(maybe go easier way but I just got this so dunno) 4. two hand again to change the flash compensation again stupid! (maybe go easier way but I just got this so dunno) 5. I prefer 5d3 way when 1 button can two function but on 1d 1 button 1 function! stupid! (maybe go easier way but I just got this so dunno) 6. heavy heay heavy 7. quite a few more but I malas want to list, most are just annoyances... also alexlimco please add me to the 1dx/1dc user list ,also add me to 5d2,5d3,60d user if you don't mind...thanks now need to makan really lots and lots of maggeeeeeee...

Was out for a shoot around Pavilion yesterday morning with some friends. Guards came to chase us away and only left us alone when we went to the side walls opposite Marriot hotel to shoot. Did not know that you have to apply officially to the mall for shoots within their compound.

I think the guards apply some level of discrimination. If you bring a mirrorless, they won't kacau so much compared to those DSLR with BGRIP and some lens with huge hoods.

Is 650D, 700D, 60D and 7D sharing the same sensor? I check the hardware specs all have 18 megapixels. Is it really a coincidence?

not coincidence. FYI it's been 18MP on entry level body since the 550D, which was launched after the 7D.
the 7D is stuck as it is and it's probably a sign of 7D2 coming cos after the 7D there's the 550D / 600D / 650D / 700D. |

Finally bought my Yongnuo 560 II yesterday, was easier to use than I expected. A sample shot of using only one flash and bounced on a white wall.
 Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 OS HSM by tuna97, on Flickr Also borrowed the Sigma from my friend today, I must say the lens is really heavy to use and feel unbalanced on my 550D. Image is quite soft at f2.8 but sharp at f4. The focusing is quite slow imo, almost the same speed as my 18-135mm only, the sound of the OS is quite loud too. But overall quite a good lens to play with . |

Yep...weather sealing is nice... just rinsed the back of the camera the other to the shock of my colleagues. Hahaha... just have to make sure the mount don't get wet since my lens is not weather sealed.Not only that, the body is a lot stronger than the XXX and XX series camera. Will take minor bumps a lot better. Its more expensive for a reason. The only thing I don't like about the 7D is the softness due to the strong AA filter. Let me know when you are going to organize the paintball shoot. If I'm around in KL I might join. |

Guys, it is normal price to pay RM50 for postage fees to service my canon lens from east malaysia to west malaysia? n they say it may take up to 2 months. hmmmm i hav no choice but to wait now.
I got my filter stuck onto the lens, try several methods online but still failed to unscrew it. so have to use the warranty service to cut the stuck filter out from my lens. will there by another charges? will canon call me before they charge me more?

Oh sh!t Flickr what have you done now
  Btw, there is an option to let your shared pictures be viewable to a maximum of 2048pixels, but good thing is that the public can't access your original size Edit: I kinda like the change to be honest, I used to think the old Flickr UI is kinda boring, this is definitely something fresh. Btw love the homescreen, big picture thumbnails FTW! This post has been edited by -kytz-: May 21 2013, 03:22 PM |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ May 21 2013, 03:18 PM) Oh sh!t Flickr what have you done now I like it a lot too, but not too fancy about Btw, there is an option to let your shared pictures be viewable to a maximum of 2048pixels, but good thing is that the public can't access your original size Edit: I kinda like the change to be honest, I used to think the old Flickr UI is kinda boring, this is definitely something fresh. Btw love the homescreen, big picture thumbnails FTW! After reading pages of discussions I concluded that: Re-curring Pro Flickr accounts can renew Pro subscription but minimum is 2 years. One time pro account may not be able to renew subscription and will be switched to Free account. This post has been edited by Icehart: May 21 2013, 06:26 PM |

EXACTLY!! I'm glad you saw that. not just angles. note the way he posed the couples, compose the scene and all.
problem is I see so many damn n00b, nothing of the above achieved already start to want to PP Keda style. Did you know that if you manage to do all the above things correct, even without the PPing of Z style also your photo would score high marks already. Knowing how to process colors Z style doesn't bring you anywhere. In fact why follow people's style, right? |

I love the way Keda lights his subjects and the way he brings the environment into play. I look at his shots every week and every time I discover something new even though I've seen the shots before. Sometimes learning by imitating is the fastest way to go before we develop our own style.

Yes but many people are doing it the wrong way.
They start by imitating the PPing style. By the time they learn up the PP style - they still haven't learn the basics 1. pose 2. composition 3. lighting All those are the basis to get a good base for PP to shine. Many people don't see that. |

The composition and lighting are totally amazing.. Now I start use his photo as reference for compo and lighting. He playing around with scene, shape, line and unique angle to achieve a great photo. problem is I see so many damn n00b, nothing of the above achieved already start to want to PP Keda style. Did you know that if you manage to do all the above things correct, even without the PPing of Z style also your photo would score high marks already.

