A kick-butt camera is looming
The EOS 20D has a 22.5 mm X 15 mm sensor. Scale that up to full-size (35
mm) and you get 20 megapixels with the current sensor density. The ISO and noise performance with the current sensor are both very good. Give Canon 1 to 2 more years and I'd bet a prosumer 35 mm, 20 MP SLR camera will be available for $2000 U.S., or less. The heck with EF-S lenses. I'm going to wait a while. |

Looming? Sounds scary to me.

Canon announced the 1Ds MkII 16.6 MP camera last month. A 20 MP sensor only
has about 20% more pixels. It takes 25% or more pixels to notice much of an improvement (all else being the same). The difference in resolution is less than the difference between a 4 and 5 MP camera. The 8MP 20D has 33% more pixels than the 10D. The difference in image quality is not that great. I'm holding off an upgrade until a 10+MP camera in that price range is announced. The point is, they're pretty much there. They just need to work on the price. : ) bg "Charles Schuler" wrote in message ... The EOS 20D has a 22.5 mm X 15 mm sensor.

That is why there seems to be a point at which pricing takes a quantum leap. |
