for newest model from sony. if you have T100, possibly you want try T300 or other series with vibration reduction since u do a lot night action photos.

What do you reckon? Answer below!

toy ISO1600 EOS5D2(fullframe is overhyped).

EOS7D is a much better camera than the 5D2 , I reckon I made a huge mistake choosing the 5D2 as my main body , if I did not need a TSE or a Sigma 12-24 , then I would keep my 7d instead.

But the TSE 24f3.5 was no longer a real TSE lens on a crop body so I had to keep my 5D2.

Though , if my reason to get a full frame over the 7D was supposedly a bit better high ISO noise , I am sure I would be really disappointed with my pronouncement………..

There is no full frame noise advantage , supposed to be a stop better full frame noise perfomance is a huge lie or at least myth.

Considering the DOF difference of full frame to crop , with a full frame to get similar DOF , we need to stop it down futher , thus, we have to choose a stop or 2 stops high ISO value to get the same shutter speed , so unless we are shooting on a tripod or wide open , there is no fullframe noise advantage………….

In fact , in handheld , deep DOF photography , the crop has the edge over the FF , produce the current best high ISO full frame namely the D3s has just 1/2 stop better high ISO noise routine than the current best crop the 7D or the D90 , and the D3 given its extremely shallow DOF and pixel density , it must be stopped down 1.5 stops more to get the same DOF as with the D90 , so unless we equate ISO12800 of the D3s to ISO3200 or 2500 of the D90 or the 7D , it is not honest , not showing any real life routine difference of these 2 different formats……….

if the supposed to be a bit better Full frame noise routine is the only reason to upgrade to so-called fullframe , then , it is not worth the effort……………..

IMO, we better invest in computer program like Nic Define 2.0 or Nic sharpener than a silly huge brick like D3s or 1D4 (of course assuming we are not shooting silly low set alight sports).

Full frame is really over hyped , it is a just boom trendy thing in this film-to-digital transition period of photography description.

But as ancient film guys die out in a few being , then who cares about FF or APS-C?

Many of us who grew up with crop digitals do not care about 35mm acts as 35mm or 85mm acts like 85mm in the film time , but worried to lose our 200mm lens acting like 320mm or 300mm…………..so, for me crop factor is a plus not ninus effect on my photography.

and I believe most of those who are export into 35mm digital system , really do not even need it or really they better off shooting with a excellent crop like this 7D but they are brain washed by those moronic forums or reviews and obsessed with high ISO noise routine only and selfjustify to buy a so-called fullframe, which really is crop of MF.

it is even not a full frame , there are a couple of larger formats than it , and so why people call it fullframe?

in film time , as far as I remember , it was the second cheapest and smallest format of all.

and now , people use it like some kinda status trophie, as to look down an APS-C fan?

this is really ridiculous.

I wanted to test full frame, to really confirm if my previous thoughts on APS vs FF were all right, yeah they were all right.

Now, I know I will never want a full frame , I have a 5D2 since I can not sell it but it is the last FF camera for me , I estimate I will get a 7D mark2 or Pentax K7 and never ever reckon about FF.

The D3s noise advantage is coming from RAW NR and not the better sensor tech or design at all , the 5D2 has more banding than the 7D.

Only one fullframe may be worth it to me is the Sony A900 or 850 since it’s got In-camera-IS and real excellent low ISO IQ……………the 5D2 is not worth , I try to shoot it from 400 to 1600ISO only , never go up or down because it shows dreadful banding pattern noise at ISO100 in deep shadow pushed +2 EV or ISO3200 and up.

This kind of dreadful pattern noise , I never found in 7D files or Nikon D90 files.

And I am sure as tech gets better and better , many people want to go less vital rather than larger and Canon will go less vital not larger, this FF thing is a temporal transitional thing from film to digital.

I really wanna buy a Sony cybershot camera with minimum 7 mega pixel and when you film, there has to be signal on. And it would be nice if it isn’t to expensive….delight help me!!!!!!!!

I would recommend the DSC-W80 or higher. These cameras have no manual focus or exposure, it is all automated. Though, the camera’s auto-focus is very excellent, it gets it right each time. the price is under $ 200 if you buy it at the right time.

It has movie with signal mode and a bunch of other modes for shooting in various forms. The menus are hard to steer, though.

Check out the W300 (about $ 320) or the W120 (about $ 200)
