Except for the tiny pixels, that's about as nice as dSLRs get.

Looks very impressive.
Build quality appears to leave the 5D in the dust...if it's truly as robust
at the D2X (which is how DPreview describes its build quality).

Hey Canon!
Are you listening??
Give us a 1D body build on the smaller sibling rather than a thicker 20D.
Go ahead and kick Canon into shape if you can...


Everything I've seen so far makes this look like a VERY nice body.

Priced at $1849US, Canon should consider lowering their price on the 5D.
-Even though it's a couple MP more, and full frame...the D200 looks to be
serious competition for a large portion of the market...especially at that
price ($1500US less), frame rate (5fps vs. 5D's 3), and build quality (D2
build vs. Canon's consumer, 20D-similar build on the 5D).

Again...
Go Nikon!

Oh...and the D200 is **SEALED** unlike the 5D.
Hey Canon!?

That is one very nice looking camera.

Heck, in some areas, it knocks the D2X into the dust, like full size burst
rate...
Like to see what it weighs with the grip, if it maintains a significant
advantage there over the D2x.

Tiny noiseless pixels are the best.. This means detail..

You can't have tiny and noiseless at the same time. There's this little
problem, called physics, that gets in the way...

This is good for all! A good Nikon contender. It is half the current 5D
price. Even though Canon's got full frame, I can't believe that this
will not put serious price pressure on the 5D! Nothing like good old
competition

Without the full frame, the 5D is not much more than a 20D with updated
firmware and interchangable focusing screens. What you're paying for is that
sensor, and you're paying a lot for it. This being the case, anyone in the
market for a 5D isn't going to consider the D200 because it falls at the
first hurdle. On the other hand, anyone considering the D200 would be nuts
to consider the 5D as well - it's a lot of money for a feature that they're
obviously not that bothered about (otherwise why consider the D200?). The
Canon camera that the D200 is competing with is the 20D, and on the face of
it the D200 looks to be the better camera - you'd expect this given their
relative age.

The 5D and D200 aren't in the same market segment, and as a result I would
expect that price pressure on the 5D froom the D200 would be minimal. The 5D
is a "budget" 1DsMkII, not the 20D's ssuccessor.
