Rebel is a dumb name, but it obviously worked from a marketing perspective. Can't knock the hustle

I really don't understand how there can be a large enough market for all of that. Holy poo poo. I would've guessed like 10 models and still would have thought that was overkill. Best thing about Canon's point and shoot's is that you can usually get refurbished last years models for a song.

I went and had a look - I reckon this is the current line-up. On top of this they have a few superseded models which they're listing as current - I assume they have a stock they're selling off? The G series explosion is a recent thing; for a long time it was a single camera line that went through 16 iterations (G1, G2, G3... G16). I can't be bothered to look up what specs differentiate the rest, other than to say every single lens has it's own focal length range... The premium end (all 1" sensors apart from the first) PowerShot G1 X Mark II (1.5" sensor) PowerShot G3 X (an RX100 with a large lens so it's neither compact nor convenient) PowerShot G5 X (the bastard love child of an RX100 and a DSLR) PowerShot G7 X Mark II (the RX100 clone) PowerShot G9 X (extra slim) Bridge PowerShot SX60 HS PowerShot SX530 HS PowerShot SX420 P IS PowerShot SX720 HS PowerShot SX610 HS Small compacts IXUS 285 HS IXUS 180 IXUS 175 Novelties PowerShot N2 (designed for selfies) PowerShot N100 (has a rearfacing camera so takes a picture of the photographer at the same time then superimposed it in the corner...) Rugged/Waterproof PowerShot D30

Main dial on 6D gets pretty hard to spin every 3-5 clicks or so. Anyone got experience with this? I read in a couple places online that canon lubricates it as a fix and I'm wondering what they use and how they do it.

Cross post from automotive photography thread: Anyone got some advice on a good lens for action night shots? There's a free-to-watch drifting night at my local track and I shot 600ish photos and had these ones be the best of them. Pics: http://imgur.com/a/ZQntT Shot on Canon 550D with a Tamron 18-270 3.5-6.5 with stabilisation. Next time I go I will have a media pass so I can get closer, so reach won't really be an issue (these were all shot between 50-80mm), but I feel like I'm still gonna need a faster lens. I also want to get it under 6400 ISO if possible. I have a nifty fifty but I've been told it'll just be blurry mess at low f-stop. Was thinking canon 60mm macro as I would get extra use out of that shooting flowers for my girlfriend but the 100mm f2 canon seems like a better lens for the car stuff (and for daylight events) perhaps.

The larger reason you'd have blur is because of too low of a shutter speed or because the autofocus on the 50 1.8 can't keep up. The AF on the 85 1.8 is fantastic, and the lens is a terrific value.

The new fifty has very accurate AF but it's not world burning fast so it's not really an action lens The 85 and 100 are basically identical IQ build and AF wise. Pick whichever length works better for you - both are fast and accurate, and reasonably sharp wide open, very sharp stopped down

My suspicion is the trick to photographing racing cars at night is finding a spot with floodlights hitting the car, or get a body with excellent performance at high ISO. Probably a mixture of both. If you can get close enough to fill the frame with a 50mm that's fine too, but I sure as poo poo wouldn't want to be that close to a vehicle moving at speed.

Anything with a lower F stop will pretty much do wonders. Depending how far you want to be from the action anyways. I have ,y heart set on a sigma 2.8 120-300 and man I can't wait to win a small lottery to get one  It's like buy that, or save a bit more and get a MK III

Probably a mixture of both. Unfortunately the lights arent positioned that well and either block the view or the light is facing straight into the camera. The media pass will get me on the other side of the spectators fence (but still behind the tyres) and I imagine my 17-50 2.8 Tamron will be more useful. I just didnt have time to gently caress around with release forms and security deposits ($50 for a day-glo vest lol) as I was on my way to my girlfriends house and thought I would try to get some sunset shots in. Im cool with being close to race cars in this instance as drifting is relatively low speed and they mostly just spin out rather than careen off track and into the barriers. for the actually fast cars I usually just go as a spectator with my 70-300 during the day and dont have any issues.

On night racing... is there a spot you could get panning shots? That would leverage your low-light problem into

I did pan a lot of the shots. the good shots were taken from the inside of the final turn (you only do 3 turns in drifting) starting from the start of the second turn and finishing at the end of the third. Panning I got the hang of pretty quickly but still kind of tricky when you just dont have the ability to get the shutter speed where you want it.

There's a table here: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-II-DSLR-Digital-Camera-Review.aspx at about 3/4 down the page. Roughly 100,000 to 150,000 for most models, according the canon. This site was supposed to be a thing once: http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/

Hello Canon Thread, it's been a while. Well, I've finally got the money and three cool things coming up I want to shoot at, so it's time to replace the 450D. It can keep the long telephoto on it while having a wider lens on .. I'm thinking the 6D. I want to go to full frame. I want to be able to shoot excellent video. I want better low light performance and other options than my 450D. I'm thinking it's a pretty clear choice, it's another $1500 for the 5d Mark 3 and I don't think I can justify that. I shoot all sorts of stuff, but landscapes, social scenes and action are common. I don't really do 'sports' photography with a huge zoom. Any advice is more than welcome.

It's a great camera, and there are some pretty good deals floating around now (check canonrumors or canonpricewatch)- I've seen $999 gray market and under $1200 B&H. I guess think about why you don't want a 70D or 80D, which would let you use all your old lenses. I don't mean to talk you out of FF, but the 70D/80D will have better high ISO than your current camera as well and have the nice dual pixel autofocus for smooth video pulls.

I've only got the nifty 50 (which will work on the 6D) and the kit lenses, so I don't have much of a lens investment at all. edit: ooh I want smooth AF for video pulls now. The 6D will do that awesome, right?

 So .. manual focus for video? Noooooooo. No no no. That's a deal breaker, surely. That is very much not excellent video. So the 70D is a better camera for video then? Does the 5D Mark 3 have auto focus for video? I mean by 'excellent video', video that is better than a exclusively video camera. I have a GoPro and I though we were at the point where you can have a DSLR that shoots both video and stills, don't some mainstream productions use a Canon DSLR in a mount to shoot video? I can spend more to get the 5D if it's that much better, isn't that the pick in the line-up for video? The 7D2 is a crop camera though, right?

Mad Max shot a lot of their chase scenes on the 5dMk2 iirc. Might be a safe bet to assume they were running magic lantern on those cameras.

5DIII does not have dual pixel video AF. Only: timrenzi574 posted:No, the only dual pixel cameras are the 70d, 7d2, and the upcoming 80d and 1dx2 7D2/70D are crop cameras, so they won't have the high ISO performance of a modern full frame. You might be better off going with another brand (Sony, Black Magic, Panasonic) if video will be your focus.

Tony Montana posted:
Yes the 7d2 is a crop , and no the 5d3 does not have video AF. The 70D has AF , but the video quality is more like the 6D - lots of moire and aliasing. Edit: Worth noting also, that the pictures of the 80D sensor that have been published lean towards the assumption that it (like the 1DX2) has on-sensor ADC. This means that while the high ISO noise levels will not be up to the 6D standards, the low ISO shadow noise levels ought to be easily superior to it. Horses for courses, dunno which is more important to you. We have not seen what the video IQ will be on the 80D yet though, but I would assume based on how Canon has been dividing it's lines in this way, that it will implement simple line skipping like the 70D & 6D, and also suffer from moire and aliasing problems. timrenzi574 fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Mar 11, 2016 |

How about the 5D2 and OG 7D? Are they in any way better for video than a 6D and a modern video-enabled Rebel (760D?), respectively? I never use them for video (except for some fireworks that I shot with the 5D2 that I was happy with) but I'm curious.
