Even the best unedited photos can be made better most of the time with a little bit of intentional processing.

Sep 28, 2012 14:26 | #6484 Geejay wrote in post #15054778 This thread has got me seriously considering a 1DIII. Had been planning to get a gripped 7D to replace my 20D (will keep the 50D). But after reading all the negative posts about noisy images and files that need considerable post processing to get sharp pictures, etc. I'm having serious doubts about the 7D. Maybe it's time for some 1D goodness... This thread may not make the choice clear, but it gave me the information I needed to make the right choice for me. The nice thing is that you can beat on a 1D3 for a few months, and if it's not right for you, sell it and go 7D anyway. I doubt that will be the case though... 1D MkIV | 1D MkIII | 550D w/grip & ML| EF 70-200mm f2.8L| EF 24-105mm f4L IS | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS | Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC | 430EXii | EF 50mm f1.8

Sep 28, 2012 14:29 | #6485 How long are people seeing their battery last? I got just over 3,000 images on mine last weekend, and ended up at 40% (going downhill fast at that point). I was quite happy with that, as I think this is an old battery. 1D MkIV | 1D MkIII | 550D w/grip & ML| EF 70-200mm f2.8L| EF 24-105mm f4L IS | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS | Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC | 430EXii | EF 50mm f1.8

I have to do some on the images from my 50D to get best results. You can't erase a dream, you can only wake me up.

I bought a used battery a couple of weeks ago and ended up getting 4600 shots out of it. Ended up being at 7%. That's with review off, servo mode on, AV, IS on, 70-200 2.8L w/2X converter.

Sep 28, 2012 16:35 | #6489 Geejay wrote in post #15054880 My doubts over the 7D come from reading reviews and discussion threads in forums like this one. When it came out, I recall a lot of love for the 7D, but most threads now talk about poor high ISO/low light performance, difficulty setting up the focusing system, poor exposure latitude, cluttered viewfinder.... The issues just seem to keep stacking up. I just realized that my embedded link above may not have stood out: https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1200639 vince_ross wrote in post #15055025 I bought a used battery a couple of weeks ago and ended up getting 4600 shots out of it. Ended up being at 7%. That's with review off, servo mode on, AV, IS on, 70-200 2.8L w/2X converter. I was very impressed...  I ended up turning the review option off when I shoot soccer, basically because I don't look at the screen until halftime and after the game. I think that will help boost battery power. I rarely use live view too. Sweet! I could turn off the review, as I really don't use it for anything productive. Then again, I generally charge this battery once/month, and my 3000 shot shooting sessions are pretty limited, thank goodness. I'm running post on this last session now, and I only have 800 images to go! 1D MkIV | 1D MkIII | 550D w/grip & ML| EF 70-200mm f2.8L| EF 24-105mm f4L IS | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS | Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC | 430EXii | EF 50mm f1.8

Yep, under setup menu 1 (the first yellow wrench when you hit the menu button) go to "Record func.+media/folder sel.", then highlight and select "Record func." and pick "Rec. separately". Now get out of the menus and on the back of the camera push the "func." botton under the small LCD screen and you can pick whatever file type goes to which card there.

). When the 7D was announced and hit the market at $1700, the 1D was still $3K more, and now you can get them for about the same price, when considering the grip. Good value.
