Exactly. Too bad everyone can't afford both. I'm glad that I can.

^^^^^Nice. Perfect image for a color pop.

[khaye1]

thanks...i think it could use a little more saturation though

No where near good at cameras...this was a point and shoot from earlier. Something about the overhead lights makes me like the picture...that and I like garage pics anyway

^^^^More pics of the Vette, please.

I will take a few more for you tomorrow

Merge of two photos taken seconds apart. Both photos shot with my FZ18 at max zoom. It actually produces sharper images at max zoom than my new T1i with the 55-250mm lens.

Incredible shot this is one of the few things i miss about the crop body is the extra free zoom. just think, if you put a 2X converter on that lens with that body, you'd be shooting about 1600mm. Would make for some fantastic moon pictures.

Does it get out much? How does it run?

Love those old Vettes.

I've never driven it...damn classic car insurance...but it'll get up and go. It gets out enough...he doesn't drive it every weekend in nicer weather but the damn thing still starts up every time

what year/motor/transmission combination in that beast? I'm quite jealous.

Yeah, but on my 7D a 2x TC will not AF. This shot demanded AF.

It's interesting to know that if I took this same picture with the same lens on my 5D MkII and then cropped it to this size, there'd be almost the same number of pixels on the subject. The real advantage of the crop sensor is that the subject is larger in the viewfinder and easier to keep AF points locked on. With the 7D you get the advantage of 8-fps, which allowed me to pick this particular image out of four or five "keepers".

The only reason that I occasionally consider the 1D MkIV is that it'll do single-point AF with the 2x TC. That's a lot of extra money for that one feature, but it keeps me thinking. Maybe the 7D MkII will include that capacity. We'll see...

I think i'm going to have to look you up next time i'm in Colorado visiting my dad.... I have lots to learn from you.

And you're right, for the price of the 1D mkIV you can have 2 amazing cameras with 98% of the functionality of the 1, and still have some money left over.

Dave, what's with the highlight on the bottom right of your latest pic?

That's snow on a fence post.

[Chewy734]

Got it... did you use the fence posts to support your handheld shot?

Yeah, send me an email or pm when you're coming. We can shoot some and give my M3 a workout.
