Stuff<\/h3>\n

The IPT got off to a decent start despite the NW wind in the morning. This afternoon was amazing with the breeze continuing from the west, gorgeous light, and lots of tame birds including an uncommonly tame Whimbrel. Dwayne Marrott who was part of the Canon Morro Bay group flew from El Paso, TX is kindly driving my SUV back to the hotel as I work on the blog. <\/p>\n

This blog post, the 107th in a row, took about 1 1\/2 hours to prepare. It was published just after midnight on Saturday morning. <\/p>\n

Canon’s Huge Megapixel Bodies<\/h3>\n

Many of you have read about the two new Canon 50+ megapixel bodies, the Canon EOS 5DS DSLR <\/a> and the Canon EOS 5DS R DSLR<\/a>. The two cameras look, sound, and pretty much are quite similar. I have withheld commenting until now because I did not have a good–heck, I did not have any–understanding of the single difference between the two bodies, that being the Low-Pass Filter Effect Cancellation. <\/p>\n
