I wonder if it will have the same green-screen display and the focus point problems as the D800?
This new D600 still doesn't sway me enough to trade out of my 5D3.

I just wonder how many people will actually use the crop mode over a long period of time? For example, a user who own a D3200 with quite a number of DX lens decided to upgrade to D600 while he'll slowly upgrade to FX lens... then suddenly realized in DX mode, he only had 10MP on D600 while his old D3200 had 24MP... hmm... I'm not sure about others, but for me, I'll not be very happy during the transition time. If I'm a Nikon user ready to upgrade to a FF DSLR, I'll first upgrade all my len to FX lens before getting a FF DSLR.verysimplejason said:I think it's not only the price. Upgraders from APS-C will find Nikon offering much easier to take. Imagine if you're invested in DX (AF-S) glasses. You can still take D600 and little by little upgrade your lenses. It's besides the fact that it's offering it at almost the same price of 5D2. Wow!
So, for me, a FF DSLR offering a crop mode is not attractive at all, unless when using crop mode, the FF DSLR can achieve a much higher frame rate then that's another story.
Have a nice day.

Aglet said:But with 4 Nik bodies already on hand I can certainly wait to see what Canon's response will be and how each of these new "budget" FF bodies perform on the test charts.

torger said:A major part of the manufacturing cost is the sensor, large sensors are exponentially more expensive than smaller ones. With today's sensor manufacturing technology a full-frame camera cannot approach the price of an APS-C camera.
pakosouthpark said:if canon could surprise us with better specs and same price.. but it won't. let's see what they come up with..
But must at least higher than the manufacturing cost, right?? Unless they just want to get the market shareCharlieB said:torger said:A major part of the manufacturing cost is the sensor, large sensors are exponentially more expensive than smaller ones.

Just a little lesson in manufacturing economics. The cost of manufacturing has nothing - repeat - nothing to do with the price that any product sells for in the marketplace.
The price in the market, even as "suggested" by the manufacturer is always based on feedback from the market - thats you and me. The lifecycle of a product is not from the ground up, but from the final concept down. Marketing at a company decides it needs a product with feature set "X" at price point "Y" to compete. This is all based on marketing research, focus groups, informed decisions, and gut level feelings of the marketing department. At that point, they go to manufacturing and say "build us this....(whatever)". There may be some back and forth, especially when new technology will need to be brought in. The back and forth is more or less to determine the scale of the expected propduct - its product life, the number of units, how they can also use technology in other products... that sort of thing. At the end of the day - manufacturing's job is to build marketing's product, and do it at the lowest possible price, so that they make the most money. In a company the size of Canon, manufacturing is a seperate company within a company, with their own bottom line. They sell to marketing, which in turn has its own bottom line... but... always.... the actual "cost" to make anything, has no effect on its sale price. The price is always determined by market conditions. Always.

but how about a 7D who's original price point wasn't too far off this? They have a D800 to match the 5D3Bennymiata said:I wonder if it will have the same green-screen display and the focus point problems as the D800?

dstppy said:Okay, so where's that "it's gonna be $1500, canon's gonna poop their pants" guy now?
So, we've got a camera that's $300 more than and basically a 'single step up' from the 4 year old canon. I'll pass.
Seriously, 6D could simply be what was posted: 7D AF, digic V+ FF and sell for $2500 without issue.
Boy, I'm glad we were prepared with thread-upon-thread about how this camera was going to put Canon out of business :
