Canon should have lost 5 points to start with - one for every hundred dollars markup over the Nikon.

That reminds how Pop Photo's first announcement danced around the fact that Canon had severely jacked the price. Well maybe not as much as a D3X ...

Yeah, but it bought them 500 comments and who knows how many hits today. -- Sold the (old) half-frame from Thailand. Bought a 700 under my own personal stimulus plan.

"Jumped the Shark". I like that one. ;-))

- where does that Canon GP-E1 fit on the 5DMK2.5? It doesn't? Imagine that. And a new camera too.
D800 - 2 axis level
D800 - most MP EVER in 24x36
D800 - reduced AA option
D800 - and you don't...

If it was the other way around the Cannot fanboys would be reading diatribe like "Canon's revolutionary new sensor wins the MP race".

I think Ken's "family camera" is a bit over-rated LOL. I guess Pop Photo will have tom make them BOTH Camera of the Year now! -- Sold the (old) half-frame from Thailand. Bought a 700 under...

Exactly the same rating as Nikon? In spite of being 500 bucks higher priced? I call BS on this.

Third Generation 5D and they're still having to improve build? Was the first 5D a Rebel? LOL Canon....

If Nikon only listened to it's customers. 12 years on the market without VR. -- Sold the (old) half-frame from Thailand. Bought a 700 under my own personal stimulus plan.

Pre-payment if full? You've got to be kidding. Vi$tek and Henry's don't play that game. You better hope they don't restructure or be sold. Weren't they just sold to a Telco (Bell?) a few years ago?...

That's not as crazy as it sounds.

If Leica made toilet paper it would be $1,250 a roll. A6 sheet sizes of course.

A 'simple" Hasselblad zoom? You mean a medium format zoom lense? Leica have been a joke since I was a kid.

It would go well with the Leica earrings they sell.

So it's taken Leica 33 years to modernize the lense and it'll only cost you 8 grand? LOL

Buy a Canon then.

Do you not mean 30D? I can't believe how you brush off a several hundred dollar price premium compared to the D800 or the available Nikon D800E option. The 5D3 just isn't worth the asking...

Great job as usual.

Cons - add no GPS.
Cons - Price-gouge grip.
Cons - yet another Nikon battery and charger standard.

Ok the tape was the temp fix and a longer band was the real one. Never had the need to have mine done.
