Just like Nikon D3/D3X, D2h/D2X--choice of high FPS/low MP or lower FPS/High res. Two different cameras for two different users/markets. Like cars--you can use a sedan to deliver sofas, but it's probably better to use a truck; same with cameras--use the camera to fit the need. Agree with Zac.

Shortly after July 15 when the Canon lens rebates are over expect the release of the Mark 5. Save your green the camera is the ROCKING BOMB.. Your must have camera.. Nikon watch out your about to be left in the dust for 5 years. The Mark 4 is going to be called the Mark 5,,.

It shot 15fps in the cropped mode, and 12.3fps in full format mode. It was also 18 megapixels. That is all I was able to get out of him. He was also using the 70-200mm f2.8 lens.

They only understand that they get a more "zoomed-in" image, and therefore associate it with "reach". A more correct way of thinking about it would be "more detail in the cropped portion at the expense of lost detail at the edges and poorer high ISO performance." But in good light, this doesn't matter much does it? I don't doubt that there are professional applications where the 1.6 crop is more desirable than full frame or 1.3. That said, I am a novice and shoot 1.6 because I plain can't afford FF, and I don't mind the size/weight advantages of a rebel either. “Greater reach” is a misleading way to state it, and I doubt that most people who say that understand the technical concepts involved with the 1.6x crop.

In many tests the 700D seems to show slightly less (or at least, less annoying) noise than the 5DmkII, but the thing that strikes me is that the Canon is doing that with 75% more pixel density. I would think that were Canon to put the 5DmkII sensor tech into a 12-15MP FF sensor it would best the 700D by at least half a stop. Make it 4+ fps and it would be a great general-purpose camera and would rock for family photos (my G6 loses so badly indoors that I'm a bit fixated on high-ISO performance for my next camera).

But the crop sensor aficionados have never claimed that crop gives them greater reach because of greater pixel density, just that it gives them greater reach. But pixel density aside (and that's related to the sensor itself, not solely it's crop/dimensions) crop factor adds nothing in and of itself. No? True, possibly countered with greater noise.

And almost all of them are buying crop cameras, because for the first-time buyer it's a no-brainer! $500 vs. $2500??? The 1.6 crop is not going away any time soon.

My point was that I think the extra reach of cropped sensors is just a fallacy. At the end of the day there's no extra zoom with a crop vs. FF sensor, just detail lost from the edges.
