potential light leak issue on the 5dIII bodies
http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/04...dii-light-leak Synth, I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts regarding going to the 5dIII from the 7d I believe. I'm probably going to end up with one sooner rather than later. Kinda waiting to get one from out of state, since sales tax is brutal. - Frank |
Not the most efficient way to check...you basically need to take into the dark and shine a bright light into the seems.
PS: You're back! |
So canon says that if you think it will be an issue, they will let you send in your camera to take a look.
To Users of the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera Concerning the EOS 5D Mark III digital SLR camera, when the LCD panel illuminates in extremely dark environments, the displayed exposure value may change.

Almost every thread of people talking about it has people checking exposure settings with their lens caps on. Which seems completely pointless to me.

The biggest improvement is the IQ, colors seem much more vibrant, and of course usable pics @ mid-high ISO levels. The 7d is still a fine camera, but I probably won't use it much unless I shoot for sports/action and need the 70-200 for reach. |

Well, I couldn't resist and I got the 5d3.
Had two days of shooting with it so far, having previously owned a 7d. Things I love in descending order: 1) Higher ISOs. I'm roughly guessing 2 stops over the 7d. So ISO 25600 looks roughly what the 6400 did on the 7d. You have 104,000 ISO, but it looks like the god of M&Ms swallowed and vomited the picture. Might be ok during day, but not night pictures. 2) It autofocuses like a beast. I can actually do AI servo now, which is a minor miracle for me. I can kinda do it with the 7d, but I can't really trust it. If I'm lucky, one out of three, maybe 1 of 4. Now In simple servo stuff I'm getting maybe 80-90% in focus shots on easy servo stuff (planes, cars, etc) with my F4 lens. 3) My lenses feel 'right' now. The 24-104 is now a very nice range, having some wide angle action now, versus being slighly over '1x' zoom which always bugged me a bit. The 70-200 is no longer annoyingly too close at the wide end. With the 7d even moderately close shots were impossible, and I'd always have to run -way- back to shoot anyone (felt like). Lesser things: 1) Yay, mode lock button. I walk around with the camera around my shoulder a lot, and on my 7d I'm always bumping the mode dial out of place. 2) Larger viewfinder is quite lovely. 3) I love the option to instantly zoom 100% on the focus point. Makes checking focus much quicker. 4) I quite like the 'silent' mode. It's about half volume of regular mode, but the sound is much less offensive. Instead of 'clack clack' it's a softer 'thump thump'. It blends in much easier with background noise. Things I don't like and will have to get used to: 1) Viewfinder text is a lot smaller than it was with the 7d. 2) I kinda miss having internal flash. 3) I'm getting used to the new zoom mechanism - wish I could easily go between focus point zoom/100% view/ view with histogram. Feels a bit klunky since instead of two buttons for 'zoom in/out' you now have the button/wheel combo. 4) I wish auto shutter speed could be based on focal length. 5) Average RAW size is averaging about 31 meg now. Ugh. - Frank |
congrats! thanks for the rundown.
I hope I can join you blokes sometime this year. :bored: |

