after using the 300d what do you miss the most?

Go to last post
sorry, can't bring that back :-/

not to mention nearly half of our life wasted in sleep. I wish God has a firware update so we'll need no more sleep :)

Is it technically possible? Isn't it the sensor that restricts
live preview due to it not having the ability to shift out the data
while beiing exposed. My understaning is this limitation allows
for bigger photosites and therefore higher ISO.

But if it could you could plug a portable 4" LCD screen into the video
out and have the camera and viewfinder separate for total flexibility -
dream on.

If you had an EVF, you wouldn't need a mirror to reflect the light
up to the view finder. The sesnor would just sit there and the
image would be displayed on the EVF and/or the LCD just like
non-SLR cameras. If you engineered it just right you could actually
have EVF and optical be selectable. A lot of things are possible if
people put their minds to it.

It looks like you have done well with the new cam with the test shots I saw you added to your site.

Always loved your landscapes with the D7. I am glad you took the dslr plunge with the 300d. Are you going to start using that as your primary now or are you still in adjustment mode?

I ended up switching to the 10d just a month ago and just put my 7hi up on ebay mere seconds ago. It was a good camera. The dslr cameras are so much more, though.

BTW, anyone who hasn't looked at Daniella's pics, take a look at her profile and click the link. Amazing shots. Daniella is truly an amazing landscape photographer.

The trade-off is the light lost due to the beam splitter / prism.

You guys don't understand, as long as you have SLR, you will never
have EVF or live preview. The reflex mirror in the down position
blocks the lights going into the sensor, and that's why you have
the optical viewfinder instead.

hi Mike,

thanks for the comments :) but I still have so much to learn..I feel I know nothing.

I am still in the transition but the move is made as far as the camera switch is ...I used my Dimage 7 this weekend at San Francisco Blue Angels show and guess how many shots I managed to get in focus? make that 0. whereas the 300d had no problem focusing even when they were coming real fast at us. We did not get any good photos with either cameras because even my 200mm was not enough reach and we only had the kit lens on the 300D. but the Dimage 7 will be going either on ebay or to Adorama.com

I knwo it will take some time but so far I am happy with the DSLR move. I will receive my new Sigma 70-300 APO thursday and will go try it then.

Since we are discussing this I decided to try and take a close look at my S50 to see if I could figure out what was happening. It looks to me like the "shutter" is always open while the camera is just sitting idle, and it's using the sensor to display the image on the LCD screen, which obviously makes sense. Then when you push the shutter down half way, and the camera selects the F-stop, you can see it fan out a little thing in the lens to restrict the light to the correct amount. This also makes sense. Then when I push the button to take the picture, the shutter seems to close, suggesting that it's preventing light from hitting the CCD while the camera is reading the data off. So it seems that since an EVF is just another LCD screen, and since the camera is already displaying the view finder image on the big LCD screen, that there is no reason why it couldn't display it on the small LCD screen as well. It seems like this would be pretty simple.

Don't know how the 70-300 will be for you, I found the Canon 75-300 IS quite blurry at 300. I picked up the sigma 70-200/2.8 EX and it is spectacular. I have the Canon 70-200 IS on the way from dell hopefully and I'll sell my sigma on ebay.

Quick note though, if you don't mind a grey market lens (Canon doesn't care, but I don't know about sigma), take a look at deltainternational.com

I tried the lesser Sigma 70-300 no APO and was impressed..sharp and contrasty, even at 300mm:

http://www.pbase.com/image/22300751

you can actualy read the text on the glass. with the stongs highlights on the rear and the door handle not really showing much blooming or CA.

I tried the 75-300 IS USM and did not like it...It seem that you have lucky and get a good one. My guess is that what's left at local stores are bad stock that they did not manage to sell.

they did not had the new APO and the one that I tried did not work. It would focus ok but then freeze the camera with ERR. they only had the old version wish does not work. So I ordered the lens from camerafocus.

If I got this result with the cheaper non APO, I am expecting better results with the APO version.

When I bought the camera I knew that it did not have FEC and consequently I don't miss anything.

What is it that the camera could do but does not and that you misss
the most?

In my case it si the ability to take more photos in burst mode at
lower res..for exemple, take 30 shots in row at lower res instead
of 4 at full res.

I wonder why the 300D does not have this silly little option.

If you need this buy a 10D. It's as simple as that!

It is so funny: the camera specs are known and then some kids are complaining, what they are missing. If you're in Rome are you missing the Eiffel Tower?

It's all here on this site, Phil has already written an article on this topic already.

http://www.dpreview.com/learn/key=sensor

The article describe the difference between "Interline Transfer sensor" (ones with electronic shutters) and "Full Frame sensor" (ones absolutely require mechanical shutters). Althought the article is talking about CCD sensors, but I believe the CMOS sensor on all digital EOS cameras are full frame.

Phil's conclusion is for the full frame sensor is:

The disadvantage is that you can't get a video feed out of them which is the main reason we don't see more manufacturers using Full Frame CCD's (we're all too used to our LCD preview).

Sorry folks, no EVF for any digital EOS cameras, and the reason is probably not related to throughput of the readout registers either.

QED !

Hi Daniella!

Memory is hardware - not firmware! Did you know that? And you need this memory for every picture you take. It is written into the internal memory, then processed (if not RAW) and THEN written to your CF. So more than 4 pix at one go need more memory. And you get it from Canon in a 10D or 1D.

well of course I did. I was not taking about the buffer size but the ability to capture more in smaller size than full size. I thought that if you capture smaller images, you can capture more of them...as some cameras do.

With RAW you gain the freedom to decide WB, sharpening, contrast, saturation AFTER having taken the picture. A RAW file offers much more possibilities to enhance a picture. With JPEG it is impossible. You can't get new details from an over- or underexposed image. With RAW you can!

you cannot get detail from an overexposed image even in Raw if the highlights have been blown out..nothing compensate for a good exposure. did you know that?

P.S. Sorry for my "harsh" words it my former replies, but I'm a little fed up with all the people buying entry models and then requesting the features from midrange or top D-SLRs. Sorry agein ;-)
