Touchdown! Greaser!
Hey Shutterbugs,
I just got a new toy - Canon 70D with the EF-S 18-135 and EF 70-300 lenses. I have a lot to learn!
If you have a DSLR... Which one? What lenses? What accessories do you find the most useful? What software do you use for importing/sorting/basic editing?
One thing I've really liked about shooting with my iPhone and my P&S (Canon SX230) is that they both have GPS and geotag photos automatically. It seems that except for the consumer-level DSLR's, nobody has GPS built-in... And Canon is happy to sell you a hot-shoe GPS... Those start at the low, low price of about $230 online! Is there a less expensive alternative?
One of the things that drew me to the 70D was the built-in WiFi. Rather handy in this day of social networking to be able to beam a photo or three on my phone to share on Facebook.
I initially set up the camera to shoot raw + jpeg with full resolution on the raw file and the jpeg at 1920x1280 which is plenty big enough for sharing on the web. However, when I import (currently using iPhoto, going to upgrade to Aperture), I end up with two copies of the picture - NOT what I want.
So, relating to that:
1) Do you shoot in Raw, JPEG, or Raw+JPEG and why?
2) If you use the Canon EOS Remote app, what do you get in your phone's photo library when you shoot Raw and move a pic over?
Thanks much for your suggestions!
