My D70 decided to stop autofocusing this morning, so, figuring I had dome something idiotic, I called Nikon tech support and, as usual, chatted with a really knowledgeable guy. He had me "two finger salute" the camera (a reset), and suddenly autofocus came back. I've got to stop fiddling with the damned knobs...but that's what my old girlfriends used to say, too. Oh well. Anyway, I asked, "So when the hell are you going to have a reasonably priced DSLR with a full-frame CCD," and he said, "I can't tell you, but...it will be much sooner rather than later." Finally. Full frame ccd isn't going to be reasonably priced, not for the next several years. jps The new full-frame Canon, $3000 list, is $2200 via the internet. The next round of full-framers will be less. Nikon, I believe, is buying its CCDs from SONY. Now that it is mostly getting out of the film camera market, it will find a way to cut Canon's nuts off price for a full-frame CCD. Be careful buying 'gray market' stuff over the internet. Again, what is the big advantage of a full frame CCD? -- John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** Well, for starters, wide angle lenses work as wide angle lenses. I'd like the "18" on my 18-70 zoom to be an 18, not a 27. And I'd like my other auto nikkor lenses to perform as I expect them to, not to produce focal lengths half again their spec. I am used to viewing shots in full 35 mm frame view. I'd thought the lack of the wide angle capability might be a problem until I saw how easy it was to join photos in PS Elements. -- John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** |
