What will we do after Feb 27/28?

This new body looks like a great camera.

It is also what I was expecting, all depending on what the FPS is, and I am guessing somewhere around 7.

If I wanted to buy a 5D MKII and a 7D, that is a $4100 proposition for the most part, so with a list of $3500, we will probably see $3200 and maybe $2900 by the holidays.

I expect IQ to be better than the 5D, the AF looks much improved, and I am fine with 22MP.

Will I buy? Eventually... Maybe around the holidays... I have plenty of time to wait and see what the big MP camera that Canon releases is.

This camera may not have the reach of the 7D that many like, but something tells me the IQ on this is going to be great, the AF better than the 7D, and if it has better weather sealing, and similar FPS... This is basically a best of both worlds camera.

I believe your camera already has better than that. I've heard around 7 stops "static" dynamic range for the eye. It appears much more because we constantly adjust "exposure." I.e., constant HDR.

I don't think so. I can see way more than my camera or at least I perceive that way. for instance, I can clearly see what's outside my window and see the interior of this dark room properly exposed. I don't get blown skies and highlights. Just shot with my camera and the room is either under exposed and clipped to black, or exposing for the room and the outside is blown out. Also if you notice, your eye can ajust to light on parts of the image unlike sensor where all sites are set to the same sensitivity. Just look at a light for a few seconds and then look at a solid gray wall. notice the patch?

freaking human eye FTW.

I agree with that because it gives us the illusion of DR so seamlessly.

I just heard the 3D will have virtually no noise when shooting at ISO 104k and a framerate of 60fps. APS-H sensor at 75MP. The ultimate in Wildlife photography.
Canon is also apparently working on a 300-1600mm f/2L IS USM zoom lens that's made out of carbon-fiber and only weighs 2kgs.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

One can dream right? ???

While we wait to get a sensor equivalent of that of the human eye,
shall we beg Canon for something like this in the meantime?

Why do we need photography again? Just turn it on, and choose your shots later ...

8192 × 4320 pixels at 120 frames per second ... Imagine this will be mainstream in 20 years ... O_O ...

They didn't publish RAW from that so it doesn't count :)
