Would a lens hood screw onto the filter then?

It would be fascinating to have access to their road map that’s for sure

Naaa….. not buying into the high MP, high DR camera scenario. High MP yes but I don’t believe Canon will or can come out with a higher DR sensor anytime soon. So what’s left is a high MP version of the 5D3 maybe with or without low pass filter option but I doubt that also, I think Canon are looking at heavy software development to get them out of this one. Existing 5d3 owners won’t be unhappy.

Thanks awinphoto, I actually understood that! 
So what I was describing was actually off topic, apologies for that.

I’m really finding this Auto-ISO thing confusing so I have to admit I don’t use it. If in M mode Auto-ISO is fixed at 400 for some reason (500D), what’s ‘auto’ about that? In Av mode I fix f-stop, camera works out shutter speed for selected ISO  but if in Av with  Auto-ISO it does some kind of black magic to balance two variables instead of one? that just sounds like loosing control? What seems missing to me is some kind of ‘Iv’ mode where given two fixed settings f-stop and shutter speed the camera calculates ISO whatever that value turns out to be. All exposure compensation and bracketing functions would therefore work as other modes. Isn’t an Iv mode a logical extension of digital especially now that the higher ISO ratings are getting so good?

« on: May 18, 2012, 08:05:22 PM »

* of course the list on the uk site is different: they don't even sell the 5D3 there yet!

Exactly so Amazon is no indicator of 5D3 sales, daily, weekly, monthly or whatever and when it does it still wont be

Did you sell all your Nikno gear on e-bay or did you go to a local shop and have it vendored/get other products cheaper?

Should be plenty of peeps on here wanting to buy your Nikon gear, going by many of the threads anyways 

I'm saving for a 5D3 (eta March 2013!) but I have to admit this kind of post really makes me think mmmmm.....

Better hope that it’s not been field tested by the same guys that did the 5D3

Got a 3rd partry for my 500D and have to say has worked fine, even has additional features (timer ect). One thing I will warn about though is the battery tray, do not drop it! the plastic will be very fragile due to design and I'll bet that one will be the same.

Is there any chance the mirror-less camera will use EF lenses?

Hope it won't have video, save on costs (only joking honest  )
