Bye by Canon...sick of dust.

Go to last post
that was a graduated ND from the center out to the edges to minimize the inherent vignetting of certain wides on film cameras. Forget which format or lens they were designed for, however.

Like others have said...ain't a new phenom...by far...probably even bugged Matthew Brady. (And he was mostly blind.)

Dust has always been a problem in photography.

Maybe those other cameras have the sensor shake, but that's another thing that could go wrong. I don't want my sensor shaking and getting misaligned.

The only two real options in serious digital photography in my opinion are Canon and Nikon. They are the only ones with versatile and complete lens systems (well, okay, Nikon needs to make some fast DX primes, but then...)

I seriously doubt Olympus will survive much longer and 4/3rds seems like a mistake to me.

Hello,

Finally after many years of using Canon cameras I'm going to sell
all my gear and change over to either Sony Alpha or Olympus 4/3..(
or maybe Panasonic)

I've had a D30, D60, 10D, 20D and now have a 5D, along the way I've
also had a 300D and 350D and i am SICK to the back teeth of sensor
dust especially so with the newer cameras, 350D, 20D and "extra"
expecially so with the 5D....Canon should market it as a
Hoo100ver...

Anyway has anybody any thoughts on which would be the better
changeover option, which manufacturers anti dust mechanism is
better and whos image stabilizaton is better???

The lenses i currently have are 100-400L, 17-40L, 100Macro and a
28-105 which is unusable due to vignetting on the 5D (why was this
not such a problem on the film bodies?)

I mainly shoot landscape and nature with some portraiture and macro
thrown in...

Any advice would be appreciated. Anyone else left the Canon stable?
Any technology on the horizon I should wait for?

Enjoy your new camera system...I'm sure you'll fine nothing wrong with them ever..

I'm sure you find that the image quality is superior too..

I'm sure you'll become a better photographer too..

Enjoy!

Then you might want to consider the 1D MKIIn or 1Ds, even the old 1D MKII are weather sealed, but regardless....if you change your lens outdoor then you should expect some dust gets in eventually, just get some sensor brush, charge it with can air, and lift off any dust from the sensor, stick with only L glass with weather sealing as well.

And dust isn't a problem in printing either?

Yes, but not your problem if you have a pro lab do the printing.

Earth, last time I looked. But I'm beginniing to wonder about this planet.

Back in the days I used to print B&W then it certainly
was. Pro labs spend a good deal of time and effort dealing with
marks and dust and you end up paying for this in cash rather than
your own time.

Have you ever been charged extra by a lab for printing from a dusty slide?

Scratches are worse of course. But how many of your slides and negatives are scratched?

OK, I remember now about labs putting scratches on slides they've gotten for printing.

Maybe you have a point there. But I was just comparing slides versus digital for landscapes taken by a photographer fed up with dust on his sensors.

Dust needn't be a worry if you don't scan your color slides.
Professional prints from color slides or negatives give the best
results. No need to scan the slides for printing purposes (unless
you need to transmit the photos electronically.)
Eliminating dust from scanned slides is not that troublesome.

Having had a 4/3rds camera I can only chuckle as you get rid of your 5D.

Have you ever wondered that a dust removal system is actually essential on such a tiny sensor? more out of necessity than due to their kindness and consideration for users.

Also Sony Alpha? gimme a break, both the Sony and Olympus are rubbish at high ISO.

Not much, a few of their own lenses which look a bit plasticy (not to mention fly by wire focussing which is awful). Sigma do a few for the system too.

Others are getting on board, but I didn't want to invest in a system that didn't suit me.
