As well as making the images taken with those DSLR's look as pathetic as 35mm images do compared to MF film cameras. Maybe this will shut up some of the morons posting the "Dslr's are taking over medformat" garbage that get's posted almost daily now in the film newsgroups. Somehow I doubt it will. -- Stacey |

Well now, the base of the issue is what the people you call "morons" meant. Are they really claiming, "almost daily now" that "the APS size digital rebel" cameras "are taking over medium format"? I had not seen that. -- --Bryan |

The message
from deryck lant contains these words: The message from dy (Bill Hilton) contains these words: From: deryck lant The new 22 Meg Mamiya ZD 645 format DSLR with 36x48mm imager is rumoured to sell at around 10K US Dollars: http://www.letsgodigital.org/html/ev...iya/ZD_en.html If so it will dampen down the price of the new 1DsMkII Canon and maybe influence Nikon as well. Couldn't quite tell from the link but I THINK it's $12,000 for the basic camera body (based on the 10,000 euro price mentioned?) and THEN you gotta buy the 22 Mpixel back separately. You can also use existing film backs with it. The Phase One 22 Mpixel back (P25) retails for around $30,000 (and the 16 Mpixel back for $17,000) so if the ZD with a similar back is anywhere close to this in price I don't think Canon will be worried just yet $10,000 US for the body and the back would be a relative bargain and definitely put pressure on Canon though. The Letsgodigital article was referring specifically to the specification of the Mamiya ZD Digital Camera when it mentioned 10K euro. There is in addition a ZD digital back for some existing Mamiya Bodies. All very confusing. If the price is correct a lot of studio photographers will find it a compelling choice. Landscape too as the weight will be slightly less than the 1DsMkII. Nice light Lithium Ion battery helps.
