its a CRAP load more then what i have....but personally..I do not really want anything more I have lens wise. The only other lens I want is either the Canon 300 2.8IS or the Sigma 120-300 2.8..its a toss up between those to..I would have ZERO need to have that much gear

Oh, I agree, I have no need for that much stuff.... but it is impressive nonetheless, lol. If I could add a decent wide-angle, telephoto prime, and the MP-E I would be satisfied.

*puked in mouth a little

300 2.8 IS...mmmmmm

I gotta say something positive, black and red boxes look a little more modern than my gold 80s looking boxes

i kinda like the cow at upper left

It's been in my amazon wishlist for years now, along with the 100-400mm.... *sigh again*

unless you can find a 100-400 for $1000 or under..I just dont feel it is worth the price tag it carries...

last photo taken on the kit lens... i'll be shooting with L glass tomorrow!!!!

that is a great pic and gives great credit to the kit lens

yeah, i was actually kinda surprised at how well that turned out.

1/40 at f3.5 (wide open haha) with a flash bounced off the ceiling.

OMG IT'S COMING TODAYYYYYYYY


CAN'T WAIT

NICE

who cares lol

i was gonna say that, but i'm gonna say the same thing re: macro lens that he did

sit on it, jackass

OMG this thing is a freaking BRICK


i'm going to have to get the grip for my camera just so I can hold on to it while I'm shooting

well..its nickname is The Brick...man i couldnt imagine holding a XT with a 24-70 on it..do you have any room left for fingers

finger room isn't really the problem.. i can get my fingers between the body and the lens, but the camera digs in to the palm of my hand and it hurts after holding it for like a minute!


time to get the grip i think :-/

get some muscle wimp

dont over pay for the canon grip.
I use to have this on my XT years ago..its a 100% duplicate of the canon..built exactly the same just doesnt say canon on it.

grip has been the best accessory I bought for my setup to date

I always get a kick out of this...Everyone thinks the grip is a GREAT addition...Yet everyone complains about the size of the Pro bodies with the built in grip.

not me, I have big hands

I love the grip on my XT, so I'm sure I wouldn't mind a pro body..... teehee.

the only people that would actually say they don't want a pro body because of its size are people that are sour grapes about not being able to afford the pro body

its a dangerous game though...I could never go back to anything but a 1Series since I got my 1DII...So only options for upgrades for me is the new 1Series...but it feels SOOOO good in hand

its certainly not that great for hiking and carrying through woods, etc, but as long as you're not a big puss you should be fine

the body is only 3lbs..if someone cant carry that then they should go find a weight...even with my 100-400 its only 6lb total..its not heavy at all

there you have it

we have conclusively proven that there is no reasonable excuse for not having a pro body

Lack of money.

unreasonable

i'll let you expain that to my wife

she is unreasonable

what is that you say?

you pissed off the wife!!

OH SNAP

yay lens that is 3x the size of my camera

great choice in lens. i played with that in the canon show room here in hong kong (they have every possible lens canon produced in the show room that you can try, along with all the newest bodies).

the focus on that thing is lightning fast!!!

i think people say the grip is a great addition is because it transform the camera to a pro series body like state without the price tag.

i personally would pay for the pro bodies rather than the grip. the look and feel is completely different

smallest camera ever

05, your camera is blocking Simon Cowel's face in that picture

SIZE CONTEST

i'm unimpressed until i see the 1200mm

what's the filter size on that andy?

that thing is a HUGE waste of money..its IQ isnt even that good and a 600 f4 with a 2x teleconverter on it blows it away..and a 1/10 of the price...its not even that big compared to the Sigma 200-500 f2.8 zoom


77mm same as almost all the Canon L zooms..I think the 16-35 is the only one that is not 77mm

i just like it cause it sounds impressive
