I know we have a few photogs on this forum. i sold all of my Nikon gear and switched to Canon, mainly due to the glass selection and quality. I have been eyeing the 7D ever since it came out and I bit the bullet and ordered some prime lenses, the camera and a 430EX II speedlite from B&H last week. well i knew it was coming in yesterday so I took a vacation day and awaited anxiously to see the brown truck drive to my house lol.
My new gear now is: Canon 7D, EF 50mm f/1.4, EF 85mm f/1.8, EF 135mm f/2 L and the 430EX II.
I am loving this camera so far!! I really haven;t had time to play with it much due to work and the newborn and all but I cannot wait until spring and summer gets here. Also for football of course. 8 FPS is going to come in handy and the HD video is a very fun and cool feature!
Video of my goofy ass unboxing it after it arrived lol. I couldn't resist http://www.vimeo.com/8226651 :lol:
These are actual HD videos taken from the DSLR.
The first one of the guitar is mainly just a low light test and manual focus test. I had to use stupid windows movie maker to render out my file from sony vegas pro 9 because I had a codec issue. Taken with the 50mm f/1.4 http://www.vimeo.com/8234102
The second video is from tonight after I got the codec issue worked out. It's of my 7 week old daughter Kensley and our pooch Kaysar. Taken with the 85mm f/1.8 http://www.vimeo.com/8254189
My wife had beeen bugging me ever sicne I sold my Nikon that she was wanting to get some birth announcement holiday cards made of our daughter to send out. I told her why in the hell would you want to do this AFTER I sell my camera. She mentioned she had her point and shoot still and we could do that and it would be fine. I told her no way I was going to send out some grainy full of noise crap picture and told her my new camera would be in soon enough.
Well I didn't think she was going to want to do it the night my camera came in. This camera is leaps and bounds advanced over my previous Nikon DSLRs. so the learning curve and being rusty was going to affect the outcome. But hell with it at least they would of been better than the point and shoot camera. So here are some shots I took last night testing out the camera for the first time and using the 430 EX II off the camera and bouncing it off the ceiling.
Taken with 135L and 430EX II flash.
These were taken with both the 85 f/1.8 and the 135L using the 430EX to bounce off the ceiling. My daughter Kensley is 7 weeks old yesterday.
I cried out laughing hard from this one :lol::lol::lol:....
And this was just playing around with off camera flash and the 50mm playing with real shallow DOF...
The weather needs to get better ASAP as i want to get out and play with the camera!!
