Hi!
I can only hope they made the right call and went Canon instead of the other one. Canon seems to be kicking their butt and handing it to them! Good one Canon!

I'm sure that and the 1Ds, I can only dream of owning one of those. Love Canon, I've owned 4 course they were all 35mm film. loved them all.. but haven't shot film in over a year. :D

Well...... I'm sorry to tell you, but they used a Nikon D100 and D1X!!!

Have a look at the sample images - click on them on the right side of this page: http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0312/feature1/index.html - On the pages with the images there's a description of the camera and lens used.

By the way, I'm glad that National Geographic doesn't remain stubbornly stuck in the film world... :)

It's cool that NG went digital, but I'm not sure they made the right decision. I hear that Canon is kicking its competors butt bigtime.
