chelle_k81 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Im currently tossing up between 60D and 7D.Just body, no kit.I have a budget and thinking of what lens I can get with each.I'm leaning towards 7D, especially with this Aussie dollar right now.

Kirislin Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 I caved and bought one today. Yaay!! :D You will notice such an enormous difference. Oh, and the file sizes are huge, better all get an external portable hard drive thingy to store you photos on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should I just looked up my file size for photos on this computer and it was 244GB. And that is just this computers worth of photos.

Kirislin Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 I shoot RAW and it just eats up space, not sure about jpeg only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagsalot Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yay more 7d owners. Maybe you can all give me some tips? I miss my 350D terribly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yay more 7d owners. Maybe you can all give me some tips? I miss my 350D terribly... did you sell your 350D, I sold my 400D too and I kinda wish I'd kept it. How long have you had the 7D and are you finding it hard, if so what problems are you having?

wagsalot Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Nah I still have it - couldn't bare to part with it! But, my hubby bought me the 7d for my birthday, as I really really wanted it, so Id feel terribly bad if he caught me using the 350d. I do really like the 7D, but I just find it alot harder to get a decent shot out of it. They aren't as sharp, and Im still having a bit of issue with the focus points. I've read a few books on the camera, and learnt alot, I guess its just going to come with time and patience. Its frustrating that my hubby can't just pick it up and use it either.

Kirislin Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 have you changed any of the custom functions? and do you do any sharpening afterwards, in post processing, because most agree you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the same thing. I was missing heaps of shots (out of focus) when I borrowed a 7D that I could easily get on a 50D. 6mths on and I have improved out of sight! Good luck- jealous!! I want my own one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juddabug Whippets Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) I love it. A couple of photos from the Zoo. Hi, I've been lurking for ages here but love the pic of Rani the tiger. What lens did you use as I know it's quite the distance from the bridge to where she's standing! Thanks.
