Tywais Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I might be giving it a miss Won't your new flickr proceeds cover the cost? "The S2 has a 37.5 megapixel Kodak CCD sensor which measures 45 x 30 mm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magoomba Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Wow and at 37 Mega Pixel, the lenses must be something else. I was turned off Leica kit when my uncle, who was and still is a professional nature photographer gave away his R3 or R4 (I forget now) and went back to his "Trusty Canon F1" as he did not like a camera that was smarter then him.

Magoomba Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Love my G10 - bang it around all day in the glove compartment, trouser pocket and the bottom of the laptop bag. It still turns great photo's, once I remove my name and Phone number from the Exif data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulcan Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Makes the new 60 megapixel Hasselblad, at a mere $30,000, to look like a bargain p.s. ya get a lotta film for that money :D Edited August 16, 2009 by The Vulcan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeon Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 no way, in 2 years or so you will get that resolution for 1/10 of the price, and you will use the lenses you use now (I hope so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordlys Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Looks impressibely compact (EOS 1D/1Ds, Nikon D3/D3X size) for a camera that incorporates a sensor 56% larger than full frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeon Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I mean other models/brands with that resolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Love my G10 - bang it around all day in the glove compartment,.... Watch the temperatures in the glove compartment. It can play havoc with the rubber seals and shutter mechanism of the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulcan Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 I mean other models/brands with that resolution Actually there was a rumour of Canon going digital MF but I can't see this really happening. Would be nice though for Canon shooters - but the cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
