Guess new thread should start about new things. Like in 2 months time we will see new Canon goodies like the new Canon 7D Mark 2!

Considering Canon hardly updates the 7D I will be disappointed if the mk2 doesn't come with 4K video.

wah so quiet here

anyway here's how to make canon’s New DPP 4.0 Works With SL1/100D, T4i/650D, EOS M, 70D, and T5i/700D Raw Files (with a little trick)

http://www.canonwatch.com/canons-new-dpp-4...s-little-trick/

Is it worth the effort? Judge by yourself with the 2 images below, which show the results on a RAW file from an EOS M (image credit: T.K_Photo/Slrclub). The first one is DPP 3.14, the second one DPP 4.0. Head over to Slrclub to see full size images, but even from the samples below you can note that the file produced by DPP 4.0 has more details and is sharper.

Looks like got slight improvement

anyone interesting on 1100d or 430exII flash?

Many Camera manufacturer are moving towards 4K
Really interested to see this new format on upcoming Canon cameras!
All lower resolution video cameras will lose their value soon. Even BMPCC has a 40% discount.

Only quirk is the my lack of 4K monitors and capable video editing rig to handle 4K footages lol.

Oh DPP, The free software that comes with the camera, i never installed it, I assumed it is a basic function photo software as compared to photoshop and photoshop would have more tutorial online. Looks like slight improvement in CA in the middle of stork wings. but this is close up which i rarely shoot.

Thanks for sharing maybe someday I would use it.

I was contemplating between ordering the 70d and 7D from Lazada as the price is so similar (body only). I was wondering if buying xxD series would be considered downgrade since it is not magnesium alloy body and consider high end rebels. In the end i bought none and end up wih 60d cause cheaper. Haha, my hand was moving on the joystick area and I was like, hmmm, cannot be why am I moving my thumb near this area, and there is nothing here, then i took out my 20d , ou... i am so used to the joystick there.

Sorry what is BMPCC? New to this video thing, when u say video cams, you dont mean dslr with video capabilities right, u meant video cams in specific.

long no bring dslr out to play, finally brought out to play in the morning while having breakfast

Hi guys,

Been awhile since im here, looking for inspirations of photography,

where do you guys find em?

I use to browse a lot of pictures online and go "Ah, I want to do something like this", Go read read how to do it and make a replica of it. This is all a learning process as we understand the theory behind each shot and we can apply them later. I think i understand how you feel, the more you look at pictures online, the more similarity you see landscape landscape landscape, rule of third potrait rule of third potrait rule of third potrait , and at one time it was HDR HDR HDR. You see until you want to puke everyone take the same pictures.

Maybe you do like silver above, when you look at it again, you will remember "Oh i took this picture because yada yada yada" it brings you memories when you look at it and at the same time you can frame it, edit it etc etc as artistic as you like and share it.


Nowadays I see got public event, i will go and mingle and shoot and then get to know people. Whilst there, i apply whatever I have learned rule of third, cropped framing, leading lines etc etc and shoot whatever subject i find interesting or whatever the event is. I DON'T prefer stage event as there are always dancing dancing, talking talking, real damn boring. From there you will find your inspiration, even a light bulb, a tree, or a traffic light, just stare and visualise a shot. Hey this helps me meet people and I can ask them if they ever need a photog, they can call me. Gotta make some money to pay for your gears right . Im not a pro just a hobbyist.

Should be quite free now since you've already finished your finals. Is that Connaught Dim Sum btw?

Long time didn't bring my DSLR out too. Should bring it out someday.

This post has been edited by Xiia0Ban: Jul 20 2014, 09:21 AM

i always visit 500px for awesome pictures and inspirations.

Those indepth interviews / tutorials always make me wanting to shoot more.

http://iso.500px.com/

BMCC & BMPCC are the Black Magic Cinema Cameras & Black Magic Pocket Cinema Cameras.

They are not common because they are not easy cameras to use.

Damn nice!

Anyone here has experience with sigma 85mm f1.4 before? Planning to get one for portrait usage but reviews said that the autofocus isn't that good. If so, using it on my eos m with contrast detection autofocus will improve the accuracy or not?

Side questions, since I am looking for a good lens for portrait with big aperture, is there any other lens to recommend? Budget between 1k-2k.

Anything with contract detection will be 100% accurate , normally u will face off focus is on phase detection , hope that help

Yeah I notice that, used a 50mm f1.8 on the M last week, autofocus speed was a lot faster than my expectation, almost on par with my 550d, more importantly is its quite accurate. Any suggestions to the lens choice BTW?

if u use contract detection , just pick any lens will do , if phase detection then u need to calibrate if it's off

pixoto

BMPCC, Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera.
Essentially a (relatively) small camera with 1080p RAW capabilities.

Well, even DSLR will be affected to some degree as a lot of budget film makers are using DSLR as their main cameras as well.
If Canon 7D2 does have 4K function, it will boost it sales by quite a bit.

