Sounds like 1 step below the 1ds... since the 20ds is under USD$1,500?
Not the same category? T. |

If the specs and pricing are true, it seems to be positioned as a Nikon D2x-killer. It's really can't be compared to the D2x, other than in price, with the larger pixels, and full frame, it's a big step up. It should be good for D2x buyers though, since it'll likely crash the price of the D2x. |

If you don't need 5 or 8 fps high speed shooting this sounds very tempting. I would love full frame in a body just slightly larger then the 20D. They will NEVER try to sell a 20D-type body for $4200. It will have the usual fake "motor drive" style huge base so you think you're getting more than you are. They have to keep up an image. -Rich |

If it's real then they are doing what I said they wouldn't. HOW are they going pull this off? $4275 for a camera that appears outwardly to be like a 20D?? I suppose a huge percentage of the cost of the body is solely for the sensor? -Rich |

It seems to beat 1D Mark II though. Is it going to replace 1D mark II or is that going to be updated soon too? |
