My GF is on her way up to Aviemore today, she has organised a school reunion up there. I've not been for a couple of years but have always enjoyed shooting up there. so much scenery and a complete opposite to what i normally shoot.
Talking of which, its London Gay pride tomorrow so ill be going along to hopefully get some "interesting" shots. It was quite a laugh last year with my 60D, im hoping for better tomorrow with the 5D.
Anyone else going?
i went two years ago . it was fun
Ah the Mach Loop. On my to do list in aug/sept.
Yeah. Out of all the London parades i think this one is the most fun and interesting.
I normally have to go off to gigs on a Sat afternoon, but this weekend im going to try and spend as much time as i can there.
Same! Been on the list for too long!
I think we need to organise a trip then! Leave the 1DMKIV at home though... You won't need it.
I'd be right up for that. If your serious and Drew fancies going then lets throw a few dates around.
My biggest gripe with the 5D3 is the massive menu and the way the image magnify is operated. As a pixel peeper it's so frustrating!
The 5D2 had the perfect menu system in my opinion. I wish we could choose to hide some tabs.
Sounds good to me... I won't be going before August though 'cos I've got too much on in July (including the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford).
Mondays are generally good for me though.
This may already have been discussed somewhere in the thread, but is anyone successfully using the 5d3 for birds/wildlife?
I've noted that a firmware update means it is possible to get autofocus to work with a 5d3/100-400 zoom/1.4x extender combination. Is anyone successfully doing this?

Yep worked well for wildlife before the firmware upgrade aswell. AF is superb
Interesting......
.....reaches for wallet......
NO!...... slap........
There's no doubt that my 5d2 will need replacing in the fullness of time.
But I'm wondering to what extent a 5d3 can do at least some of the work my 7d currently does as well. I was very disappointed really in the quality of the sensor in the 7d.
Hence my question about the usefulness of the 5d3/100-400/1.4x extender!
I could go out and buy a 5d3 right now but I've been at it long enough to know that a new camera won't necessarily make me a better photographer.
Ive only used a 5DMKII for a few hours, and im by no means a pro, but what i found when i got my 5DMKIII (apart from adjusting to FF) was that shooting became more enjoyable.
For me that made a huge different to my hobby. It renewed my interest in photography and 8 months later i still smile when i hold the camera.
For the past 7 years ive been shooting with crop cameras, and for the past two a 60D. Compared to that the MKIII is light years ahead in what it can do (IMO).
