Do the bodies ship with firmware version 1.1.3 already?

Hey guys I just picked up a used 7D to go along with my K5 great camera was just wondering is there a way to zoom in on a picture right away on the last picture taken or do you have to always hit the play button then zoom in.

thanks

[edit] -- I might've figured this out -- the angled/beveled adapter under the other adapter was also removable. Once removed, it looks like I could then use a T Adapter for Canon. Thinking the adapter is FD lens mount since it's obviously not EF and it does say For Canon on it [/edit]

Hey ya'all. I bought the following lens on eBAY (please don't flame -- it was cheap! )

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=120955365515&nma=true&rt=nc&si=q0XQh0RvmbNciQZEDvox40hPVDc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I got it today -- aside from the fact the middle section was crossthreaded (lol) it looks like an ok lens. It came with a twist type adapter for quick fit -- but I'm not sure what I need or how I'm supposed to make it work with my camera. From looking at some others, it would appear a T Lens adapter is needed...but even then, I'm thinking MAYBE whoever made this lens (Toyo) threw on suitable adapters for a bunch of different cameras and that maybe this is just the wrong one (misboxed, perhaps)? Any help much appreciated....I just know I can just throw it onto my T3i.

The pictures show the adapter that is on it - then a picture of the adapter off (took three small flat heads to set it to the lens body). Sorry about pic quality -- was just trying to work fast -- going on a trip tomorrow

I'd like to carry my camera around more often without lugging around a big camera bag. I like the new 40mm pancake lens pretty well, and was thinking of using one of those neoprene camera wraps to protect the 5D with the little lens, and slipping the thing into my regular bag. It would have some support in the bag, but not the bracing and velcro'd confinements that my camera bag have. I'd expect it to be jostled somewhat, but have no major bumps.

Would that be suicide?

Taken with a Canon EOS 600D (AKA Rebel T3i)

Here's an article about a man that found a Canon XT in a creek and was able to return it to the owner by using the pictures on the memory card. Three years in the water. Amazing!

Would like to get some views of the above mentioned lens as a walk around super zoom for a 7d (but quite likely to upgrade to FF some time in the future). I currently have a 18-200mm but can sometimes need the extra focal length.

Hey guys, I am going to change to Canon (from Nikon) soon, and I am planing to buy (in 2 days) the EOS 60D.
I would like to ask for some raw files, like portraits and high dynamic images, and ones that were shot in the dark.
So if you have an EOS 60D would you be so kind and send me a link where I can download a couple of raw files...
Thanks.

So, saw a CL posting for this lens for $525, supposedly glass in perfect condition with front & rear caps, filter (?), and case. Says it's already converted for Canon. From what bit I've seen out on the web (can't take hours to read them all), it looks like a nice lens, and quite interesting and as a MF lens would force me to shoot a bit differently, and likely be a pretty nice portrait lens. So, anyone ever use this lens? Worth buying for that price assuming it's perfect glass as state?

i wonder if an entry level FF from canon would come with the 1D X sensor or the 5D MK3 sensor.

i guess they will not make a new sensor for it?!

if the 1D X sensor is not significantly better, would it make not more sense to use this sensor for an entry level FF?
even when the high iso performance is better, it will sure be crippled via firmware to 12800 or 25.600.

and 18 MP will differentiate it from the 22 MP 5D MK3 sensor.
beside the AF that will sure be less effectiv, that´s another way to differentiate both.

it seems everyone thinks such an entry level FF will get the 5D MK3 sensor.

Used my brand new EOS 5D Mark III (love it) for the first time with the Macro EF 100mm f/2.8L IS (love it too). Butterflies shot at 500, 800 and 3200 ISO, handheld. Postedit using LR4.

I've found lots of conflicting information online about what gear can be taken into Olympic venues. There seems to be a general consensus on nothing over 30cm long but some sites say that certain venues (e.g. Wembley) prohibit anything "pro" including anything with interchangeable lenses. Bags must be able to fit under seats, but that shouldn't be a problem with any of my lenses.