http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-conten...5/IMG_0759.jpg http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-conten...5/IMG_0766.jpg I like it, too bad it doesn't look like it will take a 1 series battery. |
I'm getting owned a fair amount by the reduced depth of field now.
It's nice how it gives your subject more 'pop' but you really have to be careful where you focus. For example, I have various F2.8 shots where the front brim of the hat is in focus, and the person's face is already starting to get meh. I actually think most casual shooters want a ton of depth of field and that would be a big turn off for some people. I read a bunch of rave reviews about using 'back button focus' so I'm playing with it. The idea is you have set a button on the back to handle focus, and the shutter is just doing exposure (and the shot). I do like the idea, if you are shooting say, though some leaves, to first lock focus, and then shoot away without risking it refocusing on the leaves. Another thing I'm playing with: The depth of field preview button was moved, so it's on the 'shooting' hand side. One custom setting is to set it to swap between servo and 'one shot', which is interesting. So basically you could leave your camera in 'one shot', and then if your subject starts to take a walk you just mash the doF button to track them. Sounds good in theory, but mixed with back button focus, it's it's a real hand stretch to hold down both the DoF preview and one of the buttons on the back of the camera. I'm not sold on this, but I might use it since I have big hands. Servo is fantastic on this camera - enough that I'm half tempted to just leave it in servo full time, and use the DoF button to switch back to one shot every now and then. Have to experiment more and find something I'm comfortable with. - Frank |
Canon unveils the new EOS 650D – get intouch with your creative side http://1.s.img-dpreview.com/files/ne...5mm.jpg?v=1508 London, UK, 8 June 2012 – Canon today launches the EOS 650D – a new, easy-to-use Digital SLR (DSLR) that offers high image quality and simple touch-screen operation, allowing anyone to capture beautiful images and Full HD movies. Ideal for photography beginners, the EOS 650D combines intelligent automatic shooting modes with a range of advanced features – making it easy-to-use today, with a full range of manual modes to explore tomorrow. The EOS 650D is the first-ever EOS to feature a dual AF system, which ensures exceptional detail in stills and continuous autofocus tracking when shooting movies. At the camera's heart is an 18 megapixel (MP) Hybrid CMOS sensor and powerful DIGIC 5 processing, enabling the capture of sharp, full resolution images at up to 5 frames per second (fps). A Vari-angle capacitive touch-screen also makes camera operation quick and easy, providing instant access to an extensive range of settings and scene modes. Outstanding quality in all conditions The EOS 650D offers outstanding image quality and performance. Its newly-developed 18MP APS-C Hybrid CMOS sensor provides super-fine resolution, capturing poster-sized images that are rich in colour and detail. Ideal for shooting in low light without flash, the camera features a native 100-12,800 ISO range, allowing the capture of naturallooking shots with minimal noise, while an expanded ISO 25,600 range also offers the ability to shoot in more extreme low-light conditions. The EOS 650D is the first entry-level EOS to be powered by Canon DIGIC 5 processing, offering greater speed, responsiveness and advanced colour rendition. DIGIC 5's 14-bit image processing provides beautiful and subtle transitions between colour tones, such as those of an evening sky, and its vastly-increased power also makes the camera ideal for capturing fast-moving action such as football or other sports. The new dual AF system makes it easy to capture sharply-focused shots of all subjects, whether capturing stills or movies. A superior 9-point all cross-type AF system provides exceptional performance during stills shooting, offering precision accuracy when capturing sports, action and wildlife. Additionally, a new Hybrid AF System offers continuous autofocusing during movie recording, and when shooting in Live View1 mode. Touch control and Vari-angle flexibility Getting the perfect shot has never been easier thanks to the new 7.7cm (3.0") Vari-angle Clear View LCD II Touch screen. Featuring capacitive technology, the screen is highly responsive and supports a variety of multi-touch gestures, such as pinching and swiping – making it easy to access shooting modes, alter settings and even capture a shot using the screen alone. Touch control adds a different dimension to Live View shooting. You can select AF points, track faces and objects, and fine-tune image settings via the camera's Quick Control screen. Navigation is instant and intuitive, while pinch-zooming in playback provides a great way to check the finer details of a shot. The Vari-angle hinge allows the screen to be angled and tilted to suit virtually any situation, while a super-sharp 1,040k-dot resolution ensures every detail is clearly displayed. EOS Movie: Enhanced with Continuous AF The EOS 650D makes it easy for anyone to shoot Full HD (1920x1080p) videos. Thanks to Hybrid AF, users can focus exclusively on story-telling while the camera continuously tracks the subject. New EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lenses are also ideal for shooting videos, utilising a virtually-silent stepper motor to ensure movies are smoother and clearer than ever. With Video Snapshot mode, anyone can create fun, fast-paced videos with a professionally-edited feel. Snapshots can be recorded in two, four, or eight second segments, and