Yeah. It's ridiculous that the 7D is still canon's crop flagship after 2 years. My T2i takes the exact same quality photos.

I just looked at the current price... $1600??? Is canon high on bath salts? I thought they were more like $1200 or $1000. wtf



Guess I'll look at a 60D at Best Buy in the morning. Anything with a top LCD display and faster shutter. Ah well... Thought I was gonna upgrade a lot, but $1600 for a 7D isn't happening in this lifetime. Maybe a memorial day sale?


Canon is high for the prices they ask.

However, I must stress that your t2i CAN take the same quality photos, but clearly the camera is nowhere near the same league. Just the build quality and autofocus alone are worth the extra, not to mention the speed. But yes, nuts to bolts, the IQ and high ISO performance are nearly identical.

And fwiw you should be able to find a new 7d for 1250-1300 body only pretty easily.

Link? All I saw was $1600 when I searched last night. I have $$$ in hand, ready to buy. However... I DO remember buying the thing I'm typing on last year at a Memorial Day sale, so I'll wait until Monday so that I don't get corn-holed.

The AF and build quality of the 7D DOES appeal to me, but idunno. It's an old design that still hasn't been fixed with a firmware update? amirite? I know it's a substantial upgrade from my rebels, but that price is just stupid.

Back on topic. Saw this photo while flipping through LR3 and it was hiding out in folder I completely forgot about. Nothing great about it, Just thought the bokeh (omg he said bokeh) looked nice in the background. Not bad for a 30 year old lens.

You suck! The Earth is moving around the sun at like 66k mph. I can get the sun all in one frame.

Why are you guys trying to make this into a flame war? He said I was overcropping the pics, I just pointed out that I was using a prime (it was the longest lens I had with me) and the target was moving really fast so I had very little chance to concentrate on framing. Photographing things like that is why burst mode was invented.

I fail to see the big deal. Can we move on?

metalhead - I actually like the way you cropped/captured. Having just a little bit of one of the planes off the screen gives the illusion of motion through the picture for me and doesn't deter from the shots at all. I think both your shots are wonderful. I mean I'm captain cut-a-person in half while shooting paintball...

it wasn't meant as a "flame" it was a simple critique.

i suggest you stop posting your pictures online if you get this bent out of shape over some comments.

This is almost as good as a guy on POTN getting flamed for his list of "21 tips to becoming a better photographer" on his blog, even though he is an admitted newbie to photography. He asked for critique but he got flamed. He listed Ken Rockwell as one of his beneficial resources for learning photography... he got a lot of grief for that one alone... lol

My bad.

I'm so used to OT that anything starts to look like prelude to a shit storm.

That's what I like about this part of the forums, it's calmer and more serious. I apologize for fucking with that.

I'm pretty sure that's a moth, not a butterfly.

I'm pretty sure the main difference between a butterfly and a moth is butterflies come out during the day while the moth freaks come out at night. daytime shot = butterfly.

And you can count the hairs on the wings, so at the very minimum that has to be considered acceptably sharp.

Lol it was half a joke because it's a nifty fifty but if you really don't think that's sharp AT ALL, then how can you think any of YOUR images are? Thats a 100% uncropped full size hosted image. Make sure your browser zooms in and you can count hairs and pollen on the insects body.

As Scott said, it's acceptably sharp... Nothing I would ever brag about though.
