For me it's not just the bokeh, but the combination of being able to shoot in even lower light, and that in most lens families, the 2.8 variant has better engineering in it so that even at f/4, 5.6, 7 etc. it tends to be a bit sharper than its smaller aperture counterparts. Not always, but that...

Thanks, Man and Sam. Upgraded the firmware. Body was on 1.1.4 and 1.2.0 is the current. The 24-70 L is already on the latest firmware so that's good. It is a hefty beast with the lens on it. Glad I ate my Wheaties before picking it up. The 7D was a very nice camera, my first (and as it turns...

Cool thanks! Yeah my 7D upgrades went smoothly so I was hoping it was just more of the same. Curiously, I've never owned a lens that had updatable firmware (I just checked and the EF-S 17-55 doesn't have any from the Canon site). Yikes, who knew. Guess I need to learn how to check, and possibly...

So...it was Amazon deliveries. And there was no signature attempt. I was just monitoring my phone notifications while working and it said "Delivered" and went to my front door and there it was. Fortunately the box looks to be in about the best shape I've ever seen an Amazon box arrive in, and...

@Scott Merryfield are you on the latest firmware? I see Canon just released one very recently and I'm positive the new camera won't have it when it arrives. Is it stable/safe to install right away? I'd upgraded my 7D a few times years ago without a hitch but wanted to get confirmation from a...

I'm guessing it's a glitch because I do, in general, use the quote function. I have purchased high dollar items from Amazon, but in the past I've usually had it shipped to the local hub so I can pick it up on my own time vs. waiting for it to arrive. So this is the first four-figure purchase...

If that is the case, I've had marginally better luck with FedEx (though also some mishaps). I did get a warning at checkout a few days ago that "someone will have to sign for the package" which was great to see. However I just looked on the site's tracking and the last status (midnight last...

Thanks @Scott Merryfield I browsed that thread and it's very insightful! I'm looking forward to getting my equipment. As always, with Amazon Prime shipping I'm always my breath. I confirmed prior to purchase that everything was "Shipped By & Sold By: Amazon" which means it will be fully covered...

Thanks for the correction. Yes, it is a mirrorless camera, I've edited the title and the post (slightly)

In continuation from my reply in the iPhone 15PM thread... I know what you're asking: "If you find the iPhone 15PM camera to be so great, why did you just drop ducats to upgrade your old DSLR to a mirrorless camera?" So a couple of weeks ago I eyed an old PC I hadn't used in over a decade...
