10D Focus problem!!!!! I have it!!!!!!

[Nugi]

Would you believe it?? I think I have the same focus problem that
DavidP is barking about!!

Take a good look at this picture!! This proves it!!!!!!

http://www.pbase.com/image/20171804

Notice how the main subject is sharp but the background is
like....totally out of focus?!

I don't understand.....it must be the cråppy 300mm f2.8 L lens I
was using or something.....or the louzy 100iso setting.... I hate
what I see here.........aren't all pictures taken with the 10D
supose to be razor sharp from the subject to infinity no matter
what the setting is?! Isn't that what makes a good photo?? It is
an "Auto Focus" camera after all right??? Shouldn't it
automatically focus on everything???? I don't understand why Canon
made the Manual focus an option in the lenses for their auto focus
cameras......because if it says it is an auto focus camera, then it
should be able to focus on everything I look at through the camera
all at the same time....right??!!

Perhaps I should start taking pictures of rulers....or better
yet......I should take some action shots the dog sleeping in the
middle of the living room to learn how to take real professional
shots....with the camera set to P mode!!! like my buddy David P can
do!!!

.....and while you're at it....take a look at the pictures with the
same focus problem on the site link below!!

Why such a personal attack? You really had nothing better to do for the time it took to type that post?

This topic generates far more heat than light.

I can't stand people who innapropriately name their thread titles.
Its such a waste of time and isn't funny in the least bit. Maybe
that works for a small little group, but people keep forgetting
that this is one big group and not a happy extended family.

It would't be funny to yell fire in a busy restaurant cause you're
talking about the candle burning on the table, would it? In fact,
I'm sure there are laws against that very same thing.

Come on people, put some thought into your thread titles. Heck...
even just say 'joke' at the end to let everyone know. This applies
for all the threads that also just say 'help' or something like
that. Doesn't everyone think that they will get more info to their
problem if they just name the thread accordingly. I guess this
only doesn't work if everyone is childish and goes purely after the
shock factor.

Give me a break! So, fun is now BANNED!!! Those who are havinbg
fun are going to be arrested by the forum police such as the troll
hunting Kiran P. (The "P" stands for Police)

You know what.....perhaps some of these stories that some dip stick
made up to make Canon look bad are just a bunch of bunk,......
Have you ever read the flamming posts on
http://www.camerareview.com.....or http://www.photographyreview.com........where
some people will rate a camera they LOVE with a 10......and a
cometitor's model with a 1 ??

I suspect that some of these posts of "problems" are nothing but a
bunch of BULL from people like that!

Who was it....that I drew attention to who "heard"..their "Canon
Rep"....say that 20% of the 10D bodies were defective???

I asked who this "Rep" was.....and to this day, I have been
ignored. so that would 1 out of 5 cameras work worth
poop........however, all the people I have talked to who own
one.....who also shoot professionally.....many of them own the 1D
as well....all say they love it....like I do.

So, who is the real troll??

It would't be funny to yell fire in a busy restaurant cause you're
talking about the candle burning on the table, would it? In fact,
I'm sure there are laws against that very same thing.

You are kidding right??

Yes there are laws about that.......which prohibit certain speach
in the USA,,.......who knows.....perhaps where you are from,
laughing is prohibited as well.

Couldn't quite get beyond all your manic "......."s (maybe some
ritalin is in order?) but:

So.... call me what you will.......at least I don't have to live with your last name! ROFLMAO!!!!!

Well, I guess with comments like that, you've saved me the bother
of trying to argue that you're a waste of space. Come back and see
us again when you have something original and/or worthwhile to say,
won't you?

Cheers,
Pete

........................A full day of shooting on the beach with a
beautiful model.........spending hours in front of the computer
editing through the pictures..............uploading them onto my
website................and getting under the skin of Pete
Cockerell............ = Priceless!!!!

And worth every second of my time!! ;-)

I should do this more often!!!

JP

Your effort does not necessary qualify you to abuse the forum! Your reference to David in the heading and your attempt to negate the focus problem of 10D is totally absurb. Pete's remarks are valid on every word.

p.s. Your work are really amateur level. Your model too!

 

[eshropshire]

John_Paul has not talked about people with legitimate problems. His post is clearly aimed at those on the forum who are waging a battle saying that all 10Ds have a design flaw in the AF. These people have confused the subject so bad that some people actually believe the problem is wide spread.

