I don't think you missed anything, this is a well know problem with FF sensors especially with wide angle lenses. This is the reason Leica have ruled out FF for the digital M.
FF is not the answer to all problems the Canon marketing people would have you believe.

I know, i've 20D

about the FF - is this only a problem with digital like 5D or Mark 1D etc.?

FF film has been around for a while, i don't understand why it should be a problem now with digital. the same size, but the light hit the sensor instead of film. or does all 35mm film cames has the same issue with lens like 24-70mm 2.8 L ???

You've used the 30D then, Tony?

@Tonymidd. What's wrong with the body ergonomics of the 20D? I think mine is one of the nicest cameras i've used in 20-odd years, including my time with Contaxes.

This IS NOT a competition what IF 5D, 30D, 20D xxD is better OR NOT then D200 - every camera has it's own good stuff! like it or not, get it or sell it... read it for yourself and address your shooting needs. DONE.

please follow the original question about FF and lens, that's what's VERY suprising for me...

Sorry, could you point me in the direction of the picture that you found shocking??

I ask, because when I read through the D200 review, I was actually very impressed with the extra detail captured by the 5D

Not wanting to get my matches out and coming from a rather non technical non brand affiliated background.


Quote: It's clear however that there's not a huge resolution advantage in moving from eight to ten megapixels.

Could Canon have already decided this (I know they use different sensors) and that's why so many are dissapointed the 30D is still 8MP? After all, they have to keep the cost in the same bracket as the 20D. Plus the 8MP sensor was considered a good sensor when it came out.
