Different strokes for different folks. We shouldn\'t be trying to squeeze the 1DmkIII into the 5D mkII body.
why not? a bulky 1-series monster is a real pain for most situations.
the D700 squeezed a D3 into a small body.
the EOS 3 did too.
Not really. but remember that Nikon has a lot of ground to make up vs Canon. they are taking risks. It could cost them greatly. A friend of mine, Lloyd, from Digitallloyd, agrees with me that the 5D mkII is going to hurt the D700 sales terribly. He feels that Nikon will have to lower the price.
I also think that the D3 sales will be impacted.
Nikons choice to almost meld the two cameras could backfire.
Why should Canon follow suit?
how did putting those featues in hurt it?
suppose they had out the D700 sensor in the 5dmkii body that would sell better than the D700?? more fps and better AF and less lag time HURT the D700?
If they had not put in those features there would be ZERO reason to get it over a 5DMkII, for anyone and absolutely less than zero reasons to get a D300 over a 40D (as it is, it\'s somewhat debatable to say the least).
Maybe it hurt the D3 and maybe the slightly lesser profit margin on the D700 and
lost D3 sales will bring them down more than any increased sales, but that i snot for sure and even if it is, the fact that have it set like that might\'ve brought some over and kept others in their camp which might outweight any loss in the other sense.
and if the 5dmkii will hurt the sales terribly how much would a $200 worht better parts in the 5dmkii have hurt it? there would be almost no point in the D700 in that case.
and does it make sense to let nikon catch up so much? maybe canon will squeeze more out this way and come out ahead in $$ in the end, but if they cary things too far and annoy too many, especially with the 1dmkiii stuff, slowly maybe they will sorry.
does seem like they could\'ve at least made the center point f/2.8 in BOTH directions without any worry of messing things up and certainly over three years time that is not too much of a drain on resources!
anwyay, whatever.
and yes many people will be very happy with the 5dmkii.
and myabe the IS somewhat better AND as fast as in a 40D and maybe fps is the only place where it lags a bit.
we\'ll see.
