How can you get 18mp into an APSC cropped sensor?

One pixel at a time :)

At the same pixel density we might end up with something in the range of 40MP to 50MP in the 1Ds4 :eek: (although I'd rather have less pixels and more dynamic range!)

Is this aimed at the same crowd as the 50D? I was looking at buying a 50D but now I'm intrigued by the new 7D =).

Not that it really matters, I wont be getting it until I'm out of college (and debt :o )

This 7D will be 5.4mp/cm2. The 50D (which is not without critics) is 4.5mp/cm2. The 5DMk1 is 1.5mp/cm2. I know technology has improved, but not that much.

its hard to believe that its only gonna be $1699.00 as estimated by Canons website..
May have to return my 50D...Again,,,and get one of these,,,or maybe both....:):)

whats the MP on the 5dMKI? is that the 5D version that you use?


Maymia or however u spell it has a 28MP camera only costs 14K,,,so I guess they figured out a way to stick that many pixels on a sensor,,,maybe Canon is just catching up?

oh and a 33 MP for 19K....incase anyone is intrested,,,hehe

Apparantly so :)

Perhaps the "secret" is the concept that they're previously only taken the pixel density to what they felt was needed from a marketing perspective, rather than a technological one.

In my opinion the "MP Wars" whould have ended pretty much when they sailed past 8MP. I was showing a chap some of my 22 x 33" vertical shots today - some taken with an 8MP camera - some with a 10MP - and some with a 21MP camera ...

... you really can't see the difference.

The original 5D is "only" 12MP, but on a full frame sensor. The relatively low pixel density contributed greatly to it's excellent low noise characteristics.

The 5DMk1 is 1.5mp/cm2, the 5DMkII is 2.4mp/cm2

The Mamiya camera has a sensor size of 44mmx33mm as it's medium format. A total area of 15cm2. So with 28mp that's 1.5mp/cm2. The same as the Canon 5d Mk1.

I'm more interested in the new Canon 100 macro.

try to stay on topic jim...lol:):):)

If it is only gonna sell for $1700, what did the skimp on to drop the "technology" mark-up?

Sorry,Kevin:o The 7D looks interesting,especially the AF point system.HD video capability sounds nice,but I would never use it.
I'm very pleased with the 50D and I am now contemplating a FF body to go with it.I just need to do some research on what body to get.If I hadn't moved from my 40D to the 50D,I would most likely buy the new 7D.

I have a 50D, and just bought a used 5D for £800 (not sure what that is in dollars). You can get them now the 5DMk2 is selling. I find the 5D goes great with the 50D, as they are suitable for different applications, just so long as your lenses are OK on both. I had to change one lens.

Used 5D goes from $1,200 US up $1,500.5D II around $2,500 used.Only have 2 Ef-S lenses,so I'm in pretty good shape with the others I own.I will need something wider than what I have in Ef lenses.50mm is the widest I have at the moment.

That's easy ...

Small budget = 2nd hand 5D

Medium budget = New 5D2

Large budget = New 1Ds3

No budget = film camera :)

Calumet photo is taking preorders now... I was amazed that a Canon battery is 89.99...

InCase yah wanna order me one --> :):) http://www.calumetphoto.com/item/EC2...f%20vCjC-Cm5Bf
