DSLRs changed my photography for the better like nothing else. Five years and some 25,000 shots later, it's still going strong. Along the way I upgraded to the Canon 30D, which is a fantastic camera as well. When the 40D was announced, I decided to wait until the 50D sometime in 2009, but wanted a newer backup/second body for my photography needs. So when the XSi/450D was announced, it sounded like a perfect fit for my needs. My journey with DSLRs began back in 2003 with the original Digital Rebel.

Sports and sport's broadcasting is a multimillionaire business. And that can affect the manufacturer's decisions, I guess, since they are the providers for the photographers who cover sports all over the world. And the manufacturer wouldn't like to have troubbles when their cameras are intended to be used for the photographers. That could decrease the demand and sales. Someone already suggested some system based on a key card or activation card that would disable the movie mode in any way, but I don't think it would be nice. I guess the easiest way to avoid problems is to specify clearly that any photographer who record video in the field, will be banned/blacklisted. As someone said, I don't guess any Pro would put at risk his career, don't you think? FIFA can obligate the photographers/newspapers to firm a contract too, specifying that if they record video they will suffer a lawsuit (demand, etc) and will have to pay, etc. I guess this "issue" can be easy resolved with contracts. Delaying or not delivering a camera because of its features and economical interest of Sports organizations is crazy, but a prove of the "world" that is behind the "world" of the sports today... All is business, the larger and richer, the more **** behind it might be a complicated topic.

The photographers are doing them a favor by photographing their event. If it weren't for the photographers and videographers, nobody would ever know the stupid event had happened. Fifa should be the one making compromises to ensure that the publicity is still being offered to them. Why not just boycott Fifa?

A 500 camera phone (when they were first created) is not the same as a $8000 Camera. A camera phone has a much larger target market outside of the pro shooters. It's like designing a scalpel that can't be used for surgery... yes there are others that would buy it, but it's not going to be successful if you can't use it for it's #1 purpose. The people who are the 'gotta have it gear heads' with a big budget are the sports shooters. They need all the tech they can get - this camera is aimed squarely at the full pro shooters and to say anything else is naive. Brian Nelson’s above analogy to Cell phones is a bit off base.

Or an 19.1mp with a crop mode 1.3x= 14.7mp. It will be better for the lower 16-19mp range and boost the low noise/high ISO's than having 21.1mp ad same noise as the 5D MK 2. They need to improve over the D3 by at least 2 stops in noise to keep on top. I would say 21.1 mp with crop mode 1.3x =16.2mp. Or an 19.1mp with a crop mode 1.3x= 14.7mp.

Did Nokia or Motorola or whoever was the first to put a camera in a phone ask permission from a sporting or sanctioning body? Those phones shoot video now (not that high grade...but)It seems canon should release the camera and then (like everything else in the world) deal with it then. What?

So what if FIFA says no go... they have to put the cam through the design and testing phase just to remove the function? That will take months to complete the cycle.
