Apparently ad agencies in New York City are “clamoring” to get name photographers for an upcoming Canon spot. 1Ds Mark IV?

I’m weak.
Me too, think i’ll do some more trolling through nikon rumors. I heard that the next nikons will be even better iq than the 5dII ie 8-10 megapixels woohoo. Yeah way to go nikon. http://nikonrumors.com/2010/03/18/the-latest-nikon-rumors.aspx/comment-page-1#comment-59180
Don’t understand why they don’t go one better and aim for 4 megapixels of super high quality.
By the way, Foveon technology works and please don’t bother responding if you don’t have a Foveon based camera. I do use both, the 5D2 and Sigma SD14. 5D2 is great for HD video but when it comes to photography, the percent of shots I keep that look descent is a lot lower than the ones shot with SD14. There is absolutely no comparison. And yes I know the Sigma cameras are not very good in low light, etc.
Maybe the ‘morons’ can just ask the writers to write less so they can fit more photo space… Thus keeping all of the images at their full, uncropped dimensions?
This question comes up regularly, and it always baffles me. Maybe because 95% of my photography is done in low-light, indoor situations, at iso 1600 or 3200. The ability to handhold the 24-70 at 1/40th or slower would be extremely helpful. Yes, my subjects move, but they’re not always moving. There’s the moment when a musician pauses, or their head is still while their hands are in motion.
And there are other benefits to IS as well: right now, you have to make sure you’ve got enough shutter speed to avoid camera shake, so you’ll shoot wide open or close to it. With IS, you can trade a slower shutter speed for more depth of field. On a full frame camera, you need all you can get. Nikon just released a 16-35mm lens with image stabilization. That’s a great idea. If it helps on focal lengths that wide, it’s even more useful on the 24-70.
The 17-55/2.8IS is my favorite lens on the 1.6x crop cameras, because it’s so versatile. There’s nothing like it for the APS-H and full frame bodies.
That said, I would love IS on the 135/2, which now sits in the closet most of the time, while the 70-200/2.8L IS gets all the work.
