Anyone tried Magic Lantern yet? Feel like putting it into my M since manual focusing is so hard sometimes and heard that it can extend the shutter time to more than 30 secs?

Dug out my old HDD (from the old computer which is broken), found some old shots that I really liked.

Not sure if this bird shot is posted before though.

Guys, is there any possibilities that there's fake or imitated canon DSLR?
*
even if there's any, they can only imitate the out look i think. the moment you press the shutter to take any image, everything will be revealed. making a camera is a lot complex and hard compared to phone.

For the ISO you need to set according to the light condition, or let the camera decide in AUTO ISO. But for product or still shot, is better to have cleaner image or image with less noise, so you need a steady support or tripod to help you with the shot. Have some test shot and see how the camera perform in high ISO and try to avoid getting more noise into picture. But remember, a 'noisy' picture is always better than a blurry picture.

I also wonder how other people got great shot, but i think the only way is shoot more and learn from the mistakes. For me, if you pass me any camera i will also take the same type of shot, as is still the same user with the same mind set. Lens do matter more because they can retain a greater resale value compared to body and photography is like another type of investment.

So what body and lens does not drag me down from getting the shot i wanted, in fact i am using a 10 years old plus DSLR and it still serve me good.  smile.gif

Will COD a 5D classic next week if nothing goes wrong.

Anything specific things that require special attention to check on the spot for such an old camera?

Rubber covers are sure to be brittle and i myself am not picky so meh.

I used one before for 2 days that has a much worse condition compared to the one I am going to buy, even full of scratches and dents, it still fired shots by shots without fail. So I am actually not so worried about it, just asking to make sure I don't left behind any details.

Thanks for the reply biggrin.gif

Hi bros, need some suggestion. Recently think to upgrade my set from 500D. Below is my consider list :

1. 5DMark2 + 17-40L
2. 5DMark2 + 24-105L
3. 6D + 17-40L
4. 6D + 24-105L
5. 70D + 17-55

I mostly shooting on travel + landscape, no shooting much on portraits but sometime might shoot for my friend's events. Compare 17-40L and 24-105L which is more suitable? IQ which is better? And surprising why 6D is cheaper than 5DMark2 yet 6D is more latest and more high ISO capabilities?  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif
*
go for the 6D, it's lighter, brand new sensor which is crazy in High ISO, smaller, has Wifi (you don't know how useful it is until you try it), and it's a new camera so always a bonus compared to used one. cons compared to the 5D II is more plasticky build, 1/4000 instead of 1/8000 max shutter speed (1 stop of difference), less weather sealed (some might say they are on par but the 5D II is magnesium alloy instead of plastic parts on the 6D). That's what I think would matter for most users anyways.

QUOTE(ghoster @ Sep 12 2014, 11:03 AM)
u meant 5DMiii? base from canon's website, 6D categorize as semi-pro, means it as same level as 7D, 70D etc eventho its a full frame body.

but base from the specs, there's a difference. 5DMKii is way better performance than a 6D, maybe thats why its cheaper. the replacement of 5Dmkii is 5Dmkiii, not 6D
this is base from my 5 minutes research. just trying to help smile.gif
*
not true imo, it's an older camera that uses older sensor. yes it's a category higher compared to the 6D, but the 6D is a lot newer and boasts more modern features.

I have used the 6D before and I really liked it for the small size and light weight, the shutter was really quiet too (useful for those who shoot in quiet places or street).

The first picture superb! Which macro lens are you using?

Thanks smile.gif

I am not using any macro lens, just the EOS M with 22mm f2 STM lens.

QUOTE(Rice_Owl84 @ Sep 14 2014, 02:29 PM)
Photokina starts at Sept 16.  Products get showcased there, but usually those products only gets in the market in November.  If you are in no hurry you can wait and see what the future holds for Canon.  I really hope Canon is upping their game through Photokina. 

Especially with the 7D mk2.  Since that is their flagship APSC camera they better make that super awesome.  And also since they rarely change it after so long I think people will be looking at this camera to determine Canon's future.  Competition is getting tough and with people switching systems, Canon probably should have gotten the hint how much this camera means.  And considering how long they waited to update it better make everyone go WOW. 

Anyways I see rumours about them using 15-85mm STM as the new kit lens for the 7d mkii.  Is STM better than USM for them to even do this?
*
After trying out a few STM lenses, I actually liked them more than USM. I think STM can make a lens smaller because it uses focus-by-wire instead of mechanical focusing. It is also a lot more quiet than USM.

I just bought the 10-18 stm this week and loving it.

Pro
Macro like capabilities are awesome,
Really quiet and there were few instances i was wondering "is this thing working?". I was shaking shaking the lens to make sure no broken parts.
Really wide at 10 and coupled with a tilting LCD makes great angle for landscape photography
I dunno what is this focus by wire thing, but i hope the wire last if we are talking about flex cables.
Very Fast focusing, how to not fast 10-18 only not 18-200, fast until i cannot see it focusing and was wondering "is this thing working?"

Cons
Pics looks a lil' bit stretched distorted at 10 but heck not a con for me just to inform u all.

Hope for the future
10-85 IS STM 2.8, metal mount(cause i assume it would be heavier for the extra range, i dun mind lighter getting old dy)
One lens conquer it all (My precious!!!!)
*
haha yeah, had the same experience when i first use the 18-135 stm. the focusing was so quiet and stealthy (nothing moving around the barrel like USM and normal motor). i think it's normal for things to get stretched and distorted at corner at that focal length?

the 10-85 would be impossible to made, UWA to 18-55 to 85 + f2.8 are simply too much to put into a lens.

nah, the bokeh is created by the lens itself, not the JPEG processing.

I must say once again I am amazed by the IQ of the M+22mm combo. Images are tack sharp even at f2 with closest focusing distance. for rm1k, you are getting a lot of performance. (or even lower than rm1k with the new dropping of price).

I think the 7D II is only good for sports shooter. Most people will still buy the 70D instead, more features compared to the 7D other than AF and burst.

Exactly the same thought over here. It seems like Canon wants people to take the 7D II as a professional sports orientated camera instead of enthusiast focused general purpose camera like the 70D. It lacks Wifi, tilty/flippy screen, touchscreen which a lot hobbyist would prefer to have.

Nevertheless, I believed it's a good camera for wildlife/ sports shooter who needs a camera that gives more reach (1.6x) crop instead of FF like 1Dx.

i know, but it's narrowing the market by not adding those features. Who don't like better featured camera anyways?

QUOTE(goldfries @ Sep 16 2014, 06:40 PM)
Canon's doing a horrible job with it then.

7D's strength is in its weather-seal yet the only way to get it to be weather seal is with L lenses like 17-40 and 16-35. Sorry, you won't be getting any IS + f2.8 on those. They lack the range too.

No UWA with weather seal too. Going to tough places and want UWA? 7D is not for you.

yeah what a pity, Canon has good IQ EF-S but not good BUILD EF-S. laugh.gif
