What about when the lighting conditions are so poor that you are forced to use ISO3200 with f2.2 and 1/320thsec?
For this one.. - kwun did mention (in another post, in another thread) that he'd be very berry interested in changing his current DSLR camera if there is a lighter body but still has the same set-up as his current DSLR. A crossover between a 5DMkII and 7D. - his current and only DSLR is the 1D MkIII. It'll be interesting to see if kwun will do another upgrade when the 1D MkIV comes out; maybe he's saving for it...let's see, it should be next yr, as Canon upgrades its 1D line every 3 yrs (1DMkII in 2004, 1DMkIII in 2007, 1DMkIV in 2010??)..
here is a better comparison: Canon 18-55/3.5-5.6 IS size: 68.5x70mm weight: 200g $175 Lumix G Vario 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH OIS size: 60x60mm weight: 195g cost: unknown. practically the same angle of view, same aperture, but not significantly smaller.
I was thinking.. ..maybe you could trade in or sell your 1DMk3 to get your new camera (whatever that would be)..
Oops, my bad.. I just got into this so beg your pardon. Thanks for highlighting. That's no fun anymore since it'll be Canon 1D again... No, no, but speculation is free
It seems like we are talking differernt things. This is not a good comparison for mirrored vs mirrorless for 2 reasons: 1. The lens stretches longer than the wide-range. The effects of housing a mirror does not impact designs of longer lenses; 2. While the simpler designs is possible, the manufacturer may choose not to do it. If, however, the comparison is to disprove Olympus's claim about weight savings with 4/3 vs APS-C, I'm totally with you.
yikes.. well i guess I only can watch and see.. unfortunately my tree the same as Kwun.. no money grow on it or might try force my camera to take under and edit it.. though it will be heaps of noise
This guy adds even more poison. How to get 1/600th indoors? Can only use f2.0 with a camera that can do ISO6400:crying:
Ehh... that's not true. At the Singapore Open, I was always shooting between 1/600 - 1/1000 using just a 70-200 f/2.8 and ISO between 1600-3200. Nothing outside of that range at all. ps: I've got the pictures to prove it!
how many gyms have television lighting? last weekend i was shooting in the gym at f/1.6 1/400s iso6400. not much chance of getting to 1/600s or faster there. anyone want to sponsor me a f/1.0 lens?
^^To experience the f/1.0 lens..^^ ..you've gotta do what kwun did: jumped ship to the true side.. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1175557 (post #42)
^^The "true side" originated that lens aperture..^^ ..http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/s/data/50-85/s_50_095.html (an oldie but goodie) A used one costs even much cheaper than the one from Mr. T's fave camera brand; check out the sample pics also.. http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/789495
Maybe you can try for one of these : Lieca Elcan 90mm f/1.0 !! Nothing else comes close at that range. Unless you're talking about the equally rare Nikkor Repro 85mm f/1.0 ! Or quite possibly the fastest ever, camera mountable lens : The Leitz 75mm f/0.85
