I'm sure it will, it's just a question of when, maybe Xmas 2012? But hell if you can pay $3300 you should be able to pay $3500.
I had the 50/1.8 (with my 400D) and it was a good start, but I couldn't arrange with the focal length.
It was too close for me indoors, and even outdoors it was either too close or not close enough! That's the reason I bought a 28mm and right after that the 100mm, so I walk around with one of them :-). The 28mm gives me a nice to use 44mm full frame equivalent.
I'll probably will get a 50mm when I am going full frame, but as said the 80mm full frame equivalent didn't suit me, and now I am wondering for what you are using the 7D + 50mm indoors? :-)
50mm can be use on crop bodies as a portrait lens. 85mm can be used for head shots. The 50 and 85 on a crop would be similar to the 85 and 135 on a full frame. It takes some getting used to if you're used to shooting wider focal lengths, but the change in perspective can be refreshing.
I was only talking from a pure marketing BS perspective that they must beat sony to get the win at best buy.
So if the native ISO is 2 stops higher then the D800s, what do we think this means in practice?really? what do you think it means? we can take cleaner pictures is lower light.
I'd guess he means what do you think it will mean to ISO performance at the settings the D800 and the 5D mk3 will share.
How on earth can anyone tell this from a spec list? It could mean that the 5D MkIII sensor is two whole stops more sensitive than the D800, or it could just be marketing blah blah. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and I think that we'll have to wait a few more weeks/months yet for the side by side comparisons, my guess is that you may get an extra stop.
It does not mean that it's 2 stops better than the D800 because that would require something beyond 100% QE.
It is for sure just marketing.
I haven't read through the whole thread so forgive me if I'm asking something that has already been addressed. But is anyone else curious as to the purpose of the CR1616 battery listed in the box contents? That's a nickle-sized, flat disc type battery.
A CR1616 battery is 16mm in diameter and 1.6mm thick (nominal sizes of course). A CR2032 is 20mm across and 3.2mm thick, and so forth for all 3.0v lithium batteries. CR1025, CR1216, CR1220, CR1225, CR1616, CR1620, CR1632, CR2016, CR2025, CR2032, CR2320, CR2325, and CR2430.
OK, so it's dime size. Didn't have one in front of me to measure. Just looked at photo of it when I googled CR1616.
Just a little info.
