am already bought into the product line...

Have any of you use these free standing monopods? What are your experiences?

I plan to use it as a hiking aid as well as for self portraits while hiking.

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking at upgrading from a great 15 year old aluminum monopod, and I have two questions.

1. A while back, carbon fiber became the next great thing, offering advantages in weight, strength, and/or rigidity. Does anyone see something on the horizon that would be as major of a leap as carbon fiber or do we have at least another 5/10 years of continuing minor improvements?

2. I saw a device a while back that was basicly a thing that attaches to the bottom of the camera via the tripod mount. It contains a string/wire and that wire has a little paddle on it. The idea was you step on the paddle, pull the camera up to the desired height, lock off the spool of string/wire, and you have something that gives similar stability to a monopod in an even more portable form. Can anyone point me to one of these things? And if you happen to have some experience with one...what was your opinion?

Thanks!

I don't understand the language, but I'm assuming D800 samples reduced to 1600px. If this is the best this camera can do at ISO 1600+, the 5D MkII has nothing to fear let alone the Mk III!

In the last month or so everybody is speaking only about the 5D3/X.... there are any viable rumors about the 7D replacement? lets face it 7D is a 3 years old camera ( its time to be upgraded). From what i can see from the latest 5D photos, the camera is called 5D3 (not X) , logical that means is not a combination between 5D and 7D series.

I'm 99% sure that canon will not discontinue the 7D series build quality and features regardless that is called 7D mk2 or 70D.

Hi
Just ordered 2 1DX bodies from Martin's Cameras in the UK: £4,995.00 (including VAT) Has anyone found any cheaper stores?

The impending 5DIII announcement is driving some people stir crazy, and it looks like one or two people need to take a trip down to the pharmacy and buy a bottle of chill pills

As other people have already said, this is a rumour site, otherwise it would be called canonfacts.com. Until an anouncement is made we are all just guessing, no mater what our sources say. But dont worry, Friday will soon be here and then we will know the facts about the the rumours

.

I can guarantee that there is nobody more eagerly awaiting the 5DIII anouncement than me. I have been using a 40D for some years and I have already taken the decision to go full body this year. I am very very excited about the idea. I have the cash and I am just itching to spend it. Hopefully my next camera will be a 5DIII but if the price is too high then I should be able to benefit from a massive price reduction of the 5DII and that is the reason I am waiting and hoping for some news sooner rather than later.

But, hey, lets keep a grip on reality. At the end of the day we all have the comon interest of making images. And, whatever happens on Friday, we will all still be able to take photos on Saturday. I think its all to easy to take technology for granted.

It is so easy to have the mistaken belief that the next bit of amazing technology is the one thing that will make the difference to our images. I have been there, done that, got the T'shirt and taken the photos. In reality the biggest difference between a good image and an amazing one is the human being pressing the shutter release. The very best technology currently available today to help us take better photos are the eye, the brain and imagination.

For those approaching fever pitch I would suggest that you go down to the photography section of a museum and look at the images that were created in the early days with the most basic equipment. Forget about twenty thousand cross hair focus points.

We shoot things using film or pixels not bullets or flames. Lets keep the respect mutual and the love unconditional ;D

p.s. and naming your sources is probably not the best idea in the world. Hey I'm just saying

p.p.s sorry this post is a little light on emoticons
