I hope one day full frame cameras can go down to 1500 Euros level, but they currently seem stuck at 2000, which is too much for the average amateur.

This one is 2,599. But then, the rumour mill said 2,999. And its a lot cheaper than the D3.

Not that it makes it affordable for an average amateur like myself.

Non-CPU AI NIKKOR: Can be used in exposure modes A and M; electronic rangefinder can be used if maximum aperture is f/5.6 or faster; Color Matrix Metering and aperture value display supported if user provides lens data


So, same as a D200/D300, but good to know that MF compatibility has not been crippled out.

The drawback of the Canon 5D and EF mount is that does not accept EF-S lenses, like Nikon does (Pentax could make the same, buy mounting APS-C lenses on their FF body, when they will release it). May be Canon will made some changings and the camera (5D II) will work with EF-S lenses. This would mean that it could accept lenses that could not be mounted on the present 5D because of the bigger mirror. Although this is not expected to happen.

It's almost texactly the same price as a new boiler and associated work. Somehow I don't think I could have persuaded my wife that a new camera would have a been a better investment though Wink

Richard, its the summer! Even in the UK summer is warmish, no? Leave the central heating until the start of winter in October or whatever it is there.

sweltering in 35degree heat here ...

Ha! That's when everybody else is looking for a plumber and prices go through the roof.

About the Canon EF-S lenses, they could be used easily on a FF camera if there was an option in the software to only refer to a central area of the large sensor.

Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF-S_lens_mount is written that "...Canon designers have taken steps to ensure it is physically impossible to mount EF-S lenses on EF-only cameras. This is because the increased proximity of the lens to the sensor means that on full-frame sensor or 35mm film EF cameras the lens itself would obstruct the mirror's movement and cause damage to the lens and/or camera."

Ah, I didn't know that, thanks. The instructions for my camera say only that the EF-S lenses are not compatible with FF cameras (film or digital), which I took to mean that the image circle is too small. The projecting part of the 18-55 kit lens is surrounded with soft rubber, maybe that's why! Smile

Are there any decent EF-S lenses to worry about? I thought they are only the kit lenses.
