:hail2thechief: Canon :eek2:
Wow. There are some new cameras coming out from Canon in time for Christmas that will be very impressive. 40D is slated, checking in with 6.5 fps, a new sensor, dust removal, customized image curves for in camera, wifi transmission, weatherproofing, live view, improved AF sensitivity etc... The list goes on.
All for list of $1299. This is a substantial improvement in technology for such an affordable camera.
Also, the G9 is announced, which will be one of the most sophisticated point and shoot cameras around, including RAW! Will be interesting to see how the high ISO noise makes out though...
Anyways, interesting developments, fo' sho'.

18 months ago, the typical product cycle for Canon's gear. 5D and 1Ds have been longer, simply because there is nothing that competes with them.
BTW, the 1DsIII was announced too, but since it will be $8,000, I figured most of us weren't in the market... |

Yeah man, it has a grip that will allow you to wirelessly transmit images to another computer. Especially useful for sports guys, who need to turn images super quick. Or for event shooters who are trying to turn images quick. |

I highly doubt that Nikon will come out with a full frame, that is a canon gimmick. That is all Ill say with out starting a fan boy war. Im hearing rumors of a 80X and 300 and cant wait to hear what the best company has to offer. IM sure Epson and Lexar will follow suit with products to match. |

Too late, already did. Canon gimmick? 'Splain yo'self. Sounds like you've been reading a little too much Ken Rockwell... |

Ill believe it when I see the offical release of which there is none as of today. There appears to be rumors running rampant though that it is already here.
As for the full frame its all about the light to sensor angle, here is one of the better explainations on it....
