Just being a snob but really a tripod for a phone camera sheesh.

Having owned (and still do) a 40D. It's not the answer you are looking for but the focusing on the 70D is far superior which is why I upgraded and still use my 70-200 f4 and get much better results even when cropped. Just food for thought Dave

Pro 1 print to 350gsm

If I didnt PP my images then they would still look flat just as they did when shooting film. I edit errr sorry post process my images so that they look more like slide or more specifically like Cibachrome when printed. Dave. Yup I use Lightroom and Photoshop.

I went from the 40d to the 70d at Christmas. I passed the 40 to my teenage daughter. I have mentioned that I'd like to swap. I've really tried to fall in love with the 70 but there's something missing from the processed images. I can't put my finger on it. Dave.

I use a PC i7 16gb ssd and 4gb graphics windows 7 pro. When it dies I may get a Mac mini just for something different :). The Mac mini is 3rd gen and not current 4th generation processors. Rumors are there is new one on the way. Maybe later this year. ( Intel are set to release 5th gen in q4)...

RAW is 14bit. IMHO An 8bit Calibrated screen is fine for most users. I include myself in that. Dave

As has already been said by myself and others. You need a pro grade graphics card to output a wide gamut 10bit signal to a wide gamut monitor. Mac OSX does not support 10bit colour. Windows 7 and 8 do. Adobe Photoshop can output 10bit colour if you enable it in preferences. But if you shoot...

It is 6bit +2 Im not conviced that macs support 10bit either http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3538545 Dave

Think scaffold poles.. :) I have the UniLock version....(had it 20 plus years..)

Im getting a bit tired of repeating myself.... but you need a 30bit capable graphics card for these monitors... AMD FirePro or NVidia Quadro 2000 or above.... Dave

Guys you have to remember that most graphics cards do not support adobe RGB. A 99% adobeRGB IPS panel requires a NVidia Quadro or equivalent graphics card to get the most from the monitor.. A Dell U2412 is 100% sRGB and 80% adobeRGB and a bit cheaper at around the £200 mark. Hope this helps a...

I have just replaced the set that came with the printer and it has done about 50 A3 prints. Half the ink was used to charge the print head and tubes. I have seen independent test show that a new set of inks will produce 200 A4 prints. In theory this is the same as 100 A3. Dave.

I went for the Pro 1. It's really rather good. black and whites are awesome. I have only used it with Permajet papers (good quality and value IMO). I chose this over the Pro 10 on cost per ml of ink, yes it's over £200 for a set but they are 36ml tanks. Dave.

I too use a linear one on a 40d. Works just fine. Dave.
