Thought one of these might be useful, especially when there's a good deal on compact flash cards. Lousy 5D3 has a shit SD card slot...

EDIT: Dammit, GoPros for $199 is over at NCIX. Nevermind.

If anyone wants a Samyang 35mm f1.4 (manual focus only), I'm getting one for $480 so if anyone wants one, I can see if I can get a second.

i thought about getting that lens but decided to shoot for a Zeiss instead. why not if you're going to shoot MF?

Not sure if this is actually a good deal or not but it looks like the Kamerar stuff is on sale right now. That Slider Dolly SD-1 looks pretty sick especially since its only 130 bones right now.

Whether you benefit from the faster card will depend mainly on your camera and the type of shooting you do. If you shoot action and you camera will do high FPS, or if you're doing HD video, then you'll definitely see a benefit from the faster cards.

[Ronin]

Nikon mirrorless is terrible.

[LiquidTurbo]

because....? Don't tell me you're writing it off purely based on specs. If you've handled the camera, then that's a different story. For many people it's probably good enough for a lot of folk, especially at that price point.

[Ronin]

I initially wanted one because I thought the price was decent and maybe an adapter would give me an excuse to buy old Nikon glass or something. I wanted a mirrorless camera and at the time, Canon hadn't announced the M and didn't look like they were going to so I looked at the Nikons, thinking that maybe since Nikon were the other real industry leaders in photography, maybe they could do it better than Panasonic, Olympus, whatever.

Every site I read reviews on hates these cameras. I sort of like the looks...I wanted a discrete mirrorless, not one that looks like a spaceship like Sony but after seeing the samples and reading opinions, universally people say that if you want more than a point and shoot, you don't want one of these.

Plus I shoot a lot of food in restaurants that don't have particularly good lighting and this thing is pretty awful at high ISO.

$349 isn't great. Panasonic, Olympus, Sony, etc all have a jump on Nikon and Canon when it comes to mirrorless and you can easily find deals in the $350 price range on cameras from any of those makers, all of which are just better. I'm waiting for the next Canon mirrorless announcement before I make a purchase but I'd have no problem buying Panasonic right now. You can find those in the $350 range and they have a far more established system than Nikon.

[!MiKrofT]

I was debating this too just recently. Sony or Nikon as an alternative to my DSLR. Decided with Sony because the sensor on the 5N is just so good.

[Nismo200SX]

Only reason I would buy a V1 is because for the price you can't really beat it's auto focus. It's super fast and you can get 15fps for 40 shots with autofocus and 60fps when locked focus.

I think its the Soccer Mom's dream camera. If you've got kids running around I'd say this is the one that won't miss a shot with max shutter of 1/16000 it better not miss. Lol.

It's a half serious reply but seriously if it was cheaper I'd really want one. But really looking for a cheap 5N body and 16mm 2.8

^i've been reading up on sterlingtek batts and there's plenty of "don't buy it" reviews, so i'm hesitating on getting them

[Ronin]

Well, scratch that...16GB 400x Lexars would be $69 and that's about as low as they can go.

I read good things about Sterlingtek. Most people on photo forums have high praise since they're chipped so they have the info that regular LP-E6's would have. However, they are $27 each rather than $10 like eBay batteries and many people say you might as well buy genuine ones for $60.

I'll probably get a couple. Two STK for the price of one Canon seems like a good deal.

CF cards are inherently more costly to produce and less demand as compared to SD cards. One of the reasons CF cards are more costly to produce is because they have the controller chip in card; SD cards do not have that built in.

Though whether or not it should be 5 times more, I certainly agree that shouldn't be the case. Just markup there.

I think that technically speaking, you won't get $800 exemption on the camera. If you go over the limit, you will have to pay tax on everything.

Not sure how much you'll actually get taxed though.

If you meet the $800 exemption, you pay taxes on the remaining value of the goods if youve gone over.

EDIT: Hmmm, apparently they're not very good...slower than the 600x cards.

Was thinking of buying some Transcend 32GB 400x cards. They're only $40.

