Tim,
The upshot is that I am very impressed with the new camera (computer?) and
will buy one later this month - pro kit is $15,000 aust. The next
incarnation may be better again and with faster frame rate but I don't
expect it to happen this year. When you look at the image quality off this
you will not even consider getting a 1D instead Chip - resolution is
everything.
That camera sounds like almost everything I need (though I like the FOV crop of the D60--I'm a tele/wildlife guy when not shooting weddings, portraits and commercial stuff) except it is way above my price range. I'd consider it even up to $5000, but even that would be a lot for the state of my business these days. It is worth noting, in terms of investment in cameras, that unlike the D30, and to a lesser extent, the D60, I do think that the 1DS will remain viable for the next several years--while the D60 is almost good enough in resolution, I think the 1Ds definitely is more than good enough for almost all applications for the forseeable future--high ISO noise becomes a critical component of the definition of "resolution" as I am refering to it here, because high ISO can be very necessary for wedding shooting.
Anyway, enough rambling...I just want to know, what is the "pro kit" package that you mention? Is it different than the regular kit? Not that I can afford one, but I'm curious.
Thanks,
Mike
