I'm at the moment, underwhelmed by the new products released by Canon lately..
We have a new action 1 body that can't focus very well,..and is a 1.3 crop.. not a FF, with an option......like a competitor of Canon just announced!
We have a slowish flagship FF camera that shoots a file size so large that in order to use the files effectively, one must spend about twice the amount of the camera on their computer...and file storage systems..
We have a redesigned version of an existing prime lens that has always stunk.. while the other guys release a nifty super duper wide zoooooom lens..
Canon gave the 1.6 crop shooters a "better" camera, but it is again, blown away by a camera from the other guys, for a few hundred bucks more..
Well,...at least we have the 5DMkII to look forward to..
Let me guess on the specs of the upcoming 5DMkII:
A "blazing fast" 4 fps! ISO (awful 50) 100 - 3200 (no boost to 6400) The same 12.8 CMOS A 3" LCD, w/ live preview Dust removal No moisture or dust resistance other than what they already have now Another new useless button More lousy AF issues.. 1/200ths top sync speed with strobes.. Slow shutter lag speed A price of $3,000.00 for the body only!
Oh, and several new slow zoom lenses for consumers.. and perhaps a new 28mm f1.4 L lens that is just as "good" as the 24mm L..
...not a new 200mm f2.0 IS L lens.. like the other guys have had for a few years now..
In a few months, I'm afraid I'll be telling everyone,....."I told you so".. :-(
