I think you want the 80d.

For a paid service it's a bit of a joke. Search malfunctions. Crashing at random. Extremely slow loading. One has to wonder how much we should tolerate.

Looks like my post processing needs work!

Thanks for the quick replies, that's a nice little PP you've done there Box Brownie, looks nice and sharp! I'm not sure how I can attach a large file here but thanks to rob for linking to the thread above and the photo is here Duxford Air Festival 2019 by Dan J, on Flickr

Hi all, I have a completely new to me combo this year which I thought would be ideal for airshows and motorsports. After my first proper outing at Dux on Sunday, i'm not sure if i'm getting the results I should from this combo. Granted light and conditions were pretty poor to put it mildly, but...

Never had any problems with mpb, and they were very helpful with my exchange. The second one seems to be working perfectly, no focus or oof issues, but the real test will be airshows :) No problems whatsoever on a little walk out with it. That said the 5d classic i've bought to go alongside it...

No need for silly back and forths on an otherwise interesting discussion. I'd be interested in trying a ML option for airshows and motorsports. Are they really up to it these days?

Well this seems to be working much more as a high end camera should! Fingers crossed for a proper outdoors test on Thursday!

Here is just one thread online for those interested https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1354075 I'm glad to hear some positive thoughts on the 70d. That's what I was hoping for really I think when I started this discussion. They can't all be broken can they? I had considered...

Ooh just won a great deal on a 5d classic on ebay too which i'll be picking up tomorrow! Always wanted one so this is the perfect time to play around with one.

In hindsight i wish I'd kept my 6d and just bought a second aps-c body for airshows and motorsports - 50d's look like a real bargain at the moment. I basically wanted an aps-c with fast fps and more advanced AF, the only two areas that let down the 6d IMO. Still waiting for MPB to despatch my...

Well i've decided to take a chance on another 70d, if the next one has issues (and i will be testing thoroughly) then it will be going back and i'll have to consider my options. I hope I am proven wrong about the 70d.

Nevermind I've just finished reading the thread! haha

I would vote for Slovenia. Beautiful country, lovely people, reasonably cheap. My favourite destination so far. Julian Alps as seen from Vogel by Dan J, on Flickr

Thanks all, I appreciate the encouragement, the thing putting me off getting another 70d is there is so much poor feedback on it online, there is a 100 page thread on the canon forums with people reporting similar or exactly the same issues mine has had. The performance of this body has been so...
