Topic 1:  Canon 77D Announcement

• Digic 7 processor
• 25,6k ISO
• “Fastest Live View Autofocus”
  • 45 Point AF
  • Much better at low-light focusing (-3EV)
• Jeff: I understand T7i, fine camera for someone starting out. Not enough to upgrade from T6i. Don't understand 77D at all???
• Difference between 77D and T7i
  • interval timer
  • bulb timer
  • AF-On button
  • a top LCD panel
  • eye sensor to shut off the rear LCD when the camera is raised for shooting
  • 77d costs $110 more than the T7i
• Canon announced 3 cameras on the same day, none shoot 4k video
  • 77D, T7i, M6
• April 2017 for $900

Topic 2: Jeff – Wacom vs Huion Digital Tablet

• Not completed review, have to spend a lot more time with Wacom
• Initial reaction is not a lot of difference
• Wacom has a little smoother feel
• Wacom setup by default like I came to discover on my own with Huion
• Wacom pen needs no battery
• Suspect Wacom pen I am using is worn out – Connor

Topic 3: Jeff – Shooting basketball

• Been doing a ton of high school basketball shooting
• Quick tips on basketball in particular
  • Shutter Speed at least 1/400
  • Aperture 2.8 minimum
  • ISO to compensate, crank it up! I have shot 6,400 and 8,000 on Canon crop. Only photographers see noise
  • Shoot close to but not on the baseline with the team you want to shoot coming toward you on offense
  • Be on the side of the basket so that you can see faces of right handed players
  • 24mm on Canon crop (about 40mm FF) enough room for team coming towards you
  • 70mm on Canon crop (about 112mm FF) not quite enough reach for other side of the floor
  • Basketball is a vertical game, shoot portrait orientation
  • Don't forget to get shots of student section, national anthem, cheerleaders, parents, huddle (Moses parting student section)
