Definitely aimed at the commercial market.

Heh, it's a 1D, it's never been marketed for anything BUT professionals

Not a 1D, but a 1Ds - about twice the cost of a 1D.It can probably be had on the street for $6500 (body only!)

well, 1D/s is what I should have said, heh. It's not like the mk III is cheap either

I think it has already surpassed it. Heck, the 16MP 1DsMKII already surpassed it.

I saw that, but i've seen 25 or 29 mentioned for Velvia 50 elsewhere, kenrockwell is one from memory.

Not that i'm an authority or anything

In Ken's article he references and heavily recommends the ClarkVision website. Since my original link saying digital surpasses Velvia 50 was from ClarkVision... heck, he even links to the article that I linked to.

heck!

I went back and read it all properly in the interim, my memory clearly isn't what it was...

However, I don't think it's quite such an equivocal 'surpasses' as you seem to be suggesting, once you get beyond pure resolution issues, and neither does mr rockwell...which isn't what we were really talking about initially anyway...

*wanders off muttering*

You remembered that they're called 'prawns' down here :heart:

I'll even spare you the anti-fosters diatribe i had prepared for that

Here's the DPReview link: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos1dsmarkiii/

I can't believe it has DUAL DiGiC III image processors! But it probably would be painfully slow with one trying to process a 100 MB TIFF!!!

The 1DMkIII has dual Digic III processors as well.

Someone needs to hack the firmware of Canon DSLRs and also find a way to overclock these DiGiC processors for mad fps pwnage.

i have to wonder how nikon's Q89 (D3) will stack up in 3 days? (though D3 appears to be more of a 1D competitor, it'll be the top of the line nikon for a while)


and canon has a gap in their lineup that you could drive a tank through.

I'm really anxious to see what the next Olympus pro model will be like.

Man the specs on this Canon are eye-popping.

me too.


<--- professional measurebator


edit: some dude in the dpreview olympus forum is calling the 40D an E510 ripoff.


still no good leaks on the E3/P2/DMCL2/Digilux4(not to be confused with D-Lux4)


i think i'd be most interested in a 4/3 based compact camera with a fast lens. and hopefully SD support. xD blows.

Wasn't me. I don't post on dpreview anymore. Waaay too many douchebags.

You're a good man for it. I am tempted to make an account there and start calling everyone's bs...but that will just get me even more upset.
And yes, just to make sure we are on the same page...I knew you didn't post that. I just like giving you crap.

What gap is that?

1Ds - all out maximum image quality, weathersealed - professional travel or studio photographer
1D - excellent image quality and extremely fast shooting speed, weathersealed - sports/wildlife shooter
X0D - midrange SLR - shooting speed, operation, and build quality between 1D and XX0D
XX0D - entry level SLR

Seems a pretty well-rounded lineup to me.
