Re: Give me some good reasons to.....

Re: Give me some good reasons to.....
get the 7D then.
 1) You wanna buy a cheap lens and can use with AS? or; 2) you wanna buy an expensive lens with built-in IS? |

Re: Give me some good reasons to.....
Hmm, most of my old pics is taken with ISO 400 B/W films. Don't think i need anti-shake with my kind of pics...I like the idea of the vertical grip tho...

Re: Give me some good reasons to.....
minolta 85mm f1.4 lens and 50mm f1.4 lens is lower cost compare to other brand.
The grip also of reasonable cost for 7D. AS come with the camera. No need to but AS in every lens. |

For me AS is important, I shoot wildlife. that can save a lot money for buying IS/VR lens.  |

Re: Give me some good reasons to.....
I've said it quite a few times before, but I'll say it again:
AS rocks. I'm totally sold on this feature. I think it's an ESSENTIAL feature. That, plus an ISO3200 rating would make the camera a lot more versatile at night.

Re: Give me some good reasons to.....
Hey, you can just take them out and compare mah Edit : IMO, stablizer (IS/VR/AS...) does expand the shooting opportunities with simple 'dragging' of shutter to a lower speed, or shooting in a tight spacewhere tripod is not possible. Last edited by deslim27; 26th August 2005 at 10:04 AM. |

Re: Give me some good reasons to.....
Guess....asking for oppinion in a web-forum actually makes decision again more difficult - thats what i feel. I believe you already have some thoughts in mind based on: - specs - handling - affordability - handling preferences(ergo) - etc... I bet you gonna get super mixed inputs here....since its in a Minolta forum...kekeke Okay now my inputs - not trying to help you to decide...though When 5 D comes, take CF card - shoot with both cams - make your choice... rgds, sulhan |

Re: Give me some good reasons to.....
focal length is 280mm not 420mm.
why is that not possible? i have taken photos at that kind of shutter speed at 300mm. Last edited by Drudkh; 26th August 2005 at 12:56 PM. |

Re: Give me some good reasons to.....
allow me to put in 5-cents comments. I bought 5D becos:
- the cheapest or one of the lowest-priced decent DSLR cams around - decent but LIMITED availability of lens around. A + for me as I do not wanna be influenced by the buy3 virus of the other brands. Saves me $$$. For my 0-skills level, I'm more than happy with KM's lenses. Hence, spend less $$$. - Lens cheaper than the other popular brands. - AS in cam compared to VR/IS lenses. This is a big + for me. Again, save $$$! |
