Am I missing something, the 40D does have the same auto focus as the 50D does it not?

That’s simple. Because Canon wants you to buy 1D.

To me it makes a sense. As far as I know, you can choose only some of those points, but those points do get some assist from the cluster of the points around them. Imagine multiple small versions of the current 9-point AF to choose from. That’s the key to accuracy! Not just one or two AF baselines guesstimating the focus in the peripheral parts of the AF area. That’s the secret of the many-point AF systems.

Do you think Nikon “crammed” D3 AF into D300? I don’t think so.

What a tard, of course, the 1DS MK III is not build for sports, like the 1D serie.. It’s pretty slow like the 5D markIII and to slow car racing or something. That fool compared 1Ds MKIII and 50D ahah that’s is a joke => CR0 ^^

Any mention to video mode ?

having used both cameras in the real world I find the 6400 of both to be ok – nothing special. when you consider that $ difference between the two cameras and where they fall in the respective line ups it becomes pretty clear that Canon still has the advantage. The 1D3 is nearly a year older than the D3 (little more actually) and the ISO is still very close. The new 1D will be in the 20 range and run 2 digic 4’s meaning it can easily move at 8-10 fps in raw at that resolution.
There is always the possibility of a Digic 5 that will be even faster and cleaner as well…

The main point was that to arbitrarily say that at 21 they lose the ISO is still wrong…The 5D2 is a sub 3000 dollar camera that can shoot usable (certainly for photojournalism needs) 6400’s – the new 1D will be better…

the reason this news is really weird is that full frame cameras are what need more auto focusing points. im saying this of course because the sensor is much bigger, there is more to use, eather spread the focusing points out canon or make more of them on the full frame cameras (5d)

a) that is a point of contention involving the usefulness of downsizing and upsizing

b) if they sued the same technology with less resolution then they could make a much cleaner sensor, which is more important than the additional (i think mkIV will be 15MP) resolution. If they give it a 21 MP sensor I have to question if Canon pays attention to market feed back.

the basis of comparison shouldn’t be 5d2 to mkIII, rather 5d2 to D3, thats the kind of ISO performance Canon is going to need to remain competetive within sports and photojournalism.

I think the 50D already has those points and that is why its Af is ‘better’ than the 40D (I have not used either camera). I could be wrong though.

since the 5D2 has better ISO performance than the 10MP 1D3 i don’t know where that argument comes from. It holds no weight in the real world.
