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 )

Catpiano

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 ..

D300S cut price ??  no la..  

Nikon pricing ..  so stable ..  ( in Canada )   2 yr ago ..  D300 was $1699 ..  now ?  $1699 ..   

D700 ?  last yr was $2999 .. now .. $3299 ..   lol

Catpiano

No no no no ...  Daimo .. dont sell 135L ..

Still, best Canon lens overall. ( I M O )

SB, may be I dont do macro that much .. ( you know me .. lol )  when I use 100 Macro, mainly to product shoot .. so with tripod and light anyway .. ( or hand hold sometimes ) but when I use 180L, I shoot handhold most the time ..  ( flower ..  bugs etc sometimes ) and need 1/200 second plus and F10 plus is pain in the butt ...

This 100 macro IS will be a great lens, and decent price too, ( Canon will probably keep making the 100 macro ) however, Canon shouldn't just follow Nikon ma ..  when Nikon has 100 VR, Canon should do 180 IS ..

At least, I wont replace my 100 M la..   

Catpiano

CP I think realeasing the 100 first is ok wor...the 180 user base is much smaller

I know .  of course, making money is most important la... I just share my wish list gei ..

By the time Canon is going to make a 180mm F2.8 IS ..  it may be $3K la..

Catpiano

I just like to "borrow" my cameras/lenses for a few months and then trade for something else

You mean .. take advantage from COSTCO POLICY?

I have known few people ...  ( sort of friends ) they just "BUY" camera from Costco in US ... use for few month ..  refund ..   

Well ..  can do that in Canada as well, but Costco Canada only sell 1000D or D3000 those low model with kit lens ..   but Costco US ..  even D700 ...  LB5 .. etc etc ..

At least, best buy in US, will charge you re-stocking fee on DSLR.
