I picked up an 80D, for its higher pixel density (24Mp instead of 20) and more recent technology sensor over the 7DII, and love it with the 100-400 II + 1.4 TC III. It does focus and track well, ...

I imagine most birds will crap themselves and get the hell out of the way when a helicopter comes towards them. The drone knows no such fear.

BTW some drones are a few ounces, but some can...

LOL, so what are you doing here...?!
There are some nice Nikon and Sony forums for you...

[Rant mode ON] The guys who came up with the USB 3.1 numbering must be complete a-holes. USB 3.0 SuperSpeed = USB 3.1 Gen 1 SuperSpeed = 5 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 SuperSpeed + = 10 Gbps So they've got ...

Thanks for the feed-back, it sounds plausible, as any splash or moisture on the lens can affect all parts of the pic.

As far as I know, there is no 'real' IBIS where the sensor moves on any Canon DSLRs, the In Body IS is electronic or digital, and therefore only two-axis stabilization. I.e. the sensor doesn't ...

Hi, just a thought, are you shooting RAW?  Any picture style selected?  It couldn't be a picture style effect, e.g. portrait style where it might try smoothing the grasses' skin ?

Love the notion of true blur.
Smearing is only one of the causes of blur. Being OOF is another.

In the photographic world we use bokeh to refer to the OOF blur in the background (most commonly)...

Without flash or tripod, if worried about hand-held camera shake, use Tv (shutter priority) and set a high enough shutter speed (test until you're happy), and use auto ISO. At max aperture, if more ...

No misreading, and agreed, no stupidity evident here :-)
(My post was also aimed at the first message and its subsequent answer)

As for a definition, I would keep things simple, as bokeh is a noun...

We'll soon have legislation demanding a registration number be visible on a drone...
Might be tricky for the very small ones!

Some false generalities also Nicolas. Although most drones have fixed cameras, some can carry cameras that can take much more detailed shots. Even just a Sony RX-100 at 70mm and 24 MPixels will...

Yes, OOF PSF connot be bokeh, as bokeh is not a function but an end result... of OOF PSF ;-)

I have also seen no rumours about a replacement for the 5D mark IV before 2018...

What's 'horrible' about the 1.74 crop? It gives a 1 to 1 pixel, meaning less processing and better quality. Oh yes, you do need the right focal length lens for what you want to film - hey, cool, a ...

Be aware that with the higher resolution, particularly for hand-held stuff, you'll need faster speeds.  Small shakes or vibrations will show up more. Don't hesitate to do a bit of pixel-peeping to ...

Yes, at the time many were quite surprised (pleasantly) that Canon added quite a few new features to the 7D and 5D II, and it shows that if rare, at least Canon are prepared to on some models :-)

Ultra HD 4K mode would be good for all non-pros (and some pros). I.e. 4K video with resolution of 3840x2160 to match most 4k TVs. A choice of codecs would be good, but some may need too much heavy ...

Yes, some major updates with new features on 5D II and 7D, and useful updates also for 5D III (yes to AF f/8) and 1D-X.

The essentail difference between the versions II and III is the faster processor in it. The optical differences are minor (imho). Basically a Canon TC adjusts on the fly the distance the lens moves ...
