all mine lens kena the error.
still trying to troubleshoot it by myself.

Nice bro!! Love the tone so much

haha thanks alot bro! taiwan is a beautiful country to photograph.

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?

For me i will cycle through the modes, the buttons.

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

Try cleaning the contact point on the camera side with the lens, i would use eraser. Do at your own risk.

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

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?

I started with 350D/550D then 5D and now Fujifilm X-T1.

I think it is true that this is the cycle of photography enthusiasts.

From big to bigger and goes back to smallest.

How was the Fujifilm X-T1?

assuming budget is not an issue, i suggest you go for full frame. either one 5Dmkii or 6D, as long as you can fully utilize it with your skills. in term of lens, go for one with higher F number, it'll help in low light situation, but then again, with 5Dmkii/6D in hand, it shouldnt be a problem. my personal preference, i'll go with something wider

hope this helps man

But just curious 5DM2 compare with 6D which actually better? Cause wonder why 6D price seen cheaper than 5DM2

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

Fantastic camera, love every bit of it.

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.

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).

thanks for clearing things up mate

sounds like the 6D really worth the money. i might put this into my list, others are 7D, 70D and fujifilm's X-T1

Anyways, fresh pictures taken this morning at FRIM.

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

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?
