Um, 3:2 is a RECTANGULAR format…so why is the glass round?

Why TVs are 4:3 and 16:9?
Why PAL is 25fps and NTSC is 29.97?

Standards!

the 3:2 format is a photo standard, plain and simple. But there is other like 6×6 medium format.

you know I wondered why the lenses are round and the film/sensors rectangular?

The Tecnology Is For The companies not for consumers

Square sensor for round glass

and Square photo haaa the gimic

Square sensor , Square Lenses , give results inimaginable
better noice to signal per pixel
better and real signal not boost
better and less aberrations
better cost of poduction
better sharper per pixel
better and easy effisiense of the combination of both
better macro
better telephoto
better all
Lenses are classified by the curvature of the two optical surfaces. A lens is biconvex (or double convex, or just convex) if both surfaces are convex.

not a nikon troll
not a sony troll

and yes a Canon user
and make a living 100% of 100%

you need to remember the reliabitity of your working aquipment and the mantenance of your tools is what you earn and quote
Im tire of easy shots blurry or portrate whit noice or upsss the sensor is defective or error 99 or to much time prossesing
remember 49% of the time the user dont now what is the correct funsionality of the camera

i now exacly what and how
how many micro seconds for focus
how many micro seconds for start up
buffer , lense movement , tear and wear , 300,000 shutter live Haaaaa Haaaa ,
1- test # 1 take your camera and move the lense in the soket
the lense is not supose to move because of the gold and micro short sircuit
please dont put your lense in oder body all cameras work in diferent electronic signals the diferense is mesured whit special equipment
you goin to see how many variant of the same camera same body same all
make example
thake all your body

f5.6 isso 400 what ever speed in a tripod
take a shot of a car color red

none of the bodys is goin to take the same color none and never ( the quality control is very super Bad Dont tell dont ask ) chek in photoshop go open you photo take the paint buket tool in color piker use the dropelet and mesure the red take the numbers and go to the next photo

and you see the super diferense no quality control

no a canon fan and i work whit canon gear and im very disapoint whit canon
im always read and read and i need 6400 iso in 45% of the time canon under estimate me in 100% of the time and i now by a super very extrem sourse 1d mark iv is the same tecnology and very disapointing ( dont ask dont tell )
because of the money ( and 3 years of production like a promess ) over a 7500 case of complain about focus and gess what canon always said is a user error and today for canon is 50% of user error (PLEASE MAKE THE SHUTTER OF KEVLAR NOT PLASTIC HELLO HELLO im professional not a fan )
canon never never agree of a problem ( only in back stage ) in the end like a 5DII is super good not fantastic and jaw breaker ( same old tecnology diferent prosesor open and you see for your self ) this is the true is hide for money porpose
15mp is wroong and gess what canon said i dont care consumer buy any way ( remember GM and all usa maker give a chance to toyota and in 20 years toyota take all because of the same mistake of canon )Read history and you and me in 10 years change of brand to NIKON , Sony , Pentax , Olympus or ???? what ever give me a better Trust and reliable remember the peaple are talking and this is the last chance canon have
the 1D MARK IV or what ever call is not a big deal only surpas Nikon in a few not a lot
CANON IF YOU READ THIS DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO DONT OVER ESTIMATE YOUR CUSTOMER
OR I HAVE TO TALK FACE TO FACE LIKE THE PAST
IM NOT UP GRADE UNTILL I SEE WHAT YOU HAVE

and then there’s economics…

People are asking for essentially a D3x as a 1D Mark IV.

it wouldn’t be around the 4 to 4.5K now would it? ;)

if canon would remove the 1Ds (as such a body 24Mp FF, 1.3, 1.6 say High speed shooting) .. there’s no need anymore for a 1Ds.

so that body would most likely float above the 1D price and perhaps as high as the 1Ds.

because you can’t really sell a 1Ds with say 30Mp FF, and a 1D at 24Mp FF with a 8K and 4.5K price respectively .. and thanks to nikon, canon has no incentive to even come close to changing that price structure.

You’re right. It’s not easy and might not be possible. But I tought 8.5fps @ 8.2mp was impossible 5 1/2y ago. I would like Canon to come up with something revolutionary this time. Not only a +2mp +2fps like the 1D3 is to the 1D2

But anyway, I need a new body and differences between the 1D4 and 1D2 will be enough to justify the switch. APS-H or FF. But would I prefer FF? yeah.

doing the math, that’s a 24Mp FF sensor.

current canon tech (DIGIC IV) running dual puts that at a under 5.5 fps.

and we’re of course assuming (blindly) that nikon didn’t toss a patent on that high speed crop mechanism that exists in their Dx series bodies. so there’s alot of assumptions that canon CAN implement a function, that may or may not be even legal for them to do so.

If you notice, for canon making smaller RAW’s .. it’s not a “crop” of the sensor, but a resolution difference.

and if you do that .. what’s a 1Ds body then?

just a few more FF Mp’s?
