Probably my last uploads with my D5000, getting used to my 5D now YAY :)
 
Seriously, how original am I!?

Haha I know it's clichee, I just needed a new deviantID with the new camera/hair and I don't have a remote shutter to do anything serious regarding self-portraiture just yet. And hey, I spent the better part of a year saving up for that, I'm think I'm entitled to flaunt it a bit :D
 
Nice, nice!

How much did you splash btw? I'm due to buy the 8-16mm Sigma for my 40D and will go all out crazy with that lol so expect pics in the coming weeks :p

But for now...

I had two shoots in one day. She was 3 hours late, it was 7pm and i'd been shooting outdoors in the desert in 45c since 3am, with time for a change of clothes between locations. Hence the face.

DampCat. Looking miserable whatever the occasion.

£690 for the 5D (would have bought a cheaper one but needed one for a gig this coming week and couldn't wait much longer), £305 for the 50mm from calumet (would have bought second hand but I had a voucher burning a hole in my pocket and with how much use I'll get out of it, it was worth going new.
 
Cheers!

Ah that's excellent, is it the mkII? I'm going to be in the same boat next month and I am undecided on 60D/5D or 7D although the 7D is considerably more expensive it would be an investment although a use 5D would not get a frown although I'd miss the 7.8fps of my 40D!
 
Iv recently purchased my first dslr (Nikon D7000) and i must say im loving it. It has a v large amount of functions and buttons / adjustments i need to get used to and im waiting for my filter holder to arrive on a back order.

Iv put a few ok photos up on photo bucket in this gallery (password delta9)

The EOS 7D is powered by Dual Digic 4 processors and it shows. The camera's overall performance is nothing short of impressive, especially in this segment of the market. The two processors are pushing the huge 18 megapixel files through the imaging and processing pipeline in an extremely swift manner. Instead of asking if this camera is fast enough for you, you should probably be slightly concerned if you are fast enough for the 7D.

SOLD!

Yeah if you're looking at a 60D/7D, the 5D Mk2 is well out of the price window. I've got a mark I, mark IIs are still well over £1000 second hand.

It'll be a very different experience to a 7D - the 5D "classic" is sluggish by comparison in terms of AF (though otherwise operation is perfectly quick), and ISO only goes up to 1600 (though it's pretty impressively clean up to that).

If you shoot mostly stationary subjects in good light, or portraiture, go for the 5D, even the MkI; full frame can't be beat for that. If you want to be shooting sport, action or generally can't bear the thought of pretty sluggish focus, you'll want a 60D or 7D.

If you think you'll wind up in full frame when your budget allows e.g. a 5D MkII or MkIII, then you may as well go with a 5DMk1 now, so that you know how your lenses will all behave and that you won't be stuck with things that would be ideal on full frame but are too tight on a crop. 1.6x crop, remember, (as a rule of thumb), means 1.6x softer, remember.
 
I'd have to budget for new lenses if I got the 5D but the sale of the 40D + extras would account for that anyway. I'm leaning on the 7D really as I don't shoot a set style of imagery but everything so I need the fast AF, I need the fast buffer and I could do with the APS-C sensor to keep my current lenses :p

I guess 7D it is although the 60D is looking very good too.
 
Only got the camera a week or so ago, so nothing amazing! :-\

I may have lost all passion for taking photos over the last 2 months due to work and generally always having something more important to do in the evenings and weekends but looking at this thread always inspires me.

the 5d mk2 is purely for IQ on none moving images.

the 7d beats the 5d mk2 in every way besides IQ.

watch this:


i cant see any reason to buy the 5d mk2 other then IQ and it being FF. thats it.
