I have a 16-35mm f/4L IS on the way - Amazon just updated, and says it'll be here on July 1st. IT'S COMING.

Any reason why not to use the "silent" shutter mode instead of regular shutter on a 70D? The only advantage that I can see of the regular, loud, shutter is in high-speed mode.

When I'm shooting models in natural light I make sure to use the regular shutter so they can hear the click and know when to change poses. When shooting events I usually leave it on silent. The silent shutter blacks out the viewfinder for slightly longer, so it might be a little more disorientating than using the fast one. That might be more or less of an issue depending on if you're using a single eye or both eyes photojournalist style, or what you're shooting.

Someone talk me out of buying the EF 135mm f/2L refurbished for $750 + tax.  I love that length but already have it covered with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II. It's so cheap though! Star War Sex Parrot fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Jun 27, 2014 |

Canon apparently patented a Foveon-style stacked photon well sensor. Except of just capturing RGB, they also want UV and IR for some reason, to correct skin tones. http://www.canonrumors.com/2014/06/patent-canon-5-layer-uv-ir-rgb-sensor

IR? Skintone? What? I just GIS'd "IR portrait" and everything just looks like ghosts... Everybody has marble white skin with very little definition I guess because IR light is less powerful than visible light. Also why is the UV layer at the top? Aren't UV photons the most energetic?

Makes sense, maybe acting an optical UV cut layer as well as providing a map to filter out uv in processing.

Seamonster posted:IR? Skintone? What? They are energetic enough to break chemical bonds, causing fading, bleaching, and general damage to many materials. It would make sense to filter UV out right off the top just to make sure it doesn't degrade the other materials below. Also, the IR portraits are downright pleasant compared to "UV portraits". http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/22/cara-phillips-ultraviolet-beauties_n_1606131.html

It looks like maybe they are using the UV part of the sensor create a mask to remove imperfections or errors in the skin and then the IR info to recover highlights. I am not sure though and haven't read the patent yet, just the quick summary.

To be fair, what kind of moron would pay $81k for a lense, purely based on an eBay description. Given that my last 'mint' lense contained a public hair between the elements, I think I'd stump up the cost of a flight to buy this beast.

If you have enough money to buy that lens, you're probably not going to get it from eBay.

Got myself a 70D the other day, finally got to use it a bit today. So far it seems pretty great. Got it at costco and they throw a ton of extra goodies into the bundle. its the same price as the normal kit lens + 55-250 lens bundle everyone else has, but it also comes with a gadget bag, extra battery, 32gb class 10 sd card, and even the hdmi cable canon wants $60 for. I wonder if it will be able to replace my 1d mk3 for my purposes. I love that camera but after I got it my photography slowed way down because that drat thing is way too big and heavy to carry everywhere like I used to. If I sell it I could afford some super nice glass... My plan (read: in my dreams) is to get a good, but not bleeding edge, crop camera for action/reach, like the 70d, or maybe the 7dmk2 down the line. And a good, but not bleeding edge full frame camera for portraits/landscapes and etc, like the 6d.

Does anybody know if there is an EF film Rebel that runs off the same Li-Ion batteries as the modern digital SLRs (specifically the 40D, I don't know if batteries have changed in more recent bodies)? And/or EF film Rebels that will power IS? (My inherited 1000F does not appear to power the IS on my 70-300, and I wouldn't be surprised if no film Rebel does, since I don't know when they started putting IS in lenses.)

I don't know any film cameras that use the modern batteries and I doubt any do as almost all of the modern ones use batteries that are unique to them. All of the old EF film cameras I've seen use either AA or some version of CR. Canon image stabilization came out in 1995, so presumably any camera made after then will work with it, though I'm surprised it's not backwards compatible. I know it works with my Eos3, which came out in 1998. Edit: According to Canon, "IS lenses work with all EOS cameras, regardless of when they were introduced", which is what I expected. They do list some idiosyncrasies for various models though. TheLastManStanding fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jul 4, 2014 |

Sup Costco 70D bundle buddy. I got the same camera deal a few months ago, and I've loved it ever since. The 70D has been a great camera thus far, and I'm looking forward to pushing the limits of what it can do and going bankrupt on new glass in the process.

Yeah, but yours only has a 4 stop aperture range. (Sadly, it also looks better made)

We have that same spaghetti measuring tool, and it's inaccurate. The "2" setting is plenty for 3 people. Also the minimum aperture is kind of ridiculous.

Dont you just.. like.. get used to how much spaghetti you use? Do you cook it once a year or something or is this your first time? In other news running Western Europe like a boss with my kit lens and 450D. But this was shot with.. a nifty 50 1.8!
