News For camera nerds only

[old.user4556]

On separate note, have you read some of the absolute bullshit in the comments sections of Petapixel and DPreview? I really think some people have something wrong with them.

What people don't know, they just make up. I've seen a lot of posts slagging off the specs and dates that Canonrumors are reporting; don't people understand it's called canonrumors for a reason?

 

[old.user4556]

Oh and, my favourite lately? Forumites acting like girls off 'my sweet 16' - "I HATE CANON, IM SWITCHING TO NIKON" before they've even announced anything.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Don't get me started on that. I know loads of people that sold or didn't buy their Dreamcasts because PS2 was "coming" and Sony "said it would be awesome."

Cunts.

 

[milou]

Their Dream-what-now?

*rage*

 

[old.user4556]

An example of said tards.

You'll see my comment somewhere down the bottom.

There were scads of them practically plotting nuclear war against Canon when they announced that the 1dx was "only" going to be 18mp. Muppets, the lot of 'em.

edit - I despise dpreview's default threaded view. I don't see the benefit of it at all.

Just waiting for my remotes now. The 550D doesn't do master/slave shit

 

[old.user4556]

7D has pseudo wireless, but I've been reading wild speculation that the 5D Mk3 will have fully integrated wireless triggers.

 

[caLLous]

It's about time, you can get the Canon ST-E2 transmitter to trigger wireless flashes but it only works via IR so is only useful if the flashes are in it's line of sight and relatively close. With proper wireless radio triggers (pocketwizards for example) you can do pretty much anything you like up to about 500m (ie pointlessly far).

 

[old.user4556]

If it ends up being true it'll take a chunk out of Cactus' / PW's business.

Wireless transmitters, I'm starting to feel a desire for this Mk3 .

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It could be a huge letdown....




(It won't be)

 

[caLLous]

Yeah Pocketwizard's (et al) days are numbered, it was only going to be so long before the big camera manufacturers starting phasing out IR and putting radio funcitonality in their flashes and their higher-end bodies.

Pocketwizards do work a fucking charm though and with full E-TTL functionality.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Somehow I think getting a new camera will mean that I have to learn a load of shit I don't understand currently. This is annoying.

 

[caLLous]

Perhaps you should aim for something more matched with your intellect? I saw this and thought of you... As a bonus there is VERY little to understand.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It's not hello kitty

 

[caLLous]

 

[TdC]

I can totally picture Wazz using that

 

[old.user4556]

Taking photos of himself in the mirror doing a 'duckface' and putting them on Facebook.

EH WAZ?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

BANG!

(y u no add me)

 

[old.user4556]

Facebook is for teens and bored house wives.

"Fanny McFanny - Wow, what an awesome life. ALL the washing done, ALL the dishes washed, kids in bed, living room hoovered, tampon changed, cheeky glass of wine in hand. My life is one epic dream. Life is so amazing. I love my kids. Did I mention how amazing life was. Do I look like i'm trying far too hard."

Yeah. Epic dream. Sure.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I wish I was both a teen and a bored housewife

 

[ECA]

Girls on facebook are a plague upon humanity.

It's IRL Coronation street/emmerdale.

 

[caLLous]

I don't have a problem keeping my bitches in line on facebook, I don't know what you're all doing wrong.

peaked too early did you Wazzbacon?

An update, including an invite and a large stage under construction

http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/02/heres-an-invite-for-march-2-2012/

Even in the face of this, the twots on DPReview are shouting "fake". Someone made a funny comment on the muffin on the invite, saying that it that's not a muffin, he's "switching to donuts". Ah yes, my sense of humour.

 

[Clown]

I just blinded myself. Fuck.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Yeah, those massive setups are clearly the work of fakery. Lulz.

 

[Deebs]

Facebook sucks cock, not used it since last Nov/Dec. Anyway the 3dmk3 looks lovely. Must hold off.

 

[caLLous]

All those massive stages are for a new Rebel apparently.
