Swimming with the Razorfishes

Wednesday, August 10, 2005

Rumors are bouncing around the web today about a new digital SLR from Canon:

  • Called the 5D
  • 13MP full frame sensor
  • Around $3500
  • Relatively slow (~3 fps)

I'd be really tempted, should this be true. The "leaked" manual that has been floating around seems like a fake to me.

  • It's the slow frames per second rate that would make me pause. It makes a difference in real-world situations. What else is there about this one that makes it compelling to you?

  • I leave my camera on continuous drive, and I rarely need more than three frames per second. I'm hard pressed to think of someone other than a sports photographer really needing that speed.
