I like the linked advert



:lol:

[mick pinner]

anyone want to buy a 350D

[h0ughy]

$300;)

[Robby]

Where's the LCD display to show what shooting mode, ISO, size etc you are in... Don't tell me they overlay that info on the preview LCD screen... That would seroiusly suck!
I still like my 300D old school :D
Cheers

[Striker]

not interested....

[acropolite]

....yet...:P

[RB]

I like it too Chris, very creative.
Looks like a good deal ! :lol:

[iceman]

So what's different about it, from the 350D?

Apart from the 10.1 mp, it looks fairly similar. I like the idea of the self-cleaning sensor (no more dust!)

And how much will it be?

[rogerg]

Hmm, 10.1 would be nice. But I think I'll be waiting for 12+. The 8mp size of the 350D is my only problem with it - resulting in lower resolution images than I used to get with film. But I don't think 10.1 would be a big enough difference to "make the difference".

Roger.

[iceman]

I agree Roger, I think 12mp would be required before I'd be tempted to upgrade.

[33South]

me too, I recall reading you need 11+MP (and some $$$$s) to get film resolution.

[h0ughy]

I think Mick was referring to my cheeky offer of $300 for his 350D:P ;) :lol:

Interesting, pretty much the same price bracket as the 350D, but with the bigger sensor.

I guess the 350D is likely to drop in price by a few hundred as well.

Just hope the software doesnt confuse stubborn dust particles as faint diffuse, or lower mag stars,,,All those lovely globulars would look like one huge star.. unles of course theres a menu item hidden in a substructure of step down menus, that says ,,,turn this feature off damn it ...:rofl: ...

[Shawn]

But then ,,thinking about that ,,,If it could remove the milky way, ??... that would be worth while for DSO hunters wouldnt it ?...? Also 500 model is proported to being able to see 15 mag stars, and track them on its huge image sensor with 100,000,000 pixels and crop the image to compensate for exposure time and required zoom, software takes care of field rotation. "Park and Shoot" Not really just made it up... LOL,,, I guess it will happen , and probably soon ,,,:>(

Takes the fun out it , yes / no ?

[iceman]

I got the impression that the dust thing was some way of actually physically removing the dust, by some electromagnetic shock or something :)

I didn't get the impression it took it's own flat field.

[Shawn]

No Mike ,,I think I read it right ,,stubborn was removed by software,,casual dust, its only casual...:D

[Shawn]

I guess If you read between the lines so to speak, any manufacturing errors in mass producing for a good price a 10m plus chip, are erased by software..
If you cant fix it hide it LOL..

[fringe_dweller]

...and so the wheel turns :D

gedouttathaway! runaway technology!!!

Awesome :-))))) anyone feeling equipment redundant?

I want shares in canon digital - a licence to print money? :)

[sheeny]

I thought it implied both. It has a system to remove dust from the sensor (presumably similar to the Olympus ultra sound vibration on power up) but if theat doesn't get it off and it detects a persistent dust bunny, the software compensates...

My interpretation...

Al.

[leon]

Roger, Mike, 33 South,

I whole heartly agree, thats why I picked up my Canon EOS 5D today,
(12+ Meg Pixels), and a EF 135mm F/2.0L Lens, plus Canon EF 1.4 Extender.

:D :D :D

Cheers leon :thumbsup:

[iceman]

You lucky dog, Leon!

The 5D is a very far away dream for me, but something i'd definitely love to have.

Can't wait to see what you produce with it!

[leon]

Me to Mike, i'm so much looking foward to using it.
Need some clear skies though.

Cheers leon

[norm]

What a clever website!!!:)

[acropolite]

I wonder how long it will be before DSLR manufacturers abandon the 2/3 format and go to full frame in their budget models. I discussed this with a mate, he feels the current budget format will endure, I believe it will fade away and be replaced with full frame (under $2K version of the 5D) at some time in the very near future.

[RB]

Awesome Camera and a fantastic lens Leon !

Looking forward to your images.
