Abandoned at the Alter, Again

[catherder]

Wow! Just couldn't tear myself away from the Canon website as they introduced one new DSLR after another for real photographers. Oh, sorry. That was Sony.

Once again, we've been led to the alter, only to be abandoned there.

Makes you feel like Charlie Brown in the Halloween special where everyone gets candy and when he checks his bag, he has a rock.

But, for no sustainable reason, I am optimistic that when Canon finally gives us candy instead of rocks, it will be sweet. Was hoping we wouldn't have to wait until Halloween for it. Trick or Treat! We'll see.

Yet, drawn like a moth to the flame, you Nobel laureates insist on perpetuating the thread with, I am sure not the first time, valueless diatribe.

Just more bells and whistles for the gear hounds/ not necessarily photographers.

You know, it's NOT like canon promised to deliver an announcement and delayed the announcement... Its more like waiting for a proposal rather than being jilted at the alter... Maybe if your a nicer girlfriend and do what you are supposed to do, your boyfriend will want to be a fiancee... I'll let you connect the dots there....

I don't care what Canon does, I just want them to get their s*it together. There was an article I saw from JUNE where the HEAD OF CANON said DSLR production is at the same level pre-earthquake, so why there hell are there no 1D's anywhere to be found? I need to upgrade, BADLY. A 5DII is not a sports camera and that's currently what I am stuck shooting with. I'm not spending thousands on rentals that I can't recoup the cost of, since I string for a paper.. so I need some solution, buying a 1D is it, but good luck finding one from a reputable dealer.

good luck finding a flagship camera anywhere in a store but if you are really interested in purchasing one, try this link:

most of these reputable online stores have the 1D IV in stock at the moment

Oh my! How does anyone shoot sports without a update to the 1DIV?!

Oh, right they just use the 1DIV.

It's as if everyone's cameras have just stopped taking pictures, or have some sort of fast approaching expiration date that will cause the camera to explode and you must must must upgrade.
I love new gear as much as the next guy but I have the ability to tell when I actually need something and when I just have lust for new gear.

Get a 7d. It's not a 5DII but nor is the 1D.

BTW, I saw at least 2 credentialed photographers at the 2011 Burton US Open with 5DIIs.

I bet they actually shot with their iPhones.

To the OP: Good for Sony, good for everybody. So what if Canon hasn't released their stuff yet? The only people leading you on this rollercoaster are us...and the site is called Canon Rumors, not Word of God / Plan Your Purchases Here.

And good on Sony for finally adding a few lenses to their rather small collection. Maybe they're serious about filling some of the gaps.

Did you even read my post or just SKIM it? You can NOT find a 1DIV ANYWHERE. I don't care if it's a 1DIV or a 1DV just get some cameras in stock somewhere.

And for those who mentioned the 7D, I'm tempted, but... really need the voice annotation on the 1D as well... Shooting football without it and trying to remember who gained how many yards on what down is a pain in the a$$ without it.

first.... remember.. DON´T FEED THE TROLLS!! ;D

second.. canon promised you nothing ... blame this website.. but you can not blame canon for not announcing when canon did not promised to announce something.....

 

[NormanBates]

(playing a bit of devil's advocate to show what these implicit "Canon promises" are about)

so you'd be fine if Canon stopped selling any cameras at all, new or old models?

or maybe you bought your lenses under the implicit promise that Canon would continue to sell bodies with which you can use them, and that those bodies would be close to the best that other makers are offering at any given time?

i guess that was a reply to my post?

so you'd be fine if Canon stopped selling any cameras at all, new or old models?

well i would be suprised at least.. as suprised as when we had no sunrise tomorrow.

or maybe you bought your lenses under the implicit promise that Canon would continue to sell bodies with which you can use them, and that those bodies would be close to the best that other makers are offering at any given time?

well i take that serious the day canon makes such an announcement or the lenses i have will not work any longer. :

as long as amateur photographer have no better things to do then being upset about some RUMORS are not being true.... yawn.

DSLR cameras are so good these days. print A3 and you will hardy see a difference to a 30000$ hasselblad.
compacts.. i can understand that people want better IQ in compact cameras.
their tiny sensors really suck.

but what do you expect from a new DSLR?
more features and gimmicks.. sure!
the only features i really miss in current canon DSLR cameras are a build in radio trigger for flash (and speedlite models triggered by radio signals) and GPS
pocket wizards are fine but a build-in full ETTL radio trigger is better.

better image quality?
mhm... better dynamic range would be good but i don´t expect a huge improvement in IQ.

i do understand that people are eager to see new camera models.
but some behave as if they need a new camera to make great pictures.

i also wonder how many, who complain that there is no new 1 series camera yet, will buy a 5000-7000$ camera in the end.

pros talking about their photos 80% of the time.. amateurs talking about gear 80% of the time.
so if you want to improve your photographic skills... take photos.

You need to upgrade? So...why are you wasting your time on the forum then? Go to the shop, search crazy to get that 1D IV. Or, switch to Sony, or Nikon. Oh wait, Nikon has nothing as well..

You can't shoot sports with a 5D MK II? A friend of mine shoots with XSi and I got 3 who use 5D II's for hockey, football, ski jumps and many other sports. They shoot for newspapers and other agencies and I never hear them complaining, especially not about 1Ds Mark IV or 1D Mark V. Canon owes you nothing, they're releasing their model when they will and nobody said it's coming on 25th. It's just the rumors that make us all think like that.
