    Agreed.  And most adults have already achieved their potential which, as a general rule, is nothing great.   :-D
  • ...the sheep should still be worried?  :-D
  • I'm hoping that by the next round, Canon has either got new sensor tech in the works (more specifically, better supporting hardware for the sensor -- an improved ADC setup) or they will buy from...
  • Replied in Not really.
    By the time the 6D2 / 5D3n comes out, the D800/D600 sensor will not be new, and the AF in the 5D4 will hopefully be improved over the AF of the 5D3.   Sure.  Like any of this matters, anyway.  ;-)
  • Replied in Indeed.
    Think Pentax K5 and Canon 100D. No replacements, but the 16-85 / 3.5-5.6 and 70-300 / 4-5.6 are close, but effectively 1 1/3 stops "slower" at the long end. So you'd be good with an mFT body that...
  • There's a surprise.
  • ...then if I had to choose between picking up a penny and saving your life, I'd pick up the penny.

    Well, you're wrong again.  Not that they won't have the same perspective, but that they'll "have the same perspective because all with have the same field of view." Perspective and field of view...
  • Replied in Start here...
    ...with my post above, where it's all spelled out: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51528951 The DOF thing is puzzling, though.  The DOF doesn't look all that different (although the background...
  • I'm thinking the 5D4, as opposed to the 6D2 / 5D3n, would have a better build, a sensor with more pixels (e.g. 46 MP vs 24 MP), maybe a built-in ST-E3, and crop mode with a higher frame rate. That...
  • Replied in Ouch!
    Nicely caught!  :-D
  • Commented on Touching in the "wow" challenge

    Weird he can balance like that, isn't it? : )

  • Aren't all those words synonyms? If it's good enough for some priests, it's good enough for me. :-D
  • That's a good way to put it, presuming, of course, that the more shallow DOF this necessarily entails does not adversely affect the photo.
  • Replied in Weird...
    What I'm saying, Peter, is that we don't compare 1 pixel on a 5D3 to 1 pixel on a D800, but rather 22 pixels on a 5D3 to 36 pixels on a D800, if we want to compare in a photographically meaningful...
  • I'm thinking $2499 would be rather reasonable, but as that represents a price increase over the 6D intro price, maybe it should be sold as a 5D3n when the 5D4 comes out.
  • Replied in Not really.
    So you're saying that the AF, EC adjustment in M mode with Auto ISO, and one button set WB is what sets the 6D and 5D3 apart?  I mean, I know the AF thing is a biggie, but the other two asks could...
  • Replied in Weird...
    ...that someone would be concerned with the appearance of the photo, not the appearance of individual pixels from photos captured on sensors with different pixel counts. What was he thinking?
  • Replied in Well...
    ...whether or not you find it "unbelievable" or not, it's a fact.  You have a camera, right?  OK, take a pic of a scene at a particular focal length with the focal point at least 10x further away...
  • Replied in Not really.
    Since we're talking 3+ years down the road, and the 6D costs less than the 5D did, I see no reason for this camera to cost any more than the current 6D, except if Canon feels they can charge an...
