It looks like the pixel wars are not over (also 16 bit). Interesting.

I love the simplicity of controlling the 1D when compared with say my 5D2.What features in particular?
Thanks!
Not too unsual these days. Canon high-end cameras are announced many months before they are released and not always at big shows. Consumer products gain more from being released at big shows.So, Canon pass over Photokina (the biggest photo event in the world) for a release of their much anticipated D800 quasher and decide to instead reveal a watered down consumer camera in the 6D.
Only a month later they announced the most eagerly anticipated camera in recent years at a photo show that anyone outside of the US has no idea what it is????
Probably just a marketing trick. Pixels wont be insanely small though. It will be 4.3 um pixels if I calculated correctly, the IQ180 has 5.17um.Why 16-bit? These are going to be really small pixels and the well capacity must be limited.
Worth mentioning Joe that there are of course plenty of Phase One DB owners who have no need for the Phase One body.Mal,
We (Phase One DB owners) all seem to be waiting for the "revolutionary" Phase One camera to replace the aging 645DF (and DF+). Otherwise, our IQ180 backs will become expensive paperweights. If Canon does introduce an EOS-3D X, I predict that your Phase One kit will get little use. Spoken by a guy who rarely uses his MF kit now that he has a D800E. Just sayin'.

Life is too short to be irritated by a thread posted in the "wrong" area, don't you think?... Which Might Irritate MF Owners.[/I]

"BTW, when did 35mm become medium format? Shouldn't this be in the Canon forum?"
Too late now. I complained about this when cell phone cameras were talked about here. It should be Medium Format Systems, Digital Backs, and Anything with Lots of Pixels, or Which Might Irritate MF Owners.
