Mr Posner, What is then the exact meaning of the EOS 1Ds? Is it an accident? In my opinion a 24x36 mm sensor size does more than keep the focal of the lenses. It allows getting more number of pixels and, finally a better image quality. I think that cheaper full format digital reflex are in the horizon of Canon plans. But you are a Nikon user, aren't you? And there their conditioning to third part suppliers concerning the captor, instead of own production as Canon's case, make depend further developments to others considerations. But the new Kodak is again a clear example of the right path. Contax is another path but here they have got, perhaps, a marketing failure. It's my opinion, as a user of Canon SRL digital and Nikon too. Fortunately some of us may live with same focal with digital and film cameras.
