Woot Hoot......It's here!!!!.....can you tell that I'm a giddy school boy? A little cloudy and overcast but I'll try to get some images up as soon as I figure the dang thing out.
Dammit, my local shop had the 5D3 before anyone else last time, now, no sign of my 7D2. Come on Canon, I have a state championship to shoot this weekend!!!

Now these are crappy images but here they are. I did not read the book so I was figuring it out on the fly. A lot of new buttons and menus. Went out from 12:30 to 1 on a overcast crappy day. I'm interested in the focusing capability of the camera. I was on a tripod with NO cable release ISO 640. In manual but I could not find the exposure meter in the view finder and there is none on on the top window so I shot by the seat of my pants and these are straight out of camera. I did reduce them in size a tad for the web and I did find the viewfinder meter, it is on the side of the viewfinder and it is tiny. I'm used to it being on the bottom. I was focusing thru dead tree branches and think it did a pretty good job considering I was lost with the directions.
Charles, looks like you're having a blast with the new toy, despite having what looks like a very bad light day. Happy for you.
You will find that when you roll that focus point down to just the one little dot in the finder, that it can really separate the chaff from the subject, but you need really steady hands. There's also a focus mode, Case 2, which ignores objects in front of the moving subject.

Again these were all by the seat of my pants but grain is grain and focusing is focusing. The files once again are straight out of camera. All were jpgs as I don't think a commercial converter other than the Canon one is out yet. I got the camera for sports and wildlife, I will not be using it in a steady manner for portraits.

Thanks, I'm one of those guys who don't read directions. .........and need to.
I shoot all my sports wide open. I meant using an aperture smaller than f/8 will cause excessive diffraction. You posted some shots at f/22, f/32, etc.

Here is a great article about what Jack was speaking about (I think). Makes total sense now. About half way down the page....aperture size vs pixel size.
Thanks again Jack.
by the way....this is waayyyyyy to deep for me, remember, I'm a musician and I only have to count to 4.
Jack, if I read the article correctly it is not the sensor size as the wave length of light passing thru the smaller aperture.
Haven't read the article yet, but I believe pixel size, not sensor size, is the big factor. Smaller pixels are less tolerant of diffraction. So when I said APS-C, I was speaking generally. Yeah, a 20D will be as tolerant of diffraction as a 5D2.
edit - ok, I read the article, it's good.

No LR raw support though. This is a JPG.

When Scott Kelby does his pro sports he is shooting at 2.8!! and now using the 7D MK II. They are pretty sharp.

yeah, why were they shot at f22 and f32
I went with shutter priority and just upped the ISO. I'll do it again at set apertures.
