What I make of the equipment notes is that Reuters may supply, or have a subsidized price on Canon equipment, though the 5D Mark II has certainly captured a large share of the PJ market. Full frame, small size, good low-light performance, and 1080p video for $2500 (now under $2,000). It certainly is preferred for video. And, I'm a Nikon shooter. As for lenses, most PJs I know have a wide angle zoom, 17-35, and a tele zoom, 70-200, and use those two lenses for 90 % of their photos. Add a 300 for sports, and that about covers everything. I've often thought about going back to the days of a fixed 24 mm and a 180 mm on two bodies. It makes one work a bit harder to "see" and to use one's feet to zoom. Not a bad thing. ?Jack On Dec 4, 2011, at 4:25 AM, Richard Man wrote: > I could swear that the year is not over yet :-) > > And it's almost like a commercial for Canon gears, except that the > photos > are quite good and powerful > > http://blogs.reuters.com/fullfocus/2011/11/21/best-photos-of-the- > year-2011 > > I also notice that most are taken with long lens.
