Indeed it sounds strange but the 70D has the best crop (1.6) sensor in any Canon body as of right now. Not surprised at all they'd use it to get even more reach out of the super-tele lenses at such an event.

If you're shooting outdoors 80%+ of the time in ok/good light the 70-300 is outstanding. If you look hard enough you can get the 70-200 f4 IS and a 1.4 TC for the same money but the quality at 280mm and f5.6 isn't as good as the 70-300 at 300. Just get the 70-300.

Canon might have to pay people to take the old M when the new one comes out. Sale prices are pretty darn low as it is. Almost makes the S and G series seem pointless depending on lens prices.

6D has the lowest long exposure noise: http://petapixel.com/2012/12/13/canon-6d-and-5dmk3-noise-comparison-for-high-iso-long-exposures/ You don't need a 5D3 to do clean long exposure and in fact would be going slightly backwards in that particular metric if you got one.

The subject was astrophotography in which case I assume they're manually focusing anyways so that godly awesome 61 pts of pure AF ownage isn't going to help.

IMO, its the ONLY body to recommend as a first DSLR now that the prices are low enough. You don't have to be experienced to appreciate the better viewfinder, ergos and learning about ISO, aperture and shutter speed is much smoother when you have the top lcd screen to give you that instant feedback and settings control.

Combat Pretzel posted:Any are certain Canon lenses white, anyway? Ostensibly to not absorb heat that could impair the operation of the lens. These things are used all day in the middle of the Serengeti after all and my all black lenses DO actually get very hot to the touch after a few hours in intense sunlight, especially the hoods although the heat doesn't affect them . In practice, they're getting "free" marketing when these things show up at sporting events, news broadcasts, etc. BEATEN.

Canon had a recall to fix prematurely failing mirrors on the 5D. A "fixed" 5D will have reinforced mirror mountings. Just google "5D mirror recall".

Mest0r posted:Thanks for all the advice on the 5D! None of the pitfalls of the camera really bother me, the only thing that's kind of a nuisance is the fact that it uses CF cards. I'll probably try to hunt one out in a month or so. 12.8 megapickles even in RAW aren't that gigantic nor does it shoot that fast anyways. You'll be fine with 4-8gb cards, no need to go hog wild on super high end CF cards.

I don't think many people even realize that lens exists. Yeah sure its as close to "normal" as you can get in a native EF mount lens but that just means its too tight for landscapes but not tight enough for portraits. Its the solution to a problem that hasn't been created...

50mm 1.4 is nice for the extra stops but the high ISO on your 6D is good enough that you can just rock a 40 pancake all day. Comical vignetting on your full frame is the only "downside".

How is it "making GBS threads" over the 24-105L? I can see that its indeed better at the wide end but slightly worse at the long end. Also, I can't find the Sigma for less than $850 while the Canon can be had for less than $700 at times. It may be better but its nowhere near the levels of ownage that the 35mm ART is over the 35mmL. Sure, people moving into full frame with no FF lenses and therefore have to get one can spring for the Sigma but if you've already got a 24-105L don't bother lifting a finger.

Tamron 150-600mm is getting me AMPED UP. Sure its f/5-6.3 but if it can maintain 5.6 up to 400mm and at least challenge the 100-400mmL there then holy balls. Also less than $1100??? And the price is sure to drop too, just look what is happening to the 24-70mm 2.8 VC. Must...have...reviews....

The Tamron is better all around up to about 150mm and from then on the Canon has better center quality but worse edges and corners. You can use in camera chromatic aberation correction with the Canon. Good if you're shooting jpeg most of the time.

http://www.ephotozine.com/article/tamron-sp-150-600mm-f-5-6-3-di-vc-usd-lens-review-23866 So maybe it might not destroy the 100-400mm @ 400mm 5.6 but less CA across the entire zoom range and that sick, sick 600mm of sniper reach is just so drat sexy. Also read somewhere that it does indeed maintain 5.6 up to 400mm (like 411mm I think?)

Just to throw another wrench into the works: http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2013/01/geometric-distortion-correction.html Long ends of zoom lenses will still produce pincushion distortion, which while not as unflattering as barrel, is still not what could be considered "perfect". Even the high and mighty 24-70mm 2.8 II has some pincushion at 70mm and that focal length is considered barely adequate for portraits on FF.

http://www.dpreview.com/news/2014/0...t&ref=title_0_1 Average build quality, probably worse image quality than the 28-300L, vignetting and CA on the short and long ends but man is it light and handy. I can see this and a 40mm on a 6D partying so hard on travel.

Anyone whos gotten a 24-105 as part of a FF kit has more reasons to keep it than sell it. Especially true for 5D3 and 6D where you can just pile on the ISOs. The Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC may only be a couple hundred bucks more than the 24-105 and therefore pretty attractive if you buy body only but don't forget about that 82mm filter size.

T5i is nice if you've never had to experience any of the older rebels before and in fact probably makes for a nice crop sensor companion to the 6D for extra telephoto reach. Other than ergonomics and a slight build quality disadvantage, the T5i puts the final nail in the 60D's coffin in terms of features. I'd still recommend a used 60D as a first body though since any upgrade you make after that will be configured more similarly to it than any rebel. Y'know, like a real (d)SLR should be.

Yes, sensor-wise the 7D is really showing some serious aging and rightly so but the AF is still quite decent and the viewfinder has never been bettered or even equalled by Nikon ever on a crop body.