Z style editing like decoration for a piece of great cake. Good to eat and nice to see. |

They allow you to enter the pit to snap shots? Never knew it was allowed to do so. If that's the case then maybe you need to do a little PP to reduce the overexposure on the front part and to pull back some details from the shadow at the back. |

I had that occurred to me in my Nikon 17-55 f/2.8, basically it was exposed to a drizzle for about an hour or two. It then dried up and left obvious stain inside a few elements. The lens became 10X more prone to flaring and ghosting as well. So yeah, having a plastic bag or rather those specialised cover will help prevent that to a certain extend. |

Just got myself a 6D. Try registering warranty online for free gift. Supposed to entitle a bag and a strap, however, there is no option to select the free bag. Anyone could share the opinion?

Supposed to entitle a bag and a strap, however, there is no option to select the free bag. Anyone could share the opinion? U need to get it registered first and when approved a "e-Promo" button will appear on the row that your camera is listed. Click that and redeem. |

XiuKeong Not too bad.
I'll be buying the 40mm tomorrow because I need a short MFD. Miss my Tammy 28-75mm. My current 2870L's MFD seems to be a longer, difficult to get any food shots in restaurant. |

Though the focusing is fast in this lens but the lack of IS does make a difference. I had that lens before but was stolen. Now I have the 70-200 f/4 IS version and happy about it. Though I seldom use tele-lens but it is a good companion among my other lenses. |

Share on blurry, shaky photo. I was on the truck pulling the car at the back while the commercial was being shot. Thank God for high ISO and the IS function on the 70-200 otherwise this picture would have been a real loss.

Long story short. Whole session the director was trying to get them to smile and laugh. But they are too tired after waiting for 7 hours for their turn. Somehow they managed to give a really good smile in the end and I only had this as keepers.

I feel the sengetness can be felt because the picture is not symmetrical. See the road leading up to the mansion, if you shot from the middle of the road, maybe it won't feel senget.

You'll need an external setup to record sound. Users attracted by the low cost of a used 50D must also take into account that recording video requires very fast CF cards, which are themselves expensive. |

no IS and weather seal is fine. I just mind the weight. f2.8 is really helpful under some conditions.

if you selling off then i get from you.
my 70-200 F4 is good for photos but video is a problem without IS when at long range and not on tripod. even on tripod also when do focusing, slight touch and it magnifies the wobble. |

To me those are nice photos.
But if me, (me only ah) I will edit it to be more punchy, to get the dramatic feel. And can crop a bit on the empty spaces. This post has been edited by fruitie: May 29 2013, 11:13 PM |

Yah, yah. My bad. You can try with your 50 1.8 or your kit lens. I've got many friends who shot the Milky using the 18-55.

was at the launch. i tested 101 other things on the 100D except touch screen cos I didn't even remember it has touch screen.
Sure I saw people touching it but I was busy getting the feel of the body and how it feels changing settings. Overall - I'm pretty comfortable with it. The d-pad has no functions though, unlike the other entry level where the top / left / right / down buttons have some function tied to it. |

Had a chance to play with L lens for my first time. The 16-35 is just awesome! Its so quick in focusing and sharp, love the perspective produced by it. Another one is the 70-200 f2.8 is II, wow, this monster is so heavy, hand holding it is quick hard although with IS, the slowest shutter speed I can get with it is 1/20 only. This lens focuses even faster than the 16-35 imo, and it is crazily sharp, using it on crop sensor to shoot would be troublesome sometimes as the 70mm is still very tele for half/full body shoot, and you might get blocked by a lot of people if shooting in group.
damn, i couldn't justify my kit lens anymore but no money, nothing to do ahah |

Not satisfy with 24105mm? Hehe, that the reason I stil not consider to go ff, 2470 f2.8 is so expensive and heavy, 1755mm f2.8 on crop is just too good that make me no reason to go ff yet, 70-200 2.8 II is heavy and hand will patah if carry whole day haha, and 70200 + 1635 will burn ur pocket =.=damn, i couldn't justify my kit lens anymore but no money, nothing to do ahah |

nonono, i mean my 18-135mm kit lens, didn't even take out the lens for the 3 days trip. too bad non of my friends have ff, if not mounting the 16-35 on it would be so so so wide. they have rich parent
, but both lens are owned by two different people. such a pleasure experience to shoot whole day with these 2 canon's top L lenses. i carry my camera without strap before using the 70-200, but after mounting it, i can't stand the weight of holding it with bare hands, so i decided to use the strap and hang it around my shoulder and waist when not shooting, helps a lot. but when holding it up again, the weight is tiring.Sharing one of the photos taken by the 70-200, the lens is quite hard to use for macro shooting, you need to focus really far from the subject, and at f2.8 with the closest focusing distance, things are a bit soft and CA is there.  the little flower by tuna97, on Flickr This post has been edited by mingyuyu: May 31 2013, 08:03 PM |

The main thing I don't like with LV is the shutter delay/lag, when you press the shutter, you have to wait for the mirror to flip and the shutter to do the job, it's a lot slower than viewfinder shooting. |

