So clean at 1600. I dont think I've been able to get similar results - Im sure its my user error.

What metering mode? Did you do any noise reduction? Maybe you ETTR? any help is appreciated, that looks great!

To get clean images at high ISO its essential that you dont underexpose.

I'm not familiar with the 28-70 -- are you sure you don't mean the 24-70 f/2.8L?

Old version of 24-70... it's a great lens. We had a few knocking around at my school

First time trying to post here. I got a 5Dc last December. Amazing camera. I love its `drawbacks`: simple to use, simple menu, controls and settings feel almost like shooting with an old film camera. The quality is such that I am not buying a 6D right now but will buy more lenses instead until I out-growth the 5Dc (probably never).

I have been trying to post some pictures but keep getting rejected. POTN says my files are too large (I have reduced them consistently to about 600k). How can I reduce the size in bytes (I understand the maximum is 150K!) and at the same time keeping the size in pixels? I need some help, please. I am using Faststone. Thanks.

Welcome! I've owned a 5D mark III, two 5DII's and this is my second 5Dc and the 5Dc still puts out amazing images. I think it mostly has to do with the weaker AA screen so it's like a "digital" filmic look.

As for putting the image in, simple. Just copy your link, and embed it between these two things

If you want to post them from a Web "host", just resize them to the POTN limit of 1024 pixels at the "widest". If you upload them from your computer, you also need to use your software to resize to within 150KB in file size!

I have been taking a peak to "5D2 owners unite! Discuss and Post Photos!" I have to say...the quality of the pictures of the 5D classic are just as awesome!! Although I think people posting here are more creative.

Bryan, Tony, thank you very much for the help. I try again now.

@ eeks, great shot! I agree ^^

on a side note, how do you feel about the 28-70 2.8 L?

The 28-70 f2.8L was the grandfather to the 24-79.

Its big, heavy, and a bit slower compared to the new kids...but having said that...I LOVE IT.

The only caveat, is that it is no longer supported by Canon. If anything goes wrong, you would have to send it to an independent repair facility.

Having said that, I have had mine for a good 5 years now, and in those 5 years, its been on the beach, on the streets of NYC...banged around a race track, taken to car shows...in the studios...

Its a great lens, sharp all the way out to the edges (to my eye anyway). Its a great working focal length for almost everything.

Metering was center weighted avg....noise reduction in post (LR4). But, not as much as you would think...

Exposure was key...With my street shooting at night...I do intentionally ETTR. But, in this case, there was great light coming from the window

oh...and thanks for the compliments all...its rare, but once in a while...I get a good shot in...

Double exposures
