Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / July 2005Re: Canon Eos 1 DS Mark 2 ??
HI I have been consedering buying the canon eos1ds mark 2 for a while. was wondeing since this is a 16.7 megapixel camera what are the chances of canon introducing a newer model maybe like an 18 or 20 megapixel in the next 4-6 months ?? any information will be appricaited . thanks > HI > I have been consedering buying the canon eos1ds mark 2 for a while. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > thanks Pretty strong, since Mamiya, Hasselblad and Pentax have already announced 22mp cameras with larger sensors than the Canon. I believe the Hassy has been released, too, but I may be wrong on that. Of course, they are a bit more expensive than the Canon, about $10,000US...  SignatureSkip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com For some reason, I read "Canon" as "anyone." The likelihood of Canon introducing a camera with more than 16.7 mp is pretty slim, it's still fairly new on the market. As far as introducing a camera with slightly fewer pixels, but at a lower cost, that remains to be seen, but it's a hot one on the grapevine, right now...

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 1DMkIII. There's a gap from 8mp to 16mp that the D2X sits in, at the price point of Canon's 8mp. A 12mp sensor at that price point would be a good competitor for the D2X, particularly at a 1.3ish factor.

Since the 1Ds Mark II has only been on the market for about half a year I would be surprised if they replaced it in the next 4 to 6 months. The other thing that is not clear is what all improvements that might make on the next model, the number of pixels is only part of what make a good camera. For example it would be very nice if they made a camera with all the capabilities of the 1Ds Mark II but was not quite as huge, or maybe add in a live preview mode, or image stabilization build it to the camera. The points is that one should not just look at the number of pixels as being what makes a good camera. My guess is we will see Canon address some of this other issues in the next 1Ds model, and we may or may not see an increase in the number of pixels.

Again the live preview, which isn't offered in any dSLR, and for a reason too! It can't be done, I guess people really want a EVF like a gloried Canon Pro1 > >> HI > >> I have been consedering buying the canon eos1ds mark 2 for a while. [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > too!

This is for astro photography which can have exposures in the hours. >>> >> HI >>> >> I have been consedering buying the canon eos1ds mark 2 for a while. [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >exposure. This is for astro photography which can have exposures in the >hours. This seems to be true - though the Canon datasheet for the 20Da is not entirely clear on this point. The fact is, however, that it could be done quite easily for any DSLR if the manufacturer wanted to do it, by slightly adapting the sensor cleaning mode. It would be incredibly useful for macro work and photomicrography, but unfortunately it seems that these activities do not have enough "mass market" appeal to justify the extra few dollars/pounds it would cost. When I first saw the details of the 20Da, I thought it would be the solution. Alas, it seems not.

You can be assured ... there aren't any. If there were any, they would have been corrected before now. If this is the level of your product knowledge, perhaps you should consider buying something cheaper. the reason i havent bought it as yet is perhaps my product knowledge is a lil weak ... so i asked.. thanks anyways. >>if any in the present model.... > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >If this is the level of your product knowledge, perhaps you should >consider buying something cheaper. >the reason i havent bought it as yet is perhaps my product knowledge is a >lil weak ... so i asked.. thanks anyways. Perhaps you should start with a beginner's camera, such as the Canon EOS 350D (Rebel RT) or Nikon D70, and work upwards from there. i already own a canon 20 d .. i was looking foward to upgrade to the canon eos 1ds mark 2 >>the reason i havent bought it as yet is perhaps my product knowledge is a >>lil weak ... so i asked.. thanks anyways. > >Perhaps you should start with a beginner's camera, such as the Canon >EOS 350D (Rebel RT) or Nikon D70, and work upwards from there. > i already own a canon 20 d .. i was looking foward to upgrade to the canon > eos 1ds mark 2 There is a lot to like about the 1Ds Mark 2, but out of curiosity what are you looking for that the 20D is not giving you?

You're going to be shooting window sills for a feature film and you can't even write or post properly? Damn, the film industry must be dropping their standards.

I am a huge fan of digital cameras, but unless you are going to be shooting a lot of stills for movies posters a MF camera would be more cost effective. The 1Ds Mark 2 will be in many ways a lot easier to use and avoids the need to scan the film later, but it has a pretty high price tag, as you well Scott |
