Canon 70D

[Leon]

today my used Canon 70D arrived via courier, I used Mbp Photographic, I know someone who has used them before, all the gear they sell is tested and listed honestly, I simply could not afford to buy a brand new camera, the one I chose was listed as in "good" condition, it's obviously not brand new but it is in very good condition, the only signs of use are on the pull out screen, someone must have had long finger nails.  sadly it came without a charger, the battery only had a little charge in so I don't have any shots to post up yet, they are sending a charger out tomorrow and they were very apologetic. really pleased with the service.

 

as for the camera... WOW, what a difference I put my 70-200 F4L on and the focus speed (once I realised back button focus was turned on) is unbelievable, and the 7FPS is incredible. the 1000D and 1100D always served me well and I had no complaints, till now when I realise how many shots I could of taken at the right time with no effort. I will not become a lazy spray and pray photographer, I'll just get better shots using the equipment I now have, we all know it's not the camera that takes the shot. perhaps having a slow camera (3FPS) trained me well to anticipate the shot?  I can't wait to see what I capture on Sunday!

I also splashed out on Liability insurance for the year so I could get my media pass back at Harewood.

stand by to be bored with all my Motorsport shots again.

When you know your subject and you know what you're doing better gear can make the difference - can't wait to see your results.

if I'm a little big headed.... to get the results I have in the past I must have a little idea

When I bought my d750 I even noticed the difference of 1 FPS more! Enjoy your toy
