Anything to report from the Olympics?

[Eldar]

It may be that I have missed something, but I am surprised that we have not seen any info or spy images of new bodies and/or lenses from the Olympics. If we are to expect any interesting bodies from 7DII and above, during this year, I would have expected them to be field tested in Russia.

I've seen a few taped up 1 series bodies over there, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're prototypes.

I would have expected some eagle eyed viewers to have spotted something that gives some details away from either Canon or Nikon by now - should there be anything interesting which isn't packaged up to look like its predecessor.

And it seems the 200-400 is preeetty popular..

Yes, I can report that the majority of the female athletes involved in curling are rather beautiful....

Not much other than that we beat you guys in the cross country relay 8)

You noticed that, too? I'm inclined to change my sporting pursuits, and living here in Minnesota we actually have curling.

He he, Congratulations and well deserved. But next time we'll skip having sand paper under our skis

PS! Have you checked the medal statistics?

A good reason to watch the winter games. Anna Sidorova, captain of the Russian national team curling.

Exactly ! I mean who's looking for new photographic gear when we've got athletes like that to watch ?

I'm booked on this evening's flight to Russia. See you guys in the Spring

I wish you a good trip and good photos. If you can catch 7D mark ii there (besides Anna Sidorova), ;D I would be very happy. :

I love cats. But do not think they like ice. : As Young Women's curling is a shame that Anna Sidorova has ended its participation in the Winter Games. :-*

Strange ... Curling is normally used as The example of boring winter sports. But apparently not amongst photographers :

The first time I saw the Winter Olympics on television, I thought curling was a funny sport. But I was only seeing the men's teams. This year I discovered the girls' teams and was a fan of this sport. : It is a pity that in Brazil the temperature is between 20 and 35 degrees Celsius throughout the year. :-\ We will have no ice around here, much less the beautiful girls of the Russian team. :-*

In the London Olympic games....all the fuss was about the Brazillian outdoor volley ball team...I had a few mates with front row seats all though the qualifying, quarters, semis....they all looked more than a little star struck ;-D

I believe this thread is one of those who really de-railed

I conclude that no prototype body or lens was shown, which means we have to wait for Brazil. Then I can open a new thread, which will de-rail into a female spectator contest

By the way, curling is a fascinating sport. We lost this year ... but we won a few others, check the medal statistics

Despite Canada's success in curling, there are only two gold medals given out at the Olympics.... Men's Hockey and Women's Hockey. The 7D2 did not surface at the Woman's gold medal game, so it should appear at the men's gold medal game.
