DSLR "classes"
The magazines have been comparing cameras in various ways,
but in terms of "class" of camera, how would they rank? This is my impression as to how this works: (Models need not be in production here, just readily available in some form, new or used) Class 1. Canon 1DS MKII Canon 1D MKII(N) Canon 5D Nikon D2X Nikon D2Hs Leica Modular R (Digital) Olympus E-1 Fuji S3 Class 2. Canon 20D(A) Nikon D100 Minolta 7D Sigma SD10 Class 3. Nikon D70(s) Olympus E-300 Pentax *ist DS Class 4. Canon Rebel XT Nikon D50 Minolta 5D Pentax *ist DL "Bittorrents are REFUNDS for all the BAD movie products Hollywood never gave us refunds for in the past" |
I agree as well. Though i like that the S3 has to offer, it is not i the sme
class as the Canon 1Ds2 or the D2x "no one" wrote in message ... RichA wrote: The magazines have been comparing cameras in various ways, but in terms of "class" of camera, how would they rank?

the Olympus E-1 either, as it is getting a bit long in the tooth, and at
this point is a sub-$1000 camera. "skroob" wrote in message ... I agree as well.

Prices nowadays don't account for all class differences. -Rich "skroob" wrote in message .. . I agree as well.

Whoever the hell they are! Looks like it's in the group with Sigma SD 10's. -- Douglas, My name is but a handle on the doorway to my life. I change my Usenet ID periodically.

Canon Rebel XT Nikon D50 Minolta 5D Pentax *ist DL I think you need to move the Canon 5D, Oly E-1 and Fuji S-3 into Class 2, and move the entire population of class 2 into 3, 3 into 4 and create class 5 for the appropriate cameras. The 5D, E-1 and S-3 are not competitors for the Nikon E2 series and the Canon 1 series. Not sure where the Leica falls, too expensive for one, and not rugged enough for the other. The Sigma SD10 needs to be dropped a class, too, not enough res, camera performance nor ruggedness to be put in the same grouping as the 20D and Minolta 7D. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |
