    The 7D and 5D mkii are the two absolute bargain camera bodies that are still completely capable at a pro level even today. Good video too :)

    Matey, loved that to be fair. The concept, the video, everything. That bokeh and separation at 5.6 (which is more like 11 on a crop sensor) is outstanding when at that almost 500mm focal length. I’m super tempted to do something similar sir…..heads off to eBay.

      It was good fun but the lens isn’t all that great. I think I’m going to save and buy one of the big boy Canon lenses later in the year.

      It's not 500mm - it's simply cropped 300mm!!!!

    • @IanMacdonald02
      @IanMacdonald02 2 года назад +2

      @@migranthawker2952 yeah I get that, but it’s 300mm cropped to roughly the equivalent of 500mm, must not have been clear. Also, like I said it’s 5,6 lens, with on the Crop sensor that’s more like F11, still looks like a good bokeh and separation that’s the point. Cheers

    I had a 7D coming which I got for $190 (I live abroad at the moment), but Dominican customs have taken a shine to it, so I doubt I'll ever see it and I'll be stuck with my T2i for quite a while to come yet. I was itching to try it after watching your videos. Keep them coming, mate :)

    • @ChrisBaitsonPhoto
      @ChrisBaitsonPhoto  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for commenting Carl. Hope you get your camera through - that sounds like a rough deal over there. T2i that’s the 550D over here isn’t it? That’s not a bad camera to be fair. The little rebel cameras are underrated in my opinion.

    Hi Chris love all your videos about the 1D Mark III. I want to buy one, think it’s a pretty good camera for the price, off MPB UK. I also have about 180-200GBP to spend on lens(es). I am looking at the Tamron EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD. Only thing with this is it would take up my whole lens budget and as I also enjoy landscape and street photography as well as bird, I’m wondering if you’d recommend me this or to get something like the Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM or equivalent AND a cheaper telephoto. Any thoughts?

    • @leoking2232
      @leoking2232 3 месяца назад

      I’ve also seen you use a tele lens quite often for landscapes? I have done this with my current camera but I’m not sure if it would be too limiting for landscape and street. Like to go hiking too. Just not sure what to do with the small budget I have…

      For this kind of thing I throw it in aperture mode, shoot wide open and use auto ISO or whatever gets me closest to 1/1000th sec.

    Sigma DG 70-300 has a very unreliable autofocus drive. It is better to choose a different lens.

    Something else to consider is the EF 80-200mm F/2.8 L
    A cracking lens for the money.

    have 760D mostly combined with Canon EF 70-300 IS2 USM F4-5,6.. i just cannot reach that crispiness in photos.. just as seen in your video. Iwill have o give a goo cleaning of the camera, but i doubt it will help.. Or am i just doing something wrong that i still have that haziness?

    • @ChrisBaitsonPhoto
      @ChrisBaitsonPhoto  Год назад +2

      Check your shutter speed. Make sure you’re at or double your shutter speed. So 300mm 1/400th as a minimum. Hope this helps.
