The *Official Photography Thread*

Yup, I thought maybe I should have clarified that after I posted. I was namely referring to the most recent lineup, such as D7100 and D800. The D4 being the top tier and older models being different, etc. good clarification, just in case. Thanks.

 

go to a store and handle them yourself before you buy.

I agree with chenbro too. The 70D is a nice unit.

also if it is out of your budget, i am sure you can find some great deals on the 60D that the 70D just replaced last fall which is what Marc and I shoot with.

 

this could help you decide between the 70d and 60d

The 60D is one I've looked at too. There are a good many for sale used around here. What would you pay for a used one in good shape?

 

Sure, if its in good shape and lowish shutter count id buy used.

Also check out Canon's refurbished cameras.

 

You might have to keep checking but this is a great way to get a decent price.

Also, if you already own a Canon Camera, there is a loyalty program that helps a bit with price. Again, this may not be exactly what you want and you may need to check back.

And don't forget Costco.

 

Is this on canons website?

 

Yep: http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/cameras/refurbished-eos-digital-slr-cameras

You can find refurbished bodies/lenses/flashes there.

 

The loyalty program requires you to call. 866-443-8002. You will need a serial number to continue. (866)-443-8002 (866)-443-8002(866)-443-800

 

1/28/2014: Due to the high volume of media applications: We are NO LONGER ACCEPTING Media Credentials from Free Lance or Team Media for KOH Week 2014!

If you are media for an official ULTRA4 Sponsor or Published Media outlet we will still accept your request.


well that sucks....guess I wont be on the trail this year. but if any team or sponsor would like to help me out and rep me I would be interesting in helping your company out and provide all your photography need for KOH week. If anyone know anyone who is looking for a media assistant please let me know. 805 208 5196

 

That's why it's important to get your application in early.

 

I know, i totally forgot to get mine in early. Been busy with school these past few semester. worst case senario ill be on the sideline with any choice of lens. thinking about bringing the 300mm and the 500mm.

 

Earlier in the day the clouds were awesome, so I was trying to hustle to get out to a spot I could get a shot, but the lady's work meeting ran long and the clouds decided to suck so I couldn't really get the challenge shot, but I got this.

What would you consider a low shutter count?

 

Shutters have a life cycle on them. Usually around 150,000 clicks for consumer.

 

Cool shot!!

 

mm...under 10k probably would be real low.




Awesome shot TJ!

 

since i couldn't get a media pass for KOH, i just sent in my application for BAP so i hope i can at least snag a pass for that. wish me luck.

 

sensor dust
