Have u actually …
Have u actually seen the video from the D90? Its equivalent to what steve job said about the speakers on the new ipod touch “for casual listening” and in this case it would be “for casual recording”.
The Canon Luxury …
The Canon Luxury lenses should be sufficient but i doubt the others are good enough.
Question: had a …
Question: had a quick skim, so may have missed this answer …but if we have 21MP, are the lenses man enough to actually take advantage of that level of resolution compared to say, 21.9 of the 5D?
Thanks
The 5DmkII will …
The 5DmkII will kick of D700/900 . . Higher res of MkIII will serve others whereas the D3’s res will not. The D3, IS really good . . impressive. but so is the mkIII . . . The main aspect, and the essence of photography is the photographer.
Light is everything and how a photographer best uses that light IS everything. The camera is nothing more than the extension of a photographers brain. . . the print out.
If I had the Money, I would buy a Hasselblad with leaf digital back, etc. . .
This camera isn’t …
This camera isn’t that great the battery sucks and the menu is hard, takes long to the set the settings you want. Nikon is way more advanced then canon and Nikon is more confertble to use in so many ways i.e D3 has 2 slots for memory cards, 11fps, 51af points and so on. Any Canon camera I checked out it had 3, 6, or 9 af points which sucks cause you cant focus on a smaller area.
P.S Sony cameras are their no where near Canon or Nikon or even pentax they should not be in the business!
coz they can:D i …
coz they can:D i dnkw why they put it. but its ther. if i have the camera i probably wont use it coz it will eat my memory but its ther. so lets enjoy it. its a cool extra.

Read the magazine article?
So, just …
So, just hypothetically-speaking… HD camcorders are pretty easy to come by and can be bought for $300-$400. Single frames out of these camcorders would be of the same resolution as from this $2700 Canon video DSLR. Why would you want such a bulky SLR frame for taking video, then?
Judging by its size …
Judging by its size and the shape I suppose it’s a 24-105mm f/4L…. well it’s the kit lens.
man you must be …
man you must be crazy! you kept saying nikon such as this and that… you are comparing canon’s high end camera to nikons lower level camera. the nikons lower level camera which is the d90 you are referring to was the worlds first camera to shoot a video. we are talking about lower end camera by nikon here. your mark II probably would even come close to d3 or the d300 nikon hah!
I will sell my …
I will sell my house for this lol
just playing, seriously though im gonna start saving up for it.
FULL HD VIDEO, you’ll be mad to hate this SLR CAMERA
can you tell me why …
can you tell me why you think Sony DSLRs are jokes? What Sony DSLRs have you used and what you do not like about them please? thanks
sony needs to first …
sony needs to first catch up with canon and nikon, then surpass them. but by then it’ll be too late. one of the issues behind sony’s new camera line is the lack of flexibility in their cameras. whereas canon has loads of creative settings, sony does not. where sony still sits in the game is it’s built in body image stabilization and excellent in camera editing, white balance. following wise, canon and nikon have the market.
Add an OLED screen, …
Add an OLED screen, build in a sensor brush and hoover system and we have a deal
I still think Sony …
I still think Sony DSLRs are like jokes compared to the Canon and Nikon rivals. Btw, would my 17-40mm f4 L USM be a bad idea on a 5D?
haha, the weakness …
haha, the weakness of this camera is low fps
I WAAAANT IT…
I WAAAANT IT…
is that the …
is that the original lens ?
yeah, Sony w300 …
yeah, Sony w300 will make a better video at 300bucks
For all the …
For all the photography purists out there, they can stick to their Mark III’s. But I also think HD video is amazing on the still camera.
It’s a small, …
It’s a small, lightweight full frame digital SLR. It shoot’s full HD video, is compatible with over 60 different lenses, and is reasonably priced. It isn’t meant to be the best, it’s meant to be an affordable solution for those on a budget. Some say it is ridiculous to incorporate video into an SLR, but you are wrong. If I can get full HD video and 21.1 Mega-Pixel shots, with one device, then Im in. Besides if you were a good photographer you wouldnt have to worry to much about the AF points.
good point.
good point.
Next summer… in …
Next summer… in my photobag… directly from the United States… with 500mm lens…
2,700 is a lot but …
2,700 is a lot but when it’s capable of low light capability seen in video cameras with 6 figure price tags and depth of field that could only be achieved with much more expensive cameras- the Canon is a bargain. For Indy or Documentary filmmakers it could be a great tool- producing video that looks much more professional.

gj, buy a 2700 dollar camera specfically to shoot videos.
