laxx Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm thinking about getting one and giving my S90 to my family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I wish I could convince my wife she needs one, since I really don't. Then there's also the (probably) upcoming G12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebby Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Not quite the same, but I picked up the SD4000 for my sister for her graduation. I liked it quite a bit for the short while I had to play with it; it's specs look similar to the S95 so I think they're probably comparable.

MoonShine Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Snapped this while out for a walk about 2 hours ago with my 3G iPhone. Had Anathema playing on my Zune w/ my Atrios. Demon Dragon flying south. Better duck and cover California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Just got back from the Canon workshop at Acadia National Park. I had a good time and spent the whole workshop using 10-22. Time permitting, I may go back to later session today or the morning session tomorrow so I can borrow 5DII with an L lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Dragon flying south. Better duck and cover California. I like that. It just needs to be cropped and de-noised. It's pretty nice what phones can do these days. Who needs a P&S anymore?

jinp6301 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 has anyone tried those adapters that let you use nikon lenses on a canon eos body? I do have a few nikon lenses that I wouldn't mind using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) I've a $20 Nikon F to Canon EF adaptor I bought on eBay (Fotodiox) that I use on Nikon Series E 75-150mm f/3.5. It works well enough for my use, though there is a small amount of play between the lens and the mount adaptor. It's bit of a pain to remove the adaptor from the lens, so if I had multiple Nikon lenses, I'd get an adaptor for each lens and leave it on. This, of course, would make it unusable with a Nkon body. BTW, what Canon body did you get? EDIT - Here's a post by Knuckledragger on the subject. http://www.head-case.org/forums/miscellaneous/4047-official-head-case-photography-thread-19.html#post342430 Edited August 23, 2010 by Salt Peanuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 thanks salty! I havent gotten a canon (yet) but I've settled on the t2i for the most part. I think I'll get a cheap adapter and actually see how much I actually use those lenses also found http://photonotes.org/articles/eos-manual-lenses/ which was pretty useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 ^ Methinks you should get the upcoming 60D, mostly since I'd be curious for a firsthand experience/account. In either case, I'd wait for the Canon Expo in NY next week before making purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkon Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 If you're considering the T2i, seriously look at the D3100. The new high ISO shots look great. So does the 55-300mm DX lens. It seems that the D3100 will do ISO 3200 with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yea, I was saw the 3100. Kinda want the free printer that comes with the t2i and most of my friends have canon cameras so I could use their lenses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkon Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well, you have another choice now, as the 60D specs are official. 18 MP APS-C CMOS sensor Advanced creative features with Basic + Vari-angle 7.7cm (3.0”) 3:2 ratio LCD Full HD movies with manual control DIGIC 4 ISO 100-6400, H:12800 5.3fps shooting for up to 58 JPEGs 9-point cross type AF System iFCL metering with 63-zone Dual-layer Sensor Integrated Speedlite transmitter In-camera RAW processing It probably has faster and smarter AF than the T2i but only a marginal upgrade, all in all. It should also be able to do usable 3200 ISO easily and maybe even 6400. I'd rather have a 3.5" screen than a swivel. It's also all plastic. TBH, it's a little disappointing. It would be worth the upgrade if it was the same price or $100 more than the T2i but it'll probably be $1100, I'm guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 The retail for 60D will be $1099. Looking at the spec, it appears that 60D isn't really a successor to 50D, but more as something for those who wanted HD video but not T2i (and to compete with other company's video capable models). Then again, 7D probably was the real successor to 50D. I agree about the plastic body, but I think Canon's trying to position it as uber-Rebel more than traditional xxD model (it even uses SD instead of CF now).

falkon Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Except they price it like an xxD. This thing won't sell. When it does sell, it will be to people who were going to buy the T2i anyway. Way to screw up your product line, Canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 It probably will sell enough - it does look to have better ergonomics than the Rebel series, along with the 2nd wheel with simpler/dumbed-down controls. It's just not what current xxD owners were expecting/hoping. I think those with 40D/50D who were planning on upgrading before the announcement, will now probably go straight to 7D or 5DII.

laxx Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have a 40D. If I upgraded, damn straight I'm going 7D or higher. But realistically, S95 is what I want, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebby Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'm still using a 300D, if I were to upgrade I'd probably go for a 7D or a used 1D MkIII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Still sticking with the t2i after seeing the 60d and the 3100 Some shots from boston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkon Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Just awesome man. Especially that first one. What were the exposure conditions? It seems extremely low light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I was really hoping there would be updates to the big cameras as I have been contemplating replacing the 5D and 1Ds with some new toys. Not all that interested in the lens updates either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually dont remember that well It was in the New England Aquarium. It was pretty dark inside but not too dark since they had spotlights on the penguins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
