Bumping!

Canon 5D Mark II Body with BG-E6 grip for $1250! http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1838639 SOLD!

Thanks! Yeah it's my baby despite the bumps. I forgot to mention that it just came back from a CPS cleaning and inspection. The files it produces are amazing :)

My 5D Mark II body with a little under 52,000 actuations. In excellent working condition. Comes with a genuine Canon BG-E6 battery grip (some wear marks on the corners), a genuine Canon battery, and all of the original packaging and accessories for both. Asking $1250 shipped in Canada. Add $15...

My first model shoot of 2014 :)

If all else fails... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dPlkFPowCc ;)

Agreed, the usable ISO on my 7D is about half that of my 5D2! The current generation of Canon sensors seem a lot better than previous ones, but Sony (makers of image sensors for Nikon, Pentax, etc.) had leapfrogged them in noise performance over the last 5yrs or so. I think Fuji is the company...

You have to nail your exposure in camera if you want to avoid dealing with noise in post. Meter for the shadows and recover your slightly blown highlights in post. There is more image data available for your software to use in the highlights than in the shadows, so follow the Expose To The...

Are you actually considering upgrading from an entry level consumer camera to Canon's flagship professional sports camera? There's gonna be a learning curve! Here's a comparison site that shows the two cameras head-to-head: http://camerarocket.com/cameras/Canon-Rebel-T3i-vs-Canon-EOS-1D-X

I think moving from crop to FF is only advantageous when you've hit the limit of what the lenses available for crop bodies can provide. I think it's only worth the investment if all your zooms are f/2.8 and you've got a good lineup of fast primes but STILL crave: a) shallower depth of field...

Honestly a FF body will have a relatively minor impact on the look of your images given your current lenses. It'll make them wider (Your 19-35 going into the ultra-wide category), but you still won't get much of a shallow depth of field effect from any of them due to their slow apertures. With...

Personally, I'd keep the T2i body, sell all of your current slow/soft glass (except maybe the fisheye), and replace it with some better quality / faster aperture lenses. At the top of my list would be the inexpensive Sigma or Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, and then maybe look at great bang-for-buck fast...

There's already a comparison video between the 5DIII raw video alpha and the Blackmagic cinema camera, most agree the raw/dng video comes out on top: http://vimeo.com/66170436 The problem with using something like a 5DIII or 5DII for video, especially at higher ISOs, is the very limited dynamic...

Right, the key is to make sure you don't clip in either direction (highlights or shadows). Use the clipping warnings in camera or look at your histogram to make sure none of it spikes past the top of the chart or is trimmed off either the left or right edges. That being said, exposing to the...