then combined or reordered in-camera ahead of playback. An integrated mini-HDMI port also makes it easy to share the results on any HDTV. Explore with EOS Two brand new shooting modes located on the mode dial help beginners to shoot confidently in difficult lighting conditions. HDR Backlight Control tackles tricky, brightly-backlit scenes by capturing three different exposures – under, correctly, and over-exposed – and combining them into one HDR image displaying both highlight and shadow detail. Handheld Night Scene, meanwhile, makes it easier to capture beautiful low-light evening shots with no tripod, rapidly shooting four different images before combining them into one detailed, blur-free picture. The camera's range of shooting modes also allows you to explore the boundaries of your creativity. Basic+ allows you to go beyond basic automatic settings, with a range of presets you can use to dramatically and instantly alter the mood of a shot. Canon's fun range of Creative Filters can now be applied to images using the Touch-screen, with new 'Art Bold Effect' and 'Water Painting Effect' offering more ways to apply a creative twist to a shot. If you simply want to point and shoot, Scene Intelligent Auto mode does the work for you – analysing the scene and automatically selecting the best settings, so you can take great shots out of the box. The EOS system – freedom to explore As part of Canon's EOS system, the EOS 650D is compatible with the world's most comprehensive selection of lenses and accessories. Over 60 EF lenses cover everything from wide-angle and macro to extreme telephoto, and countless accessories provide the tools to meet virtually any creative challenge. EOS 650D – key features 18 MP APS-C Hybrid CMOS sensor Full-HD movies with manual controls and continuous AF 5 fps continuous shooting Vari-angle Clear View LCD II Touch screen ISO 100-12,800 sensitivity, extendable to ISO 25,600 9-point wide-area AF Integrated Speedlite Transmitter 1 AF in Live View and Movies subject to use with Canon stepping motor (STM) lenses Canon Rebel T4i / EOS 650D specifications Price MSRP $849.99/€899 body only, $949.99/€999 with 18-55mm IS II, $1199/€1,249 with 18-135mm IS STM Body type Body type Compact SLR Body material Stainless Steel and polycarbonate resin with glass fibre Sensor Max resolution 5184 x 3456 Other resolutions 5184 x 2912, 4608 x 3456,3456 x 3456, 3456 x 2304, 3456 x 1944, 3072 x 2304, 2592 x 1728, 2592 x 1456, 2304 x 1728, 2304 x 2304, 1920 x 1280, 1920 x 1080, 1728 x 1728, 1696 x 1280, 1280 x 1280, 720 x 480, 720 x 400, 640 x 480, 480 x 480 Image ratio w:h 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 Effective pixels 18.0 megapixels Sensor photo detectors 18.5 megapixels Sensor size APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm) Sensor type CMOS Processor Digic 5 Color space sRGB,Adobe RGB Color filter array RGB Color Filter Array Image ISO Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800 (25600 with boost) White balance presets 6 Custom white balance Yes (1) Image stabilization No Uncompressed format RAW JPEG quality levels Fine, Normal File format JPEG: Fine, Normal (Exif 2.3 compliant) Design rule for Camera File system (2.0), RAW: 14bit RAW, M-RAW, S-RAW Digital Print Order Format [DPOF] Version 1.1 compliant Optics & Focus Autofocus Contrast Detect (sensor) Phase Detect Multi-area Selective single-point Single Continuous Face Detection Live View Autofocus assist lamp by optional dedicated Speedlite Digital zoom No Manual focus Yes Number of focus points 9 Lens mount Canon EF/EF-S mount Focal length multiplier 1.6× Screen / viewfinder Articulated LCD Fully articulated Screen size 3" Screen dots 1,040,000 Touch screen Yes Screen type Clear View II TFT LCD Live view Yes Viewfinder type Optical (pentamirror) Viewfinder coverage 95 % Viewfinder magnification 0.85× Photography features Minimum shutter speed 30 sec Maximum shutter speed 1/4000 sec Exposure modes Program AE Shutter priority AE Aperture priority AE Manual Scene Intelligent Auto No Flash Creative Auto Portrait Landscape Close-up Sports Night Portrait Handheld Night Scene HDR Backlight Control Built-in flash Yes (Pop-up) Flash range 13 m External flash Yes (Hot-shoe, Wireless plus Sync connector) Flash modes Auto, On, Off, Red-eye Flash X sync speed 1/200 sec Drive modes Single Continuous Self timer (2s, 10s+remote, 10s + continuous shots 2-10) Continuous drive Yes (5 fps) Self-timer Yes (2s, 10s+remote, 10s + continuous shots 2-10)) Metering modes Multi Center-weighted Spot Partial Exposure compensation ±5 EV (at 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV steps) AE Bracketing ±2 (3 frames at 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV steps) WB Bracketing Yes (3 frames in either blue/amber or magenta/green axis) Videography features Format H.264 Motion JPEG Microphone Stereo Speaker Mono Resolutions 1920 x 1080 (30, 25, 24 fps), 1280 x 720 (60, 50 fps), 640 x 480 (60, 50 fps) Storage Storage types SD/SDHC/SDXC Storage included None Connectivity USB USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) HDMI Yes (HDMI mini) Wireless EyeFi Remote control Yes (E3 connector, InfraRed) Physical Environmentally sealed No Battery Battery Pack Battery description Lithium-Ion LP-E8 rechargeable battery & charger Battery Life (CIPA) 440 Weight (inc. batteries) 575 g (1.27 lb / 20.28 oz) Dimensions 133 x 100 x 79 mm (5.24 x 3.94 x 3.11") Other features Orientation sensor Yes Timelapse recording Yes (by USB cable and PC) GPS None http://2.s.img-dpreview.com/files/ne...5mm.jpg?v=1508 http://2.s.img-dpreview.com/files/ne...5mm.jpg?v=1508 http://1.s.img-dpreview.com/files/ne..._BG.jpg?v=1508 |
