FS: My Entire Canon Lineup

[Rodger]

Hey all, I haven't posted here in a long time. And well, lots has changed. I'm shooting weddings portraits and events with my fiancee (I'm one lucky guy). Unfortunately though, she shoots Nikon! So we're switching to Nikon for the next season. My gear is as follows and I'll offer a discounted price if someone wants to take it all. I hope we can all still be friends even if I shoot Nikon...


1 Canon 7D $1,300:<span style="white-space: pre;"] In immaculate condition. I've taken care of this thing. It's my baby. Bought refurbished, two years ago for $1,400. FREEBIE: Flashpoint battery grip with extra Canon brand battery for Canon 7D


1 Canon 24-70 f/2.8L $1,300: Again, immaculate condition. I bought this lens new from Adorama in May of 2011 before realizing that I would be the one to give up my brand loyalty...


1 Canon 70-200 f/4L $500: Bought this lens a few years ago. I almost want to keep it in a frame because it was my first piece of "L" glass. It is a trooper and will serve anyone well for outdoor portraiture or sports.


1 Canon 430EXII flash $200: This little flash has served me well. Velcro attached for use with cut gels.


1 Canon 50mm f/1.8 free: my friend dropped this one day. It still functions, but it has a filter stuck to it. I suggest using it as a paper weight.





<span itemprop="description"]1 Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR DI-II LD Aspherical (IF) Standard Zoom Lens for Canon EOS $400: I bought this lens before I could afford the 24-70L. I recently had this lens repaired under warranty by Tamron. So, it is really a refurbished lens. Still under warranty too. (Tamron does a 6 year warranty).


I take great care of my gear and never abuse it. I have the original boxes and manuals for all of these items and they will all ship together to anywhere in the continental USA. We'll discuss shipping after inquiry.


I've bought from the members on this forum numerous times before and I've received their photographic help numerous more times, so I feel that you all deserve first go at my Canon gear.

You have a nice setup there and it

Hey John, post processing two different sensors from two totally different brands is horrible haha. There is such a difference between the sensor of my Canon and her Nikon.


Daniel, no don

Don't worry, Rodger, you're not the first to fall for a Nikon girl ("http://youtu.be/H_H8TOKcfjg?hd=1)...

[TakahiroW4047]

Whoah!! and NOOOO!! ...well actually I'd probably be just as happy with a Nikon : )


Just out of curiosity any chance you'd sell that battery grip and battery separately?? Not sure if I can spare the cost right now, but thought I'd ask the ball park price you'd be looking for?

If thats your problem then just get DxO and post proccess using a Nikon color profile or Canon on her Nikon. Besides that it has the best noise reduction and the best dietail. But if have you CS5 its very close, but thats a $1000 software suite! DxO is $160 for your 7D and $300 for a FF plus few other features.


Just a thought,


John.

HAHA! That KILLED me. Funny stuff.

[Rodger]

Haha Sean that was great!


John, thank you for your recommendations! But alas, last night I made the switch to a Nikon D700. It was going to be an expensive upgrade to FF and fast primes anyways, so it was a good time to make the switch.


It was time for an upgrade to full frame and fast primes anyways. If you have sensitive ears and own a 5D mk II, turn away.... I just wasn

Nice Sean![H] I had to forward that to my buddy that shoots Nikon.

[Rodger]

"If you have sensitive ears and own a 5D mk II, turn away.... I just wasn't thrilled about the 5D MKII. I shot around with friend's 5D mkII and another friend's D700 and that made the choice for me. "


Funny Rodger, but Cantrell, Ghionis et al, all swear by their 5dii bodies. :-)





Oh it's a great camera! Don't get me wrong. It's just not the one for me haha.

Well Ozimax, I have a 5D mark II and I'm very happy with it, but I just looked at the specs of the D700 and honestly it has some features that are very very interesting. It's just the pop-up flash that keeps me from converting to Nikon [;)]


Some things I remember that are nice:


- Better AF system with more AF points


- Faster shutterlag, comparable to the 1D-series of Canon and D3 series of Nikon I think


- 5 frames per second and even 8 fps if you add a batterygrip


- up to 7 frames with bracketing, which would be amazing for HDR(better than just the 3 shots for the 5D2)





Just some things that are very very awesome. In my eyes it's pretty much a 1Ds series camera in a smaller and cheaper body with a few less megapixels and without video. Since I don't use video a lot on the 5D, that big feature doesn't really mean much to me. And if I were to start all over again, I think the Nikon D700 specs would interest me more than the 5D mark II specs. Good choice Rodger[Y] Have fun with it! And good luck selling the rest of your Canon gear.

Update: the 50mm is gone.
