Renaming the REBEL!

[krepta]

The TF signal was made by Skygod™Lol, I know it was not actually his or yours. I was referring to these previous posts:
You have to do it properly with the TF signal and all!
I lost mine when I waved it too vigorously to get Stealthy his current title :oops:It was just an inside joke, you see. :)

[Stealthy Ninja]

I'm just putting in a disclaimer.

BTW I think I just set a record for selling a camera.

Sold my 5D back to the guy who sold it to me within 5 minutes of mentioning it.

Why, what was wrong with it? If i am understanding what you wrote....

[Stealthy Ninja]

You misunderstood.

The guy sold it to me about 6 months ago. I mentioned to him I am going to get a 1DIV and want to sell my 5D (which he sold to me). He emailed me back within' 5 minutes saying he'd buy it back. :)

[KCY]

ah k, I understand.

Went to Ying Kee store you told me about today stealth to get some flash gels....my word i didn't know how big these things were....:(

My bank account hates you Stealthy!!! :p:p

(although it was very cheap)

[krepta]

I hate you all because I don't own any studio lighting, let alone know how to use any such tools. That's something I have yet to learn, studio lighting and studio shoots. I just have a single 580EX II. :(

(The 'hate' part is not true, though! ^^ )

Me too - just stuck with a single flash. SWMBO will not allow more purchases atm (although she did just allow me a Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 :D )

Need to get out and use it now though - if only the rain would clear!:mad:

And should it prove to fail, at least then you have an excuse for your wife (Grand Master of all things money in this household?) to buy new toys? ;)

I need to marry a fellow photog so that this kind of restriction is never imposed on me, lol.

Hmmm. A 10-20mm. Sounds like a good tool for kilt checking.

Hmm im not sure. Would the distortion be good or bad?:confused:

Umbrella, Stand, Wireless Transmitter/trigger (RF-602), Gels, stand adaptor all for 560 HKD (72 USD) :D

Well depends how close you could get....would be quite a view!!

Don't quite have the nack for it yet though.....

I wonder if I can find such good deals here.

First little play with the new setup!

Don't quite have the nack for it yet though.....I would say they look quite good. In fact it looks delicious, hehe. Damn you're making me crave for dessert and it's barely 8:15AM here. :confused:

[neilwood32]

Sorry were we supposed to be looking at the lighting?

Shouldnt have such delicious models! :D

[KCY]

That is amazing! :shock:

No idea, come on just get a ticket over here.....get a mk4 or two whilst your at it ;):p:p

Well.....breakfast is a meal.....and a dessert after a meal is fine ;)

Sorry were we supposed to be looking at the lighting?

Shouldnt have such delicious models! :D

oh it tastes much better than it looks if thats any consolation :p

[krepta]

No idea, come on just get a ticket over here.....get a mk4 or two whilst your at itI'd love to, but flying to HK just to get a good deal on a camera, lens, and/or accessories would be offset by the cost of travel. :(
(Of course, if I happen to be on vacation there, I'd take a good look at what's available and what I can stuff in my suitcase, lol).

Maybe if I move over there, hmmm... but then, to settle in the land of Sealthy and KCY, with all the weird, magical creatures and silliness... It would be too good of a fit for me. :shock::lol:

Well.....breakfast is a meal.....and a dessert after a meal is fineI am a strange one: I eat cereal (as in, breakfast cereal with cold milk) night and day. Breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, accompanying dinner, after dinner as dessert, as a snack after dessert, and/or midnight snack. I mean, it's not always all of those, but I can eat cereal at any time of the day. Kid's cereal, grown-up cereal, any of them. I don't know about cake or other sweets as dessert after breakfast... but now that it's nighttime here, that's beside the point. I'll mentally devour that cake in your photos. :)

oh it tastes much better than it looks if thats any consolationLeave some for us!!! :D

[krepta]

Oh, and to get back on topic slightly (forgive me Stealthy!), now that the T2i is out, I will go ahead and say we can expect a T3i and maybe a T4i in the future. You know what this means, right?

Rename the Rebel line as the Canon EOS Terminator and drop the "i". Get rid of the lower Rebel line XXXXD. And switch up the XXXD model numbers for Cyberdyne Systems model numbers.

Canon EOS Terminator T1 / T-800 (T-101)
Canon EOS Terminator T2 / T-1000
Canon EOS Terminator T3 / T-X
Canon EOS Terminator T4 / Marcus Wright

Yes, the model "numbers" will no longer be in order and will be a lot more confusing to the casual consumer, but North Americans will finally have a camera name they can boast about!

Imagine the following scenario:

"Hey, what camera do you have?"
"Oh, I have a Canon EOS Rebel T2i. It's 18 Megapixels and shoots video."

And replace that with:

"Hey, what camera do you have?"
"This is a Canon EOS Terminator T2, series 1000. It has a Digic IV Neural Net Processor learning CPU in a mimetic polyalloy body. It is an infiltrator unit that can mimic any other DSLR out there, including Nikon and Sony."
(said with manly Austrian accent)

On August 8, 2010, Canon becomes self-aware and launches a massive nuclear attack on what it deems to be a threat to its existence, Nikon and Sony. Judgement Day...

Oh wait, I got a little carried away, sorry. :lol:

[Stealthy Ninja]

That is amazing! :shock:

They're made in China. They're good enough though.

[WMS]

They're made in China. They're good enough though.


Stealthy, Isn't Hong Kong a part of China?

