I see in his conclusion he writes: "With autofocus you can trust".

I have no comment beyond that. I don't agree or disagree. All
I am saying is that's what he says.

I've always wondered about this... shouldn't the crop factor be 1.54x for the D60/10D (35mm film width/22.7mm 10D sensor width; 23.33mm film height/15.1mm 10D sensor height)?

Interesting review too!

So, if you have no view on that issue, why post?

Personally, I think that I've just realised how much the D30 Autofocus sucks, having got my 10D yesterday

your photos suck.

I remember watching a number of times the program about Andy Rouse on the Animal Channel. I don't find his photography very good.

People like Frans Lanting are far more talented.

As a result, I don't find his review to be all that useful, seeing as he might be a pro - but not a very talented oine.

Greatly enjoyed your review - thanks.

I particularly like that you related the camera really well to taking action shots with it, and real-life situations.

The ability of the camera to focus on moving objects looks far better than I had ever dared hope. I was resigned to needing (and not having!) a 1D or 1Ds to be able to get this type of shot.

Can't wait to try it out with my Sigma 15-30, unfortunately I am still awaiting my Canon 28-70 2.8
Thanks again,

Do yourself a favour and get his new book. It is some of the best photographs I have seen.

I have been selected to go shoot with Andy for a day. It will probably happen sometime the next few months, I'll be sure to pass on your compliments.
Let's see some of your photographs oh talented one.

Don't you feel your comment to be fairly nasty and unneccessary?

I haven't seen many of Andy's pictures, and so I can't comment regarding their merit, but even supposing what you say to be true, what possible good can come of posting deliberately hurtful comments like this?

Perhaps you should wonder why you are so full of hate and spite that you feel the need to make that sort of comment.

So, if you have no view on that issue, why post?

Because Andy Rouse is this highly respected photographer,
and he does have an opinion ?

 

[Nicholas J]

I believe it's called " jealousy makes you nasty"

I would like Mimesis to explain to me how Andy got to be one of the worlds best and most well known wildlife photographers if he's got no talent.

Huh ??

I could be wrong, but I always thought 35mm was actually 24mm by 36mm. Resulting in 1.586 width factor and 1.589 height factor.

I've always wondered about this... shouldn't the crop factor be
1.54x for the D60/10D (35mm film width/22.7mm 10D sensor width;
23.33mm film height/15.1mm 10D sensor height)?

Interesting review too!

Hi Andy,

Had not visited your site before, but found your review to be quite worthwhile. I like the fact that you are not trying to WOW us with carefully tweaked and processed pics, but rather showing us some real world tests. Canon does say that the factor is 1.6, but who knows, no big deal. I was particularly interested in your comments about the speed of shooting and the AF system. I'm a working photographer (mostly events and assignments) and found my D30 and later D60's woefully inadequate for much of the low light spontaneous shooting I was attempting to do with them. I bought two 10D's and also have noticed a major improvement. I take it you've not experienced any significant front focus/back focus issues with your sample(s). I had one of my bodies front focus right out of the box, but I was one of the lucky ones that seemed to have cured it just by clearing the settings and starting again. I just finished a shoot last week where I deliberately used that body for most of the work as a "test" to see if the AF continued to work properly. IT did. So, as of this moment, I'm very pleased with both 10D's.

Anyway, good and interesting review. One question.. how do you think the 10D's image quality stacks up against the Fuji S2 Pro ????

The review was OK, but...

When I checked the spelling the result was surprising.

Half of the "mistakes" were a simple British-American differences. Other half were an ordinary spelling mistakes. That looks pretty sad - a 'reputable' photographer publishes a review on the net and it just flashes with red underlines.

In comparison, I haven't noticed a spelling mistake in Phil's review yet.

Because he portrays himself in this way. Many fashion photographers often get called "the best" and "most well known" when their work is hardly known. It's all a question of public relations and self-agrandisement.

You cannot compare this guy to Frans Lanting, David Doubilet, or Joel Sartore. They're not in the same league.

Just look at Frans Lanting's composition and ability to capture light. Rouse doesn't get close.

Maybe you'll understand what I mean.

Ok, so are you making your comments based on 4 photo's on Andy's website. I can tell you that those aren't anywhere near some of his best work. Beleive me get his new book and you'll change your mind. I have the book and I find the photo's slightly better than the ones on Frans' website - but that does not mean that I believe Andy is a better photographer. I have never heard of Frans Lanting so I cannot realy comment after seeing a few pics on his website.

Well, maybe my comments on Andy Rouse are unfair as I have never sought out his work. However, from the little I have seen (on the web, in print, and on TV...) I don't feel he is as good as Frans Lanting, for example.

Also, the documentaries about him on the Animal channel are quite poor in quality. Bad exposure, shaky camera, poor composition, etc. which doesn't help in portraying a good image.

Lanting is a regular contributor to the National Geographic - a sure sign of his immense talent.

In the end photography is very personal, and what some might see as the greatest photographer can be percieved as quite the opposite by others.
