First look at Canon's 16 megapixel EOS-1DS Mark II

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II

DPNow has a first look at Canon's recently announced professional-series 16.7 megapixel Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II (the name is a wee bit long, but what can you do?), which is an upgrade of the EOS-1Ds, just with double the resolution, 802.11b/g support via an add-on, and new image processing software. If you just have to own the latest, highest resolution digital camera, and have ten large to drop on a digital camera, this would be it. Then again, DPNow does point out that Nikon's 12 megapixel D2X is cheaper, faster, and lighter, so comparisons are bound to happen when both cameras are officially released. Gotta love the rivalry.
