I was at the arboretum today, and I bumped into someone taking senior portraits down there. Anyway, he had a 5D, and he said he was jealous of my 30D. Why????

Maybe it was the faster shutter speed? Apart from that i really dont know
05/25/2006 04:06:43 PM · #3
maybe because he can't shoot 5fps?
05/25/2006 04:12:25 PM · #4
30D shoots 6fps.

He wishes he paid what you paid? ;-)

Seriously, the 5D is probably the ultimate tool for portraits, so I don't know whay he'd feel that way, unless he misses the feeling of additional reach for telephoto work, or unless he's feeling the bite in additional storage space and processing horsepower needed for 5D files.

Side by Side

30D is 5 fps

My owners manual says 6fps.

maybe he honestly thought the other 25 Ds got you some cool features...
05/25/2006 04:50:09 PM · #12
Maybe its the pop up flash and the fact that it is lighter?

Pg. 82 "Max 5 shots per sec."
05/25/2006 05:09:40 PM · #14
yep 5fps.
05/25/2006 05:12:15 PM · #15
Maybe he was really just hitting on you ;-)

I thought I'd read 5.5 at some point.

30D is newer than the 5D - he just envies the newest stuff.

Well, he did give me his card and tell me to call him so we could talk photography.
05/25/2006 05:17:09 PM · #18
Was it followed by "wink wink nudge nudge say no more know what I mean?"

Why in the world would anyone hit on me?
