We have a great Greenwich location!

I signed for the 24th session. Still unsure about the 25th workshop. You know Late April. I can only make a decision like that as we get closer. You know, I don't even buy green bananas or Wine you have to cell for long! That's why I love photography. Whatever you spend, you get the value out in 6 months! Has to be true because the value is gone LOL.

Got it? Thanks for info on 5dM2.

Have they solved the hot pixel issue, if it is a factor? Other than that, most of the complaints seem to be related to Canon's crippling of movie controls to protect their movie cameras (Corporate Greed!).

I wanted to get one when they were released, but I thought the movie thing was irrelevant to me. Then all the talk about so many hot pixels and even some low light complaints which scared me!

Just bought a 5D Mark2. Should have it Thursday! Now watch, Canon will come out with a new billion pixel machine that takes HDR and has a built in 800mm lens.

Speaking of 800MM, I am tiring of Artie Morris @ Birds as Art always waving it in us poor folks faces! LOL

PS: I think that to get a rise out of Snir, you have to go to the Nikon Forum??? Double LOL

Just don't set your expectations extremely high for the autofocus. It's just like the old 5D, as far as i'm concerned.

But the resolution and ISO is what really makes it shine. The video is a nice to have, as we talked about. Though, don't think you'll record video and just upload it directly. You need software to transcode it to a slightly compressed format that is acceptable to the web.

Oh and this will help: http://www.rodemic.com …hone.php?produc​t=VideoMic (external link)

Thanks, I have put it off because at first, the movie thing turned me off. Bit the 5D "Classic" is ready to retire. My Granddaughter wants it.

Thanks Brendan! I ordered it at 3:30 PM yesterday with NAPP free shipping. I got a voice mail early this morning from UPS telling me to make sure someone was here today for delivery !!

The links show a pretty sophisticated movie setup. Do you think it adds to the overall quality level ?
