I looked at post 1000 and laughed. What the heck is this guy asking for?

lol

total creeper

<Burp - 'scuse me> Had pho with rare steak for lunch.

Sup guys.. the coach for our football team here at school pulled me out of class today (he's the middle school principle as well), to ask me if I would like to be hired to take pictures of the football team next year and be their official photographer. I was like yes! So now I have 2 main priorities: save up this summer to get the 70-200IS 2.8 MK II + 1DsII. I'm still getting the 5Dc but I am going to need the AF of the 1DsII ad the reach of the 70-200 otherwise I will get the f/4 IS.

1. nice

2. Why a 1Ds2? I would rather have a 7D (for both af performance and APS-C), you will need APS-C if all you have is a 70-200 for range.

Nice!!! I'm going to be selling my 1D2 for a 1ds2 cause that's the only other camera that fits my water housing.

I do agree the 7D would be a better choice.

I'm just going to buy a 2x extender. I know it might not make sense but to be honest I don't want a 7D, I want FF for whatever I do. I might even use this camera for other things other than sports and to be honest I would much rather have the FF for it.

Let me know how you like the 1DsII. I don't know if in fact I am getting the 1DsII for sure but because the coach pulled me aside and told me he'd hire me (hopefully for some extra cash.. if not it's still pretty cool), I had to rethink my whole plan on what I wanted to buy this summer.

Yes, but the price of a 1Ds2 is almost as much as a 5Dc + 7D. Plus I am slightly curious why you are so fixated on FF I guess, FF is not the holy grail end all.

An extender is gonna hurt IQ, even the new Canon Mark 3's, just sayin

What about a 1Div?

Hope you iron out things with the coach and he treats you fairly.

True true.. I don't know I just realized that a 7D would make things a lot more cheaper then. I will be selling my 35L though eventually when the time comes so I can buy whatever camera I decide on and the 70-200.

I don't think he's treating me unfairly.. but I was just approached by him and he asked me if I could shoot for him and he'd hire me. But a 1DIV is too much money for me, I would be willing to shell out the same amount for a 5DMK II but nothing more really.

As long as the coach doesn't touch you in the shower you are good
