I'm going to wait for something that will replace the 1Ds Mark III. If this is it, then I may think on jumping ship when Nikon makes the D4.

Take Care,

They are merging the 1D lines. Plus, I don't think Canon will release an uber MP camera anymore. I think it's about time Canon stop the MP war now.

Yup, I just saw that! They must have put that up just in the past few minutes or something!

.... 18MP on a fullframe ? .. some will probably move to Nikon ...

I hope dynamic curve makes a real change (from 14Ev this time and 10EV @6400 iso). otherwise, I don't understand why canon would stay so much behind yellows

I hoped war would stop @40 or 50MP .. and 18EVor 20EV dynamic ... just to get enough pixels and dynamic to make good postprocessing for denoising and sharpening 6400 or 12800 iso pictures.

I think it will. Just wait till I get mine in.

Looks like a really, really nice camera. On paper, it's the kind of camera that you could buy and use heavily for 5 years without missing a beat. Dang. I want one. Or two.

Oh god bless them. Finally, a thumb joystick for the vertical grip portion. Woots!

1500/month from now until march!!!!! Alrightyyyyyyyy

Ah I'm thinking of dumping my Nikon gear for this.

This camera is a tech guy's wet dream (I should now). I would love to own a camera like this. I guess by the time Ill have some more money, Ill be waiting for a 5D Mark III. Just think, Canon went bananas with the new 1D, hopefully the next 5D gets such a spirited updated

please tell me it has a direct print button

I do like this feature very much... That and the 4 new buttons at the front. 2 each for orientation.

I'm very thrilled about this camera. However, not so much about the price. 6800 is pretty steep. Lol. I can do 5k.

If it has a quality button, you can bet your ass it has a direct print button.

Edit. I'm wrong... Thank god I'm wrong!

It's now on Canon U.S.A.'s product page:

Part of what the lower pixel density brings to the table:

And, they note that the noise level will be lower than any current sensor. That comes from the larger pixels/lower pixel density.

A lot of us back before the 1D3 and 5D2 were released were hoping for an uber-clean ff sensor with maybe 16MPs, and were a bit sad when the 21MP sensors came out. So I don't see this as a setback but more of a WIN for IQ while sensor technology catches up to enable mega-megapixels...