Unbelievable deal on the D600. Kit + extra card, bag, battery for price of body alone.

Transcend cards are very very good for the price. Warranty is amazing compared with Lexar + Sandisk. I use the 16GB and 32GB 400x and they work awesome.

if you buy any lexar from adorama you get $20.00 off on lexar usb3.0 CF/SD card reader + 2% cash back credit

[Ronin]

I thought about it but then I can't imagine the Lexar reader being THAT much faster than my cheap Kingston USB 3.0 reader.

Hmm anyone got a link for the Transcend? Thinking of getting one for my new 7D that's coming.

Dang you beat me to it! I just got an email from Broadway :p

I'd make the move if it didn't mean I'd have to sell my 70-200 2.8II IS. Not only do I find it a hassle to sell something so expensive, but I love that lens to death :okay:

I'm not too knowledgeable about Canons but to me the best deal looks like the T3 with 18-55mm and 75-300mm

[kayceeee]

would the t3 be a lot different than the t4i?

[ddr]

imo, i'd get a d7000 so ur'd be set for a long time.

but out of the 3 choices, i'd get the t4i. think of the 55-250 as $150 discount as that was how much it was during the amazon sale. the 75-300 is not the greatest. t4i at least has a recycled sensor from the t3i and t2i. i think the t3 comes from the XS.

I'm told the 800x cards are actually slower than the 600x cards...that Lexar released them as a budget alternative to the stupid expensive 1000x cards.

Dunno, I just bought the Transcend 32GB cards for $40. You can get the 800x cards in a 2-pack for $90 regularly.

[Hondaracer]

Kaycee, the touch screen the T4i has is really nice and was a feature that was kind of on the back burner when I was debating the 3 or 4 but now that I've used it, it's pretty awsome and worth getting the t4i I think, and I'm not sure how your GF is with technical stuff but I think the touchscreen would really help somone who isn't all that tech savy, or may become frustrated with using the dial all the time
Posted via RS Mobile

[kayceeee]

thanks! i think i'l go with the t4i as well, cuz she can always get new/better lens down the road, but more of a waste keep changing bodies.

btw anyone know how the line ups will be for broadway camera? first time going to a dedicated camera store.

In the event that you guys find a good Boxing Day deal and you can't get there or they're out of stock, let me know...I might be able to hook you up if you have trouble.

You're basically paying face value for all the stuff in the FS/Bestbuy bundle. The 55-250 is around $200ish while the tripod and filter and cheapo stuffs. For me I'd rather go for the broadway camera one and save the money for a better lens down the road.

I'm the same way. I've always thought it was funny that I've got no problem with spending a few thousand on cameras and lenses or even bags but I'm super cheap when it comes to tripods. I use a $90 Velbon C-600.

One day I'll buy that Manfrotto.

All comes down to your needs, I suppose... if you're only ever shooting candids at family parties, a 1Ds-III with L glass is sort of overkill... if you're not shooting star trails or doing commercial macro photography or something else that requires a super-steady camera, there's probably no need to drop more than $100 on a 'pod.

The Manny combo is a nice setup - quick-release ball head, sturdy yet light 'pod. And you save a bit over buying them separately.

[Ronin]

Just picked up my Transcend 400x 32GB card ($40 from B&H).

Says 90x read, 60x write on the box.

Ran it with my Kingston USB 3.0 card reader and it tested as 39-40MB/s write and 106-109MB/s read.

As a comparison, the 400x Lexar 16GB I've been using in my 5D Mark III pretty much every day for 8 months says 35-37MB/s write and 75-78MB/s read in the same test. I've never had a problem using it in any situation recording 1080p video. I also use the slightly slower quiet burst mode and never really more than 2-3 frames.

[Mashimaro]

^nice pick up on the 50mm 1.8!

that's a nice looking camera bag as well!

Went to Broadway camera today to buy a tripod bag. was only a few bucks off but i've been wanting one for a while.

