All the benefits of trading on a full frame Canon 6 d to the top of a 60 d for horse photography?

Hello, I am considering upgrading my Canon 60 d to a full frame (6 d), I usually shoot horses in action, and not profiles of head using a Canon 70-200 L IS lens. I would be interested in your comments about whether if the cost would benefit me with this type of photography. Also extra lens suggestions would be appreciated.

I do a ton of equestrian photography.

I use a pair of 7 d for the vast majority (90% or more). Those who have essentially the same sensor and high ISO capability as your 60 d, just a slightly more sophisticated (but more sensitive) autofocus system and superior pace. I also have a 5 d Mark II that is proven sometimes useful in low-light situations, but I use it much less than cameras of the harvest. The 5DII can do a higher than the 7 d ISO stop (a 6 d ISO offer slightly higher than the 5DII, as well as the light focusing very low ability).

Mainly, I'd rather have the 'additional' scope of the cameras of culture as the ISO capabilities of full frame. My most used lenses are the 70 - 200/2.8, 70 - 200/4 IS, IS 300/2.8 and 300/4 IS. I also wear and sometimes use 28-135 IS, 10-22mm, 24-70/2.8 and a number of shorter premium (portrait, macro, tilt-shift).

In order to have the "scope" of a 300 mm lens on crop camera, with a device full photo frame, I'd have to lug around a 500 mm. No thanks!

But in general it is more down to the camera lenses, on what they are used...

What lenses and cameras I use depends on the type of event, I'm shooting, I can be or want to be mobile, an arena covered, or not, if I don't work out.

For the dressing, I often have to work in covered arenas. But I'm not mobile at dressage events, so I can implement a 300/2.8 on a tripod to reach the other end of the arena and use a 70-200/2.8 for closer shots. I prefer to stop a bit to a depth of field when I can, but like f2.8 available if necessary to get the shots in the darker areas of the arena. As a general rule, except at a very high level, training cannot and must not be photographed with flash. Most of the horses and riders of dressage junior and amateur is not accustomed to Flash. Dressage is progressing more slowly than some other events, so I can shoot with a slow shutter speed in many cases... 1/250 and 1/320 is sometimes possible.

Hunter/jumper, stock, gymkhana, and English/Western contests are types of events where I need to be more mobile and tend to use the 300/4 IS and 70-200/4 IS for shooting especially pocket. These types of events are sometimes covered arenas, but are often in locations open, not covered. Even if the scene is covered, it is likely be well lit.  It is possible to use the fill flash, but I try to avoid as much as possible and do not use it too close.

Hunter/jumper, jumping arena, gymkhana and all kinds of competition stock tend to move around, so I need to use 1/640 or speeds, faster shutter so I want to freeze the action.

For path testing I try to wear minimal gear because I walk the track with the horses and the riders (not all 6 to 10 miles of most of the formations of TT), but it is completely outdoors in a good light. I use especially 28-135 on a camera and 300/4 IS on the other. I had trouble with the noise of the 5DII in settings quiet test track, but not with the 7 d or even using the 5DII in arenas noiser (I know the 6 d and 5DIII have "calm" modes, but did not use them, what isn't sure how effective they are, or if there are any other questions their use.)

Cross-country skiing is a type of event where I always struggle to know what to do. If I work close to the House or take a walk outside on the course, I could take more lenses and tripods. But if I'm hiking, I'll opt for the lighter things.

I sometimes use the 5DII full frame planned, portraits stationary (after the test to see if the horse responds to the sound of the shutter). I also sometimes will use it in particularly dark locations. But usually even those I can find bright spots and those with my 7 d work instead. Then I might be only limited shooting in particular parts of the arena.

If I could wear only one, it would probably be a device to harvest... on a budget of 60 D-70 D sensor, 7Ds work well for me for more than 4 years and more than 100,000 clicks and will probably get replaced with 7 d Mark II when those who are available. (In the past I have widely used 50 d, 30 d, and 10 d, too.) A unit of harvest gives the most versatility and flexibility, IMO. It offers the "extra scope" which allows the smaller, lighter to, cheaper to serve, as well as all the goals both lenses EF and EF-S can be used (a full frame camera is a bit limited, EF only).

But, of course, of 6 d low light capabilities could be nice sometimes. It's probably a good two ISO stops rain able your 60 d or my 7Ds... and it's AF is able to concentrate in the lower light about two stops, too (-3 EV, compared to 1 EV). Note that the 6 d is limited to a large extent to the Center AF point only, for any AI Servo/shooting action and low light. (It would be good for me... same thing is true of my 5DII and even with 7Ds and 50Ds, who have much more capable peripheral focus, I still use as the center of a large part of the time.)

I hope this helps!

  • Reset all the top items of the page in navigation Mode

    With the silent disappearance of the Browse button in the bar at the top of the content viewer, another interesting feature of little seems to have disappeared. In older viewers, could tap the title folio in the top bar quickly three times, to reset all extensions in the article back to the top. A handy feature, especially if you're testing a lot of folio or presenting one to a customer. Is there something new to trigger this? Type in my hands, pull my right ear lobe and press the Apple logo on my iPad, whispering "Adobe Rocks"?

    BTW, the Browse button is always shown and described in the folio resident tutorial on the application of the content viewer.

    The triple pressure should still be there, it's really complicated to get right.

    The Browse button is back in version 26

    Oracle used shared memory to implement the CMS, which was the largest consumer of memory of the Oracle instance. The problem is that in of many modern operating system, including linux, it is difficult to define the use of memory real fo software. This is because the memory used by a process consists of shared (for example, shared memory, shared library, executable code) and private components (for example, the heap, stack). Utilities such as top, ps, etc. provides all the visible memory through a process, regardless of whether or not it is shared. Accordingly, the total amount of VIRT etc. will be inflated by shared components. A more accurate figure of the use of memory, shared memory / library / code should be counted once.

    Before 11g, Oracle used System V ipc, and it is possible to control the amount of memory allocated by using IPCS. 11 g, Oracle passed to/dev/SHM, use df to check memory allocation. (Thanks user11150436)

    The figure of "Mem used" in the upper part is the actual use of memory: shared memory and the library are not counted multiple. However, Linux always puts in cache (read before actually requested) and disk i/o buffer (writing after completion of signaling). Therefore, "Used Mem" is almost always of very nearly the amount of physical memory. "Used Mem' - 'buffers' - 'cached' reflects the memory actually used by the operating system and all the programs most accuately.

    And you can use the pmap utility to check the memory card. Can classify you the use of memory sharable and unsharable to calculate a more accurate result, adapted to your need. You need knowledge of OS to understand the output.

    When you remove the external hard drive, you will lose the library of the media player library list, it's the design of the media player library and this is how it works in the location list monitoring.
