Them they test the EOS 1Ds and EOS 300D combined with several Canon and Sigma lenses and surprise: >the 300D gets better test results than the 1Ds! I was really surprised to >read this. Has anyone on this list had the chance to compare both cameras?
Hugo I'm a regular reader of Chasseurs and I realized that this issue has launched a new test system. They test the pictures themselves not some electronic devices through the lenses. The result is astonishing! Most lenses seem to be crap for digital cameras! But they are newspapermen not photographers. I use a 1Ds and a D30. The 16-35 is better in the D30. Of course it is! But the big problem is that IT IS NOT a 16-35 but a 25-50! The 16-35 has a lot of fringing and vignetting but it had that too with the 1V that I too own. So to believe that a 300D is a better DSLR is merely a nonsense. The truth is that a more expensive and better quality kind of wide zooms and lenses will appear in the next future due to the exigencies of big sensors that not forgive any lens defect and, accordingly, give outstanding pictures.