Was shocked to see the 5D3 body down to $2999 already (paid $3500 for mine a few months back, ouch!).

Crazy deal on the D600 though. 6D was not really cheap for what it was. and lenses are still pretty painful as i was looking at the Canon 24-70 2.8 II (on sale for $2300).

Played with the Fuji XE1. impressive camera. even at ISO 6400! drooled over the Leica Monochrome and M-E :(

Great for vacationing where you don't want to lug an SLR around. One thing I do look forward to is the new autofocus and the extra wheel.

[!MiKrofT]

Are you sure they'll adjust boxing day sales?
I'll bitch at them if they can't match their own price. Cause that would be just too retarded on their own part.

[skyxx]

If you read the fine print it says they wont price match boxing day/week sales. But since it's their own, they might? haha

[!MiKrofT]

Yeah I just took that as matching competitors boxing day/week prices. We'll see tomorrow.

[Ronin]

Are you sure they'll adjust boxing day sales?

Mikroft, let me know if you have any problems with that. That would be stupid if they didn't match.

[!MiKrofT]

Price match done. No questions asked.

You got a smoking deal. Especially with the $100 gift card you have. If you sold this camera next year around September time you'll get it for more than you paid for! Heck sell the kit lens since I'm pretty sure you have it already. The camera is basically a "give away". :fullofwin:

[!MiKrofT]

Lol. I do. I have a complete Nex 5N Kit in the box that I need to sell now. Shame that it's just a few months old.

[skyxx]

By the way, can you test out the image quality of NEX-5R's kit lens with the NEX-5N's. I know the 18-55mm improved when Sony released the 5N. Just wanted to see if they improved the lens further.

[pizzaMR2]

Looks like the Canon 50mm f1.8 is $89.99 at FS/BB til Jan. 3rd.

picked one up the other day!

They should be very similar if not the same. It's the new 16-50mm power zoom that they worked on for this year.

[Ronin]

I'm sold on these Transcend cards. 32GB for $40 is a good deal. Write is fast enough for normal use (~30-35MB/s) but read speed is smokin'! 110MB/s on my cheapo Kingston USB 3.0 reader. Transfered 8GB of video in less than a minute.

In comparison, my Patriot Class 10 EP Series 32GB SD plugged into the MBP SD card slot has taken about 8 minutes to transfer 22GB.

[!MiKrofT]

^awesome. I just ordered one from Newegg to try it out. Should be here in a few days.

The $10 shipping keeps me from buying anything from NewEgg.

I need some big CF cards. I have $200 credit at Broadway Camera, but they're stupid expensive there.
Posted via RS Mobile

[Ronin]

$200 might buy you a single 32GB 600x card at Broadway after taxes. :lol

Save the credit for later or sell it and use it at B&H or Adorama. If you want to buy local, I can hook you up at London Drugs.

Is anyone looking for lighting equipment or a cheap, but solid tripod?

I might be picking up some stuff from a place in Richmond that sells OEM and China brand equipment. Don't let that scare you, though...it's the sort of higher quality shit that budget filmmakers like cheesycam and such talk about all the time. I have a product shot setup from them that I've used for 7-8 years now.

I couldn't find any place that was $40 shipped. Amazon was $49 free shipping so it worked out the same.

[Ronin]

Not in Canada. We get shafted here...US always has better prices, which is why I do almost all my shopping via Point Roberts.

[!MiKrofT]

I do that if there's a bigger benefit. For something so inexpensive I'll just ship it here.

[Ronin]

Meh, takes 15 minutes or less for me to get there and I get to gas up at US rates (save about 20c a liter) and buy American chocolate milk. And usually pick up more than one thing at once.

[Ronin]

The Manfrotto tripod mentioned earlier in this thread at Best Buy is back at $50. 10 in stock online at the moment.

That's pretty sweet. I would like a new tripod as my old manfrotto is super lame but I would like something for heavy equipment. Something that can easily hold a 300mm f/2.8

[Ronin]

Yeah, that tripod won't hold anything heavy.

