3rd April 2013

The day has arrived....

Months of deliberation, many searches down the back of the sofa for spare change, should I... shouldn't I?

I did... here's my new baby... a Canon 5D Mark 3... battery is on charge!
Emma, I changed from a 7D which I thought was good. Wait till you see the results from this!!!!!

Boo
Have lots of fun with your new toy
April 3rd, 2013  
Oh wow, I am currently saving my pennies for the very same - enjoy your new toy! :)
April 3rd, 2013  
Woohoo! WOW! I am reeeallly jealous too. Read that manual from cover to cover and then read it again as this is a real step up from your existing beastie.

@padlock @huvesaker Thank you... I'm a bit nervous! @danitech It is a stupid price but Canon are doing a cashback offer at the moment until the 31st of May in case you are tempted! @steampowered Oh dear... I'm really rubbish with manuals but in a way I think I prefer to read the manual rather than start using it for a bit! Nobody hold their breath waiting to see the camera model change on this project... it may be some time!

@emmadurnford I didn't say that ;o)) You have to get hands on as well as read the manual!

Congratulations I'm a little green with envy ;)
April 3rd, 2013  
ohhhhh lucky you !
Have fun.
April 3rd, 2013  
Oh......exciting. xx

Envy. YOu are now going to take even more superb photos. But as a Wellington Professional photographer whom I just took a course says - it doesn't matter what camera you have - its the 6 inches behind it that counts. I want the Nikon equivalent - the D 800.

Oh how exciting I love new cameras or lenses etc. etc. the list just goes on and on!! I have the Canon 5D mark 11 - what extra does the mark 3 give you I wonder. I shall be watching with interest!!

@serpantmedia @helixconcepts @nicolaeastwood @pamknowler @pam1 Thanks all, be patient with me while I figure out how it works! The manual is nearly an inch thick which gives you an idea of all the stuff I need to learn. @steampowered OK, I did put the battery in last night and took a photo of the Sky menu on the TV at 2000 ISO in low light - how sad am I? Quality was pretty good though!!

@emmadurnford Good for you! I believe that the high ISO performance on the 5D Mk III is spectacular.
April 4th, 2013  
@pam1 I should have said, despite the Nikon (joke!) your tutor was absolutely right! There is an acronym here that photographers use - ATGNI - 'All The Gear, No Idea'!! @pamknowler I'm upgrading from a Canon 50D so it is a big leap. I was planning on the 5D Mk2 but then Canon decided to bring out the Mk3!
