No, I just like all the attention I get because of all the white space...

Hate when the comments run together...think of my posts as a breath of fresh air...or something

lol.

If you don't need video, I'd say go for the Sony a850. (And this is coming from a 5D user)

The 5D classic is another fullframe option, and it goes for quite cheap used (check ebay!)]]>May 13th 2010 6:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/Which is why I shoot me some Nikon.]]>May 13th 2010 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 1:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 1:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/

Yep, the EF 50 F1.8 II is cracking. I paid £70 for mine online. Bargain.

Speaking of 50mm primes, I got a 3rd party 50mm f1.9 lens for a grand total of $27.85. The lens is so sharp I can get moire patterns because the lens can produce details are so fine that my sensor can't resolve it.

Perhaps not so proud...

If only it wasn't for the very expensive collection of lenses my father and I have aquired over the years for Canon, I would switch over ...

I mean, after ALL THESE YEARS, still no in-body image stabilization? No articulating screen...no attention to user/fan base?

Still, Canon makes quality cameras...so does Nikon and definitely Sony...]]>May 13th 2010 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/Well... why do you need in body stabilization when you can get it on the lenses?
On that note - the one on lenses might actually be easier to build - also, if the IS on the lens breaks you send off the lens and can still use your camera - having IS in the body would mean you need to send that off - so outsourcing components is a good idea.

Articulating screens - again, something else to break.

If you go by the people's wishes you'd have a 10$ pro SLR which just along the line makes coffee for you when you are outside...
The design Canon uses is robust and proven - so they keep it.]]>May 13th 2010 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/
But it goes against all logic to have the IS in the lens and not in the camera body, when one uses many lenses and one camera. First and foremost: It's cheaper, both for the consumer and the manufacturer.]]>May 13th 2010 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/
Incorrect, it doesn't really go against all logic

Rather than have one IS (in the body) fit all lenses, Canon produce the IS around each specific lens. Sony IS reminds me of "Jack of all trades, master of none"

Having the IS purpose built ensures better stabilisation. In fact, considering Canon pioneered optical image stabilisation, I'm sure they know what's best.

Finally, if i'm paying hundreds/thousands of £/$s, i would not want to compromise on quality. ]]>May 13th 2010 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/

Just visit Fake Chuck Westfall http://fakechuckwestfall.wordpress.com/
Canon is just lazy to innovation, ignoring the wishes of its user base. No wounder, the mark share slumped in the last year.
Most other camera manufacturer do a better job, than Canon.

I will move on. Years after waiting on a EOS 3D or a not overpriced EOS 1Ds, I bye the new Pentax 645D, when it will available this Fall in Europe. IQ is all that matters to me.

The 5D (original and MkII) has always been a phenomenal sensor wrapped in a chintzy body and primitive AF. At $1000 less, the 7D has a clearly superior build, handling, video and AF. The IQ is very close to at least ISO 800 (arguably up to ISO 1600).

I've always preferred Canon colors to Nikon and have preferred their bodies because of this. I think Canon is learning from it's mistakes and finally recognizing the need to build solid feeling cameras. This is the first non 1D body I've used that has build/handling that is on par with Nikon.]]>May 13th 2010 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/I own both.

Though this statement is true, it's a little random or perhaps misleading to mention this one in relation to their history. The EOS 650 was the first EOS camera, the EOS 1 came out a couple years later.]]>May 13th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/
We've both got smaller Canons, too. I have a G10, which is pretty decent in full manual and on large JPEG. RAW not-so-good. He has an SX200 IS.

We both have bridge Lumix and I have other film cameras, but Canon is my favourite. I'm pretty brand loyal to stuff that has given me no issues and none of my Canons have let me down.]]>May 13th 2010 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/canon-produces-40-millionth-eos-series-slr-half-of-em-digital/May 13th 2010 4:11PM
