    So that's it for this year??

    If it helps, I'm just a hobbyist who realized a year ago that I had way too much money invested in lenses and decided to sell them. I sold my 35L, 50L, 85L, 100L, 135L on ebay, got all of my cash & lost less than 10% of my cost. Part of the savings is the fact that I bought well, when Canon had...

    Travel location question - Italy

    The tower is all there is worth looking at in Pisa. It's a port city, not a great city for tourists. You have to leave to find nice beaches. So by all means head to Pisa, take your shots of the tower & then leave.

    Travel location question - Italy

    Just got back a couple of weeks ago. Landed in Rome.. Drove from Rome through Tuscany... And came home from Venice... All were wonderful but Tuscany was the family favorite. Venice is like another world, Rome was crowded but lots to see & in the time you have that might be the...

    Clearing up the 24 fps issue for those that don't understand why it is needed.

    Good point. I'll give you that.

    Clearing up the 24 fps issue for those that don't understand why it is needed.

    Of course it's not a bad idea. But I'm a hobbyist & I speak from the pov of a hobbyist. So while it may open up new markets for pros, that won't affect me nor will it affect my appreciation of this gear. So my point is that the changes to the firmware that were made will have a much greater...

    Clearing up the 24 fps issue for those that don't understand why it is needed.

    Good explanation. Doesn't explain why a hobbyist that will make movies for him/herself should care. I can understand why you might care, or someone else who plans to sell their movies or hope to get them played somewhere might care, but for the vast majority of 5D2 owners this won't ever matter...

    B&H Selling USed Equipment as NEW!!!

    That's true. You were the only unprofessional person in the transaction. Next time contact them by email & resolve it properly.

    5DII Video - no exposure lock (yet)

    You should thank Canon. Without the 5DII you'd have nothing to do here. Your membership began with the intro of the 5DII and seems to be solely based on bashing this camera. Canon has given you a reason to troll... that's gotta be worth something.

    Viewing 5Dii movie files on your home cinema equipment

    I had this system in place before I got the 5DII... http://sagetv.com/ You just need one computer as a file/media server & ethernet connections to the other TVs in your house. It allows you to watch your 5DII movies but much more.

    How much you'd pay for a CANON D700?

    Yes, you can sell your lenses & get back much of the money. But not quickly. Try ebay & you'll quickly see that Paypal will hold your money for up to 3 weeks while waiting for positive feedback. That's after the auction closes & that's typically a week. Then you have to run the risk that the...

    How much you'd pay for a CANON D700?

    Just guessing, but probably because Canon lenses won't operate on a Nikon.

    Microadjust frustration on 5D2

    Is this a zoom lens?

    For those that asked me about D3

    The photos look great. I figured you'd be happy with the switch. Only you can decide if it was worth it or not. I figure if you're a good photographer you should be able to produce great pics with either brand. Enjoy your new camera!
