Two things are my main reason for wanting to go only with a full frame. I want a portrait to look like it should. I do not want to blur out in Photoshop, I want compression effects from 85-100mm lenses. I also want the same blurred backgrounds. I don't want to alter my own shooting style:)
Next, I would like to be able to do long exposure wide field astro. I want low noise. Sad thing is, if I had had the money when all the stores were clearancing out the N Digital, I would have bought one. Happened like two months ago:( I would prefer to stick to Canon, so I don't have to buy new lenses. Hell, who knows. Maybe they will soon bring out a 1Ds Mark II, and klll the value of used 1Ds. That would be very cool. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Lovda Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 12:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: EOS - sensor size on future dSLR's If you don't care which brand system you buy then I assume you are willing to buy new lenses with the body. If this is true then you must be REALLY into "14mm" type shooting or are mentally attached to the 35mm equivalent numbering system. What exactly do you mean by "full frame"? Little by little camera manufacturers are coming out with new 12-20mm type zooms that probably work great but just can't cover a true 35mm frame. These lenses will probably get better over time too. Bigger sensors do mean lower noise but I really think the camera manufacturers will spend more effort lowering the noise level of the current 1.3x-1.6x sensor either through semiconductor enhancements, new signal processing algorithms or both. This would provide the evolutionary effect of allowing us to use faster ASA/ISO speed film with the same grain. The smaller size lenses would make the camera lighter.
