GONE out of focus WITH THE 5D2 !

Mammamia! IS this all you can get out of the xpensive 5D2 ?

Even with the flash on you can't see anything sharp except for the noise.

http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/108213128

Only one sharp eye, even with flash used. Do you know what DOF is?

http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/108213127

More noise with flash and no DOF.

Except for a few hairs on the right, nothing is in focus here. With F/1.2 at
this distance, your DOF would be less then half an inch. What were you
thinking?

Have a look at this:

This woman just started taking pictures a few months ago. She only has a
Nikon D40, but heck: you can learn a lot from he sharpness, DOF, etc.
It shows that you don't need and expensive camera to make good pictures...

Not great shots true, but how come you can't read the exif?
Doesn't "Flash Used - NO" actually mean without flash?

You are kidding, right?
Did you miss the whole episode about Bret's claims
that he uses flash but pbase misses its exif?

I take it as a compliment when someone has to look at the EXIF data to
see if a flash was used. A compliment to me and Gary Fong.

No, it means the camera didn't know about any flash being used. Many
cameras have at least one mode of use (such as Manual) in which a
flash trigger firing circuit is available if required, but the camera
doesn't know whether it was used.

Not to mention the possibility of the EXIF data being wrong.

Why the personal attacks on Brett? Did he p*ss someone off in the past?

Yes, do you? That's why you don't see the dresser in the background.
Stick to your little point and **** with it's infinite DOF and leave
the real cameras for us that know how to use them.


You DO know how to use it? When did that happen?
Now all you have to learn is, that a cat is more than 1/4" thick....LOL!

Yeah, sure... I got 5 star ratings with a old Canon P&S, that makes better
pictures than what is shown there.
Let alone what I can do with my D300...

Ask him how they rated his photos on NG...
