ps november 3rd, Canon are making an announcement in Hollywood!
I hope its a mirrorless camera, but being the fact its in Hollywood they might be unveiling some competitor to the RED cameras.And there should be a RED competitor, I've been expecting a digital 4k resolution video camera for a while now. The GH2 can take 40 pics a second at 4mp, thats RED resolution, it just needs a big enough buffer + processor and cooling to sustain it for long periods of filming.
im a ranting machine tonight.

My Canon A80 first got the pink screen of death and just last week got the infamous E18 error. Great little camera but no longer serviceable and parts aren't worth it. I am looking at this model"PowerShot SX30"http://a.img-dpreview.com/n... to replace it. Anyone got advise on this model or a comparable model in the same price range?

I THOROUGHLY recommend the Sony Nex 5N
After researching the market I went for this.
Believe me, you WONT be dissapointed if you buy this camera.
I've been shooting for a few weeks and never fail to be amazed at what this camera is capable of and the light situations it can handle beautifully!My Dad has a Canon 5D MkII and knows his shit about photography and has been wowed by what i've shown him.
Next time i'm back at their house i'm going to challenge him to a shooting duel and see what the difference is.Lenses are large but they are light! and Sony have announced a map of new lenses for over the coming year.

my gf has the 5D, it weighs so much she can barely pick it up. I've got the GH2 with the driftwood hack that is incredible. the hack is easy, just copy to the sd card and reboot and its done. now i really can pust my 14mm pancake in low light. here is a video sample of the hack, it's pretty unbelievable.
- can you zoom in and out while recording video?74LEO
- what exactly does the hack do?74LEO
- yes, during recording. also will track auto focus. the hack allows you to control settings for light, speed etcrobotron3k
- 5D is nice but well out of my price range is it the eos technology that makes it more than the sx30?74LEO
- there are many varieties of hack, some push to area of red camera, you can also defaut back to org settings.robotron3k
- great thanks!74LEO

invest in a decent lens.
i thought the lenses i had were doing a good job, then i saved up and got a 24-70 L..then i realized the difference..

When I did this for my portfolio, I got the best results using a scanner. And I hated that because I was a photo buff at the time. I really wanted photos to be the way to go.

I would try stretch for a proper 1:1 macro. Something like the canon 60mm f2.8 or nikon eqivalent.
You want the least amount of barrel distortion and sharpest image possible at close distances.
I used to use my 70-200 for larger items and 50mm for smaller stuff but recently bought a canon 100mm and its made such a difference.
