AF would be the main reason for meYes, I have no desire to own a Nikon other than that chip as I really like my Canon's but having both 1DS3 and 5D2 I see no reason to upgrade (?) to a 5D3.

Yes, never thought of the 5D3 focus improvements, a worthy upgrade over the 5D2 however, 95% of every shot I take is with a TS-E......AF would be the main reason for me
If I would switch to Canon again, it would be the 5D3 for me without any doubt. One of the best cameras ever designed!Yes, never thought of the 5D3 focus improvements, a worthy upgrade over the 5D2 however, 95% of every shot I take is with a TS-E......
Now don't get me started on the 45mm TS-E replacement.
Just to keep this thread going so Canon gets some band-width hereWhile looking on the net I stumbled across a site called Canon Rumours and what struck me is how little activity there is regarding (as the site title suggests) Canon rumours.
Seems rather strange just a few days before Photokina opens?
I remember before the 1Ds3 launch there was lots of info bouncing around about it so has Canon locked down its R&D department or is the D810 rival still months and months away (2015 or even Photokina 2016)
What is the issue that adds so much more time in post?I'll tell you one thing, be careful what you wish for. I've found that the drive for ever better Dynamic Range has added huge amounts of Post time. Okay for those fiddling around with a few images, but a real PITA for people like me who push through 1,000+ files per week-end shooting weddings. I hated my Nikon D3X because of that.
In my experience some cameras tuned for, or capable of, greater dynamic range tend to produce flatter files out of camera. This is great for more shot-to-shot consistent lighting scenarios and/or lower volume shooting where additional time in post is not an issue.What is the issue that adds so much more time in post?
With regards to events like Photokina I always thought Canon did what the hell they want like pulling out of shows they've lost interest in to releasing cameras (1ds3) when they were ready (August 2007?) rather than wow crowds at shows.
And now I see the 7D2 announcement /specs I think that Sony A7R is looking ever more likely to be in my hands before the end of the year.
I shoot a lot of interiors and quite like that flat look. I just wish I didn't have to use a Sony with a crappy adapter to get it......In my experience some cameras tuned for, or capable of, greater dynamic range tend to produce flatter files out of camera.
