Re: Canon EOS 3D Outed by B&H Photo [CR0] Definite hoax. Mfr # are the same for the '3D' and Canon projector listed below it.

Ebay - got a great deal there on an RRS plate for more than 70% off the retail price of a use item (1dm2 L plate). Craigslist (USA) is also useful, but I know that doesn't help you.

70-200 f/2.8L IS (i.e. mark I) for US$950 last year. Sold for US$1450 less than a year later.

Dynamic range of the human eye is something like 18 to 24 stops, depending on lighting conditions etc. The latest 2012 camera range don't even come close to 18 stops of DR.

I think we are still far off from the point where the camera sees detail in the shadow that the eye can't.

Other than price?

You can also view it if you use Aperture on a Mac, at least on the 5dm2 anyway.

Lol. Question is not "what is the groundbreaking...", but "will there be a groundbreaking..."

In 2009, 2-3 months before I even thought about buying a DLSR (P&S prior), I went to the annual exhibition for the National Geographic Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition at the Natural History Museum in London. Didn't occur to me at the time, but when I decided to go down the DSLR...

And if you need to lean forward to do something that isn't related to using your camera, you can slide the clip most proximal to your chest down to the hip position alongside the distal clip - now you've got your camera locked in position between the 2 clips. The body is not going to slide...

I've tried the sun sniper but prefer my black rapid RS sport - I find it's very handy to have the 2 clips on the strap to limit the travel of the camera along it to suit your needs, whether it's to limit posterior travel of the camera, or to lock the camera at a specific position.

That makes sense. In other words for the same aperture setting and framing, FF will always have 1.3 stops shallower depth of field. That's significant! Thanks - I did allude to a difference between bokeh and DOF. Vignetting can be corrected somewhat with post-processing.... closer to the...

I recall reading somewhere on this forum some comment about how a FF sensor would inherently have better bokeh (or was it shallow depth of field) as compared with a crop. I can no longer find it, and I have since read conflicting opinions elsewhere. Thus, if an image is captured at the same...

I think that's the definition of marketing and PR

Ahh... we're only just getting acquainted!

That seems sensible. It's just interesting that a Canon USA engineer chose pixel size as the one thing to highlight, and not all the other aspects.

Here's a comparison of relative pixel sizes. Quote from Chuck Westfall (Canon USA Pro Engineering division) via dpreview: (http://www.dpreview.com/articles/5149972341/canon-eos-1d-x-overview) When asked to for the biggest improvement in the new camera, Westfall stresses that every aspect of the...

Fantastic call CR guy.. when it really mattered!

Fantastic call with the Oct 18th 1D announcement.... you sure got the biggest one of the year right. That's for your many detractors out there!!! Keep it up, Craig!

Re: Canon EOS 1D X Possible Press Release What does a "possible" press release mean? It's not a real press release? Someone could've made this up?
