I've got the hero2, and would consider the 4, yet I still have no clue what settings to shoot in to get a good quality normal speed video uploaded. The quality never looks close to that of say, redbulls rampage videos on YouTube. Doesn't YouTube convert to 30fps anyway? Even when I shoot in 30fps (or 60) the videos just don't look close to as good as ones uploaded by big companies. I use hd upload option aswell. Only thing I can think of is post-editing in expensive video programs?? Any tips? Cheers

matt Started a new thread Upgrade from T2i to 7D?

Hey there, I'm currently shooting with a Canon T2i and battery grip, 70-200 f/4 canon, 430 EXII speedlight and radio triggers. I've had my T2i up for sale to see what I can get for it, and recently got an offer that would make a 7D upgrade about $500 total difference. Which seems pretty good to me. Problem is, money...

Alright, getting the general consensus that the 7D isn't really worth the upgrade Tongue 1D could happen, but by the time I do get the extra money, I'll be off to university, where little shooting time will be had. I'll be at the US Open and Canada Cups, and Moto races this year, kind of wanted to get a bit...

I did upgrade my kit lens to a Canon 70-200 f/4 (couldn't afford 2.8 and wanted to stick with Canon), but I'm thinking that pairing it with an upgraded body would really make it shine more. I see that the 1 series is a better body for sports, hands down. But even used, I cant afford it right now. I...

Honestly, I've kinda aimed my sights at the 7D and no higher at the moment. It is enough of a splurge, and finding a used 1D even if its a couple hundred more, isn't in my budget. Am I even correct in thinking that the 7D has a good AF system? especially over my T2i, I thought it was definitely...

Cool stuff, just checked it all out. But ya, that would be a "bonus" since my 90% focus is on the photography side.

Thanks dudes for the lens help! I'm gunna have to try to get my hands on them to hold them first, and see if I can find some gallery's with shots from them. Only thing holding me back on canon is not getting the 2.8. Everything else just seems more better (lighter, sharper, Canon quality) at a cheaper price with...

So I was pretty set on buying the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 in the next little bit, but now that's two guys saying go for the Canon 70-200 f4. The Sigma is $150 more, which isnt a huge deal. What do you guys think? I've read the Sigma is has pretty fast autofocus, good for action shooting, but may not be...

hey there, this thread looks awesome! Right now I'm shooting with a Canon T2i and kit lens, aswell as radiopopper transmitters with a Canon flash. I've had my nose burried in Bryan Peterson's "Understanding Exposure" book, learning about getting correct and unique exposures. Only thing is, when I go to shoot with the flash, I find myself just winging it...
