Canon 60D Users, Unite! (2)

Remember that IS will give you a more useable slow shutter but it will not help stop action. Likewise 2.8 will give you a more native fast shutter in that same low light than a native f4 would. In the end that argument between those 2 lenses come down to if you are shooting static or moving subjects.

Example being, being able to shoot at 1/15 a 105mm may seem great if your shooting a stool in a dim bar but pit a person on that stool that is interacting and moving and 1/15 ain't gonna seem so hot when you review the images (read: motion blur). High ISO is the ticket in low light, then fast glass, then subject control.

It's the thought that counts Vin

Take a look here at this sweet deal. You must act by midnight tomorrow however.

Most of my shooting will be mo ing subjects. I do nderstand that there will be only so much I can do once it's dark even with a 2.8 thanks for the link, that is very tempting. How are the refurbed slr holding up? With that saving should I purchase a warranty for it. Shoot it's going to be hard debating over the night hahaha

Well I added the canon site deal and it came out to almost 1000 after shipping and stinky taxes. So there is only a 125 in saving which I think it might be worth buying it new from b&h and at least have warranty for a full year rather than a month only?

For an even better deal check out CLP(Canon Loyalty Program) $831 plus local sales tax for 60D kit 18-135 refurb, free 2nd day shipping. Price is static so no rush. Only caveat is you need an out of warranty canon to send in to qualify. eBay is great for them, I was the high bidder on 3 broken canons for $16 shipped.

See this thread for all the details:

Is it frozen tree's or is it my windscreen. Ok it's the windscreen I just loved the way it looked like trees.

CLP is definitely another way to go. Refurb kits have 3 month warranty if I'm not mistaken, not sure on CLP.

Looks like one of my hiking maps.

Lol you shoulnt. It's not a grand national it's just a 4 eye 1986 coupe that getting a nasty ford big block motor in, so I hope. Well at first I was set on stone for the 7d, but I have come to the conclusion that is way too much camera for me to start with and knowing that I don't have much patience at all I will give up on it. I had an xsi last year so I'm sort of familiar with the revel body a bit although I did not use it much. This time I kind of want to get the 60d and a good lens to begin with and be semi happy for a while until I consider some else or find an excuse to do so. I mostly attend drag tracks and xan get pretty close or far as they don't care much as long as I move from time to time. Budget wise im pretty tight as I got too many hobbies going on at once but like I said I wouldn't mind some good lens from the get go.

Ps. I'm looking at b&h site and they have the 60d kit with the 18-135 lens for 1095 shipped. Maybe I should give that a try and learn the camera then upgrade the lens and maybe some gear as I go? I'm just stuck in the lens part, camera I'm set on a new or refurbed 60d

Thanks man

The 18-135 is actually not a bad lens at all, if you look back a few pages there is a pic of a dinosaur skeleton I took in very low light with the shutter at a very low speed, handheld. The IS on that lens is very good. It is a good general purpose/walk around lens.

How about this?

Also the crop is too close, remember you lose even more of the image when you frame it, he'll end up losing like half df the top of his head!

That would be one hell of a hike.

I cut off tops of heads all the time. I like the effect. Focus' more on the subjects facial features and I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

So, what is everyone up to this week-end?
