Who are we kidding? The 35mm format is an 'interim camera' for large prints. If you're in the business of prints that large, MF digital is where you should be. 35mm is just compromise format...

I'm not switching...not even considering it. If I would have switched systems everytime somebody had introduced the best DSLR on the market, I'd have switched about 4 times since 2005. I can't...

It's a sad day to see the company that was synonymous with photography in such a state. Few companies in history have had as much impact on their industry as Kodak. While they have been declining...

Tell 'em "because you don't pay me enough to buy a $40,000 camera". -- Check out the new site: http://www.gipperich-photography.com Or the portrait...

I'd have to agree, and I didn't really make that point in my original post. Canon has some very good primes for reasonable prices, but they also have some very mediocre ones that need updating,...

Not from this FF user, ain't happening. The new Tamron 24-70 is looking very good in comparison. -- Check out the new site: http://www.gipperich-photography.com Or the portrait...

Not that it's ever been cheap, but my goodness are prices on top lenses going through the roof! The best zooms 4 years ago: 16-35/2.8 - $1200 24-70/2.8 - $1300 70-200/2.8 IS - $1600 Total:...

We can blame ourselves for this!!!! Since we all keep crying that we wanted 20mp, now 30+ mp, and soon 40+mp cameras so we can finally have 4x5 quality on a tiny (by contemporary standards)...

Amazingly we've managed to get by without all of these features in one camera up till now. How were good pictures possible before this miracle device? -- Check out the new...

I absolutely want one...I'm just not going to buy one :) It's an amazing camera but frankly I have zero interest in switching, I don't play that game. I'm still in a state of awe in how good my...

For me personally I don't have a practical use for more MP than my 5D2. Actually, I don't really need more than the 13 my 5D has. I rarely print larger than 13x19, and my old 5D makes beautiful...

All I can say is...wow! This is a lot of camera Canon needs an answer for. -- Check out the new site: http://www.gipperich-photography.com Or the portrait...

If you go by the marketing jargon the manufacturers put out, then it's not a pro camera. If you go by the real world, there are plenty of pros using 60D and lesser cameras all the time. Pros...

+1 FF takes a bit more care with focusing, practice finding the hyperfocal point with a each particular lens. At f16 you should get focus from foreground to infinity easily under 28mm. Just...

I have no doubts Canon has a 30+mp sensor designed and could be put on the market in a matter of months if they felt pressured to do so. They may feel they don't need it right now and are keeping...

It would still be Canon for me. I initially bought Canon largely for the reason of affordable used FF bodies, the 1Ds served well and my 5D continues to do so. Now I have a 21mp body that cost me...

Apparentyl enough users think the 18mp 1Dx is going to be sooooooo much lower in resolution they must hoard the last of the high res 1Ds3 bodies before they vanish forever...at any...

Yes, but low end MF back then costs about the same as FF and L glass does now. $3K for a body and $2K for a prime lens. FF is the modern MF system for affluent amatuers and pros. I actually...

Because of the vast lens systems available, I think Canon and Nikon systems will exist for a loooong time yet. A mirrored 'SLR' camera may be ancient history soon, but bodies that will take...
