Along the lines of your remarks, if the G1X III does 90% of the typical photographer's needs and if that 90% covers 100% of what YOU use it for, then you're in like Flynn. As you correctly infer, ...

I think it's a 1963-1967 Corvette. Jim

I agree completely.

You're right about the $$ (Yikes is a very good word :-) ). However the "slowness" of the lens really doesn't impact things much as my photography is almost always done in good light. The 7D ...

It exists... and I own it. I have  7D II with a Canon 100-400 II lens. Yes, it takes beautiful pictures but it's a beast. If the RX10 IV has the clarity of the 100-400 II lens and the AF of the 7D ...

Agreed. Even if Canon utilized the form factor of the SX50HS/SX60HS with an upgraded built-in EVF, Digic 7, and G3X lens, t's just not that much bigger than a G3X yet is more compact if an EVF is ...

That's true only if you use the VF. But if you use live view you can take advantage of PDAF which only the SL2 has. I also have both the SL1 and SL2 and agree with TxF...the SL2 is significantly ...

Specific to the 45 all cross type AF capability, yes, it IS a big deal. I purchased an SL2 knowing it had the dated 9 point (1 cross type) AF system of the SL1 but it also has DPAF. The 45 point ...

That's because many of the people who spend (waste) $10K on a highly capable camera system only use it like the camera in a cell phone and get similar results.

I wonder if this camera will be good for aviation photography (flying aircraft)? Fast AF acquisition and solid tracking are "musts". Anyone have comments on this?

As a fellow Pro1 owner it's fun to use it once in a while. Old or not it's still an excellent camera. Jim

Honestly, if the Mark I (I have one too) would have had 24mm capability, I wouldn't have bothered purchasing the Mark II. The Mark II is also a nice camera but I prefer using the Mark I. Jim

I went with the 7D Mark II...perfect for action activities (sports, cars, aircraft, birds in flight, etc.). It has 65 autofocus points, all of which are cross type. The results using this camera ...

Go away.

But there's the id requirement as well. So that shouldn't happen. Anyway, I've made my point. This was just to alert others that if they purchase from Canon to ensure that their merchandise is sent ...

No choice. It's Canon's call regarding who the shipper is.

What was referring to this canon rumors Canon G1X III If true, that would be fine along with a fully articulating LCD. That's all...just pure speculation. Jim

Feel better? Are you kidding? So you think it's a good policy not to be able to simply change a delivery address (while retaining signature/id requirements) as well as not being able to pick up a ...

Regarding the difference in IQ, I would agree for mostly static subjects. However, for moving ones (aircraft, cars, birds, etc.), the 7dII's autofocus/tracking abilities clearly make a difference ...

There was no notification from Canon or from UPS that a signature was required. I asked to do that very thing and was told by UPS that wasn't allowed. I then called Canon and asked them to instruct ...
