Re: New Canons

Just been reading about this. Canon have answered my wish list, I think.
1) Full frame in a compact body - 1Ds Mk2 is just to big for my use.
2) 12 + Megapixel - using 300 ppi print resolution should give just 
about A3 print size.
3) Better LCD display - Please please I hope the histogram is full 
screen. Luminance + RGB . My 10D histogram is just too small.
4) Plus the improvements of the 20D which I do not have on my 10D, such 
as instant on.
5) Spot metering.
6) What looks like a sensible price. Still alot of money but you get 
alot too.

I hope it lives up to the specs.

Peter.
