Nou, dat is een leuk antwoord van Canon op de D2x, wederom flikken ze het
Wat ik bedoel is wat Ken Rockwell zegt:
16,7 MP is iig extreem veel, op deze manier komt de camera in de buurt van de losse digital backs die vaak 20 ~ 28 MP aan boord hebben
Leaked in some detail over the weekend we can now bring you full details of the 16.7 megapixel EOS-1Ds Mark II. Successor to the EOS-1Ds the Mark II maintains the 36 x 24 mm CMOS sensor (full 35 mm frame size), raises the pixel count by almost six million pixels, provides ISO sensitivity through to ISO 3200, faster continuous shooting (4 fps) with a large and improved buffer (32 JPEG, 11 RAW) as well as all of the changes we saw between the EOS-1D to EOS-1D Mark II. Additionally Canon has also announced the WTF-E1 Wireless Transmitter which supports 802.11b/g (WiFi) as well as tethered LAN for transmission of images directly back to a server.

Persbericht:
Amstelveen, the Netherlands, 21 September 2004. Canon, a world leader in photographic and imaging technology, today announces its new flagship camera: the 35mm full-frame 16.7 Megapixel EOS-1Ds Mark II Digital SLR. The camera is expected to appeal to professional studio and commercial photographers.
Featuring a full-frame 36 x 24mm 16.7 Megapixel CMOS sensor, the EOS-1Ds Mark II produces images with outstanding colour rendition and dynamic range. It has sufficient resolution to produce files which convert to 50MB uncompressed TIFF at 24 bit colour depth, now considered standard acceptable size by leading international photo agencies and stock libraries.
Replacing the award winning 11.1 Megapixel EOS-1Ds, the camera is powered by Canon’s second generation DIGIC II image processor and is capable of firing at 4 fps for bursts of up to 32 frames in JPEG, or 11 frames in RAW. An optional wireless adaptor (also released today) delivers high speed IEEE802.11b/g wireless LAN and 100 Megabit per second wired LAN support.
Besides the inherent advantages of digital, such as immediate turn-around and elimination of film costs, it is the flexibility of the EOS 35mm SLR format which Canon expects to appeal to many studio photographers. For the first time, medium format image quality combines with access to the world’s most extensive range of professional lenses, spanning from 14mm to 1200mm.
“The EOS-1Ds Mark II is a tremendous achievement, it represents the pinnacle of Canon’s digital camera technology,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. “With its resolution, image quality, immediacy of wireless and the power and flexibility of SLR, the EOS-1Ds Mark II offers the first real digital alternative to medium format, which has so far been the choice for mainstream commercial studio and location work.”
Canon expects the camera to be adopted in areas such as fashion, car, calendar, advertising and architectural photography.

En dat is nu gebeurd met deze 1Ds MKII, wederomI shoot Nikon and I'm honest about all this. It's curious that everytime Nikon comes out with a new camera like the D2H that Canon comes out a few weeks later with something like the 1D-MkII that completely eclipses it, as if Canon has already designed these things a year ago and just waits for Nikon before they bother to introduce it. I mean really, the years-obsolete Canon 1D has the same resolution and FPS as the new Nikon D2H, and twice the sync speed. Such is life. if I was smart I'd wait for the D2X announcement and then buy whatever Canon already has up their sleeves that will be announced 3 weeks later.
