"EOS 5D" or "Maxxum 5D" are a different matter entirely... There are at least two trademarks 5D registered on the USPTO, neither is for a camera. Why would Canon then chose to call a camera after a known entry-level product. 5D has been known as long as the 7D (also 9D) Is Canon marketing really that bad? What is happening on August 22, 2005? There will be a Nikon D200 announced sometime this year, but I don't see why they would issue a "full-frame" dSLR and a mk.II N which would presumably be a 1.3X FOV. Somebody is pulling someone's leg on this one. I'm not holding my breath. It would be interesting if a full frame dSLR came in at 12 megapixels and under $5000. Certainly would put a crunch on Nikon to go full-frame. We are "pretty" certain Canon can deliver a full frame dSLR at 12 megapixels and under $5000 (maybe be even $3500). BUT for a 1DMK2, it has to be able to handle at least 8.3fps. It might not yet be possible with the current DIGIC II processor. Is DIGIC III coming up? My guess is it'll be just minor update. The next 1DMK3 will likely merge 1Ds (full frame) and 1D (fast frame rate) using the D2X technique. |

Um, the Kodak DCS-14n was there several years ago. In Nikon mount first (though they did do a Canon version too, later). 14 megapixels, in fact. -- David Dyer-Bennet, , http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ RKBA: http://noguns-nomoney.com/ http://www.dd-b.net/carry/ Pics: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/ http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/ Dragaera/Steven Brust: http://dragaera.info/ Much of which is still down |

Moire, noise, color balance. Plus, it wasn't built like a pro body. NIKON actually does make nice dSLRs, they should make one full frame so they can actually take advantage of the strongest area of their lens lineup: the wide angle zooms. -- http://www.pbase.com/bcbaird |

It sounded to me like people were quite happy with it as a studio camera, and not so much in other uses. Anyway, it didn't seem to be so bad that we should pretend it didn't exist. -- David Dyer-Bennet, , http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ RKBA: http://noguns-nomoney.com/ http://www.dd-b.net/carry/ Pics: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/ http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/ Dragaera/Steven Brust: http://dragaera.info/ Much of which is still down |

I imagine that it would work best in situations where no cropping or only mild cropping were used, as zooming into its aliased pixels probably wasn't a nice experience. -- John P Sheehy |
