alkanphel posted:I used to be a Canon user too, but I too jumped ship. The last Canon camera I ever recommended to friends was the Canon 5D2, now I mostly recommend Sony or Fuji. Those who didn't heed my advice ended up selling off their Canons like a couple of months later when new Fuji/Sony cameras came out. To be fair, there are some reason to use Canon cameras but most of my friends don't fit into those niche use-cases.

I'd like to get more dynamic range at some point (for my handheld urbex motives), and Canon doesn't give any indications as to when they'll catch up with the competition, more like the contrary (see 7D2 sensor). Plus I've tried the A99 EVF, it is awesome and would let me reduce the rejection rate a lot when shooting handheld and wide open (focus peaking in the VF). And finally, depending on the model and its higher resolution, you get more leeway with noise. The D800/A7R sensor has better characteristics than the Canon FF sensors, while the same time being higher resolution. So you can get rid of more noise during downsampling, too. With the added benefit to be able to crop like a motherfucker otherwise. If rumors are true and the 5D4 will be revealed in February, depending on that they present (or rather don't), I'd like to make plans for an exit, before buying even more glass. I'm alternatively toying with the idea of an A7R and some cheap adapter, given that I focus mostly manually anyway, but I'm not sure of what to think of the FE-mount, especially with Sigma saying it sucks for lens design.

Huge grain of salt, but first specs rumors about the 5D4 are going around. What's hilarious is the 98% coverage on the VF. I wonder what additional unannounced features it'll have to warrant a refresh. Other than the supposed 36MP. http://www.cameraegg.org/rumors-5d-mark-iv-price-for-3799-to-be-announced-on-march-17th-2015/

IanTheM posted:Doesn't the new 7D sensor have the same pixel density as a D800? The issue with their fab tech seems to be the inability to implement specific processes. At least from what's being said. The D800 sensor has significantly better noise performance and higher dynamic range than their lower density pendants from Canon. And Canon's crop sensors with similar pixel density perform noticeably worse than their fullframe ones. So it's no surprise that there isn't a high resolution fullframe sensor from Canon. The 7DII sensor didn't really set itself apart from the rest of the crop sensors, ignoring the AF. You'd think that with introduction of dual pixel PDAF their sensor would have gotten a big overhaul, but it performs only negligibly better than a 60D.

Few pixels here and there? I thought the whole sensor are supposed to be made of those pixels. I realize that they're just used in video mode, but when messing around with the photosites, you may aswell start introducing new tech alongside.

Is it as fast as the dedicated AF module? If so, I'm surprised there aren't plans for a mirrorless DSLR-sized body with EVF yet.

If it's about their EF lens catalog, ditching the mirror while keeping the format would probably have worked fine. It'd have been a step further than where Sony wanted to go with their SLTs, but hasn't yet.

No idea. I'd expect them to honor their existing lens catalog. If there's going to be a new mount, it'll probably ship with an adapter in the box. I mean, if it's indeed due for 2015, I doubt they'll have a decent lens catalog on a new mount to start with. Maybe it'll be a body keeping the register distance, while minimizing it's depth with clever component placement. That said, I'm going to sick with my A7II order. Gonna adapt the lenses, so I'm quickly switched back with some small loss, if they release something spectacular. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Dec 3, 2014 |

Meanwhile I've just received my EF-FE adapter. But yeah, the case appears to be Canon having wanted their own fab instead of letting a third party do it. Now it's apparently too expensive to upgrade it.

Yeah, a quick google tells me that the 5D3 does pixel binning. There still has to be something with the lowpass filter, because there's a bunch of people that went through the troubles of removing it for video reasons.

rolleyes posted:I have no idea whether or not that's true as I'm no expert, but that's the rationale provided. Also, for the NX1 supposedly being better than the A7R and 5D2 at ISO 3200, former sure as hell has more perceptual noise than the other two. Same at ISO 800, the NX1 still looks slightly noisier if you spend more than a glance looking at it. If it's theoretical measurements are so super awesome, the way the noise is presented sure as hell doesn't help perception of it. --e:f,b about the DXO stuff. --edit: Actually thinking about it looking again, the default noise filtering of the RAW processor has been applied already, given there's barely any chroma noise.

Rumors are springing up that the supposedly new upcoming 53MP fullframe camera from Canon is supposed to have a Sony sensor based on a patent exchange between the two. If that one's true, gently caress me, because it puts me in a pickle. Go back to Canon eventually or stay with Sony and get Dual Pixel AF at some point in future anyway. --edit: The short term issue mostly the need to decide for a mount on mid-term (while I have an EF adapter, AF sucks). Not going to buy yet another new camera anytime soon. :| Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Jan 29, 2015 |

timrenzi574 posted:CP - have you gone and bought a bunch of E mount glass? Or is that the pickle - deciding whether to keep on trucking with EF lenses on your A7 for now with the aim of going back to Canon in the future? Thing is, while I don't have any short term plans to get more glass yet, because my EF stuff fits on the A7II with an adapter and I mostly focus manually, I am however toying with the idea of replacing my current Sigma 35mm around end of the year with the upcoming Zeiss FE one to have fast AF for when it's actually useful (stipulation being similar optical performance, because the Sigma beats the pants off the current Zeiss 35mm). If that'd play out well and the FE catalog grows by then, more options may come up. This would also involve displacing EF gear to pay for it, i.e. losing it. While I expected Canon to catch up with the competition eventually, if the rumors are true, it's happening faster than anticipated. Planning for the the long term, say two years from now, it'd probably be cheaper to hold off lens purchases for that time and spring for a Canon, than update my stuff slowly to FE. timrenzi574 posted:I would think that one is pretty easy to decide: Do you genuinely like having the smaller body, or do you think you'd prefer going back to DSLR ergonomics, and just really wanted the exposure latitude offered to you by the sony sensors. timrenzi574 posted:It's the same pixel density as a 20MP APS-C, but who knows if that can translate directly to making a larger one like that. I would think if it was that simple Sony would have already released an even higher MP one (since they make 24MP APS-C sensors), but who knows.

I suppose the crop modes in combination with the high resolution is for people that are turned off by fullframe cameras solely because of ~*~*reach*~*~. That's often the argument for tending towards the 7D series, despite wanting a 35mm sensor. And what EF-S bayonet lenses are there, anyway.

Long exposure noise tests of the 6D and 5D3. The results are certainly interesting. The 5D3 seems to introduce noise somewhere else in the signal chain, otherwise I don't see where that big difference at the 1s exposure comes from.  From http://www.brendandaveyphotography.com/?page_id=726

They're both the same lens. Samyang also sells under the brands Rokinon, Bower, Walimex, Vivitar, Falcon and god knows what depending on the region. I don't even know what the point of doing that is, but it seems to work out for them.
