Since the last post on this a lot has happened:
- Nikon announced the D700 (beating Canon to the punch on the full frame updates) and it is pretty darn nice for $3000
- SLRs now shoot video (in HD!) thanks to the Nikon D90
- Canon announced two new cameras… but neither are full frame
- Rumors have changed on the new full frame model
The 5D Mark II/3D/6D/7D will now most likely have a DIGIC IV processor since the just annonuced 50D has this new electronic brain. There are also rumors of it sporting 21 megapixels. That’s a lot of pixels… more than I really want or need. Hopefully it will have some improvements in the high ISO area over the 40D (a 21 megapixel full frame sensor is the same pixel density as an 8 megapixel APS-C sensor like in the 30D or 40D). Some people even seem to think the 5D Mark II will have full weather sealing, HD video capabilities and a 100% viewfinder. We’ll see…
