Canon 20D is coming!

Actually, I think there is a 22MP sensor avaliable for Mamiya.

Jeez, those would be some whopping big file sizes!

Yeah, there is no card media reader since the file sizes are so big. They need to be connected to a laptop to save the file. Not very good for use in the field. File sizes are >500megs each.

Its a bummer that the new EF-S lenses will fit on the 20D and 300D but not the 10D

I never understood all the different designations CAnon uses for their lenses. :| I know the IS are the image stabilizers...

L lenses are the pro lenses
USM is UltraSonicMotor
EF-S are cheap-o consumer lenses

Thanks Doxx! Canon should put that info on their website or something! heh

I've gotten pretty good results with my EF-S kit lens from the 300D. On wide shots though there's definite loss of clarity towards the edges of the frame.

It's really noticeable in this shot...

Yeah, they should have the cojones to quote Doxx :twisted:

20D is just a downsized EOS Mark II, no big deal

Some MF digital back are coming with build in wireless network card now

I should be marketing director of Canon :roll:

With the kit EF-S 18-55mm it was possible to fit them to a 10d after sawing off the end of the lenses. Maybe it would be also possible to do same with two recently introduced EF-S lenses? Well 10-22mm seems to be very tempting.

Ive been told if you try it you can smash the mirror :-? So smash the mirror or saw a lens?

Now I'm in a dilema, I've been waiting to get a 10D and now that the money is going to be available the 20D comes out. Should I get the 20D or wait a little more for the prices of the 10D's to drop (at least in the used market) and get a 10D and a lense or something along those lines.

Descisions Descisions... :LOL:
