Good for you.
I would agree that the body is very good.
When you switch it off, you get noise. Something you get much less of with a full frame camera. You do get what you paid for. Noise or loss of detail. Take your pick.
Rent one? Thanks but no thanks. I would much rather save my money and buy some ice cream with it.
I can try to figure out what flavor to get or I have to decide whether to accept noise or a lack of details. Wonder why Nikon has to market a full frame, because people who can be fooled all of the time are getting fewer by the day. Those people who can only be fooled some of the time as saying no more high pixel count APS-C models. LOL.The high ISO performance of the D300 is top class for an APS-C camera. So what you are saying would go for any other APS-C.

Actually is relevant for me...I have been a Canon user for more than 5 years and after almost 3 years of waiting for a 5D successor I know that Canon does not take care of its customers...yeah, you can argue that the 5D never had to be replaced because it never had a direct competitor...but what about us benefiting from the latest and best technology possible from them? I think nowadays technology moves very fast and three years makes any camera obsolete...
So, yeah I am fed up with canon and since Nikon has decided to make FX sensors I will be no longer an EOS user....

I have had the 5D for 2 years now and am still not waiting for the replacement.

When it comes to Anastigmat you are probably right.

This would be good news for all. Every Nikon advancement puts more pressure on Canon to improve. I know they are up to the task.
yes true: Canon should make customers happier rather than thinking only about perfect sales...
BUT don't forget how many years nikon users had to wait for a new D100!

So what you are saying is that in the Canon forum we should never talk about the direct competition because it is irelavent for all true Canon users. Because of course why would a Canon user ever care about anything else. LOL...

Great points. The FF market is Finally picking up momentum and the competition is great! Hopefully $7000-$8000 FF anything will become a thing of the past as more players enter the arena.
If Nikon's new 24 MP flagship undercuts the 1DSIII in price but not performance that will continue to drive the prices downwards for everyone ! Even the Canon fanboys will have something to sing about;-P

This is interesting and if true, will heat things up in the affordable FF segment.
My hope is that Canon does the 5D replacement right and doesn't muck it up. The biggest mistake would be more MP's just for the sake of it. Like Canon did with their UWA years ago making it 16mm instead of 17 to one-up Nikon. IMO keeping the new 5D at 13 MP but with all the new sensor design and processing technologies and adding better AF, weather sealing, high res LCD, etc. would make a killer camera. It appears the market is finding 12 to 13MP FF as the sweet spot as demonstrated by the 5D's following and now the D3. There would be little to no real benefit in 16 vs 13 MP's but a ½ or even 1 stop noise improvement would be useful and welcome. Many don't need or want the big files associated with more MP's and would prefer the advancement to be in lower noise and DR. I know I would.
That's my $0.02.

A few posts ago I suggested that it was feasable for makers to go for a single FF sensor rather than stick with a variety of sizes. I assumed that FF sensor prices would reduce purely through the the economies of scale. I also summised that with FF that if one wanted a crop for longer focal lengths that this feature could be included. The D3 cam up with no less than 3 resolution/crop options and the 1D MKIII with an SRAW option. Could it be that if this camera is genuine that it is a sign that FF will become the standard (with all the benefits that come with it)?

Maybe the question should be: Why would anyone care about guesses, rumors, and wild speculation that has no basis in fact?
Does anyone around here actually take pictures, or do you all just worry about what new toy may be coming out and how the other company might respond to it?
You know, come to think of it, I think Canon is going to quit the camera business and sell tortilla chips instead. I wonder how Nikon will respond?
In the meantime, I'm not going to eat any tortilla chips until this is all settled. I wouldn't want to buy a bag of chips only to find out later that a better bag of chips can be bought. Besides, I want to be sure to stay loyal to my chosen chip company and I will keep arguing endlessly that they will always respond to good chips with better chips, and at a lower price.
