Canon Debuts 8.2-MP, 8.5-FPS EOS-1D Mark II
Canon has announced the EOS-1D Mark II, an amazing addition to the EOS series. The camera features an 8.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, and has the ability to capture over eight frames per second.
The EOS 1D Mark II uses a new generation DIGIC II processor for the processing power needed to maintain the resolution and speed, and boasts a 40 frame JPEG image buffer (20 frames in RAW mode). The combination of CMOS sensor, DIGIC II processor and new buffer system allows the EOS 1D Mark II to shoot and process over 69 megapixels of data per second (or 100 MB/sec).
The EOS-1D Mark II is the successor to the Canon EOS-1D which was introduced at the end of 2001. The new model offers double the resolution of its predecessor, double the size of the continuous shooting buffer and increases continuous shooting speed slightly.
Other modifications to the $4500 model include a new USB port, and a new SD expansion slot in addition to the existing CF slot.
Price is too high for only one year warranty.
Only 6v trigger voltages.
Just a buy D60 or 10D and save the money to buy the 16-35 or the 14.
I can buy a good used car for that price.
Better choices is use film and have the store printed for you and make a copy into a CD. Then put CD into your computer and cheat all those pictures in Photoshop like those pro. Digital photographers are really, and should be called,"PhotoCheater"
Most digital photogarphers are using a APS digital cameras. Over 45% of the outside image is lost due to the lack of chip sensor and the hunger sensor for power from the battery.
Company stated at 1.5 or 1.6 factor...well if they stated a 2.0 factor, you should double the lens by 2X (a 50mm becomes 100mm). Get out of here! My image has just been cut in half!
And I'm hands are holding twice the weight.
