Mr Bill, those are some great shots

Thanks Rick. Went back this morning to get some sunrise shots and the river was gone. Just a few puddles here and there. :(

Tested my new 22$ e-bay brolly box with 5Dc last night at friends house.

Almost SOOC. Only edited exposure for letters on dragon and removed couple of spots from his face.

430EXII on camera and YN468 as optical slave in the B_box. Took only five minutes to set up.

Alright... stupid question of the night. (and yes I just finished reading most of the manual- I still don't get it.)

How can I Auto expose for one area of the picture, and Auto focus on an entirely different area?

The "default" way is to get exposure on an area by half-clicking the shutter button and then pressing the AE Lock "*" button, then focus on the other part (again half-pressing the shutter button).

An alternative is to move the focus to the * button using C.Fn-04. This way you can press the * button to focus and the shutter button to expose.

Or, of course, you can expose using Manual, like has been suggested.

Just a quick question - with the 1Ds mk1 and the 5Dc going for similar / identical prices used, which would you recommend for a first foray into delicious full-frame goodness?

You could use manual and set the shutter speed so that the liltle indicator shows correct exposure and now just focus where you want...

I normally Do shoot manual. However I LOVE OCF though I'm not fast enough or good enough to shoot 2yr olds (THEY ARE QUICK and do NOT sit still for long - mor at all lol) with OCF accurately. SO I'm thinking when shooting the little darlings that I might just grab a long Ettl cable and let my 5802 get it right faster than I can. Not sure I will ever even need to know my original question, but all that thinking got me wondering.. lol Thanks y'all for the help. I Love this thread!

I'd personally go with the 5Dc, but this thread may be a bit biased.

I would go with the 5Dc because it's newer (5D: November '05 - 1Ds mk1: August '02) and has (considerably) better high ISO performance. Also bigger LCD, if that matters to you. High ISO on this camera is magical (and by high I mean max of 1600).
