FULL FRAME, WELCOME BACK

( - 10/3/05)

Day one, I can't believe how much I love full frame. No longer doing the new math on lens selection. Looking through the view finder you notice how much you where missing with a smaller chip, the view is wide and spacious. The focusing points are easy to get to with the toggel. The display screen on the back is large enough so you can see detail without zooming, excellent screen resolution. At 12.8 MP's I don't need to go into detail on image data it's more detail than you would ever need. I took an image of my 9 year old face, took it to 100% in photoshop and was amazed to see all the fuzzy hairs on his face I never noticed before. If you have shot Canon before the learning curve is zero. This camera reminds me of the time I got my first medium formate film camera, with larger negatives or files you can get higher paying jobs. With 12.8 mp I wont have to upgrade every year, maybe I can skip a year or two.
