@HDnighthawk
What date is it today.:rolleyes:
Well I'm super pumped to know that the R1 specs are released!
And for the first time since 2007, Canon FINALLY after so many years released a high resolution body in a pro form factor!!!!!
I'm...
Get a 500mm f/4 IS or 600mm f/4 IS first gen.
I love my 500mm to bits, and I'm not sorry for skipping the weight of the 600mm. Although I think I will still get one because I would still find it...
It is tempting for sure these sale prices, I promised myself no more big purchases for a while since buying my 500mm f/4 IS. But the prices of some of these items is substantial marked down!...
Not to take away from what you said, but the 5Ds could also do 1.6 crop modes. Which is a bit of a misnomer because it doesn't really crop anything and just basically a guide for you to crop in post,...
In so many ways a lens like this, when it is such a huge upgrade is kinda easy to review and recommend.
It is just a tremendous upgrade no matter how you slice and dice it compared to the original...
This looks like an impressive camera for the money, something that kinda interests me.
Improvements for a birder such as myself.
•Being able to AF consistently at f/8, I use the 2x on my ...
So yes, I would describe it as having flocking on the inside of the lens as well and has that look you are describing. And mine is also in mint condition and was stored with a dry pack inside the...
I'll take a look at my 500mm f/4 IS tomorrow morning.
I'm very glad I purchased it. And while I often wish for a 600mm f/4 IS, I don't miss the nearly 12lbs it weighs! My hands are really sore...
I've got some third party batteries and chargers and they all work. I like better my original canon stuff, but as you said it is very expensive. Keep an eye out on your local classifieds, one time I...
Yeah, that's pretty cool. Personally having used the 1Dx III, I would spring for that. I have a 1Dx and it is fine body, but it is a far cry from the Mark-III. Night and day the difference. And they...
Well at least you still have your gear, I also had a phase of not doing any birding. But I find that I never dropped the hobby completely even if I took a hiatus. Do you have a site or a flikr page...
Good to know, all my lenses get used regularly. So knock on wood that won't happen to me. LOL.
I'm assuming you are still very much into birding as always Nate? I'm tempted to no end to get a...
Got a 1D III and 1Ds III for sale. Both are in good condition. The rubber covers on the input ports on the side of the 1D III are missing, although I got one replacement that I have not bothered to...
Will do.
So I have a question for a friend across the pond who is getting an R3 and a 300mm f/2.8 IS. He was talking with someone that said that he wouldn't be able to take advantage of even 20fps because the...
So I guess in another statement from Canon Europe I believe. There is a bug with the update and it can disable the control dial if you reset the camera. Something like that.
But they said that the...
So I guess in another statement from Canon Europe I believe. There is a bug with the update and it can disable the control dial if you reset the camera. Something like that anyway.
But they said...
Good points, if they could add AF tracking that be crazy. Although I'm pretty certain that is physically impossible at 192 fps. It's processing power is pretty well maxed out just dealing with taking...
Just saw on my FB feed from the Digital Picture that they pulled the firmware update. That is very strange.
I agree with you 100%, the 600mm f/4 IS II is a fantastic lens. Very versatile and still very modern. If you are into computers at all reminds me of some of Nvidia's Titan version of their graphics...
The 800mm doesn't make a lot of sense to own in my honest opinion. It is much more expensive than a 600mm f/4 and extender and less sharp. If you compare it to the EF 800mm f/5.6, the EF version is...
Yeah, that is pretty crazy. Definitely curious to hear your thoughts after using it some more and how it can be useful. I can see this perhaps more useful with say a bird on a perch and trying to get...
Well I guess there is a new firmware that allows you to shoot 195fps in RAW on the R3.
So my question is, for how long? I know it said between 2 and 50. So does that mean it can capture up to 50...