Compact, versatile and powerful - introducing the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM London, UK, 8 June 2012 – Canon today unveils two new compact, lightweight lenses - the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM. Showcasing a number of new features, including continuous autofocus in Movie mode, both models offer superior image quality and enhanced flexibility to enable photographers of all skill levels to capture both stills and movies of practically any subject. Fast, accurate autofocus for film-makers and photographers As well as offering full-time manual focus controls when shooting stills, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM are both also ideal for aspiring movie makers, allowing them to focus more accurately during shooting. The perfect companion lenses to the new EOS 650D, both models feature new stepper motor technology (STM), enabling fast, continuous focus when recording moving subjects - ensuring movies will be smoother and clearer than ever before. Offering enhanced AF performance with high-speed, high-precision focusing, the two new lenses make it easy for photographers to capture more spontaneous shots, with exceptional detail and clarity. This is particularly useful for documentary, action or travel photography. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.39m and 0.3m respectively, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM allow you to get even closer to the action whilst keeping the subject in perfect focus. EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM – versatile, high-performance zoom Offering a focal range of 18–135mm, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM has been created to offer photographers a compact, versatile zoom lens which can be used to capture a variety of subjects, from portraits to landscapes and action shots. Ensuring high-quality stills at slow shutter speeds, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM features an intelligent optical Image Stabilizer which offers a 4-stop advantage over non-IS models. The lens will also sense whether the photographer is shooting normally or panning, engaging the most appropriate IS mode to capture the best possible image. When shooting movies, Dynamic IS automatically engages, countering any shake caused by the videographer's movement to produce smooth, stable footage. For subtle background blur when exploring shallow depths of field in stills and movies, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM features a circular aperture with an Electro Magnetic Diaphragm (EMD) which permits highly-accurate control over aperture settings. High image quality is also assured throughout the zoom range thanks to four groups of lens elements including one Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) and one Precision Molded Optics (PMo) element to counter chromatic aberration. Canon's optimised Super spectra coatings on each lens element also reduce ghosting and flare, ensuring images require minimal post-processing. EF 40mm f/2.8 STM – super-slim, high image quality The EF 40mm f/2.8 STM is Canon's first EF pancake lens with a fixed focal length of 40mm and wide f/2.8 aperture, making it ideal for photographers who want a versatile, compact and lightweight lens for portrait, reportage, travel or landscape situations. Precision control over the circular, seven-blade aperture is enabled by the EMD, producing a beautiful bokeh effect and an aspheric lens with Super spectra coatings ensures optimal image quality from the centre of the lens to the periphery for stunning shots of practically any subject. EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM – key features Versatile 18-135mm zoom range – perfect for travel Smooth, quiet STM focusing when shooting movies on compatible cameras Dynamic Image Stabilizer for smooth movie footage Fast autofocus with full-time manual override Minimum focusing distance of 0.39m EF 40mm f/2.8 STM – key features Portable pancake design Smooth, quiet STM focusing when shooting movies on compatible cameras Fast f/2.8 maximum aperture for low-light shooting Close focus to 0.3m Fast, quiet AF for pin-sharp results Great image quality right across the frame Canon EF-S 18-135mmm F3.5-5.6 IS STM specifications Principal specifications Lens type Zoom lens Max Format size APS-C / DX Focal length 18 – 135 mm Image stabilisation Yes (4 stops) Lens mount Canon EF-S Aperture Maximum aperture F3.5 - F5.6 Minimum aperture F22.0 - F38.0 Aperture ring No Number of diaphragm blades 7 Aperture notes 6-blade circular aperture Optics Elements 16 Groups 12 Special elements / coatings Super Spectra coatings Focus Minimum focus 0.39 m (15.35") Maximum magnification 0.28 x Autofocus Yes Motor type Stepper motor Full time manual Yes Focus method Internal Distance scale No DoF scale No Physical Weight 480 g (1.06 lb) Diameter 77 mm (3.03") Length 96 mm (3.78") Materials Plastic barrel, metal mount Sealing No Colour Black Zoom method Rotary (internal) Power zoom No Zoom lock No Filter thread 67 mm Hood supplied No Hood product code EW-73B Tripod collar No Optional accessories Soft Case LP1116 Canon EF 40mm STM specifications Principal specifications Lens type Prime lens Max Format size 35mm FF Focal length 40 mm Image stabilisation No Lens mount Canon EF Aperture Maximum aperture F2.8 Minimum aperture F22.0 Aperture ring No Number of diaphragm blades 7 Optics Elements 6 Groups 4 Focus Minimum focus 0.30 m (11.81") Maximum magnification 0.18 x Autofocus Yes Motor type Stepper motor Full time manual Yes Focus method Internal Distance scale No DoF scale No Physical Weight 130 g (0.29 lb) Diameter 68 mm (2.68") Length 27 mm (1.06") Sealing No Colour Black Filter thread 52 mm Tripod collar No http://4.s.img-dpreview.com/files/ne...CAP.jpg?v=1508 |

