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.

If you don't like it, don't buy it. If you really don't like it, I'm sure Nikon or Sony would love the business. There's no rule that says you have to replace your existing camera with the replacement model. Canon has two different models with a full-frame sensor (one less expensive than the 1D, one more expensive), so pick one of those if that's what you want. There are four current models with 1.6x sensors (one in each line, from one-digit to four-digit), so pick one of those if that's what you want.


I for one think it's a fantastic upgrade. More cropability on the output, more ISO. I'm in the market for a second body (Rebel as backup to 1D just doesn't cut it), and was hoping this was coming soon. Now, I have to wait for Ritz to regain the ability to order and sell Canon (Ritz card, 10 months no interest, hey it works for me).
