Thanks, can you post a picture of yours? I want to see some of these other gold and yellow acans!

Yurp it's a site just like this one just for photo people, they are all bussiness related so they dont play games Photo gear sells like hot cakes and if its 20% off retail it sells like a flame thrower on here for 150 shipped.

Yea thats how fast a 7D would sell for at 20% off retail. It is pretty insain how fast thigns sell at just a few hundred off retail. Also there is no annual release of lenses which keeps prices up. Maybe once every ten years if your luckey they "Update" a lense and just call it a MKII or MKII.

Ya...the finally updated the Canon 70-200 lens!

Yurp took only over ten year, that piece was used by the best for longer then ive been alive. They just updates the 85mm 1.2 after 15 or 17 years. That was two years ago i think. Some body's are updated more ofter, I have the Canon 1ds mkIII and they update it every few yours but they update it weird like this

Canon 1D MKIIII (non full frame)
Then in a few years
Canon 1DS MkIIII (full frame)
then a few years
Few year 1D MK5 (non full frame)

Unlike cars where a new one comes out and they push the value down each year a lense can be brought into the hobby for 1000 a year latter sell 900 quick and then 2+years later finaly sell for 800-850 but they never normaly drop more then 20% untill the new MKII version comes out which takes YEARS apon years .

7d

what neat focus feature are you talking about on the 7d?
I have one but haven't played with it enough since I am waiting to buy the macro lense which is another 1000.00 my canon 30D takes pics just as good at least it seems to I like the video the 7D puts out that is nice and another reason I bought it.

Yea, I can handle some of the blue,but not all. I have the white balance set,but the picture you see are most of the time the best you can get with this particular camera...

I wanted a t2i originally,but i really really like the 7d,especially the neat focus feature it has, and i know the 7d is almost double the cost of the t2i,but if i got the t2i and then wanted the 7d it would cost me more in the end...So im shooting for the 7d.

He is refering to the 19(I belive) point focusing system,instead of the regular 9 that most of the cameras have.

Sweet looking Acan, I wonder if the gold one's aren't imported as much because the importers think the more colorful types are more desirable.

I know that this is true for clams.
