As a consequence, the real reach advantage of the 20D over the 5D is NOT 1.6X, but 1.28X (the factor of pixel density or pixel pitch). And that is before taking into account the AA filter, which is recognized to be weaker on the 5D, yielding sharper per-pixel pictures.

The fact that most 1.6x crop cameras have more reach is that they can afford to have more pixel density, because a full-frame with that pixel density would be too expensive, but as far as 1.3X and FF is concerned, this is not a practical rule.]]>Mar 9th 2007 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/

2 mp more should be nice as well for whole spread shots. Faster more accurate AF is always worthwhile.

I want this camera... ]]>Mar 8th 2007 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/Mar 8th 2007 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/Mar 8th 2007 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/
I can't see how the live lcd would be that useful for professional photographers really. I guess if you were shooting in a crowd and wanted to hold the camera above your head, but it would have to have an amazing lcd for it to be usable with manual focus.

I wonder if its going to be 12 or 16 megapixels?]]>Mar 8th 2007 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/Another important upgrade on this model is the amazingly noise-free ISO 3200 and even more amazing ISO 6400.

ISO 3200 and a 1.2 aperture is pretty close to night vision. 3200 @ 1.2 = perfect hand-held flash-less shots taken while floating through Pirates of the Caribbean!

Some 3200 @ 1.2 examples (look for night/dark/fire):

I don't understand why they haven't gone for a full frame sensor though.

@kezeka: Uh... may I complain about the typical DSLR viewfinder then? (probably not the one of this beast though...). Usually they are tiny and dark. Compare that to for example the Nikon FM2 viewfinder... bright, large, and with this wonderful piece of glas that makes manual focusing really easy. THAT's a viewfinder.]]>Mar 8th 2007 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/

Wasn't going to upgrade from my Mark II but the big improvements they've made, and 10MP is more than enough, means that I need start saving :O)]]>Mar 9th 2007 5:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/hands-on-with-canons-eos-1d-mark-iii-dslr/May 26th 2007 4:29AM
