Canon today announced a whole load of new stuff, and heading up the line we see the 1Ds Mk III and the 40D.
Some of the key features are, for the 1Ds -
- Massive 21 megapixel full frame sensor
- Twin Digic III processors
- Live view 3 inch panel
- 5fps shooting
Impressive huh? A mere six thousands pounds will bag you one of those.
And on the slightly more affordable scale, the replacement for the 30D comes in with
- Some kind of weather resistance
- 6.5 fps continuous shooting for a max. burst of 75 JPEGs
- 3 inch live view screen
- New AF system with 9 cross-type sensors
I say “some kind of weather resitance” as, reading around, it’s not entirely obvious how weather-proof the 40D is. It seems to vary from total to partial resistance (partial meaning that just the compartments are proofed.) Still, interesting none-the-less.
The 40D should be available for around 900 quid. Get saving!
