Yeah but I was talking about video, that wasn't really clear, sorry.
Tempted to purchase a 7D on Craigslist for 500 dollars. I'd be upgrading from a T2i. I'd find it a huge upgrade for me because it shoots at 8FPS compared to my t2i that shoots at around 3FPS. Also, the amount of AF points is superior to my t2i as well. Being that I shoot a lot of action a lot, I think i'd find it helpful. Still not sure though. Also, i don't think i'd mind the crop sensor since I'm almost always cropping my action photos during PP. Watcha guys think? The price makes it seem too good to be true though. Perhaps a really high shutter count or something? Here's the link too : [url]http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/ele/3593123285.html[/url]

I'd say go for it, but look it over before making a final decision.
Hopefully picking up a 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS for cheap tomorrow.
Take some pictures while you're at it.
[QUOTE=The Salmon;39547157]Take some pictures while you're at it.[/QUOTE] Have been man just don't have the time to upload all of them.
All anyone ever needs is a 50 1.4 and a wide angle, imo.
To recap on my previous question, I've seen some stores selling a 650D + 18-135mm STM in a kit, for cheaper than a 600d and same objective (not in a kit though). Is the 650D better/worse/similar to the 600d?

I think you should go for the 650D if that's cheaper. It's autofocus also has got 9 crosstype af points instead of 1, which is much better.

[QUOTE=Roll_Program;39549767]All anyone ever needs is a 50 1.4 and a wide angle, imo.[/QUOTE] sometimes variable zoom is really just a necessity
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;39539409]Shallow depth of field has been popular since the invention of photography :v:[/QUOTE] It was a necessity back then because film was really slow.
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;39549767]All anyone ever needs is a 50 1.4 and a wide angle, imo.[/QUOTE] Both useful, but you should never stop looking. Never stop trying new lenses. There are a lot of magnificent pieces of machinery out there, full of opportunities.

it's either a fat-finger error in the pricing or all of the filters are fake and bad

[QUOTE=Raygen;39553910]Be careful, most adapters are complete shit.[/QUOTE] If they're legit Cokin filters and adaptors, they'll be pretty decent. But at that price (seemingly 20 times less than the RRP of those items), I doubt they're real Cokin.
The Canon 50mm 1.4 feels so weird...like the focus ring build quality doesn't feel solid at all. Bought one used so maybe that's why. Also the auto-focus gets stuck sometimes and I have to hold the ring for it to properly work... Anyone else ever have similar problems?

Would a Sigma [url=http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-70-300mm-4-5-6-Telephoto-Cameras/dp/B000AM7CJ0/ref=pd_cp_p_0]70-300mm[/url] be a good investment for $90?

I suggest you buy that as it makes chromatic abberations undetectable even at 300mm
I don't believe it's a true apochromatic construction, but its a pretty good lens and CA's are well controlled.
