....or why an EOS digi-SLR will never get the features of all the current cross-breed digicam's, which combine still- & motion- picture image recording in one camera....
Simply because that darn mirror is in the way with an SLR....:)) Unless of course Canon decides that this is yet *another* good reason to launch a pellicle-mirror DSLR, without moving mirror. (my personal favorite argument is maximum silence, in particular when shutter recocking is delayed until finger is lifted from the release button ((S)CF on RT/1n/1n-RS, being analog cameras also delaying film- transport) (#12 in this list: http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/cf_eos1n.htm) Or they could hold the mirror in the upward position on an ordinary DSLR, and use the TFT-screen as for realtime video-viewing. Yet in both cases there is still a solution needed for AF, since with EOS camera's it needs the secondary-mirror (swung out of the way during exposure, even with the pellicle-mirror cameras!). Would we ever see such a symbiotic step?....:)) All else has been invented/implemented already, so one day they might have to....there are simply not many options left to distinguish camera's from eachother....:)) -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