[!MiKrofT]

I think it's rated for about 4.4lbs. Too lazy to look at the box.

I've bought stuff from this place. That is the ebay store for InspironPhoto. The ebay store is cheaper than the regular website on some items.

I've bought light stands, umbrella flash brackets, collapsable 5x7 double sided background, and 160LED video lights (which work quite well BTW) Actually dropped one already, while it was mounted on nex7 on manfrotto 562 video monopod. the only thing that broke was the removale plastic mount that connects the LED light to the hotshoe. replaceable, the Light still works and dimmer still works. so no complaints here.

a buddy bought the CFL video lights and they worked really well he said. I think Inspiron Photo sponsors some workshops around town.

Looks fantastic. I much prefer the old school look that Olympus has been going for lately compared to the wacky spaceship crap from Sony, which is really too bad because the NEX cameras have that awesome peaking feature.

I just bought a lightly used Panasonic GH2 that I'm gonna hack for video. In case anyone is looking for a 14mm f2.5, they're like $190 on eBay (compared to $350 in stores). No box...just lenses ripped out of GF3 and GF5 kits.

If anyone is interested, Woot now has the Panasonic G5 on sale for $399 with the kit 14-42mm lens. Great entry level dSLR, especially considering the price.

It's no GH2/GH3 for those interested in videography, but it still shoots great footage and stills.

I'm going to be buying these 1000x 64GB cards from a company called KomputerBay in a while. They're the recommended cards, bang for buck-wise, for 5D3 Magic Lantern RAW video.

They're QA failed Lexar 1000x cards, meaning there's a big variation in speed but the good ones are as good as the Lexar equivalent. They're only $100 so I'm going to order 5 and return the 3 slowest ones.

You'll have to get them from US Amazon if you want to save money, as always.

I don't remember the last thing I bought in Canada.

sounds dodgy. i'll pass. however, i did order one of these yesterday, with the TC kit:

Broadway Camera has a bunch of sales right now. 15% off all their tripods, and 20% off all their bags/cases - which makes them half acceptable for local stuff. Still probably wont' be as cheap as the states.

They have the Canon 50mm f1.8ii + Manfrotto MKc3-H01 Tripod kit, and RC-6 remote for $160 which is actually a pretty decent deal.

Oops I fixed my original post. I meant to say it's a no-brainer at 299 :)

[Ronin]

Holy shit, that's a good deal. Would've been a better deal than my $400 GH2 for a second video camera.

But I'm holding out for a X100s or OM-D as my compact system camera.

[kcl38]

Really considering picking the EOS M with the 22mm f/2 to replace my D3100 + 35mm f/1.8. I mostly shoot food photos and the form factor of a mirrorless system combined with the $300 price tag with a fast prime is looking really appealing

[m3thods]

Priced it out: $335 shipped to my door via BH with Purolator (taxes and fees in). But their EF/S adapter is sold out :(

On that note, FS was selling the adapter for 99. If only I saw it earlier :okay:

[kcl38]

I just ordered one too, going to pick it up at Pt. Roberts :thumbs:

[N.V.M.]

why the fuck don't they just sell the body!

[!MiKrofT]

EOS M is pretty good after the firmware update. I ordered 1 for my friend from Canon Online for $350 which included the camera, 18-55mm, and flash.

I woulda ordered one for myself but I already own a Nex 5R as my secondary camera.

[gars]

man... this price makes my X-E1 seem like it cost my left kidney to buy :(

Nice. Jumped on the EOS M as well. Would prefer smthn smaller with video for my vacation coming up. And I know my gfs rents were looking for smthn like this so maybe I shall show this to them too :considered:

Update: all 22mm models are backordered.

For the lazy, that's a Canon 600EX-RT for $420 from Vistek. PM at ME for a small discount off of their price ($470.00).

If you feel extra adventurous, wait until tomorrow to PM because the ME sale ends. Assuming they don't have another sale, you get 25% off a $180 difference (or 420-45 + tax = $420 for a flagship flashgun).
