If the D200 is similar to the posts that currently circulate in cyberspace,
I assume it will list for around US$1600. Everything above US$2000 would be unwise. Of course, if the D200 comes with a CCD that offers extended dynamic range, people would jump on it even without "full format" image sensor. My D200 pipe dream is one that has a 10MPixel CCD with a 1/500 flash sync, very fast auto focus, fully enabled MLU and the stability we know from the D100. It shall list for US$1599. - But that's just a pipedream ;-( Gregor "frederick" wrote in message news:1124769536.880359@ftpsrv1... GTO wrote: In 2006, what will be my Nikon upgrade for my D70?

MarkČ wrote no pesky built-in flash Why is a built in flash "pesky"? On the camera I use, you can use the flip up flash along with a shoe mounted "bounce flash?, adjust the output of each independantly so you can shoot a perfectly balanced "bounce plus fill". That doesn't seem pesky to me and has resulted in the most natural looking flash shots I've ever taken. Is there an actual down side to a built in flash other than it doesn't sound "pro"? Certainly is on a 20D. Use it at your peril! Mine fried the camera when I used it instead of a Speedlight at a Santa shoot last year. Great move by Canon to fix the interference problems--- Just take it out! -- Douglas, You never really make it on the 'net until you get your own personal Troll. Mine's called Chrlz.

Depending on the power consumption of the 5D in standby-mode, you may not
have to always switch off your camera. While moving around taking pictures, I try to avoid switching off my D70 even when putting it into my bag. - But perhaps the EOS type of cameras drain the battery too quickly when turned on (?).

I wonder if the 5D will make good picture taking for the non-professional that much easier than the 20D? Can you justify it's cost for a non-professional? For me, it's seems to much difference in cost but that's me. I believe the 20D about one year ago was around $2000 so it fell about $800 over a year. This is what Michael Reichman of Luminous Landscapes also thinks: This price will fall down. However what makes me think against the 5D, is the bizarre set of controls. I miss the EOS-1 like or EOS-3 like set of buttons on the left. This wheel on the left is such a waste. Its one of the reasons that I left out EOS-20D. And, I will probably die and never guess why Canon is placing the on-off button on this strange place. I can switch on and off my Nikon with one hand while pulling it out of the bag. Canon better stays on, you cannot reach this silly switch. Thomas. |

It was $1499 on intro, so it's dropped $261 in the year since. And it would be difficult to justify the extra expense of the 5D over the 20D unless you need full frame for wide angle lens usage, or you need the spot meter. The 50% more resolution will only come into play at sizes of somewhere in the neighborhood of 24x36 inch prints, in my opinion. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |

The 5D isn't universally ahead of the 20D. For example, the 20D can shoot 5 frames per second in jpeg mode, while the 5D is limited to 3 frames (any mode). Has it got a good movie mode? ;-) -Mike I hope you're joking.... -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |

Operating Humidity is maximum 85%. I guess that cuts out all you rain forest nuts. Orchid growers and beach dwellers in those wonderful tropical islands! Don't know about the D2x, but the D70 is also 85% humidity (no condensation). I guess it's a "cover-all" clause by the makers to try to limit liability for failure due to internal corrosion/water damage. There wouldn't be too may places o earth where the temp is always between 0 and 40C with humidity less than 85%. SoCal would be one of those places, if it gets over 40C, the humidity is usually in the area of 20%-40%. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |
