Aloha,
There are just too many awesome cameras around now!
I first jumped into digital with the 1ds mark 2 for all its flaws it was a pretty nice camera, and built like a tank, cleaning the sensor was an exercise requiring the direct services of a zen master! and no less than 50 dollars of cleaning supplies! lol
Now most of the higher end digital 35mm bodies are pretty stellar.
Who isn't temped by the D800E?
Loving my Pentax 645D
Really interested to see what the mark 2 version is all about.
Worried that the price will be much higher though.
In regards to AF being perfect, I might have a few words about that.
Great lenses, check mark on that.
I hope they;
work on tracking speed of AF
work on low light AF
Work on the tolerances on the MF confirm, cause that seems hit or miss, and at times down right confusing!
Work on high ISO image quality, its still pretty poor, regardless of what everybody says.
Give an option of building a black screen noise reduction or not-in bulb over 30 seconds.
Work on frame rate and write times, cause its pretty slow, even for landscape work.
lenses;
Tilt and shift lens, that would be Great!
The 25mm is really nice, but $4500 dollars ouuuchhhh!
Given the cost of building out a really deep MF system, nothing else even comes close in regards to price, and who else has 300mm, 400mm (excellent by the way see attached image and cost about $1200 bucks or traded for three prints like I did :-)) and 600mm offerings?
Someone mentioned Leica, you hit the $50,000 mark pretty quick given the cost of the body- at $21000 and lenses costing $6000-$10000 each...
