Lens is Canon 85/1.8, all ISO 100

What do you think?

In this shot

The detail in the subject is phenomenal.. and yet there is NO noise or grain in the smooth background.

And this is a jpeg out of camera!

I'm impressed.

Excuse me, I just drooled all over my keyboard.

Nice.
Too bad they're mostly macros / closeups
I'd like to see how it handles a landscape

Here are a few more

I didn't know they updatet the samples.

The landscapes look awesome.

STELLER!

Where is the hack to get the low noise performance of the 20D for my 1D???

I'm glad i made my desission impulsivly for once because had these been out pre my purchase i dunno how long i'd wait to actually get a camera.

Take that nikon!

(Can you imagine how the images from the 1ds MKII will/would look )

is it me or the landscape sample on canon website isn't sharp at all?

the trees, grass at foreground are NOT sharp, while the mountain peak looks okay.

anyone?

I got the same impression.

Hey these are my pics. I am afraid of landscapes, and I do mostly portrait stuff. I never really made any prints from landscape shots but looking at them full size on screen they dont look all that hot, as far as how much detail is there compared to something like a head shot. This was on the 300d.

I used think it was my the 18-55 kit lens. But I've read that mostlikely it's the sensor resolving power and most likely my technique.

I usually try to use f/11 or f/16 and just focus randonly. I have no DOF scale on the kit lens. I do have a faint idea of hyperfocal distance, just no way to do it on the fly. What was it, 1/2 distance of start of DOF? So focus on something 2x that.. Or maybe it is the lens as well. But the kit holds its own according to most, corners maybe soft though.

I will soon resurrect my old palm pilot and install the nifty DOF calculator to help out, but the lens does not even have a distance scale. So it's a guestimate even then.

I probably got that backwards....

I'm gonna be verrrrry happy This only reinforces the reviews that the noise is not an issue with the smaller 8mpx sensor!! Wow I can't wait. Now the only negative review remark I am concerned about is the brightness of the viewfinder Just need to get it in my hand. I'm 4th at my local shot and on notify at B&H Whoever is first gets the sale

Thanks for posting pic's Pekka!

Sure did ,

I don't want to spread misinformation: You focus at hyperfocal distance and but DOF starts at 1/2 that -> infinity.

Same with the other landscape image.

I thought that the 17-40/2.8 L and 24-70/2.8 L would do better ... but the 17-40 image is only at f/6.3 ... nearly wide open.
