tlc Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 That one looks good too, I noticed the 70 - 200 is an L lens and the one you linked to isn't. Is there something different about L lenses?

Yes it was me. It has alot of settings and options within those settings that can be very daunting. It's a whole lot of camera and can take a bit of getting used to. It takes some comittment to learn, it's not necessarily one you can just turn on and start snapping away, depending on what you want to photograph.

tlc Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 I've downloaded 7d for dummies, 7d from snap shots to great shots and 7d digital field guide, so I have some reading to do. :laugh: I got a couple of sample books from Amazon as well canon 7d experience and best of 7d tips and tutorials. So they should keep me going for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Normally I wouldn't have mentioned it but I think maybe Rubiton uses or used it and she does racehorse photography, I think it's her business, but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tess32 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The Guy at HN rang me today with the price of the non IS version and it was just under $1000 with the IS version being $1199 so if I can I might get the IS version. He also said to me he thinks the 7D will come down a bit more in price in the next couple of months! good for me. M&Dm with your 70 - 200 can you fit a filter right on or do you need an adapter? It's a 67mm yea? Now that's one lens that is alot cheaper if you were to buy grey market and still might be worth considering, DWI has it for $702 or maybe even this one http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/product.asp?idProduct=726 which would give you more reach. I see at the top of their page they are saying they offer a legitimate manufacturers warranty, I've never seen that before and am not 100% what they mean as they're grey market sellers as far as I know. The lens you've linked to might have more reach but I would think the quality would be similar to a kit lens, based on the variable aperture and price (considering it has a full 100mm extra focal length on the 70-200mm but costs a lot less). I don't think I would personally consider it if the 70-200mm f4 is financially viable. I used it for years and did most of my zoo shots and dog shots with it and it is much better than a kit lens. I think the price has dropped because there is now an L version in the same focal range, but overall it was a great lens. I have the 70-200 F4 and I do think the quality is better - better contrast and of course it doesn't have a variable aperture, but I wouldn't say I could pick the quality difference each time at all, and the extra 100mm is very very handy.

tlc Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks for the input Tess, I really appreciate it. It may be a cheaper option depending on the financials at the time of purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Miss LeiLani Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 TLC - had to ask - what breed is your cat? We got my cat from the RSCPA and she looks like yours, althuogh they called her a domestic short hair (which she is def not! lol) And I often wonder what breed she might be, I think she is a bit of everything lol. Great photos too! I have just purchased the nikon d7000 (upgrading from d3000) although I have to wait till next month as its my 30th bday present! Its torture!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
