Shot a mixed arts gig last night - with a really interesting Q+A with rock photographer Ian Tilton. Found the AF mostly ok in very low light - though only really with the central focus point.

It was the talk of the AF that made the 5D debateable for me. I guess ill find out when I next go racin!
I went with the 5D because i realised i shoot more people than cars :shrug:
anyone up for a sale ? :cheeky:
I've had a reply from Willie
"I have passed the DVD to Felix, he should pass it on to you next.
Cheers
Willie"
i'll keep it for 2 days and its on to EVOTWO
I think people make out it is far worse than it actually is to be honest. Fair enough the 5D is designed to be best for portrait and landscapes, but that doesnt mean it can't hold its own in other areas. But just dont ask it to focus on a low contrast point in low light........
2 days???? you'll need longer than that to absorb all the content.. it's rivetting stuff

Her nose looks weird.
Tc4 do you mean does the AF start on a half press of the shutter button? Well yes as do most AF cameras, you can also configure another button to do the AF leaving AE lock on a half press, the camera, although older, is much more customisable than the 450d and has more external controls....
should I be worried or is a couple on 20second + exposures to be expected?
Bizarre, I was in Lightroom, zoomed in to clone out the hot pixels and they disappeared.
thanks Grum, we did several lighting set ups, pic 1 was my favourite, two strip boxes, one either side.Really nice low key shots alsos - lighting is great.
