Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

I use that lock in on settings and recompose my shot and snap? I know i can do it by pressing shutter release button half way and aim for the desired shot and go from there but is this the same idea different steps? 5D*Sigma 50/1.4*EF 17-40/4

Pretty much the same idea, but if you use your shutter button to focus and also to lock your exposure it's gonna have an improper focus on the subject. So it would be better to exposure lock, recompose, focus, and take the shot. Or you could just use manual or change the buttons around.
