Why are there no comments regarding the little "eye control" label in the lower right hand corner??? I thought Canon gave up on this many years ago...

Taffy Johnson September 23, 2012 - 3:57 am

Blake Danchik September 23, 2012 - 4:26 am

WOW

Blake Danchik September 23, 2012 - 4:26 am

Did anyone else notice that It has a 40mm 1.2 L lens? It might just have been photoshopped but that could be another give away to canon's new gear.

That's the first thing I noticed.

this pic has been around the web for years already

What the point of medium formats now ??? lol

stefanhellbergDOTcom September 23, 2012 - 7:13 pm

same as the past 6 month. It looks good and some clients just hire medium because of branding and looks more than the actual result. A behind the scenes movie looks way better with a long haired sexy photog with a medium format than a pale canon guy taking awesome pics...true stoy.

film or sensor size is still a big deal. No matter how many MP camera manufacturers cram into 35mm size sensors, MF will always have the upper hand on quality because of pixel micron size. I'd much rather shoot a 30mp MF back then a 46mp 35mm... Also the sensor size effects depth of field, hence MF glass being slower (among other reasons).

stefanhellbergDOTcom September 23, 2012 - 7:22 pm

very true, and you also get less distortion with an 80mm lens instead of equivalent 50mm for FF. But for some stuff 35mm AF and ISO kicks medium ass. ;)

Jason Peters September 23, 2012 - 7:35 pm

There's no doubt the little sensors kick MF's ass in some regards

If this is true and >= 4000 usd I am making the move. I have been in love with nikon for long but I am feed up with slow af on the primes and no af at 1.2....But I will probably just get the D800 and be the happiest man in the world.
