I’m no expert, and I’m bummed to say because I want one, but it appears that the images were photoshopped:

Hopefully those links will work. If not, just put the image’s URL into fotoforensics.com and you’ll see the areas of the image that appear to have been modified.

Continued, from previous post, ( re: articulated LCD ). I was always taught that the larger pixels gather light better than smaller ones. Wouldn’t 12-18 MP be more effective than 21-38 MP’s? Assuming the same size sensor. ( F/F– 24 X 36 MM ). The Nikon 38 MP seems like severe overkill !

I really wish they would put in a articulated LCD. I’ve used one for several years now, and find it REALLY useful & allowing more creative compositions. Not every shot is best at eye level. Subsequently, I don’t want to get down on my stomach, or knees to get a shot that all you otherts are to lazy to get.

I have to admit that the last couple of ”upgrades” from Canon have been a bit disappointing. Does it have touch screen auto focus? If not then scrolling through 61 focus points is going to be too slow. I mostly do portraits so manual works better most of the time. Here’s hoping the market is flooded with some nice, used 5D MKII’s so I can upgrade from my 50D.

Haha! Mine is on 2nd too. Hope the rumours come true and the price for the MKII drops abit. :-)
Happy birthday!

Well the high ISO alone for me will justify the 1DX (wedding photography) and of course I love the 5D Mk II so a can’t wait to for the Mk III. Will relegate the Mk II and the 7D as backups and BTS video. Not to forget that the 1.6 crip on the 7D will still come in handy for certain situations.

Oh – can’t wait for the new flashes!!! Next couple of months will be fun, funny thing my birthday is March 2 – happy birthday to me from Cannon. Now if I could just get them to send me something for free!

Nyaj, your right on on the transmitter. that what make me upgrage in a sec. on the plus side, if they will use CF+SD, you can tether using Eye-Fi cards. but ideally it would be nice to have a transmitter that doesn’t cost 700$-800$ more like now

as you said, the big plus with 1DX is speed 14fps vs 5-6fps on 5D – thats a make or break for sports

Finally the Mark 3. But man, the price hikes these days! Almost $2,500 for the new 24-70 zoom? And then $3,000 for the Mark 3? I don’t recall the Mark 2 starting at 3 grand. And does my complaining about it make me less of a pro? All of my gear has been paid by my work and I refuse to get in more debt than I already am just so I can look and (and possibly feel) more professional than the next.

Ok, the Gear Gas passed; I’m better now.
