Haha... Seems like I very willingly poison myself...

That said, any complaints about the weight bro? If I pair it with my zeiss 35/1.4, will be close to 2KG liao!

You ask me about weight ah.. you wait ah.. I tell you, I walk around Orchard Road with 5D2 + BG-E6 (with 2 batteries) + 70-300L as staple.. so.. maybe you can ask someone else :bsmilie:

To me, DSLR system is never something that is light.. if want very light, go mirrorless or compact! :bsmilie:

 

[Far far away]

Yes it is true. Extreme Pro 90mb/s 16GB SD is the same as normal SanDisk CF 16GB 30mb/s

I think flash memory has always been an expensive memory storage.. bro go see what's the cos for Extreme Pro 64GB 90mb/s CF card.. close to 1K!!!

Hmmm... Another question. Must the two cards inside the 5Diii be of the same speed? I use a Extreme Pro (90mb/sec) CF card in my 5D ii. However the Extreme Pro SD card is only 45Mb/ sec right? Hmmm...

Oic. My mistake..

 

[esoeij]

Oic. My mistake..

Not really lar, Sandisk got both 45mb/s and 95mb/s and both appear to be called Extreme Pro :bsmilie:

same thinking here, but I think I will change to 1 card RAW 1 card JPEG.. just in case I need that picture to be churned out quickly or I just want to do some quick PP in CS5.

Digging ever so slightly into my savings is kinda doable but also against my principles.

Haha, I better sleep! :bsmilie:

Mr Muscle...... street set up is POW a lot of people already!!! How old are you??? 50++???

Maybe don't add batt grip will helps... :think:

 

[Halfmoon]

Wah lao bro... I need to strike TOTO before I even dare to dream of the two together loh...

It is ok.. I have been religiously visiting and buying Toto..... and that's why still on 7D..... :bsmilie:

 

[Halfmoon]

hmm, maybe renting the lens is not a bad idea haha.

It is a bad idea....

Cos after returning the lens.... he will have withdrawal syndrome... and only buying the lens can cure him...

So might as well go direct route and buy, and save the money for renting and put it into payment??? :think:
