Sorry. I should have been clear. Yes I also agree. Nikon's current crop of prosumer and pro bodies have great noise handling. Everything else minus the D50 and D2Hs is utter crap. CMOS sensors from Canon give a film like grain, compared to the multicolored grain from Nikon's CCD sensors.

Now that I think about it, if I can get a D2Hs under 800, I'd probably take that over a D90. Great AF, quick speed, small file sizes, and decent noise handling for CCD.

EDIT: Great. I'm settled on a D2Hs. All my Canon gear is gonna be put on POTN and craigslist tonight lol. Need a D2Hs asap.

Wow, that's quite the switch. Which Canon camera did you have before?
I'll be interested to see how you like the D2Hs.

350D. I've only had it for maybe a month. I'm also considering a 40D at the moment, but I'm leaning towards the D2Hs so I can keep my D50 as a crippled back up, smaller files for easier/faster PP, and for the build. Plus I miss Nikon controls lol.

Am I missing something?

Why a D2Hs?

Seems like a lot of $$ for 4MP

There's nothing wrong with 4MP. I still love my 1D "classic". It still runs circles around the other cameras in handling and build.

You're right. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the camera. I like to make large prints, so MP is important for me.

The D2Hs was built for speed. You also get pro-build, feel, weather-proofing, etc...

With a lil' work (noise reduction, etc), a 4MP image can be upsized with few noticeable consequences. Of course, it probably wouldn't be sufficient for poster-board sized prints

I asked in the post your photography thread, figure I'll try here too. I'm a canuck, heading down to buffalo to fly out for PAX in seattle. Is there anywhere in buffalo/downtown seattle where I could pick up a Canon 50/1.8? I've looked but can't really find anywhere.

If the specs posted on Canon China's site are correct, it looks like we're getting yet another incremental upgrade to the XXD line: Canon 50D

 

[raptor84]

Aww man that better not be true :|

 

[lan]

Why wouldn't you want it to be true? You just got a 40D? or is it some specs like the increase in megapixels.

For me I just can't get into this line. I like the 1 series or Rebels.

All or just a little bit, eh lan?

Apparently it's got in-body IS, and ISO 12800. 15MP resolution, too. Still 9-point AF...but all cross-type. Wish they'd at least bump up the # of AF points. 1/8000 max shutter.

wonder what that's gonna run?

Anyone wanna guess 1300$us to compete with the new D90?
I will.

Just got a 40D 4 weeks ago.
