On the other hand, to jump from Nikon D2H to D3, D2x to D3x is like to jump from Jaguar X-Type to XF, from old XJ to the all new XJ - it is a revolution in every measurable way.


Can't believe in two and half years Canon didn't even change a thing on ergonomics given that the ergonomics on the MK3 is not exactly perfect, and it look exactly the same too. I remember Canon has once been know by its innovative steps, but with the MK4 it's different.


Finally, an 1.3x sensor is found once again.


I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but I'm disappointed.

Ben,

I think your looking at it the wrong way. If your a current 1D Mark III owner I can see why you'd say it's not a big upgrade, it isn't! Just as nearly anyone that is a 50D owner probably doesn't see the 7D as a significant enough upgrade to shell out another $1,700. As a 1Ds Mark III owner I can already tell you when the 1Ds Mark IV comes out IWONT be buying it. Even though it will have a newest highest MP sensor, full HD video, the new 920,000 pixel screen, etc... it won't be a large enough change for another 8G's. Will people looking at the specs fall in love with the new 30MP sensor, full HD video, the new 920,000 pixel screen, etc... damn skippy. I'm curious what upgrades would have made you want to run out and buy one?

All that said I think the new 1D Mark IV is a big upgrade and I am seriously considering it now. 10MP just wasn't enough for me but the new sensor has 160% more pixels, HD video, the new screen, more cross type focusing points, etc... Nikon has just recently caught up to the times with the D3X but there lenses are lacking IMHO.

P.S. I like my frog like exterior. It keeps the rain out. []
