Christmas comes early for Perry

[bh4rnnr]

So my Grandpa decided that my Minolta Konica Maxxum 7d wasnt enough for me. This arrived in the mail yesterday, the second package showed up today

 

[Caribou Sandstorm]

Super cool! Nice Grandpa!

 

[Hulk]

Dude, that is a super primo camera! Congrats!

Your Minolta lenses won't work with Canon EOS will they? Are you going to sell the whole setup? (Not interested, just wondering).

No the Minolta lenses will not work. Not planning on selling the Minolta as A) it was a gift and B) It will be nice to have a back up (the Minolta still works like a champ)

 

[arthog]

does it have the video feature on it?

 

[RockRunner]

Very nice, if you need to borrow some lenses let me know.

 

[lars]

Have the same set up. WOrks awsome. enjoy

 

[Jacket]

Now that's a nice gift!

 

[MDH33]

Very cool, Perry. Look forward to seeing what you produce with it.

 

[Inukshuk]

Now you need a nicer truck to carry it in....

Any lenses?

Tom- you shoot Canon too? I got me a (now seemingly inferior) Xsi a few months ago.

Cool, thanks for the offer, maybe we can play around some at Moab

Very cool, Perry. Look forward to seeing what you produce with it.

Thanks, i'm getting excited about it, guess we need to plan a trip here soon (X-mas trip not going to heppen )

Any lenses?

The second box had a 18-135 (among other stuff). Figure i'll play with this one for a while and get to lear the camera before I start purchasing more lenses.

Going to be a fun year

 

[Uncle Ben]

Hmmmmmm not a lot of siping....might need chains in the snow!

Very nice! Both Granpa AND the camera!

 

[Cheeseman]

That camera and a press pass will get you everywhere. I have all Nikon stuff so can't help there.

Now on this one you will need to read the manual. I would also suggest getting a supplemental aftermarket manual as well. The users say things better than the manufacturer.

Happy shooting.

I do shoot Canon, I got a 20D when they just came out to replace 10D. I have several lenses, some that I may be selling. Also the body possibly, I really want to get the one that shoots HD video.

Congrats Perry, If you can save up for the L series. You will love the difference. If you want to go shooting sometime i can bring the lot for you to try out. 28-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 85 1.8, 17-40 4.0. I used a 35--135 for for my weddings way back when and when i got my first L lens you wont believe the sharpness and contrast difference. Canon ROCKS!

Man, that sure is a good list of lenses. Between you and Tom, I should be able to get a taste for what lenses I like

And I think the new Camera will be making a showing at the X-mas party tonight...

Hey Perry --

You can shoot broadcast quality video on your camera!

House Season Finale Shot Entirely on a Canon 5D Mark II

Here's a Canon 7D stills time lapse shot in Tokyo. It's worth the 2 minutes to watch. One of the coolest parts is at about 1:58 when the time lapse includes airplanes landing.

Doesn't seem to work with Firefox, but looks awesome in IE 8.

That 7D seems like it can do anything!
