This lens is pretty crazy I think...USD1049 (Street price probably around 950) but it's L & Hybrid IS...look at the MTF

It blows the old macro away!!!  It's one of the best MTF I've seen from Canon!  Mind you that the old macro is already very sharp.

I think we'll see a lot of old macros on the market soon.

SB,

I post jor la wor ...  100mm Macro IS is tempting ..  but $1300 ..
I would prefer they offer a 180 mm Macro IS .... but I guess, they have to look after APS users too.


快樂牛郎,
What do u mean by shouldn't cost anything ??

That is what I can smell finally ..  

Long await  "3D" ?  FF, 19 Cross type AF ..  new 63 Zones .. sealed body .. 100% view finder ( even 98%).. and $4K  YUMMY!

( Canon will do it, once the rumor D700X is out )

If Canon issue it as a 3D, are they gonna keep the 5D MkII? Considering that the 5D MkII is about a year old now, maybe it'll make more sense to have a 5D MkIII with the above specs.

But the AF overhaul is long overdue. 8 crappy AF points with 1 good middle AF point do not make for a good AF system.

100% VIEWFINDER IS A

5D series .. is still the "ENTRY" FF ...

Both Nikon and Canon dont need to make a poor man FF .. ( as Sony A850 )

When Canon and Nikon make their own lens anyway ...  they make money from both EF/EFS lens.

Still, this 7D, fill the gap between XXD and 5D series ... ( between $1500 range and $3000 range )

Also, between $5,000 plus 1D series and $3,000 5D series, there is room to add an extra series .. ( that is why, RUMOR of D700X .. ~$4K high spec FF DSLR )

Will those model affect the top dog? not really .... still may people buy the overpriced D3X and 1Ds3 ...  for people who has $100K worth of lens ..  they will still buy the latest and greatest ..

Anyway ..  will see ...

It will be interesting to see what will be in for 1D4 next summer ..  FF ? same 1.3 crop? ( actually, I like 1.3x )  Better to sell my 1DIII by the end of this summer anyway ..
