Advertisement Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Hi billh, Take a look here Leica lenses on this Canon 21 Mpixel 1Ds MkIII should be superb. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
marknorton Posted August 19, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2007 Gosh, also sets the benchmark for the R10 (and the D3X). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrgeoffrion Posted August 19, 2007 Share #3 Posted August 19, 2007 Amazon.com: Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III 21.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only): Camera & Photo I had two 1Ds Mark II when they came out. Those of you know there was a major cluster f**k with this camera as it lost images... Not pleasant for a Pro. They eventually came up with a fix, but in the process really upset many pros (including myself) by totally denying having any knowledge of the problem. Now, the 1D mark III has reported AF issues. I personally would stay away from any Canon body until about 5 months after the release so that the beta users can find the bugs... The beta users being the early adopters.

robsteve Posted August 19, 2007 Share #4 Posted August 19, 2007 If I was going to spend $8,000 for a body to use my Leica lenses on, I would probably just spend it on a Leica R10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4season Posted August 19, 2007 Share #5 Posted August 19, 2007 At 1205 grams minus battery, lens and CF card, this is probably not something I'd want to carry everywhere: My back is okay, and I'd like to keep it that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted August 19, 2007 Share #6 Posted August 19, 2007 I have limited interest in Canon because of my investment in Nikon glass and it will certainly be interesting to see Nikon's response. There's talk of a Nikon announcement this week (isn't there every week?), but the two will show what the R10 is up against. I wonder how much soul-searching that will cause in Solms. Or mabye, wry smiles and knowing glances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carstenw Posted August 19, 2007 Share #7 Posted August 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I will be very curious to see how many Canon lenses will stand up to the scrutiny of a 21MP sensor staring through them. I suspect that the hunt for better lenses will only intensify, with Leica and Zeiss prices going up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted August 19, 2007 Share #8 Posted August 19, 2007 Well, yes, you can imagine the Canon will capture the chromatic aberation in exquisite detail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgcd Posted August 19, 2007 Share #10 Posted August 19, 2007 Bill - I hope you're well. Thanks for posting this. Looks interesting, and the specs are impressive. However, as you may suspect, I remain thoroughly unmoved by any Canon offerings with respect to R lenses. The only viable solution for me with respect to my R lenses are real Leica R bodies (DMR, R10 when it comes out, but honestly my DMR fits the bill as far as I'm concerned). Industry watchers have indeed been expecting this kind of announcement from Canon and perhaps soon Nikon, I am convinced that Leica has positioned future R developments to take this into account.

adan Posted August 20, 2007 Share #13 Posted August 20, 2007 Well, I notice Canon also introduced a redesigned 14mm (precisely to improve full-frame super-wide imaging?) If they do the same for the 20 f/2.8 and 24 f/2.8 (designs pushing 20 years old in EOS), then there may not be much CA to record. I notice the pixel pitches are getting pretty small - the 40D is down in the Olympus E1 range at 5.4 microns. Be interesting to see how Canon's low-noise reputation holds up under that strain. No 5D replacement - yet. But a bit discouraging to me that the 40D still does not add the SD-card option of the 1-series - likely the 5D replacement won't either. I wonder if a 5D upgrade is just around the corner, or whether Canon feels they'll have enough to do just digesting the 40D/1DsIII demand for a few months. Interesting pricing scheme - same price in either dollars or Euros - which gives us US buyers a - what? - 25-35% advantage? Speaking of which, at $1,299 with all the new features (dust-removal, bigger finder, live-view), is the D40 a D200 killer? As an ecstatic M8 user, it's fun to watch the SLR race as a distinterested observer. No question Canon is innovative and willing to push the envelope in many directions (and it's to be expected that occasionally the envelope will push back, as in the case of 1DIII focusing). I can afford to wait for the Nikon (1x crop, 1.1x crop?) or Leica shoes to drop before jumping in, so I will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carstenw Posted August 20, 2007 Share #14 Posted August 20, 2007 I have heard a strong rumour from a guy who knows a Nikon employee that the D3x will have a 1.1x crop factor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted August 20, 2007 Share #15 Posted August 20, 2007 Interesting pricing scheme - same price in either dollars or Euros - which gives us US buyers a - what? - 25-35% advantage? The European prices probably include sales tax (though that varies from country to country) and the US prices don't. That reduces the difference but still a clear advantage for US buyers. Plus ca change! I don't expect the D200 to be around for much longer - discounting and free software to clear stock already and it's reasonable to expect Nikon to announce replacements for the D2Xs and D200 soon.

zapp Posted August 20, 2007 Share #16 Posted August 20, 2007 The good news is that live view is coming and that medium format backs should become less expensive - Pixelpressure. A 21 MP sensor in 24x36 mm format with inferior lenses and heavy low pass filters is no match qualitywise for a back with an optimized lens, but sure enough Canon will sell and dominate the marked.

Have you seen how it performes agains the P25 or P30 ? Probablly not, because it you would have you would be more careful with thatv statement ;-) On the rest, I think it's nice. I still own my 1DsMk2 and it's a fantastic camera. I use it for longer lenses, and sorry guys but for example the 70-200 f4, is better than anything I tested from Leica so far in that range. Yes on the wide end it's kind of different, but we therefor is my Leica 19mm.. Oh and yes I also own Leica glass and M8... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosuna Posted August 20, 2007 Share #18 Posted August 20, 2007 I will be very curious to see how many Canon lenses will stand up to the scrutiny of a 21MP sensor staring through them. I suspect that the hunt for better lenses will only intensify, with Leica and Zeiss prices going up again. This new 35FF sensor has a pixel spacing of 6,4 microns. It is a typical density in Canon's cameras. It is the same density of the APS-C sensors with 8MP. You can check the performance of a R lens on this type of sensor using a 20D or 30D camera.

Venkman Posted August 20, 2007 Share #20 Posted August 20, 2007 Yep, 1600 is max, there seems to be an option to push to 3200.
