Then I got the 5D and a 5DMK2. I really like having the video option of the 5DMK2 and I love that camera....I hate when I have to shoot with the 5D (maybe not hate, but I really like the 5DMK2). That being said, I could care less what someone else uses. At the Foundation Conference, WPPI, and some of my friends here are always taking swipes at Canon users and saying things about focusing or how sharp their images are. I personally have no problems with either of those and I prefer the color/files from my camera. Now if someone tried to force me to use a Nikon, we'd have a problem...but I use what I like to use...other people have their own choices. I might have been the guy to joke about someone using a Nikon like the guy you mentioned in the pit, but could care less now a days. I;d rather talk about how we can make better photos. You should by a Sony camera and use it in the pit...see what kind of comments you get then ;) I have always used Canon because I had the original Canon Rebel 300D when I really started to love photography.

I have also been thinking about buying some gels to use when taking photos of DJs to get a different feel. I love the idea of using the OCF to light the crowd...and especially with the gel on. As soon as I pulled up this post I remembered that I needed to pick up a Manfrotto quick plate and OOOO...I can get some gels to play with. Too bad it just turned 5pm on a Saturday and Crick, Independent Photo Art Supply and Overland Park Photo Supply close at 5. #fail ;) Great post Brian.

My 24-70 also never seemed to focus on the 7D even after the second trip. Some other lenses worked great on it, though, especially the Tamron 70-200 2.8. I also later got a 17-55.

No complaints about their diligence or competence. What I ended up doing is sending them a CD with the camera of examples of the back and front focusing I was seeing. The first time I sent it in, they really didn't seem to fix anything, but the second time they got it right (although I still had issues with the 24-70 at the wide angle, but no other lens had a problem).

If so, was it hard to convince them something was wrong ? When you sent your camera into Canon did they make any changes? If so, was it hard to convince them something was wrong ?
