Opinion: this camera is fantastic....and so hard wearing, in the studio, 20 000 shots in 2 months..no complaints from the camera...i have dropped it countless times, many people have used it, i have had it on the beach with me...brilliant
Problems: need a good card reader or IEEE1394 (firewire) card, transfer can be slow, LCD image viewing screen on back can be hard to see in bright light, file size only 5.6 Mb (not as high as i would have liked) need to update computer software with camera firmware, otherwise images can't be viewed unless converted to JPEGs within the camera (1min per picture)
Opinion: Best camera in its class by a mile. I can use this in the studio
at the same speed as I would my normal EOS1n. I use the
camera tethered most times so the client can revue their
images. The DCS Plug in works a street in this situation.
Problems: Slow with internal firewire on a G4 powerbook though works
find with a firewire card. DCS plug in is not recordable as an
action in photoshop 6
Opinion: very good camer hope to hope to have bigger files with same speed
Problems: well not really big problems but better to have more heavyduity bodies and longer life battries
Opinion: This is a great camera. I bought mine (AP surplus) for
$1500 with all original accessories plus two batteries and
two memory cards. I shoot for a small daily newspaper and I
got fed up with how slow the D30 was to focus and shoot. I
lost a little image size, but I more than made up in camera
performance. Now I feel like a pro again, shooting the way I
like to shoot. The camera had 22,000 actuation on it when I
got it, and I've already put a thousand more on it in the last
week. Having a 1N based digital body with E-TTL is just
short of a miracle to me. This is a great, fast camera. Two
memory card slots? Available GPS functions? Direct
cell-modem transmission? Why didn't I buy one of these
sooner? Oh, yeah - they were $12,000.
Problems: The built-in JPEG processing is a bit slow, but that's not
something I use now that I'm more familiar with importing
and working with the raw TIFF files. The NiCd pack life is a
little low - they usually last about a day (around 100-150
shots), though the NiMH battery I just got is great. And the
NiCds are a bit old now, having been put into service three
years ago and having been used hard since, so I can't
complain. The spot meter seems to be off a bit, taking more
of the surrounding area into account than the focusing
screen circle would indicate.
