I\'m sorry- but that\'s just ridiculous. That sounds like the specs for the 1ds mark IV to me...
But see, this is exactly the problem. Those specs do not represent any sort of significant improvement over the 1Ds3. So if that\'s what the 1Ds4 is like, it\'s just another example of Canon trying to get people to pay thousands for incremental improvements.
The next 1Ds should have some *real* improvements. Like, say, finally giving us better dynamic range -- it\'s only the #1 thing people have been asking for for years?
What you call \"just ridiculous\", I call \"pushing the envelope\". It is when people are amazed at the amount of product you get per dollar, that you know a company is really innovating. This has happened many times in Canon\'s past, but not any time in recent memory, AFAIC.
I don\'t want a 1 series. They are too heavy, too bulky, too expensive, and have too many pro features I don\'t need. I just want a *proper* update to the 5D -- a camera with lots of pixels, good image quality, decent AF and a reasonable price. --c