However as of now, Sony A7s remains the best budget DSLR for video.

something fun
DSC02457-2hd by Cruxiaer, on Flickr

Finally bought myself a new addition to my gear, Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 non-VC.



I was wavering between the VC and non-VC version of the lens, but ultimately decided to buy the non-VC version. I tried my friend's VC version and I didn't quite like its VC mechanism. Though it might be useful, for an ordinary hobbyist like me, the price difference isn't enough to justify the functionality.

This post has been edited by vankodoq: Jul 21 2014, 09:08 AM

Wah congrats on your purchase, no need VC lah. This range not zoom kao kao so won't be shaking if you zoom to 50 and hand held, unless you ahpek hands.

Wah how you manage to find that lens? One of the most wanted telephoto lens from Canon o.o

Asia Pacific University which is previously known as APIIT or UCTI.

How much? Can buy a car already for the amount of money right? Haha ,would be really surprised to know the actual price.

brought a Tokina 11-16 last week from a LYN member for 1.1k

feel wow with such wide perspective after using kit lens all the while

wah this one bokeh power even better then the 851.2ii good to shoot liang moi...post some lah! I might buy the 2.0 someday but now my shooting seem to suggest the 851.2lii more suitable...

This post has been edited by thelightside: Jul 21 2014, 11:35 PM

dear all sifus, wanna ask ur suggestions...should I sell of my canon 40mm f2.8 and buy a sigma 17-50 f2.8? coz it covers the range already..I just bought I less than a month... =( got anyone interested boh this pancake lens??

I don't own both the lens so but i can only suggest you consider based on what you want to do with it.

Prime lenses generally gives higher quality picture in being crisp and sharp. Since it is a pancake lens it is light too.

Zoom lens give you flexibility in range and since it is fast at 2.8 definitely a go go, normally prime will give better quality pics but nowadays tech has improved and i believe it will give you pics that are just as good.

In terms of quality of picture , you can go compare web reviews side by side comparison. But i believe it is only when you zoom into the details then you see the difference or such as Chromatic abberation and vignette and etc.

In Conclusion, for myself i would prefer zoom lens and even if the quality lacks a bit in terms of CA, Vignetting and sharpness.

Happy deciding.

if I were you, I will keep the 40 (which I think nice for travelling as it is light) so that I can play with prime and the 17-50 for zoom in and out if conditions do not permit me to move a lot.

I just started a thread to share/bulk/combine/tumpang orders from BnH so we can all buy cheaper stuff

haha!! no la just bought used set

alright will share some photo here just hobbyist and C&C always welcome

hey... what is the exact price of battery charger LC-E6E?
canon website shows rm279
shops give rm350
canon customer service-first say its 279, then say price is vary depending on location, and then say its the dealer what mark up price thing.

what is the actual price?

hai all,,

i need little explanation for pros n cons between using build in flash pop up with dedicated flash..

also i have model EOS 7D so what model dedicated flash suitable for this camera?

thanks

RM270 in this shop:

http://www.miyamondo.com.my/store/product....cat=3058&page=1

A dedicated flash gun is always preferable to the pop up flash. Using a flash gun allows you to be creative with the light and bounce light of various surfaces at various angles giving you a better picture. Direct flash is pretty undesirable in most cases.

If you're just a hobbyist, the Canon 430EX II is more than enough for you. Plenty of power and can bounce too. If that's too expensive you could probably look at third party alternatives like some of the Nissin flashes.

thanks for your reply

Dealers are advised to not sell above the recommended retail pricing.
It should be lesser than RM 250 usually.

If you're spending RM 300, might as well get one of those multichargers.

Bro, if u interesting on 430exII , i got a unit to letgo, since i already quite dslr, no point for me to keep the flash, drop me a pm i might give special price to canon member

Hi vankodoq, how do you find your new gear tamron 1750 2.8? I am currently torn between tamron and sigma (with OS) i.e price differences.

Ohhh, another thing, heard that Lazada selling grey set lenses, is it true? I am contemplating of buying lens from there. Can anyone helps to clear my doubts?
Thanks.

Here are the review regarding Canon 1755, Tamron 1750, Sigma 1750 and Sigma 1835.

IIANM import set is also known as grey set. The price is cheaper than ori set but you're not covered with manufacturer warranty.

Hello, I'm planning to let go of my full set of Canon EOS 500D. Can recommend any shops that takes in used DSLR with fair price? Thanks!

the "fair price" at trade-in shops will never be "fair price" for consumers.

I know but at least not someone that will rip me off for something I can sell at an acceptable price. The flash in the camera wouldn't pop up so I think it's quite difficult to sell it in the forum.

I don't see many shops that do used cameras. But you can try these guys http://kldslr.com/

FYI, I've never tried them so I don't know much about them.

This post has been edited by Rice_Owl84: Jul 30 2014, 04:47 PM

Thanks! I'll contact them

You have higher chance selling it higher at a forum than at a shop.
Pop up flash spoilt ? Just reduce price by 10%-25% of the market price.

