Yeah, I've tried downloading the images multiple times, through Image Capture, iPhoto, and by dragging the file from the card folder onto my desktop. Same files each time. Next time out I'll shoot to...

Shot another 900 or so shots tonight, with a new Lexar CF card that I used two nights ago with no problems. Downloaded the files straight from the camera via USB. Tonight, about 15 shots had the same...

I'm shooting RAW, and only to the CF card (I have the SD card set up if I run out of space on the CF). I've used this card at at least 50 concerts with no problems.

On your last two suggestions-...

I've had my 5D MKIII for a couple years now and never really had a problem. Shot a concert tonight, and when I checked out the photos, a handful looked like this:

Not sure why this is...

Re: Today's list of landscape lenses, I would also throw in the Tokina 11-16 2.8. Love this lens (I have the first version), and wish I had more reason to use it. Really debating what to do with it...

Thanks for the input. I'm already preparing myself mentally for having to rationalize buying the 24-70II. Just seems far and away to be better than any other options. Especially since low light...

OK, finally got the 5DMIII. Now looking for the general purpose lens. As mentioned before, was using the 17-55 2.8 on the 7d. Considering the 24-105 now. I've read on a few forums that the f4 on the...

Ned Flanders, owner of the Leftorium, is surely pleased!

Well that cinches it. Selling the 7D and my two EF-S lenses to fund the 24-70II. Really came around quick on that. Just going all in.
Insanely excited for the 5D, and it should get here tomorrow....

Well, you guys have pretty much convinced me. So any recommendations on a wide-angle to replace the Tokina 11-16 I have that's also EF-S only? Obviously gonna sell that as well if the 7D goes.

Thanks for the replies. Selling the 17-55 is definitely part of the plan. But I'd definitely like to hang on to the 7D. Partly just to have a backup body, and partly for the extra reach with my...

Just blew my entire camera-equipment budget on the 5DMIII. Thought I was going to go 6D, but after a week of shooting concerts with my 7D, I realized how important the AF system is, especially it's...

Is AI Servo mode that much worse on the 6D than the 7D? I'd say at least half my photography is concert shots, where there's usually low light or strobes or other quick and extreme lighting changes,...

Thanks for the comparison shots. I'm definitely going to hang onto the 7D at least for a while for comparison. I also crop my 300mm shots quite a bit, especially birds in flight, and far away concert...

@HDNitehawk- Thanks for the advice. Seriously considering getting the 24-105 and selling it along with the 17-55. Plan on keeping my 7D, both to have a backup body, and for the extra reach for...

OK, thanks guys! Just needed a little positive reinforcement to make me feel better about spending the dough...

Looking for opinions- Currently have a 7D with the 17-55 2.8 EF-S lens, which I love. Didn't think I'd upgrade to full frame anytime soon, but the 6D is looking good, particularly for its low-light...

Agreed. Was kind of shocked that it was SD card only. If this had been out when I upgraded from my Rebel Xsi, i definitely would've gone for it. But as a 7D user, I'd say this would be more of a FF...

Thanks, Arnt. I'll check that out. I did have to point the camera upward at a pretty significant angle, since i was basically at the water level of the river.

Thanks, Bob. I shot it with the Tokina 11-16, and it does have quite a bit of distortion at 11mm. I used a lens correction in Adobe Bridge, but that mostly works around the edges a bit. My image...

Has anybody updated the firmware on their 40mm 2.8 pancake? I only experienced the autofocus problem once, after picking up the camera when it was in video mode, so I'm not sure i have the problem. I...

Max ISO finally! That alone is HUGE for me. I shoot a lot of concerts, and the auto ISO constantly varies between 400 and 3200. Never been able to find the "right" manual ISO setting, since lighting...

Thanks for the explanation, Arnt. I did just now take some shots at about 100 feet, and though the non-L was still a bit longer, the difference was much less noticeable. And I'll gladly trade the...

I recently upgraded from the Canon 70-300 USM non-L to the newer 70-300 L version. Just to make myself feel better about the purchase, I did some quick image comparisons. And without a doubt, the L...
