Wow, that's a huge purchase. I'm glad we got another Canon guy on here.

Just a reminder...don't expect to be Ansel Adams because you got a shiny new white lens...lol The guy I bought my 17-40L from was a nice kid that liked to take photographs. He told me he bought the lens because it had a L series designation on it. He told me he expected everything he shot with the lens to magically be National Geographic quality photos. When everything he shot didn't turn out golden, he decided to sell the lens. The moral...be patient with your equipment until you learn its full capability.

I smell a photographic road trip in the near future...

Are you going to admit to what you purchased yet?

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #16 on:** January 14, 2008, 12:58:19 PM »

I'm not spilling the beans... Confidentiality, you know?

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #17 on:** January 15, 2008, 12:03:42 PM »

Did the package(s) come yet? I wonder what Bone's opinion on what you got is...?

boneaddict · « **Reply #18 on:** January 15, 2008, 12:07:47 PM »

I'm hoping he scored a new canon so I can get another opinion on it. I am very intrigued with the thought of my 400 mm lens fitting on it. That would be what about a 600mm. : ) I was seriously looking at the nikon line, but his new infor is very intrigueing. like I've said many times before I've always loved Canon.

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #19 on:** January 15, 2008, 12:30:57 PM »

Oh, I shoudln't be the one to spill the beans on it.

Your 400mm would be a 640mm

My opinion on it is it kicks ass. I haven't used any of the Nikon digitals though. I was watching the 'Travels with Art Wolf' show the other day and get this, he shoots a Canon! I'm seeing lots of 20d and 30d cameras for $500-600 over here on craigslist...

I have two 20D bodies and love them, FWIW

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #22 on:** January 15, 2008, 04:38:15 PM »

It changes. I use auto and then change it in raw afterwards. Make sure you get the plugin for Windows so that it can see your raw images. Oh, nice kitty.

Shawn

Slider · « **Reply #23 on:** January 15, 2008, 05:41:22 PM »

Shawn I can use the download (Microsoft RAW Image) on my PC because it's XP Pro but my Lap-Top is Vista Ultimate? Any Ideas?

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #24 on:** January 15, 2008, 05:54:05 PM »

Go to the canon website at the following address...

http://www.somewebsitethathasinformationaboutwhatcamerasliderboughtthatwedontwantbonetoknowabout.com

Select your Operating System or OS as Vista, then download the RAW 1.2 codec... That's all it takes.

Now you can see your raw images in your standard Windows folders and such.

He doesn't want to be embarrassed if he spent that much money and the Panny still takes better pics.

huntnphool · « **Reply #38 on:** January 16, 2008, 03:36:10 PM »

Very nice slider, which EF lens is that? Might I suggest a lens hood.

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #39 on:** January 16, 2008, 04:16:48 PM »

That's a 300mm f4L...

It has one built in, but it's not pulled out. Next to the long white sexy lens is a little 17-40mm f4L... L's just get me excited.

Shawn

Oh, i almost forgot...I think I see a 1.4x extender on there...

Slider · « **Reply #40 on:** January 16, 2008, 05:04:17 PM »

Thanks again for the Help Pope!!!

deerslyr · « **Reply #41 on:** January 16, 2008, 07:12:28 PM »

I have no idea what that is but it looks awesome!!!!

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #42 on:** January 16, 2008, 07:16:02 PM »

It's sort of like a Ferari. You don't need to know how fast it is, you just know it's fast enough and gets the job done...

sexy lens!

Antlershed · « **Reply #43 on:** January 16, 2008, 08:51:37 PM »

Very Nice. You are making me want a big zoom lens even more.

Hornseeker · « **Reply #44 on:** January 16, 2008, 08:53:08 PM »

Very cool.... JEALOUS! And I am deliberating and stressing over spending a few hundred bucks on a camera!!!! Aaaargh!

boneaddict · « **Reply #45 on:** January 17, 2008, 06:33:39 AM »

Thats awesome!

I have lens envy!

yajsab · « **Reply #47 on:** January 18, 2008, 02:53:54 PM »

I'm going to get the cheaper 70-200mm F4L for now so that I'm not drooling too much. With the 1.6X sensor I'll get 320mm.

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #48 on:** January 18, 2008, 03:38:40 PM »

It's about time we see some pictures from this new camera...

BTW - that 70-200 f4L is nice. I would like image stabilization on it but I know it doubles the price. A very nice mid range lens.
