Thanks Mike. Sometimes I am not as precise in my wording with email as I guess I should be. There are always people who like to justify the equipment they own. For many expensive equipment is a camouflage for lack of photographic talent, so they resort to other tactics to make themselves look important. Sometimes at the expense of others.

As I said before, no two people will get the exact same image. So, unless you guys find a way to make it happen NO ONE is correct here. I work for the Suns team photogapher. Often we sit side by side on the baseline along with quite a few other photogs and often many of us will press the shutter release at the same time. On near court action some use a 28-70 while I and others use a 70-200. We regularly show each other images and say, "hey, I got the same shot." Did we really? Of course not but none one of us sit there arguing about why each is different. The discussion is about pixels and how many occupy the same area of the sensor on two specific bodies. The type of image is really irrelevant. If you set a 70-200 on a tripod and attach a 5D and take a picture and then attach a Rebel in my opinion you have just taken the exact same shot. Are the images identical? No. WGaF? Peter was trying to compare the sensors on both bodies. The difference is that compared to the 5D the Rebel will be cropped much tighter. A person's face in the image taken by the 5D will be larger in the image taken by the Rebel. I don't care enough to do the calculations but you need to compare the number of pixels occupying X% of the frame in the 5D image to (X% x 1.6) of the frame in the Rebel image. I suspect the difference between 12MP 1.0x and 10MP 1.6x will be a wash. Make the same comparison against the 8MP 1D.2 and I think the 5D wins. See, THE EXACT SAME IMAGE is irrelevant! But, some people just like to argue. :) Mike ____________________________________________________________________________________ Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debate in the Yahoo!
