Full Version: Canon EOS 5D, 12.8MP, full frame
After reading the article and everyone's comments I must say this might be a step up for those in the underwater photography community who complained about the limitation of wide angle photography with the Canon - although image quality remains to be seen.
On a side note: After reading day in and day out about the new advances in cameras it cracks me up to see just how 'digital' the photography industry has become. What I mean by this is how it evolves in very much the same way as computers do. It seems the hardware is always leaps and bounds ahead of the software end. Here we have all these fancy cameras yet we're still struggling with using multiple software applications in an attempt to produce decent results (ie. our varying results when attempting to reproduce sunburst with different applications) and keep some sort of sanity in the organization (ie. IPTC data implemention) of our now thousands of photographs shot in one day (slight exaggeration - I hope - for the fish's sake).
I can certainly understand the ambivalence that film photographers might feel towards digital. Their old, simple ways have been replaced with countless hours in front of a PC (not to mention the hours spent reading books on Photoshop This And That) only to attempt to reproduce 'the moment' they know they captured.
May the force be with us.
PS - I predict after this whole digital craze is played out, Canon and Nikon will do like Ford has done with the T-Bird and Mustang -- we'll all be shooting with digital versions of Kwanon and Nikon I.

Or the unthinkable, like the first Canon rangefinder that where made, will we see Nikon suplying lenses to Canon for its camera bodies
