My new camera doesn't have a flash?!?!?!


It's okay, I guess.... full frame kind of makes up for it Ummmmm initial impression? HOLY CRAP I CAN SEE THROUGH THE VIEWFINDER! Coming up from my paraplegic Rebel XT with about 55-60,000 acutations, this thing is amazing. It feels like a camera should, much better ergonomics than the 30D, although its a close tie with the D200. The 2.5" LCD is amazingly clear and a godsend on the night shoots. Not to mention relatively clean iso 3200. Anyway, on with the pics....

Obligatory knife shot


No packaging shot, bought it local.


Still decked out from shooting last night


Quick grab of the with the 24-70.


Bonus for the vintage guys. Inherited this just a while ago and forgot to make a thread. It's a Zeiss-Ikon Ikonta 521/2 with a Carl Zeiss Jena 105mm 3.5 lens. Shoots a 6x9cm on 120 film. Can't wait till I can afford to buy/process film again!


Elliot - you NEED this camera

You paid about $1500 too much for that camera.

If you're talking about the 5D, you're 100% right!

Lol... putting that Sigma flash on the 5D is almost offensive. I tried that once and it felt so shabby.

Any product with the word "super" or "pro" in it always scares me.... with the exception of the Fuji S5 Pro.

Tokina's marketing scares, me though.

dude I just realise what you meant it literally has no flash! WTF canon? I was just entertaining the thought of getting a DSLR and though the 5d thought I could never afford it but still not even a shitty flash canon? Guess that 400D is looking real good now.

What kind of pro uses an onboard flash?