A second hand 500D (Body only) would be about Rm 600-700.
Perhaps you can try to let it go at RM 450-550.

This post has been edited by LegendLee: Jul 30 2014, 10:26 PM

Hi Friend,

Try this for saving your pop up flash, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9ePwa0HDGA.

It is a common problem with Canon DSLR (I cannot say so for other brand as I have not used them) if you use external flash for a long period of time. I have to readjust once in a while after 3/4 hour event shoot as the external flash have been there for a long time and the contact button is stuck. Take a paper clip of what ever that can reach to fiddle the button under the metal in hot shoe.

Happy selling, market rate is around RM600 for 500D for body only and RM700 For 550D, Of course if you go to shop they will have to take it in for lower because they need to sell it for a profit.

Good Luck!

70D owner.

I m switching to M43 bro.

I usually shoots RAW, and edit in Lightroom or Photoshop.

Added you bro, post some pictures and techniques & setting to share.

Oops, my bad quoted wrong person, wanted to reply to another member.

Cool, I also feel like buying one to play, maybe next time.

The other day I ask what is to be removed, they say I can remove the construction tent poles and etc.

Haha, now they want it all back in cept for the poles.

So wasted nobody enjoy my artistic rendering so i post to share here.

Any higher resolution? It's too small to judge

Hi Xiia0Ban, appreciate n thanks for the feedback. Phew! sigma 1750 is so much expensive

Have taken both photos at same distance, but why the 1st photo can't get the pet in focus?

Blur behind bars

Pets are in focus

I am attempting to use the auto focus feature of 70D and hope to learn further.

This post has been edited by tboxmy: Aug 1 2014, 12:49 AM

Guys, how do I show the photos from Flicker here?

In other forums, I have the option for attachment. Here, I do not have this option.


This post has been edited by tboxmy: Aug 1 2014, 12:49 AM

Because the pet is on the same plane as the bar so it will confuse which to focus.

I have always set the focus point to the middle and use that middle focus point for it to autofocus. 99% accurate, 1% for failing in shooting small subject far away.

Strangely I managed to get the focus once as is shown in 2nd photo. Just could not get the focus again despite many attempts to change zoom, f stops. What should I do without doing manual focus?

1. Keep autofocus on, set focus point to middle.
2. Aim your middle focus point on animal through viewfinder
3. Half press shutter so it locks focus and don't let go, recompose.
4. Full press shutter

sigma 50mm f1.4 compatible to 6D?

Using Autofocus is like betting on lottery on those scenario. You may want to use Auto when you are shooting sports and etc with AI servo on.

First pic, auto focus hit the cage metal, not the subject pet.
2nd pic, auto focus might hit part of ya pet but still it's not a perfect one.

You may want to review the pic on ya cam for which AF point it use on those pic and try to get some idea why it look soo funny/ no in focus.

Anyway, learn to manually set the focus point, you have either 11 or 9 AF point... so explore and play with it. Get yourself familiar composing using different AF point on your viewfinder. As you progress, you might use wunna use center AF with focus /recompose technique.

For me the later F and R works better as my 5d2 had extra 6 assist AF point surrounding the center AF.

Bro, i just viewed your flickr album..damn nice portraiture there..
May i know which lens you using for all the portrait photos?

Hi guys, recently managed to found a 5D on sale. The condition is almost perfect (out look), but when i ask the seller about the shutter count, he says 5D can't check since it's an old camera? Is it true?

hi guys, any recommendations for monitors around 23 - 24 inch IPS monitor ? budget below 1k.. for photo editing cz my laptop screen is not accurate.. >.<

lol thank you, my album had been stagnant for quite sometime. hmmm I use mixture of 50 F1.8, 90F2.8, 135F2L, 24-105L, 70-200L. Sooo .. i had no idea, cant really recall unless I dig back the Exif lol. But mostly 135.

If you have something to sell, put it on your signature.

Yes it is. I used to have one with my 5D2 and later on 5D3. Wonderful lens. If you can get the new Art version even better.

Buy gear pay gold, sell out macam selling empty tin can ... might as well keep it as toy for my 1 year old dotter
Btw not selling or buying anything as current gears is more then enuff for my requirement. Also I don't see any upgrade in another 3~5 year time unless the body kong first.

How about with the standard lens and all full package? At least RM1K probably? Found a few that offered at such price.

You need to get it colour calibrated as well

hw to do it?

I haven't bought any new stuff for 3 - 4 years now I think.

The last lens I bought was my 10-22 I think, that also was in 2011 if I'm not mistaken, or was it 2012.

My 60D no change for now. Probably will get a 2nd / 3rd body for video works. Maybe a 70D and 100D or something along the lines of that.

1. buy a good monitor.
2. buy a color calibration too like Spyder4Express.

http://spyder.datacolor.com/portfolio-view/spyder4express/

Thumbs up for 70D. Hybrid AF & flip screen which are good for video shooting.
