That’s great! I bet your enjoying that new camera. How much did you pick it up for if you don’t mind me asking?

I bet your enjoying that new camera. How much did you pick it up for if you don’t mind me asking? It's complicated. The actual cost was $3100 but that included a Canon Canon Pro-100 ($400) selling unopened box new now. Included a Canon grip ($309) selling unopened box now. 50 sheets LU-101 paper. ($60) also selling. 64g mem card ($40) keeping, and a $350 AMEX rebate. With the rebate and selling I figure my out of pocket is going to be about $2200, $2300. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Jan 15, 2018 22:50 | #18 I do. I started shooting on DSLr since 2007 with my 450D, then to 40D, but during 2011 till 2016 I kind of got off the hobby. Started again since last year August with my first full frame. Just being a hobby I didn't wanted to invest too much on gear. I took the suggestions of many and purchased 2 good L lenses and choose to buy a decent condition used 5D MKii instead of a newer model or a new body. I know its a 10 years old model now, and much advanced models are available these days. It serves my purpose as I am more into landscapes and non-static subject photography, I know its limitations on focusing taking portraits or action shots compared to its newer versions, but I can bear it as none of my work are professional level.

RPCrowe Cream of the Crop  More info Post edited over 5 years ago by RPCrowe. | Jan 25, 2018 22:25 | #22 I was shooting my general photography (especially action) with the 7D2 and 7D cameras. I use a 70-200mm f/4L IS lens to shoot my dog portraits and I dearly love this lens.  Image hosted by forum (896777) © RPCrowe [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff. However, at times I did not have enough room to back up and capture larger dogs or several dogs at 70mm with a crop camera. I decided that I wanted a full frame camera which would cover more area at the same lens to subject distance using the 70mm end of the lens. Since I found a 5D2 at a very good price used, I purchased it and I am quite happy with it. Lately, I have used the 70-200mm on the full frame camera and a 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens on my 7D2. This gives me equivalent focal lengths of from 70mm to 560mm with no gap but a slight overlap between 160mm and 200mm which I have on both cameras. This is a really nice combination of cameras and lenses. I found a new 6D2 at a very good price and I am evaluating this camera. The jury is still out on that one... BTW: The images are a lot sharper than they look here. This is a Snip It Tool copy of my smugmug.com page... See my images at http://rpcrowe.smugmug.com/

ChrisMc73 Goldmember  3,212 posts Likes: 7 Joined Mar 2009 Location: Edmond, OK More info | Mar 08, 2018 10:42 | #27 I still have one, but want to sell it and upgrade to the Mark IV, which I've rented twice now and love. I also have 24-70 and 70-200 Mark I's that I want to sell. I pretty much just want to get new gear to go with the new camera. I played with the ideas of switching brands too but haven't really taken that seriously. Though the prices of used bodies makes me think I should just keep it as a backup/second shooter type camera, maybe let my boys learn on it when they become interested etc...

Perhaps time to upgrade. I have a perfectly good 40D laying around and doing nothing which might be a candidate for conversion...... Sold my D60 IR conversion only about two years back. I prefer the IR filter and results from the D60 vs. the 5D2!!! GEAR LIST
