I shoot for free if it is truly non-profit groups. United-Way, March of Dimes etc. are not included. They seem to be mainly political tax shelters and can afford to pay for my services..
The idea behind the 70D and advancement is primarily to reinforce the EF lens mount into the future. Before this AF advancement it was a question for the geekier Canon owners if EF can live without the mirror. As a Canon and Panasonic owner I love my live view all the time on the m4/3 mount, but the performance is always questionable in critical situations, and lack of quality in the lens line compared to the Canon EF mount. However the quality and established EF line could be in trouble should Canon fail at a mirrorless solution, and people discover how nice always on live view is outside the world of the big two. Also of note is that the dual pixel AF covers supposedly 80% of the sensor for AF capability, far greater sensitivity then the other sensor manufacturers, which supposedly would give greater AF performance across the whole sensor as opposed to the m4/3 and Sony’s which are very center weighted AF performance.
Supposedly. If it works. Which it may not. But hey, at least Canon is trying?
