I like the black-and-white version better. And IMHO, if you can isolate the sweeping(?) man, it might be better still.

something like remove people from the final result like stacking a few pictures? no try before, anyone expert here? actually the color version is the one directly from the black and white version by turning the black and white off in Lightroom. perhaps I should do some tweaking for color version

that's easy, but you need a tripod around because you want the EXACT frame.

If the person leave quickly enough, can still try to align it later.
The align layer function in photoshop does come in handy sometimes.

that you have to be quite stable and go with burst mode for better chance of salvaging.

problem is if it's tourist spot, usually will have overlap of people and such, still best to have tripod.

Yeap, you're right.
Anything longer than a burst shot... I wouldn't be comfortable not using a tripod.

Guys,

Currently I'm using canon 450D, Tamron 2.8 17-50mm with a normal lowgrade Nissin flash.

You see my 450D started to give me problem and I considering have it upgrade. Do you any suggestion? the price of the 70D looks very attractive to me. But some people just tell me to get a 7D Mk II.

What do you think?? Please advise.

All come to budget and your 'wants' . If you do alot sports photography, probably 7D2 is good for you...else i don't see why 70D isn't a good body.

Something to share about Canon Shop in Midvalley as well.

A friend of mine went there last week to test out 50mm F1.4.

The lens was original in the DISPLAY showcase (all the lenses there meant for DISPLAY) - he asked to take out as he wanted to test

Upon the staff handover the lens to him (before mount to those DEMO bodies), he just did a LIGHT shaking the lens to see the construction (to see any loose part or poor build or not), press the AF button to MF and play around with the focus ring....

Guess what, immediately the staff day told my friend..".hello SIR, by doing this we can NO LONGER sell off this lens since your shaking will cause AF mis-allignment , after this we to TABAO this lens sent back to Canon Malaysia (to return back to Canon) ...after than he somemore repeated the same thing to another staff (gang of him - only 2 fella there) by saying...."hey....DO U Have any friend wanted this lens since now the lens CANNOT BE sell anymore.....let sell cheap cheap like RM500-600) to your friend or later our shop just 'absorb' the lens cost.....

My friend was like WTF... why they are SO RUDE and So ABSURD !....To me is that...COME ON ! Canon lens CANNOT hand cannot handle handshaking ??? This lens (50mm F1.4) somemore NO Image Stabilizer...and he dare to said such a stupxx thing ??? Holy....no wonder alot of ppl commented nowadays CANON service is getting bad to worse......

Sigh....

So their rudeness is leading to push and sell a 50mm F1.4 for RM 500-600? That's cheaper than 2nd hand. Use their rudeness and stupidity against them. For a good condition Canon 50mm F1.4 for RM 500 is a crazy bargain. I'd buy it even if I didn't want it. Can resell straight to another shop for profit.

Next time I go there and shake the 5d mark 3. And hope they say "wah cannot sell anymore you must buy for RM 3000!"

LOLed hard when reading this.

let's try the plan

RM 500-600 for a 50mm f/1.4 is a bargain. I will buy and resell it.

7D2 is attractive as it's a full frame. But have to sale off current lens. And my SD card all canot use oledi.

I'm thinking of upgrade but just not sure how far should I go. The price differences is not so huge also. Got to think about it carefully.

7D mk2 is not full frame and it can use both CF and SD cards. Look it up carefully.

I see. It's APSC. Ops. Ok ok. Will check and see.

my friend did challenging them back but their smiley doggy face just refuse to sell @ 500-600. Obviously they 'played' my friend la....

you found your answer yourself

7D2 - only get it if you really need those super duper AF, weather seal and multi card.

If not then 70D serves the purpose at around half the price.

quite sure the 7D2 is A LOT more expensive than the 70D (around 2x the price as goldfries stated), and has some features that most people wont even need anyways so the 70D would be a more logical choice unless you needed those powerful features.

haha did he submit any complaints or so afterwards?