Truth be told I have yet to see a Canon digital camera released where people on this forum were not griping about its AF. I remember many people saying the G1 AF did not work, but if you set it to single shot mode the AF worked.

I have no doubt that some cameras have problems, but Canon has not given anyone grief about fixing them. But I also see a lot of pictures that people say are out of focus that are really camera shake.

Keep up the good work John_Paul we need more voices of reason on this forum.

With Canon's announcement about their battle against counterfeiting, we can infer that anyone with focusing problems in fact does not have a 10D but some cheap knockoff. Sorry folks, you should have checked for the hologram.

If they could make a fake 10D, then they can make a fake hologram label also.

I think those fake 10D are produced by another brand camera company. LOL

F-stops??...... I'm not sure what F-stops are...... I'm an equipment buying yuppy junkie like many of the people having problems with the AF who contribute to this forum..... I set the camera in P mode and click click click.........

NOT.... This is a joke.....

I know this image was nice to begin with.....and the hit count went up from 32 to well over 2000 in the first 24 hours of this post... ;-)

I shoot for a living and I can't believe my eyes when I see people who step up from card borad throw away cameras......or point and shoot digital cameras.....who buy this wonderful tool only to make outlandish statements regarding how it "doesn't work" for them the way they would like it to........ statements which can easily be explained but then again, you have some engineer dipstick on their side who is like addicted to this forum......who IMO is just a yuppy with an axe to grind.....perhaps because after he has unloaded tens of thousands of dollars on his awesome tools, he still uses them like a point and shoot photographer does and gripes about the results all the time no matter which camera or lens he has. ....But that is just between you and me......so don't tell any one..........our little secret... ok?........

That's all.... enjoy the photos....and have fun every now and then! ;-)

The fact is every second post DOES NOT have a title that is deceiving! Chill out and try laughing at JP's post...like I did. As for chaos, we already have it when every other thread somehow becomes an AF issue!!

Jack

The point is that if every second post had a thread title that was
either the complete opposite of what the poster was trying to say
or that had nothing to do about what the thread ended up being
about, then this entire forum would be utter chaos.

Think about it, nothing would make any sense at all and that would
frustrare everyone to the point of leaving. I think it just makes
good sense to try and pick an appropriate title for a new thread to
make everyone's browsing that much more enjoyable.

you have some great shots.....why not just be proud of that, and
share it with us

Why thank you Randy...

no need to clutter the forum even more with your moronic attempt at
attcking others.......

....You know.....sometimes, I feel a need to do just that! ;-)

you even had to stoop som low as to attack someone for their last
name?

..........Oh you must mean COCKerell..........Yep! Sure did...

how old are you?

..............32

phil should ban you just for the $hit you spew in this thread
alone......

............Gosh then that would make this place as dull as some of the other sites that I won't mention by name.....Phil is doing a good job

as another poster said, at least when I see your name, I can ignore
any threads by you.......later, sleez

........Hmm you sure do a lot of name calling...with this one ant the other post .......should you be banned also??

photography is my obsession.....

..............I disagree.........if you were so obsessed by photography you would be much further along than the rest of the gang..........I recall going to the zoo......and the farmer's market to do "photo shoots"......when I was about ....less than a year into photography....

Go out and shoot more......a lot more!

Talk about lamebrain responses...this one takes to cake.

The ironic thing is, I nearly wrote in my original reply something
along the lines of "Everyone knows the 10D can produce perfectly
fine photos, there are thousands of examples of them out there."
but I rejected that as being too obvious for words. Alas, once
again I woefully overestimated your ability to apply rational
thought to anything pertaining to the 10D. Still, keep trying, I'm
sure your synapses will start firing eventually if you try really
hard.

Cheers,
Pete

"The whole premise that you can negate all of the problems reported
by the owners of some 10Ds by posting one in-focus photo."
And then he answers his OWN question. ;-)
Pete, there have been MANY well focused shots from the 10D shared
in this forum. It's just that you choose to ignore those and
concentrate on showcasing the BAD ones instead. And you expect
EVERY shot to come out of a camera in perfect focus, you're in for
a LONG wait for THAT camera, bud.

You clearly have good technique and style. And perhaps you've

who may have legitimate problems?

Strange. I hope nothing fails on you.