oh I'm not the one knocking firmware updates. I'm all for it. :thumbsup:
Remember there was a day in the not too distant past when you would buy an electronic product and that's it, you're stuck, there's no upgrade ability of any sort. And products came out with plenty of glitches and problems, you just had to live with it. The same thing happened with console video games, for instance. How you can add new cars and tracks etc. You could never do that before, after buying a game. That's progress. |

talking about free upgrades and downloads for the games.
regarding your second statement, today's electronics are so complicated that it's going to be next to impossible to make a 100% perfect product. do you disagree? |

maybe its because I'm in the IT field, whatwith constantly issuing updates and patches and new versions and etc. etc. etc it seems pretty commonplace to me that nothing is going to be perfect the first time around.

I'm talking about consumer products that have no outside factors other than what the company makes to start with.

That's what most have settled for :shrug:

What choice to people have when everything is run by computers?
Computers are imperfect, period. They have glitches and errors and sometimes outright fail. You don't think automobiles don't have firmware updates for their ECUs? The dealers don't really tell you about them...they just update them when your car is in for service. If we want to go back to simpler times where things are more mechanical, we don't have to settle for anything...and our shit will last longer, too. |
Computer are not imperfect, what is put into them is. The rush to get them in retail is what is imperfect. What humans say they can do, but don't program them to do so.

do you seriously think Canon rushed the 5D3 to market??? Nikon the D800???
come on man. we've been waiting for these cameras FOREVER. |

Never buy a car in its first year of a redesign......not sure the same applies to electronics but car manufacturers are far more guilty of rushing product to market without knowing if every component will stand up.
I think all this means for the 7D is that we likely won't be seeing a 7D II until next year. |
Possible New Mirrorless camera leaked?
http://www.digitalrev.com/article/ca.../MzA4OTAwMTI_A http://image04.digitalrev.com/finder...rorless_f1.jpg There's a bit of bubbling in the bathtub about supposedly leaked pictures (or rather picture) of Canon's new mirrorless camera system, the EOS-M. Dunno if it's legit but it's kinda believable. I'd assume that they haven't done a Pentax and made a mirrorless camera that has the same mount as their DSLRs. The body looks quite thin so I guess that this EF-M lens is a new mount from them. One could also assume that it's a 1.6x crop APS-C sensor too, seeing as that lens would crop nicely to a lovely 35mm focal length. Well, we'll just have to wait and see rather than making assumptions. Apparently, an announcement is due on the 23rd July. Let's hope it's not a fake that serves only to tease us momentarily before being let down by a load of printer announcements. Source: Digicame (Japanese) Thanks to Ian Paulo Viceo for the headsup on Twitter! |
You know, camera's need to be a little sexy, this isn't even close.
|
other rumors say that the mirrorless being announced on monday is catered towards the mass market.
they said that other models towards professionals/enthusiasts will be released later :shrug: |
it looks like something you might get in a Cracker Jack box... :bored:

I also don't quite understand the built in 1.4x. I'd think that the people most interested in this lens would already have a 1.4x for their telephoto primes. |

Well the photographers say they love the lens and have nothing bad to say about it. But yea the price is a bit recockulous....
I got the price wrong, it's more like 11grand... Also I dont think canon officially announced it yet, just that it's in the works. |
