No doubt they are the best out there. Just that I have been so busy lately and havnt even used it or tested it :(

Hopefully this week i can.

On other news im not liking the 7d in regards to holding it and how its moulded. Feels weird compared to my 5dm2 and my hand gets more tired.. Sounds funny but I like the 5dm2 instead lol..

Should have just got another 5dm2.. sigh

How do you find the image quality of the 7D vs 5D Mk II? I realy need a second body and for what I do (mostly motorsport) the 7D on paper at least seems like a good coice

The other option is a 1D Mk 2n. Curently I shoot everything on the 5D II

To be honest I haven't taken many shots with the 7d. Bought it as a backup body and will use my 5dm2 90% of the time. Ideally I wanted another full frame so both bodies are identical etc.

But to answer your question the 7d will be more suited for you esp for motorsport photography. Better fps, better focus systems/points and most importantly for you its a crop body so you get more reach.

As soon as the 5dm3 comes out I will be selling the 7d. Feel like selling it now as I dont like holding it even with a grip. The whole body seems heavier than 5dm2. Not sure if its just me or if it really is heavier in specs.

For now will just use it as backup camera.

But what I have read on paper the 5dm2 is much better at higher ISO's..

I say go for it, or wait till I sell mine when the 5dm3 comes out lol..

thanks man :) Appreciate it! I'm currently using that one as my wallpaper!

Had a shoot last night with a rally replica Evo 5. Looked pretty coool cruisin through the mountains. Sounded pretty cool too. I've got 2 more SAU cars to finish before i get to the rest of these, Expect more from this set later in the week, or early next week! Here is something to get you interested though :P

I looked at the prices of the 7D after you where telling me you where interested in one for a backup and its a fair price difference between it and the 5dmk2! Its a shame it doesn't "feel" right after using the 5d as i too was almost thinking of downgrading to one to save a bit of money :(

The main thing im worried about with the 7D is a noticable drop in immage quality and sharpness from the 5D. There is a lot of pixels on a small sensor there...

While im here, heres a few from the weekend:

Kory shoots with a 7d. Might be best to ask him since he does motorsport as well.

i've played with Kory's 7d and it's perfect for motorsport. If i didn't have nikon lenses I'd get a 7d in a heartbeat. it's tracking ability and speed is amazing. coupled with some good glass i doubt you'd notice much difference in quality. it's a little beast. I even like holding it :P it's a good size and shape to hold while on the move.

matt, when you stack these in photoshop how do you blend the layers? lighten/darken?

also, maybe erase the background in all but one layer. can see where the camera shifted slightly between shots.

damn good work tho, love your style. im still keen to try this style out one day, need to sort out a lightbox of some kind.

usually lighten and mask. i will be retouching this one. the background is lit differently over a couple shots as I was using 2 flashes at a time. still, there's a few things i need to do on this one to clean it up. need to finish the other 2 cars first though before i go back to it. thanks for the tips though :) I thought you'd appreciate this set more than most ;)

Man, only one of my shots from that shoot on Sunday night turned out well, so here it is:

Most of my other ones were underexposed and/or blurry, and at the moment I really CBF working to bring them back to something worth posting.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      TBH, it sounds like the threads on the bolt are fubar in a specific section. Most likely as you've been working it back and forth it has torn threads out, as you loosen the bolt, this section enters the nut, now you're spinning a round shaft inside the nut, there's no threads here.   Use something similar to a claw on a hammer that will fit either side of the bolt head and try to apply downward force while also undoing it. The idea is to attempt to catch a thread, or just rip the f**ker out. Caution on ripping out, as it could bend/maime/mangle what the captive nut attaches to. If the captive nut is actually okay, you could do the dirty part of cutting the head off the bolt, then cut a slit in the end of the thread that's now exposed and then screw it up and into the area the captive nut is until it falls out the other side. However, this does risk the remainder of the bolt rusting over time and damaging near the captive nut and also making it rust. However, so can cutting pieces of panel work out to access this area if you don't reseal it properly.

      Rb25 det nitto washer crank gear

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Well, every piece of information on that part when you track it back to Nitto says it's for a KIT of theirs. It is also designed thicker to be stronger. And they speak about a specific harmonic balancer bolt they supply for the whole setup.

      Techniques for removing stuck bolts are: hitting the bolt head with a hammer, heating the bolt to red hot then letting it cool and working it back and forth like you are already doing. AFAIK the idea is to try to crush whatever material is stuck between the threads (and heat also melts locktite but that's almost certainly not relevant in this case).

      Rb25 det nitto washer crank gear

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yuh, I think it works with the Nitto gear only. I presume that you're not also using the Nitto gear? Watch the video. Compare the interface between the Nitto gear and washer (on the gear side) vs the stocker and decide if you think the Nitto gear is different from stock there.

      Liking the new charger, battery all good (I think).   Also like how you can put it in power supply mode too. Will troubleshoot with that sometime soon.
