Canon 24 - 70 f2.8 Test Shots

I've finally made the decision to switch to Canon and wait for its full frame body (Nikon D3 is out, but it is just too pricy!) So I trade my Nikon 17-55 f2.8 for this Canon's 24 - 70 f2.8 L. I think it is just as sharp as my Nikon, and in some extent out performed it! I just need to save up enough for a cheaper 2nd hand 5D now...

(Sorry, some hand shake...)

1/100 sec f3.5 @ 68mm, iso 400

(I like Nikon's outdoor capability better than Canon, but Canon is for sure less saturated! And again, some unstable hands while driving...)

1/60 secs f2.8 @ 32mm, iso 1600

(Canon is really good at low light and high ISO. The lens is tack sharp! woho! And yes, the yellow cast is in fact quite realistic!)

New Baby Outdoor Test

I took some candid shots during lunch time today. I seldom can enjoy the beautiful scene of the Art Gallery whenever I crossed it to and from work. It has a nice fountain definitely! And the sky - just superbly blue! (sorry the image size was shrunk... will fix later)

New Baby - 17 55 2.8 Test Shot

My long awaited lens has finally reached me today (too bad it didn't came before the shoot, but I am glad it didn't coz I still need time to master it). Anyway, just want to post some test shots for evaluation.
