do you use the flash for on or off camera? If you don't need TTL, you can pick up one of those Yongnuo pretty cheap

Yup yongnuo 560 IV are $71.

Also the viewfinder on the 7D is 100%, the 6D is 97%. So you gotta pick and choose what's more important to you. Sony sensors are t1ts and that's why Nikon uses them. If only Canon would jump on that bandwagon. |

That's the most important spec. :rofl: My new body purchase has been pushed to early next year due to home improvement projects. :( |
It Looks Like Canon's Working on a Universal Tilt-Shift Adapter for EF Lenses
In the future, instead of buying a dedicated Canon lens for tilt and shifting movements, you may be able to simply buy a tilt-shift adapter for your existing EF lenses. A newly surfaced patent suggests that Canon has been working on that kind of universal adapter. Game. Changer. |

How many people bought the EOS M? Didn't they also discontinued the M series in North America? :dunno: Plus it would be in APS-C only I believe
Canon announced last week or so that they're going to take mirrorless more seriously now. Good. |
of course they are
|
Competition is usually good for everyone... If canon gets it right :shrug:
|
If Canon can top the performance of the Sony Alphas I'll be thoroughly impressed, but I feel that's unlikely. Lets hope they can at least undercut the price tag?
|
I'd be happy if they could just match their base ISO performance as at higher ISOs their DR is comparable
The sad part about the M3 is they priced it too high. If you're willing to go grey market you can get the Japanese model plus the EVF for like $500. |
I remember reading a few years back that there was a magic lantern hack that allowed th canons to be able to capture more than 14 stops of DR.
Something about dual ISO. If there are no bugs or downsides, canon should enable that by default. |

talking about details in the shadows - and the ability to lift those details if needed - it's been well documented for years.
|
Well you should've said that in the first place :rasp:
Anyways the chart shows it, I think you're mostly under ISO800 in your building pictures, so it would be a benefit for you. |

^ Out of curiousity, what Canon stuff did you have before and was it pretty much a wash in terms of cost of swapping lenses?

7D...still have it. need to sell it. Bought from B&H refurbed, but had ZERO clicks. I'll lose 50% on it when i sell it. Thats just how technology is. It's NOT an investment. 150-500 sigma 70-300L 15-85 still have it. the most awesome EF-S lens! need to sell it. 100 macro Non L 50 1.4 40 2.8 probably other stuff that I'm not remembering All the lenses I had were bought used or refurbed, and were in perfect condition. I lost NO money selling them. I actually made a little money on the macro lens. all of my Nikon gear except for my Sigma 24-105 was bought new. I used Greentoe for the body and 16-35 lens. If I sold the body and 16-35 today I would probably not lose more than $200. If I sold the 24-105 today, I'd probably break even. It all depends on how you buy things. |
:ponder: at the 7D
I give you best price $34.50? |

I almost clicked "buy" on a 6D with a 24-105...
I want a full frame and 20MP. Wifey can use the 40D with the 17-55 at 10MP... |
Do it!
|
How much was said 6D?
|
$1999 with 24-105F4LIS and a 64GB SD card (plus some other stuff, soft case, some cheapo filters, spare battery)
Canon EOS 6D DSLR Camera w/EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens & Free Accessories 8035B009 H |
You and I are thinking alike..
Canon EOS 6D DSLR Camera w/Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens Kit 8035B009 RB Your deal is better though. |
It's currently out of stock, but if you don't need that extra junk canon refurbished with the 24-105 lens is 1839
Body only (also sold out) is $999, was discounted to 899 during "black week". At that price it sold out quick. Wish I had jumped on it, saw it in stock :( |
The 24-105mm is junk? I was (and still am) considering it as a walk around lens :dunno:
Edit: never mind, you were talking about the refurbished lens, right? |
I would be worried about long term issues with a refurb camera.
The $1999 version (with 24-105L and the "kit") is in stock... |
It's refurbished direct from canon, so you get a full warranty.m
A lot of times those refurbished cameras are basically brand new. Just units people bought and returned. Canon usually takes good care of them and will replace components before selling them. |

The 64 GB card and extra battery are worth it alone (over the link I posted). And I think I would rather pay the extra $160 than wonder about in what way was my camera refurbished..

So I need some advice as to whether I should send my t5i back to Canon for repair. I was having issues with it in video and live view mode, where the camera would freeze and I would be unable to power it down without removing the battery. When the display would freeze sometimes there would be a few different colored pixels lit up on screen. One time the screen froze in solid purple. I thought it was maybe a memory card that was causing the issue, but it happened with 2 cards. I have since retired one card that was coming apart and I haven't seen the issue happen since. Maybe it was the other card that was causing the issue.. I don't want to send it in and have them do nothing because they can't replicate the problem. The camera turns one on the 17th so I have to make a decision if I am going to send it in soon.
|
I guess it wasn't solid purple..

Jerks, it's just a damn suggestion :io:
|
And yes the battery and SD card is fine. My "junk" comment referred to the holster, tether & filter. That stuff.
Then again I never heard of "green extreme" before as a 3rd party battery company :scratch: Would be nice if you could tell them to not send those items. :shrug: |
Mattg, did I correctly read that it only happened with one, damaged memory card and not other non-damaged cards?
If that's the case, stop using that card (obviously). If it happens with other cards (even only intermittently), send it in IMO. |

I know, and I wish I cold get a "discount" for not getting these items, but the body+lens only option is the same price, so I would be dumb to not take a free spare battery and case and memory card. |

Ahh, OK. I wasn't sure if you had isolated the issue to the failing card. Hopefully no more issues... But just in case, does the credit card you purchased the camera with increase the manufacturer's warranty? Many do, by up to a full year of added warranty.
|
if you guys are really serious about the 6D combo. you should look at Greentoe. You will probably get a better price there.
greentoe.com |
:rofl:.
lowest and average price is 1799 on greentoe. probably can negotiate lower by maybe 50 bucks or so. |
Isn't the 6D getting long in the tooth? Seems at least 18 months..., unless price is lowest ever, may want to wait.
