The eternal question is: How much competition will it take for Canon to make the direct-print button be programmable as a MLU button...

Oh please, make this happen. The idiocy on this is beyond comprehension.

Please don't compare a Ferrari to a 5D, you are disrespecting the Italians

Do we really need cars driving 150mph? Seriously? At some point speed will not matter anymore. I think I am dreaming about a Ferrari anyway.

Concerning me 16-18MP would be enough. For now and the next couple of years.
But if 24 MP or more are offered my "small" 5D2 would be available cheaper :-) than if not.

Digic3 processors should be enough to tell you that report is bogus.

Canon should just label the processor Digic8 and really blow Nikon out of the water.

Here is how it all makes sense: (

)

Canon introduces 7D and 3D, and the 5D will be updated with a new sensor.

7D with 18MP uses two DIGIC III because they are faster than one DIGIC IV, but less expensive than two DIGIC IV. But the DIGIC III's will use new software.

3D with 21 MP will use two DIGIC IV, for max performance, and be above $3000.

5D will remain at 12 MP for those who want really good high-ISO performance (per pixel), and don't need higher resolution. Will maybe even stay at one DIGIC III and be quite low in price. But new software, dust removal, micro adjust, etc.

Yes. That makes sense. :-) To the permanent hole in my pocket at least

But if they wpuld exchange names. No way 5D will remain at 12 and 7 D will have 18, while 3D 21MP. And of course, they all will have digic IV.

Yes, but the non-cross AF sensors leaves a lot to be desired in terms of AF speed and accuracy.

No problem I guess. The D3 here in germany remains still € 900 higher. And of course the 5DII IQ would be better I would imagine. They will not low the resolution down to D3 (

) and use an sensor beneath 50D standard. If its les resolution it will have 12.800 nativ at now 1600 ISO quality

A friend of mine sold all of his Canon gear and bought the D3 a month ago. I told him to wait a bit but he said that it was just what he needed, so why wait...

Given that Nikon has the D3...

I think it's a lay down misere that the new small format pro body is going to be the 3D...

3D vs D3.... get it?

I'll remain an EOSfan then....

After 3D is out we never have to read those threads concerning it AGAIN, I guess :-)

Seriously though, I dont know why canon is so after the MP race. Don't they know that people that buy current FF cameras understand these things for their IQ, not MP!?!? If they were to maintain @12mp and really increase its IQ, im sure most current 5d owners that are sticking with their cams for its impressive IQ would definately part with them and upgrade to a BETTER IQ cam.

Apparently, the specs for the Sony A900 are officially out:

24.6 MP full frame
5.0 fps
Viewfinder 100% Coverage with 0.74 magnification
Sensor-based stabilization
Dual Bionz Processors
19 AF points (9 dual cross type @ f2.8, 10 assist points)

Interesting times, indeed.
