<p>I'm expecting to have a baby sometime in Feb 2011. So perhaps like all new fathers I want to be able to shoot video. I don't own a video camera. I realize with any canon video slr setup I will need some sort of external mic.<br>

So I am faced with a certain conundrum:<br>

Sell my 50d in hopes of getting enough money to put towards a 7d.<br>

Buy a t2i and use it primarily as a video camera.<br>

Buy some yet to be determined 1080p camcorder for ~$1000.</p>

<p>In general I prefer to only carry one device with me.</p>

<p>What should I do? What would you do? I'm not even sure what kind of resale value I could expect on the 50d.</p>

<p>Is the "hassle" of shipping worth $9000 to you? Because that is how much money you are throwing away by buying from your local store. Their stuff is remarkably overpriced. Just compare prices with b&h or adorama! Everything will still have the same Canon warranty! You can still buy an extended warranty if you want it.</p>

<p>This may sound trollish, but quite honestly you would be a fool to waste that much money. Even at 20k it is such a waste.</p>

<p>In addition to contacting the BBB, I would leave them a negative review on every online listing of their company.</p>

<p>google, etc.</p>

<p>Likely shutter failure.</p>

<p>Buy a cheap film slr on craigslist / ebay / keh.</p>

<p>Sounds like a personal problem.</p>

<p>I find that your images are too big especially for most laptops.</p>

<p>Remember a laptops vertical screen resolution is only about 1080pixels, account for a task bar and browser window that really only leaves you with a usable screen area about 900 pixels.</p>

<p>Scrolling to see an entire image is never fun.</p>

<p>uninstall lightroom then reinstall it.</p>

<p>5d2.</p>

<p>It is my primary lens on my 50d.</p>

<p>I also have a 50 1.8 and 70-200f4l</p>

<p>The 40d, like my 50d, is fully capable of producing outstanding landscape images. I have a 24x36 print that looks perfect that I did with my 50d and 10-22.<br /> Is the 5d a better camera than the 40d? Yes, but it isn't a better camera for landscapes if you are losing your ~16-28mm coverage that your 10-22 provided if you make the move.</p>

<p>I shoot all of my landscapes at iso 100 at f7.1, with a tripod if necessary.</p>

<p>It works fine in firefox, but not in internet explorer.</p>

<p>Considering that IE has by far the largest market share, I would reconsider your design.</p>

<p>Out of the canon L zooms only one really needs an IS update and that is the 100-400.</p>

<p>I recently sold my like new Elan 7n for a $100 on craigslist.</p>

<p>Originally I asked $125, but had no takers.</p>

<p>I had no issues with my Elan 7n.</p>

<p>Arash, do you care to back up your statement? Or are you just making a rash decision not based in fact?</p>

<p>I would shoot for the 500d. More mp and video and a better lcd screen.<br>

The 450d has less mp, no video, and less iso capability.</p>

<p>It may sound silly to some, but my efs 10-22 is my general purpose lens.</p>

<p>Slowing down FPS is something you can do in post processing.</p>

<p>Why would you want to slow fps in the camera?</p>

<p>Version 11 is my fav.</p>

<p>If you do go double sided, the black space on the back is useless from a functional point of view and the grey will be difficult to write on.</p>

<p>The 5d should have a slow burst, but no shutter lag.</p>

<p>The 5d is not canon's end all full frame camera. For that you would have to look at the now aged 1Ds MarkIII, it only costs ~6 times your 50d.</p>

<p>How do you judge worth of a book before it is available?</p>

<p>This would have been better to post in september when the book is available.</p>

<p>I own Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 2.3, I <strong>rarely</strong> use CS3. I use CS3 for stitching photos and HDR, everything else I do in lightroom which is 99% of my photo work.</p>

<p>Lightroom is intuitive and easy to use. Lightroom is worth more than $300 to me.<br /> Just remember to shoot raw so you have more options available to you to fine tune your image.</p>

<p>If a retailer has a price that is 10% or more less than any of the above (B&H, Adorama, and Amazon) it is likely a scam. Still follow Henry Posner's advice and check out resellerratings.com for any retailer he considers buying from.</p>

<p>I would practice more with the 5dII. From my perspective, it would be a downgrade for you trade for a 1DIII.</p>

<p>Loss of mp, loss of video, loss of full frame.</p>

<p>My granddad bought this slide scanner http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/430671-REG/Pacific_Image_PS3650_PowerSlide_3650_3600dpi_Automated_.html and a 100 slide cart. It works really well and really the only way to do it yourself if you have 1000's of slides.</p>

<p>Here are a couple of mine.</p>
