You are right Roy, but I do like a new camera, cant wait for the 8d to come out, what will it have on it, triple digi thingies 24 mil pix, fold out screen 30 focus points, very slow motion video, etc etc, :-O

But theres one thing you can say, I have never moaned about what a camera can supposedly do, I have asked the daft questions,

Roy stop looking back on all my posts to see if I have moaned :eek!:

 

[Tim Taylor]

LOL Terry.

Now get your 7D out, blow the dust off and take a picture of your new jag to show us. :-O

I have better things to do with my time than that, that's for sure. Been out this morning and took several hundred shots with my useless, out of date, noisy, crappy focussing dinosaur 40D - just think what i could have done with a 7D
In defence of the Camera it was taken with a 2x tc.

Nice one Roy its a Phalarope, never seen one.

All right then, already had them in my computer, well it is a Jaguar nearly wildlife,

:-O Well we all know it but we all want a new toy!

I know what you mean Marcus, I just worked out that since buying a 300D in March 2005 I have bought, used and then sold on 10 DSLRs! I am a sucker for a new toy and find them very hard to resist....

Very nice shot of the grey phal Roy, makes me wish I was out birding.

You going for a 7D too, Pete?

That's a fantastic shot Roy. I don't think you qualify for a new camera now that you've shown what great pics the 40D can take. o

Has anyone tried their 7d for bird video yet?
Im struggling to find any good examples or info on the net.

Found these links so far. Trying to find someone who has tried video with the 500mmf4.

Have you seen some of the stuff from Romy Ocon example HERE

I was reading an interesting article publish by Canon a couple of years ago but still relevant today about image sharpness and pixel size. It basically said that the more MP's a camera has (or to be more precise, the smaller the individual pixel size) then the softer the image will be out of the camera. They went on to say it was not a problem as jpegs could be fixed by tweaking the in-camera sharpness levels and RAW's by more sharpening on the computer. It also said that with increased MP's the shutter speed should be faster to compensate for the apparent softness. This leaves the old film camera rules about shutter speed equalling the focal length condemned to history as I see it.
I must admit I had never thought of this before.
BTW Canon did explain it it more technical terms but my interpretation is just an easy to read summary.

thanks. I had seen that one but couldnt find the link.
Good quality on the sigma lens there.

 

[hampers]

Roy, that's interesting, thanks. Should prompt some interesting debate, I guess. I've plunged and bought 1, just need the weather to get out with it.
