Obviously the excitement created by Nikon had to be diverted a little before
Photokina.

At last, a DSLR to rival 35mm film for most applications - and I say
that having carefully studied all four of Canon's sample images.

Rival it? I'd say you're being a bit conservative. Can you say "Blows film
away?"

No,it doesn't come anywhere near blowing away a 6000 dpi drum scan of
a Fuji Provia 100F slide or NPS negative. Nowhere remotely near.

But I do accept that most applications don't need the quality of a
6000 dpi drum scan of a Fuji Provia 100F slide or NPS negative, and
for those applications, the EOS 1Ds MkII does rival film.
