This thought that more is better is very misguided.
A guitar salesman talking about "truth"....lol!! You sell overpriced guitars, and dreams, to people who can barely play.
The 1D Mark II was a great camera. Fast, responsive, solid build. It's probably a good camera for taking pictures of old rusting cars in front of ramshackle buildings, and applying heavy-handed HDR treatment, then hoping to sell the occasional print to tasteless young hispters who just ,"Love the look of HDR landscapes from old Indian reservation homes!"
For publication, the halftone screen kills most of the acuity of any camera, so even an old Nikon D1 series 2.7, or or D2h's 4.2-megapixel image is plenty for a double-truck in a magazine; 8 MP is plenty when the image is printed on newsprint. At least, as long as it is in focus. Images printed on newsprint don't need to be very big, or very high-rez. Just sharpen them up a lot, make sure the black point is set right so the dot gain doesn't plug up the low tones, and voila! Great images. At least, as long as the camera can focus right. Which is why Canon had to stop making the 1D Mark III--they brought in an all-new focusing system, which basically, could not focus right much of the time.
Geez Derrel, and I thought the images that I shot with my old 4mp 1D that were used as photo wraps for vans looked great, it appears that I was mistaken. Based on your skill and knowledge I must have been doing something really wrong with the 10's of thousands of images that I shot and sold with 4mp cameras. Again as I stated before, some people believe that more is better, in my case I will take that I have more skill and experience with a camera than you do, and was able some how able to produce great images with fewer megapixels.
Why are you shooting with a new, $3,500, high-MP Canon 5D Mark III.

Then why are you shooting with a brand new Canon 5D Mark III, imagemaker??
Oh, I forgot...you're one of the best sports shooters in the world, according to your own admission. And you use....a brand-new 23-megapixel camera....and yet we've never heard of you in the USA...
You seem to be yet another guy who says one thing, but does another thing entirely. Why are you shooting with a new, $3,500, high-MP Canon 5D Mark III.
Why are you not using an old, 4-megapixel Canon 1D from 2001? I mean...your sheer,amazing,refined talent behind the lens oughtta', well, you know...allow you to out-shoot anybody in the world, on a consistent basis, no matter the venue...or so I have read from you multiple times on this board...
Amusing how your actions do not match up with your words. Why don't you go to another thread and attack your old buddy f/2.8??? lol
As I said, the 1D mark II was a good camera. Nobody's disputing that. You just seem to need "somebody" to attack as a way to vent your frustrations of being out-competed by younger shooters...maybe work on your reading comprehension, and try and figure out why you are shooting Canon's newest, latest camera...while you're alternately raging about new pros, and also waxing rhapsodic about the "old days"...
I think we are starting to stray a little off track. Please try to keep personal attacks to yourselves.

Okay.
After all, it's pretty clear who's full of hot air here.
I'm thru...
