I think Canon blew it with the 7D when they mixed still with video. To me it's one or the other so I won't be rushing out to get one. Like you I love my 50D and would like to snag a second body.


Yeah, they did mess up with putting video on their cameras, just a shame I don't like the video side of their SLRs

The modes on the SLR or powershots range cameras
Av is for things that are not in motion i.e. landscape
Tv are for things that are in motions i.e. sports events (it maybe S for noink users)
M mmmmmmm, lovely mode, best of the modes available. Fully creative mode is what most pros call it :)

So the purpose of a lens hood is to protect the lens? :unsure:
no, moslty to cut out glare.

i have a few friends who do film. they are all opting for the 5Dmk2. they love it. its small and light enough to hold steady (compared to the beasts that they normally use) they have loads of choices of lenses and get brilliant depth of field. also the full frame chip, so not much noise. I think its the way forward. i wouldnt use the function my self. but i can see its appeal.

For me I can't see the appeal, but that maybe is me.

The Canon 5D MKII is mostly sold out in most places, sparking rumours of the new MKIII coming out soon :thumbup

I just got a new lens! It's massive and doesn't fit in my camera bag! :willy_nilly: This sucks because I just got my camera bag a couple of months ago. :rolleyes: Ah welll, such is life. I feel the need to test the equipment. Be back later. :D

I'm cold-blooded so I generally don't like going outside in winter. I'm curious to know, however, at what point should I be concerned about the cold negatively affecting my camera if I'm outside taking pictures? -10C? -20C? Colder?

You have to read the manual and see what the min/max operating temperature is, although that is an estimate

the colder the temp the less time your battery stays charged....so if out and about in the winter keep a fully charged one on you close to your body to get body heat

Zirc you don't have to worry about it. They take pictures in the arctic yanno. ;)

One hot tip though. Make sure you have a nice cozy towel in both your house and your car. When you come back in from being outside wrap your camera and lens up immediately and keep it there until it's adjusted to the inside temp. That keeps the humidity from building up inside your gear.

Yeah, that was my primary concern.

I find this strange, pros shoot in jpg. Yet mere mortals like us shoot RAW :/

To be honest I have been shoot in .jpg for the last two days, and found that it is faster, yet not impossible with the exception of a few items like camera profile and others, to edit with RAW editors
