Canon's new super-camera.
With wireless adapter, you can not only fire the camera from afar wirelessly, you can even see what the camera sees, on your computer!

It seems to me that Canon has for a long time been one step ahead of Nikon. Nikon, with its much more limited budget then plays catch up.
This to me looks like a clasic protagonist antagonist situation. Nikon is forced to "try harder". In doing so they usually manage to come up with ideas and methods whereby their version of the feature is slightly more elegant, or just more kewl. But, alas, Canon, in being one step ahead, is already on to something new.
I can see infinite ways of how a digital SLR can be developed further. For example, I expect future cameras to automate the HDR process. Also, I predict Canon and Nikon will both come up with a stereo camera in the coming years. The two lenses would not just be for 3D images, but help in calculating the information for a better 2D shot.
Back to me:
In my view, Canon is clearly ahead in the top range. And Nikon is clearly ahead in the low end range. In the mid range, Canon 5D has the best image quality, and Nikon D200 has the best handling.
I think dynamic range is the most important aspect to improve now. Clipped highlights is a big issue.
This is the greatest step forward in digital photography. I have worked forward thought the 1D MII, 10D, 20D, 5D and xti... this is years ahead of anything else.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I had the opportunity of taking 400 shots with the 1D III. The RAW and JPEGS are outstanding.
Thanks. Nice.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought there was all that much development left in digital SLRs.
