If you can wait a bit you'll be able to snag one from someone unloading to upgrade, or get the new one. There have been no leaks yet (?) but it's already starting to get discontinued.

The interface won't be the same, but you don't have any less control over an entry level DSLR.

They have a MILC range, it just happens to have stupid sensors. Canon's MILCs use APS-C sensors, but the AF performance is atrocious. Which is more of a problem now, but easier to change than sensor size. I don't think the Nikon entry level 24x36 DSLRs are so much better than Canon/Sony. There's just no reason for the 5d3 to be that much more money.

I don't really keep up with the APS-C stuff anymore, but it appears the ~$800 camera range is kinda laughable: The D3200's $500 gets you a t3i, but the official Canon entry level is the T4(1100D), which apparently uses the XSi (450D) sensor? If so then that's kinda sad.

Legdiian posted:Can someone explain the 1.3x DX crop? Is it just using less of the sensor and producing an image that appears to be zoomed in? Is the file size of the image going to be smaller in 1.3x mode? And finally, would I get the same results by shooting in "normal" mode and then cropping the image in an image editor? The detail on that sample image is a little ridiculous.

Pablo Bluth posted:The main thing that strike me, as a wildlife shooting Canon user, is the 6fps and an 8 RAw buffer isn't exactly pushing boundaries for top-level APS-C. By comparison the 7D does 8fps and 25 RAW, and the latest rumours are that the 7D2 will manage 10fps. That and skimping on the buttons for back-button focusing. evil_bunnY fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Feb 22, 2013 |

Your 3200 can't use its popup as a CLS commander. If you buy a flash now you will have to put it in SBU-4 (or whatever the optical slave mode is called) + either manually set the power (maybe it has thyristor auto, I dunno), and put your popup on manual power to avoid TTL preflashes that would trigger the remote. If you want TTL on a remote sb700, you need either expensive TTL radios or a commander-capable unit. This can be the popup if the body supports it (d3200 does not, unfortunately), or a unit connected to your hot shoe. evil_bunnY fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Mar 2, 2013 |

Less leakage, better directionality, better uniformity, can be harder/longer to setup, doesn't fold as small, generally more $.

I want a 35 really bad. I'm used to daily-carrying a 50/1.8, and really don't feel like going up to a 1,5 pound lens. In addition I require modern features like auto aperture (!) and AF (!!!). Any of you use a 35/2D on a modern FX camera? SoundMonkey posted:- cannot be used to float to safety if falling from great heights

I never used 3D on my D90 because as you discovered, it doesn't have enough points to make it color-track properly. Your shaky hands shouldn't have much of an impact on focus performance. I would just use the center point.

85/1.8D is nice (fringes a little bit), Sigma's 85/1.4 is good, the new 85/1.8G is also good. It's hard to gently caress up a 85.

If it's anything like the newer 2.8, it'll be stupid sharp and have silly focus breathing. What body do you shoot?
