They are talking about the 1DS MKII, not 1D MKII.

It's official. 1Ds MkII is announced. Rob Galbriath. :thumbsup:

It's ok. Now with the 1DsMkII it gets pretty confusing.

1DMkII
1DsMkII

Hahahah....

Canon has done it again. I wonder whether they have a spy working in Nikon ... they seem to be able to time the release of their new DSLR's just right.

I know that not everyone here agree with Ken Rockwell's views but here's his take on why the DX format is better than Full Frame. Form your own opinions from it...

Hope this stimulates another healthy discussion, this time on the advantages and disadvantages of FF versus DX format CCD (or CMOS)...

Cheers,

Done what? Releasing a DSLR that's out of consumer's reach?

 

[CAMEDIA]

In 20yrs time, it will become outdated and cheap selling on 2nd hand store. Does that mean that we cant shoot good picture using it 20yrs later? Yes?

So, does it mean that we cant shoot good picture now using 20yrs ago technology?

Hehee.

Not sure if u can get that 20 years later. A small little FM is still working after 25 years of service! errr....u sure the CMOS/CCD of the DSLR still works after 20 years?

Well, it is not meant for consumers at the first place ;p

For commerical work that require such high res and full frame (landscape, architecture) will definitely get this over the other brand

/me run away

Yup, Canon has done it again, to be ahead of every other manufacturer in terms of technological advancement. In terms of technology, it is harder to put 16.7millions sensors over 36 x 24 mm area than 12.4millions over 23.7 x 15.7mm because it is difficult to synchornise the data when the distance from the sensors varies by so much. Keeping the noise level down will be another challenge, which we will see when there are more sample available.

I guess this is relative, and in 35mm terms/price points. Digital back sensors go like 48 x 36mm for 22mp.

But anyway, we all welcome technological advances, be it from Nikon or Canon. Wait till 69Mp/s technology trickles down to consumer bodies for S$2k. :thumbsup: (Nikon is 62Mp/s for D2X)

er.........how much ah??

For commercial/pro landscape and architecture shooters, what makes you think that they are using 35mm in the first place?

 

[Watcher]

er.........how much ah??

Same as the street price of the current 1Ds: US$ 8k. That means that for 25% more pixels and FF capabilities you pay about 50% to 70% more when compared to D2X.

You are right, many of them are medium format shooters.

But in the end I don't get it watcher. Do you think that a larger imaging circle is advantageous or not? One moment you are vigorously defending the 1.5x crop, next moment you are implying that some pros prefer the larger imaging circle of medium format. It seems to me that the only thing that you (and other Nikonians) have against FF sensors is the cost. Beyond that, nobody has made a convincing argument against FF sensors yet.

Right go on then. I've been reading all your posts trumpeting Canon, in threads such as this one in the, erm, Nikon forum.

You and me, right here, let's have a nice logical rational debate as to why FF is superior to a DX format sensor.

And lest Belle&Sebastain think I'm being superior and arrogant and confrontational again, this is not intended as such, just as a trigger to healthy debate. "You and me, right here" is not intended as serious fighting talk, merely in jest. But then, humour always loses its appeal when you have to explain it.
