I'm so happy right now.
As a poor college student I haven't been able to upgrade my gear in about 4 years, until last week, so I'm the proud new owner of a 60d and Tamron 17-50 2.8VC!

I'm finishing up my last two years at school but hopefully I'll be booking some awesome jobs soon, so I'll have some more current work to share with everyone.
 
60d fits between the 7D and t3i. Same sensor so video and all that is accessible too.

Theres too many for me to keep up with too. I've been shooting with a Rebel XT until now haha

Interesting article that I thought some of you might have some feelings on. I don't know enough enough either way, but I do enjoy a good discussion.

DSLRs are a dying breed – 3rd Gen Cameras are the Future

my 1st serious camera was a "3rd gen". i don't think they'll replace DSLR until they can get a bigger sensor in them. the only camera of this type with a sensor that can compete with a DSLR sensor is the sony NEX, but their flaw is lens selection. Micro 4/3rds already has an awesome array of lenses and a good amount of varying body types. The last set of pics i posted were taken with an Olympus E-PM1, aka "Pen Mini." i have a 14mm pancake lens on it and the sucker fits in my pocket! 3rd gen cameras i think are good as 2nd bodies, but for now i don't think they'll replace the dslr.

I think the article is saying a couple of things though. One, it's not a today thing. It's in the future. Two, if you're just starting out, getting a DSLR isn't a bad idea. If you have all the gear though, might not want to rush out and buy a ton more when in five years you (potentially) might be left behind with the new tech.
 
Looks like a bad ass camera, as does the recently announced Canon Eos-1Dx. Maybe it's just me but there seems to be more buzz about the D4, eventhough the Canon has some better specs. Maybe because there is a firm release date and it's available for preorder now. The Canon has a few more pixels, shoots more frames per second and has slightly better screen. The Nikon, however, seems more refined and has some new innovative technology. Well this should make for an interesting smack down. Both are pretty awesome.

I can't drop $6k on a camera so I'm a little more curious about the D800 with it's rumored 36mp sensor. It could turn out to be a replacement for both the D700 and D300 since it would still have superior resolution even when shooting in the cropped DX mode. Also, the rumor that there will be a version with no anti-aliasing filter is intriguing. It makes sense. If you are shooting at such high res, why add blur unless you have too? If you need it, do it in Photoshop or whatever later.
 
Huh...biz is picking up. Just arranged my first job in MONTHS. Welding company needs some stuff shot for its website. Doing it some time next month.
 
I wish there was a high-quality camera that sent pics via wifi to various social media sites like a phone does. Is there such a thing? Like a Canon elph with wifi?