But it seems pretty fine on my iPhone. Sharpness wise pretty good too, can clearly differentiate the smaller feathers on its chest. Composition wise, okla. it's not exactly the best but its not worth deleting. Not to mention this is not a macro shot. I rather use a tele lens to shoot a bird then a macro lens. |

Yes, when he is on 5dmark2, I saw he attach 70200mm and using live view to shoot, I not sure why but maybe he wan to break rules of third to frame his subject, but I think now he no need anymore since he got 5dmark3 which have more focus point and accurate |

Not all landscapes and outdoor shots need to be in wide angle. Sometimes the compression of the zoom lens can bring the subject(s) more into focus instead of shooting wide. |

Of course, that's why you need patience and luck.Especially birding. Some even spend months just to get that one perfect shot. Even with a 600mm, that won't change the fact that the birds will pose for you. |

why you all complaining Live View?
My commercial work almost all exclusively Live View leh. So convenient. Some more 60D with adjustable LCD is awesomeness. That's why till now cannot go 5D3 / 6D. I may go 6D once I find out how to HDMI out to small LCD or tablet device mounted on hotshoe or something. |

1. need to find the mount for device.
2. DSLR controller app no where near the experience on LV screen la. The response a bit sluggish (last i tried, more than a year ago). in fact I was just thinking to settle point #1 and use EOS tethering via WiFi on 6D last time but when I tested out 6D's LV over WiFi, it was quite sluggish as well. I think HDMI out to small LCD is still best. |

Had a little question about manual focusing.
I am using the 550D currently, manual focusing is easy with small aperture lens (such as my 18-135), but when using the 50mm f1.8, things get a bit harder, I can still nail the shot, but the keep rate wasn't that high though. I got interested in some manual lenses, but not sure if the small viewfinder on my 550D will make me hard to focus correctly using them. Sometimes even when the focus is right, the focus confirmation light won't light up. I was thinking if FF cameras would make manual focusing easier? |

I'm using 5D and I thought the screen was bad until I saw it myself. Try 350D then you will appreciate 5D's screen.
I was using 550D before switching to 5D and yes the screen is kinda big difference but that doesn't matter to me. The screen is just to make sure whatever I want to shoot is in frame and to see if it's OOF. |

about manual focusing, the 50mm f1.8 is a cheap lens so it doesn't come with a focusing window.
on the more advanced lenses or some old lens, the focusing window will help you determine area of focus. that said, f1.8 is very narrow DOF. |

yes. take for example situations where it's really dim. you can't see much.
what you can do is use the focusing window to estimate the area in focus. |

when you go more detail into it, DOF becomes the following
1. the plane that's in focus 2. the width of the plane that's in focus. use this http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html |

bumped into a question today. mounting extension tubes on a lens and use it for macro shooting will result in worse IQ? read somewhere saying some lenses' IQ will degrade in closer focus distance compare to far. so does it affect the IQ when mounted with extension tube?

nikon fan on the 1dx (make sure watch in hd!)
actually imho its more to do with the lens 70-200ii than the 1dx cause probably a 6d can get such quality too with the same lens when u nail the focus the 1dx however will give you stratosphere keeper rate (razor sharp focus) more than even the 5d3 This post has been edited by thelightside: Jun 8 2013, 02:44 AM |

I would say wait the 70D, I don't really suggest people getting XXXD bodies anymore after seeing what Canon did in last few years. Basically if you buy the 700D(which is totally the same with the 650D except the 360 degrees rotatable mode dial, plain stupid), the 750D will out in probably a half year to 1 year period. However as the XXD is the semi-pro DSLR, it will hold it's value better, more useful features too. And try to hold the 700D, if you find it too small, then don't buy it, because after holding a small DSLR for a long time, your hand won't feel comfortable. |

Regardless of anything, I still miss my ex-550D.
No doubt 5D has more sturdy built but holding it in long hours nearly breaks my hands. That day I weighed my usual setup: 5D+grip+2870L+580EX II = 3KG I have taken out the grip since last week, hope that discounts some of the weight away. |

QUOTE(mingyuyu @ Jun 8 2013, 08:57 PM) haha i felt the opposite with you i'm not sure young man shoulder but if you travelling early morning out going back late night you would wish you have the lightest body + lens combo i liked the bigger grip for example the 60D more. didn't encounter into the grip problem at first, but after sometimes i do feel that the 550d is really too small, wondering if adding a battery grip would help. that not add up typical 300ml mineral water and maybe a tripod. Even with bagpack for me i still feel my shoulder crying. |

The are not wide enough, at least IMHO. how about just bring a 50mm prime and maybe a wide prime? If FF, lain cerita. |

Tried a few cincai shots. I'm impressed, it is sharp.
Short MFD, how I miss this. Ever since I sold off my Tammy 28-75mm, I'm dying for short MFD lenses. 28-70L is just too long for me... |
