Eh, the camera is fantastic by the way. Be prepared for a slew of ameteurs ready to complain, since this one of course doesn't AF on your dog in the bathroom with the lights off, nor does it provide the clean iso 250,000 in order to pull it off...]]>Mar 26th 2010 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/

It's not because people can't afford it, it's because many people don't know how to properly use it. I don't have enough $ to buy a high end DSLR, but at least I pretty much know how to use one.

You don't know how many people I see walking around with DSLRs that don't even know what aperture or shutter speed are... They don't even hold the camera correctly, nor do they configure it properly, so they still end up get blurry photos in broad daylight! ]]>Mar 27th 2010 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/Mar 27th 2010 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/no, the idea is that if you're actually holding a 'gifted talent', you'd make enough money with that talent to pay for it.

Now I understand what you are saying. Basically: If you have a "thing" fo photography, you should work hard enough at it, and you should be able to buy a better camera.

If you aren't into photography enough that you don't care to work for the camera, you probably don't deserve it.

If you are just plain terrible at taking photos, a better camera generally wouldn't really help, so you also don't deserve it.]]>Mar 27th 2010 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/I'm neither.

The 5DMk2 vs. the D700 for high-ISO performance is night and day, and the only reason this is the case is because Canon insisted on a whole lot more megapixels that nobody will use.

Its battery is huge and lasts forever (you can remove it while the camera is still mounted on a tripod) and it's made out of tank armor.
It can be used to smash other cameras on the market into pieces, successfully.

Fine, make the battery half the size, than it will last half of forever and be a lighter and easier to carry around. ]]>Mar 26th 2010 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/
This workhorse of a camera is designed to last forever. It needs lots of power to push the shutter at high speeds, the on-board processor, and optics. It's body is machined out of one block of metal. The battery lasts for half the day of constant shooting. I use this camera in -40 degrees celcius on occasion. I cannot imagine using anything smaller.

People that complain about its size, are missing the point of what this thing is; a totally reliable, top quality photography machine. You want something more portable for carrying around get a Powershot.

There are a lot of professional fashion and product photographers who'd rather depend on the fast efficiency of 35mm equiv slr. My point is, your line of work isn't restricted by the type of camera you use, especially in this day and age.]]>Mar 26th 2010 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/
Ah, first off, the 1D MkIV was designed to be primarily used by photojournalist and sports photographers.

Second, I've been in photo retail for over 25 years, as well as a respected professional photographer for over 10 years, and a tech journalist for the past 3 years - IMIO there are quite a few current DSLR's that are more than capable of producing the quality of images needed for even the most demanding product photography. Many accept T&S lenses, as well as SOTA optics capable of outstanding resolution. In fact up until last year I was producing great product shots with my old Nikon D100 (6MP) and a MF T&S lens.

I don't know what your photographer friend's final output was, I'm sure there were times it required using a MF camera, but most pros I know do the vast majority of their shooting with Canons and Nikons saving the MF work for when its requested by the client. (And I used to just go rent one when I needed a MF.)]]>Mar 26th 2010 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/Mar 27th 2010 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/how-would-you-change-canons-eos-1d-mark-iv-dslr/Mar 26th 2010 11:00PM
