Re: [Digital BW] Optimum sensor size
2005-04-27 by Diane Fields
And for those that think I must be one of those that upgrades blithely, I bought the D30 used to replace an Oly E10 several years ago, bought the D60 the month it came out and held out for the 10D until last Spring when I finally caved in for the higher ISOs with a lot less noise (which is what I'm doing again--shoot a lot of available light). My desire for a very wide angle is driving me this time. I've considered the options and have decided that having one EF-S lens will be the risk I take. I gave up film totally several years ago so digital is all I shoot now. I do have to have backups/redundancy in bodies and lenses (to some degree) because of my commercial shooting which always is a very constricted time period. Sadly, old digital bodies don't bring much. Diane

I tend to agree--but what do I know LOL??!? I do follow this pretty closely though. And--I'm going to do something I said I wasn't--going to buy a 20D for now, relegate my 10D to backup and give my D60 to my husband (and find a 'donor' for the still nice D30). The 1DsMkII is way out of my ballpark--and I'm not even going to consider that it will be affordable in the anywhere near future. Besides, I'd rather put that money towards an Epson 4000. I've missed the boat on selling my previous body several times to get the maximum for it because I've always needed the camera for my soon to come parttime commercial shoots. This time--I have the 10D which is still a lovely camera and will sell it or the 20D just as soon as I learn a bit about the next generation. In the meantime I plan to buy the 10-22 and give up my bias against EF-S lenses because I DO think that Canon is rethinking its gameplan for size, sensor size.
