    I wonder if that will get Canon to lower their 1DsII price?

    Awesome camera, and better price than I had thought. I'm still happy with my D2H & D70 combo. I'd still like to see the D100 upgrade sometime soon.

    Thanks for the info.

    It's sort of a 'tweener, at 12mp compared to 16. ne_nau.gif

    No FF either. The 1Ds mkII is still in its own class, someone needs to create a competing camera first.

    If anything I would think it might push down the price of the 1DmkII. ne_nau.gif Did Nikon post some real samples? I hope they can create files that looks as good as Canon's at high ISOs.

    At 12.4MP it is not full frame? I thought it was!

    I did pay with the camera at CES last weekend. The Nikon guy asked me tons of questions about what I would want to see in the software. I feel this camera will take use of the software the way Windows makes use of the registry.

    They should make it with a full size sensor!

    • Full size image: 1.5x field of view crop
    • High speed cropped: 2.0x field of view crop

    23.7 x 15.7 mm CMOS sensor


    I wonder if they have redesigned the viewfinder to have a larger visual image, as you would see with a standard 35mm camera, not just a cropped image?
