Some people are very strangely fixated on the 18 MP spec, as if this camera is going to be shit because it has a whopping 3 MP less resolution; yet no 100% crops have been posted. There\'s a lot of hypocrisy going on here.
It\'s not just the lower megapixellage. Even with the better DR and ISO performance (which I very much expect to see), you are in studio conditions (not ISO or DR limited) producing lower resolution files than the 1DsIII. Even in real conditions where the two might be equal in terms of IQ (landscapes with large DR), it is still behind the 2008 D3x and A900 in IQ (barring massive leaps of 5+ stops DR over current Canon and color accuracy better than Sony). This is pretending that Sony releases nothing new in the next 5 months despite the recent discontinuation of their full-frames in preparation of their new SLT full-frames.
Instead of leaping beyond the 1DsIII, A900, and D3x by bringing even further gains in MF-competitive 35mm imagery, this body is somewhere between worse and marginally better than the 1DsIII despite roughly 3 years wait.
