What I want to see in the Canon 5D Mark3




All these rumors are next to useless.  I'm jaded now from the Canonrumors website.

I have a 5D Mark 2, and I would like to see the following fixed:

1)  Better focusing
2)  Better noise mgmt at high iso
3)  True autofocus for video.
4)  All around weather sealing
5)  Little bump up in frames per second.
6)  Don't split the lines between a full frame leading camera and leader in video.
7)  USB 3 or thunderbolt


Don't care to much about overly fancy screens.  I just want the image quality to be awesome.

Nice to haves:
a)  backup slot for an SD card in addition to CF.
b)  Lower price than before.
c)  Compatibility with all my old attachments/accessories.



Pricing for the Mark 2

My Favorite Audience Questions



Question #1  Which lens..
bigdogmn73 writes:    I've got a Canon 50d and I'm most likely going to get either a 7d or wait for the Mark II replacement. If I stick with the 7D and I'm looking for a good portrait lens would you go 50mm 1.2, 85mm 1.2 or 35mm 1.4? I have the 50mm 1.8, but based on your comments I almost think the 85 is the way to go, but I'm thinking it's way too long on a crap sensor camera. So would you go 50mm 1.2 or 35mm 1.4? Or would you go 24-70 2.8? Also are you going to do a video on the compare of the 50 vs the 85?


Creative Outlet Images Response:   Good question, one of the better ones lately. The crop factor on all your cameras that you are looking at except the 5d replacement have a 1.6 crop factor. I think the 85 is going to be way to long, but if you shot outdoors mainly or have a long inside space to use it might work out. I really like my 50mm but it can be tricky to use with moving subjects. I think I would recommend looking at the 24-70mm in your case. If you plan to do a lot of night shoots then consider the 50.

Hungarian Chicken

This looks kind of gross to me, but it was so good. I travelled for several hours from Arhus, Denmark to Budapest. I arrived later in the evening and walked around forever trying to find a place to eat by myself. All I could sell myself on trying was a this empty, old restaurant, in which the menu looked okay from outside. It was this big hall with tall wooden booths and it was ultra dark. This was the best dish though! Spicy with paprika and amazing chicken.

Canon 85MM f1 2l II - Review




Canon 85MM f1 2l II
An absolutely amazing lens.

Advantage:
- Picture quality is top notch
-Sharpness amazing
-Colors are amazing
-Focus speed and accuracy not bad but not the fastest.


Disadvantage:

-Guess.. Expensive
-Little bit heavy
-Slow to manually focus due to the computer controlling focus, even in manual.
-You have to extra careful with the exposed glass on the back.
-You have to relatively far away to focus on something.  Its more than arm length.  This was a surprise.