Anything confiscated won't be returned, and I'm keen neither to miss my sessions nor to lose my camera. Has anyone actually been into the aquatics centre or the Olympic stadium with something like a 5D body + any of 135 f/2, 35mm f/1.4 (or even a 70-200 f2.8 )? I'd like some record of the day better than iPhone pics...

I am looking to buy 4 eos cams for a church going on local tv (no IMAG only record). Looking at t4i or eos m for focus reasons. Can not find a clear enough answer about total recordring time options online. We need shallow DOF because of video screen behind the speaker so standard prosumer video cams look bad.

1. What is the max continuous recording time on any size card for 1080. I have seen 22min listed for an 8gig card but is that because of the card size?
2. Is there a limit on how many gig a card size can be used?
3. If there is a max time, can i start a second right away? if so about how long a gap between clips.
4. Is a 5 or 7 any better for recording time? The new $15k cinema even? I mighjt be able to swing one good cam like the cinema for continuity and three t4i with pauses every so often. (leave the 4k wide and pan and crop in post.)

About to recomend a big purchase and would like a push in the right direction.
Thanks!

So shooting a girl on a horse is crazy...I've been shooting for a while and didn't realize just how awesomely beautiful yet difficult horses could be.

Here's Victoria and her horse Ditto.

Oh note, I didn't realize horses absorbed so much light

Here is no NR and NR 80 in ACR ISO 12,800 cropped quite a bit:

I shot high burst rate mode this evening of some kids throwing grapes at each other. I chose 4 photos, two of the thrower and 2 of the throwee if you will. She missed but oh well. The third photo, the grape is at the top of the frame. Even 1/1000s was too slow, but it was evening shade light with no real way to increase the shutter speed. It was just a test.

.... a profesinal photographer.

I could sit and look at these pictures all day long....


Enjoy!

"There are some interesting murmurings in the world of camera rumors. Photokina is just around the corner, and if the rumors are to be believed, we’ll be seeing some pretty earth-shattering unveilings at the German trade show.

CanonWatch recently received information about an upcoming medium format DSLR by Canon, to be announced at Photokina.

The camera will reportedly offer an EF mount, but may not be compatible with the entire lineup of EF lenses:

[...] newer EF lenses will be supported and (older) lenses with popular focal lengths that actually are suited for full frame sensors will see new editions for the medium format camera (possibly in Spring 2013). Since an EF mount accepts all EF lenses, the only way I can figure out you can block certain EF lenses from being used is through electronic sensing (my speculation). It is not known if the medium format DSLR will have a mechanical interlock for EF-S lenses (though I think this is more than plausible).

It would certainly be an interesting move by Canon. Just months after announcing a cinema DSLR to compete against the likes of RED, Canon would be diving headfirst into a market occupied by the likes of Pentax and Hasselblad.

On a slightly less earth-shattering note, SonyAlphaRumors is reporting with certainty that Sony has a NEX-6 camera prepped and ready for launch.

The camera would be a smaller counterpart to the enormously popular NEX-7 — a top-seller amongst mirrorless cameras. They write,

[...] this will be a sort of “mini-NEX-7″. It has an integrated viewfinder like the NEX-7 but with a tiny bit lower EVF resolution. The camera will be cheaper than the NEX-7 and price right in the middle between the NEX-5F (also coming in September) and the current NEX-7.

Get ready: we might be in for a boatload of exciting announcements come next month.



Looks like we have allot to look forward too,

anyone see this coming?

Ok, we know it was August "something" but does anyone know WHEN Canon will release it? I am getting anxious.

D

Well, I'm not sure what to do. I'm currently using only my 50mm 1.2 lens and I'm considering selling/trading it towards the 35mm 1.4. (and maybe repurchase the 50mm 1.4 or 1.8)

I want one of them for a kind of everyday lens for general walkaround use.

Looking for some opinions on people that have used/own both and which they lean more towards and why.

On top of that I'm not too sure if I maybe want to hold off and see what gets announced in the next months as the mark II of the 35 seems to be a pretty strong rumor for the past year or so - but who really knows.

Anywho, would love to hear some insight from everyone.

Thanks!
