- -5 fps - -.2 second startup (startup lag is my biggest complaint about the 10d) - -1 stop better low light AF - -ETTL II - -lower noise (1600 on 20d = 400 on 10d) - -smaller, lighter - -cross-type AF sensor works with f5.6 lenses, more accurate with 2.8 lenses
If all this is for real, I'm having a *lot* of trouble seeing how they are going to sell 1D Mk2's at their current price point... just me, but I'd rather see a bigger camera than a smaller one (eg, build the battery grip into the camera?)
Although I have a problem with the startup time, my BIGGEST single complaint about all Canon EOS DSLR's to this point has been flash exposure; everything else I have been just about able to live with. Nikon REALLY has Canon clobbered in this one small area. If E-TTL2 really works as well as Nikon's flash exposure system does now, that will really put them in a position of market leadership.
About the only things they could do to make me happier would be faster AF, and AF at F8 (I'd live with being limited to the central focus point). Everything else would be bells and whistles. This is pretty darned close to being a perfect still camera from me, if they can make it all work. :-)
