I had a break between meetings downtown today and dropped in at a
reputable DC camera store to "compare" a couple of the higher-end
SLR digitals, specifically the Nikon D200 and the Canon EOS 5D.

The D200 is a fine piece, but I didn't see one feature that made me lust
for it and want to sell off or trade in my Nikon D70.

But the Canon 5D! Wow!

Best featu

A full-frame 12.8 Megapixel CMOS sensor.

That means that when you hook on a 105 mm lens, it remains what it is, a
105 mm lens. It doesn't become a 152 mm lens.

The sales guy told me that Nikon at the moment had no plans to offer a
digital SLR with a full-frame sensor. Grrrrr. I have a significant
investment in Nikon lenses.

Oh...the 5D sells for about $2800. For the box. Lenses extra.



And, as you know, Canons take great pictures!