Wayne

[krepta]

They're made in China. They're good enough though.Oh yes, we know this here too. Almost everything is made in China. Heck, even American flags are made in China. Stuff made here usually bear something like "Proudly made in the U.S.A" to remind the public that we (supposedly) make better stuff. Except for cars. :D

Stealthy, Isn't Hong Kong a part of China?In geo-political terms, one could argue that Hong Kong is a part of China, or that it is apart from China.

But when it comes down to "Made in...", Made in China and Made in Hong Kong are completely different. :)

[neilwood32]

But when it comes down to "Made in...", Made in China and Made in Hong Kong are completely different. :)

Yeah - Made in China means a knock of of someone else, Made in Hong Kong means good workmanship.

Usually:rolleyes:

[WMS]

I recently had to find a watch which I was changing the battery in quite humorous, the name on the Dial was "Geneva" the Movement was stamped "Japan" and the inside of the case was stamped "China". I doubt that any part o this watch ever came close to Switzerland.

Wayne

[Stealthy Ninja]

Yeah - Made in China means a knock of of someone else, Made in Hong Kong means good workmanship.

Usually:rolleyes:

Yep, also made in Taiwan (now) means good stuff (Asus). Some say Taiwan is part of China (just different location and governing/monetary system... not a huge difference). :rolleyes:

Like made in Korea. If you mean SOUTH Korea, it's the good stuff. NORTH Korea, well... I hear they make some good bullets.

[krepta]

Like made in Korea. If you mean SOUTH Korea, it's the good stuff. NORTH Korea, well... I hear they make some good bullets.I always assumed it was common understanding that "Korea" stood for South Korea. But, it so happens someone actually once asked me if this thing made in Korea means made in South Korea, "because, you know, the North is communist and all and cut off from the world." I doubt North Korea makes good bullets. Didn't you hear what happened with their missiles? :)

not gonna get involved in the made in where discussion :p

It will be low ISO performance that rules that day - ISO 0.0005 for when the bomb goes up!:lol:

Neil, I must disagree, you just need a 1000 stop neutral density filter.

Wayne

[Stealthy Ninja]

They'll start selling welders masks in photography stores.

[neilwood32]

Neil, I must disagree, you just need a 1000 stop neutral density filter.

Wayne

Just wondering if you know where they are available? Just in case:p

[krepta]

I want to see a horde of undead zombie Hello Kitty ninjas battling terminators and Skynet.
Stealthy, how much to commission, hmm, about a billion of your Hello Kitty warriors?

(Okay, I had an excruciating long day at work, all right? Lol...)

[WMS]

Just wondering if you know where they are available? Just in case:p

If you cannot find one at your local camera shop, you can use a piece of one inch steel plate. Just knock the glass out of an old UV filter and put the steel plate in its place.

Wayne

[neilwood32]

I suppose that would work - after all the radiation coming through the steel would probably expose my sensor! :D

That sounds like an excellent idea!! Everyone loves kitty movies and ninjas and zombie flicks!! It could just work!!

It would probably leave your impression on whatever you happened to be standing in-front of......although as you say it is very small ;):p

[Stealthy Ninja]

What's this thread about?

I think we should just keep the numbers.

[neilwood32]

I never said it was very small although I have seen larger!

It is however very old and has lots of history.





I am of course talking about the Castle in my sig.:p

All is relative, Neil. I just presumed the girl is admiring your caber.

Just remember, Even a little macro lens can do amazing things that the "big boys" cannot.

Hey - I never said it was a macro, I like to think of it as a wide aperture tele prime :lol: .

I may be mistaken though

[krepta]

But a supertelephoto can be a pain to drag around, sometimes. On the other hand, most zooms can go from compact to extended, making them easy to transport and versatile for when you need it!

[KCY]

That is true.....but sometimes when a zoom lens gets old zoom creep can be so unexpected at times....

So what name should the 550D have???

I propose "The Slayer" as its going to be better than the 7D and 5D and 1D........

Were you intimidating them and calling them names?? :p

That is one angry child

[Stealthy Ninja]

I have another one of a kid doing the high jump that's equally funny. Also another one of a guy running who looks like he's waving to me.

All to come later.

I've actually had friends who pick an entry level Nikon SLR just because "Rebel" sounded crappy for a camera.

They really should drop the names.

With the 60D coming out and many people believing it's a "Rebel" with a nasty snarl on it's face. I think it's time this thread rose from it's grave.

[Geoff_Shawcross]

Hehe......I'd say.

......Rebel Zombie Thread...... :)

[JonSC]

I love how Hello Kitty has the most votes!

Canon Digital HelloKitty1i
500HelloKittyD
KissHelloKittyx3

I think that this thread is now obsolete, as Canon has renamed the rebel series the 60D.......

Yup, that sounds about right Wayne. I think there are quite a few that would agree.

[Stealthy Ninja]

Yes, I agree the "Rebel" is the 60D.

Now what's the XXXD series gonna do?! ???

[neilwood32]

Is it not the Super Rebel (comes complete with cape)?:lol::lol::lol:

They should take a play from Motorola's book...name the REBEL the PEBL...make it smooth, so that it slips right out of your hands!

[gary88]

Yes, I agree the "Rebel" is the 60D.

Now what's the XXXD series gonna do?! ???

Rebel without a cause.

[Hartley]

What, no "racist"?

[dontcallmeash]

do what GM does with the 60d.

yukon-->yukon XL

vortec-->vortecMAX

rebel XL, rebelMAX

the MAX has a nice ring to it, like the road warrior.

I'd tell you the answer to that, but I'm afraid someone......gulp.......might interveen before I could say it. :shock:

I think others have tried, but now they are permanently propped up outside coffee shops to anoy customers and owners......so I've been told.

[Stealthy Ninja]

I don't have 3000 accounts. :p
