Not really, especially if the old tech works. It would take me a fair bit of time digging on my hard drives to find a photo where the 6D misfocused using the center af point and it wasn't my fault.

According to the MTF graphs leaked by Nokishita the mkIII is the same as the mkII. The coating improvements don't interest me at all. This lens is perfect because there's nothing that's tempting me ...

That's great. I can keep using the mkII knowing that I won't be missing out anything, plus I get some retro-points for using old gear!

The price for the 2.8 III is really surprising for me. I was expecting it to be much higher, maybe it won't be a major remake/upgrade?

Thanks to everyone for the replies. That could be the explanation, yes. Optically I really don't notice any sensible difference from that lens between f2.8 and f3.2, at least not in "real photos" ...

I shoot indoor volleyball and ever since I moved from cheap primes to the f2.8 zooms all my action photos have been shot at f2.8. During some Summer volleyball tournaments I noticed that quite a ...

I sold the f4 because I needed the f2.8 version for work (indoor sports and events). The f4 was my most used lens for weekend trips. Not only does it have very good optics and image stabilization, ...

If af and ISO performance are your main focus, then the 1dxII is the way to go. I've recently moved from 6D to 5D4 and the extra resolution and ISO performance was a shocker. In this thread I ...

The jump from the my 6D to the 5D4 is huge. I've used my 6D for 5 years and I've always found it's image quality to be great, but watching the files from the 5D4 at 100% is astonishing. I don't ...

This weekend I had the chance to spend some time at a small animal reserve in Hsinchu county (Taiwan). They have a lot of "unusual" animals (well, at least by Taiwanese standards). I brought my 5D4 ...

I'm still learning how to handle the 5D4 and what you just suggested sounds great for me. I shoot mostly indoor volleyball, when I am in landscape orientation I tend to focus with my main ...

So it's not a matter of practice...IT IS a slower process no matter what! I could rely on the central area of the afaf system and go back to my 6D setup of thumb on af button/index on the shutter. ...

I've used my 6D for many years even for sport, so I learned to live with a single af point. What I would do was to keep the subject in the center, then use back button focus and take photos, doing ...

I use Sandisk Extreme Pro on both slots (64gb CF and SD), and I've never run into buffering issues while shooting sports.

I shoot indoor sports. At ISO 1600 the difference between FF and aps-c is huge, and even long before that it's already noticeable. ISO 1600 on modern aps-c cameras isn't bad at all and I got some ...

I upgraded from a 6D and the difference is astonishing. I can't even imagine how it may feel to jump from the original 7D to the 5d4 :-)

I got the 5d4 this month, so I guess that's it for me.

Haven't seen the 860 ii in the stores around here...maybe I'll ask them if it's possible to order it. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks to both of you for the feedback. The focus assist thing isn't a deal breaker for me. It would be nice to have it, but when I shoot an event it's usually in decently lit venues and I only ...

Not as my main system, if I wanted to pay to be a beta-tester I'd be using a Sony. Regardless of that, depending on price/specs/size a mirrorless 5D might be an amazing second body for me. Knowing ...
