IS is a load of cack janer, its only useful when you get into the big zoom lenses.
spend the money on the better glass.
the recording time is 12 minutes at HD, 29 minutes at regular or 4 gigs.

IS is most certainly not cack!!
I can shoot as low as 1/25 shutterspeed with my 24-105L in dark places!! (once there is not much movement)

 

[Goff]

IS is grand. But I honestly don't know anyone who uses it regularly.

But if the lens has IS on it, then it's usually a sign it's a better lens. I find them weird to use. Better off just holding it steady.

 

[Janer]

Think its us newer Photographers that would use it more, you old schoolers would'nt maybe.

 

[Goff]

Probably cos we like to do it right!

Heh heh heh.

 

[Janer]

If you have something at your disposal why not use it?
It wouldn't stop me buying fixed focal length lenses now, ie 50mm 1.4 that I own or the 100 2.8 macro.
The 24-105L is just a great walkaround lense and it's handy to have IS on it if I need to use it.
The IS on the 2.8 70-200 was a luxury alright.

[Janer]

3 hit Dublin today as far as I know, 1 to Gunn's 1 to Conn's and 1 to the shop on Grafton street.
Gunn's told me they were getting 5 in when I ordered mine months ago, I was 5 of 5...me owning a 5d mk II looks a distant dream now.

 

[mr pharmacist!!!!1]

did they say when they were getting the rest in?
thats just the first shipment janer, i'd reckon more will follow in the coming weeks.

 

[Stonie McHash]

Jaysus, sure the wait was long enough. What's a few more weeks

 

[Janer]

They may get 1 in next week
And Stonie fs I was dreaming of that 5D mk II everynight, I feel like going out and boozing but the last time I went out in this frame of mind I got nicked....I'd better stay in.

 

[Janer]

also I shoulda took your advice and ordered it in numerous places.
