I think he meant "$7000 Ringgit" and not "SG$7000". More expensive than 1DmkIII ?
Not in any sense of practicality. I suspect that if its true, is referring to a 1DmkIII "N" instead... Or possibly a FF 1D model, aimed squarely at the D3.

I don't think 1D series will move to FF as they may over-power their 1Ds series.

Just thinking ... ;p

Well Canon can always make the 1DMIIIn shoot 10FPS at 22MP and 1DsMIIIn at 5fps at 50MP. Cos Canon already have the 50MP 35mm CMOS sensor.

1D series are made for sports junkies. Their 1.3X FOV isn't too tele, neither too wide and coupled with high fps rate, it's a perfect match.

What I read about this one was from a year ago, and that it is a APS-H sensor size (1D series) not full frame.

There are many professionals who shoot sports. I don't think its fair to call them sports junkies

Don't get me wrong. What i meant is those who're really into sports, no offence to those who're sports shooters.

If they can make for APS-H, what is stopping them to make it Full Frame?

It used to be the prohibitive cost of making a flawless large sensor. Now, it's just a market segmentation opportunity for Canon.

I agree most sports shots tend to be on the tele end. But hey, before all this digital bulls__t, those sports pros totting 1vHS and F5 bodies were pretty much shooting in FULL-FRAME using the same lenses. This is why I seriously don't buy Canon's b/s about 1.3x sensor being "made for the sports pro".

Other than cost, nothing, I guess. But you state that they have it. Do you have reliable sources?

Anyway, they don't seem to be in any hurry to put that into a DSLR.

I think it's quite apparent that there's no such big storage card for such big images. Please correct me.

;p

How big do u want? 16GB enough?

hmmm ... that depends on how big a pic can be produced out of a 50mp sensor and that would affect the total number of pics you can store in just one single 16Gb storage card.

:think:

If taken in jpeg, my 5D at 12.7 MP large/fine resolution averages 4MB in size per pic. So theoretically a 50 MP jpeg pic would be around 16MB per pic. So approx. 1000 pics can be taken with a 16GB CF card in 50 MP jpeg.

someone just sent me a 6400 sample pic from D700. $*&%@ me. its unbelievably good. if i had been told it was at ISO 200 or 400, i would have easily believed them.

I had a link to the source in the previous post.

If you have not heavily invested in Canon and want a "FF" Nikon is the better Choice for now.
