I just read a very interesting Canon 1Ds Field Report written by Michael Reichmann of Luminous Landscape with assistance from Thomas Knoll, who some of you might know as the original author of Photoshop. To sum things up, they basically came to the conclusion that the 1Ds surpasses every digital camera they’ve ever seen, and is preferably to film cameras in almost every situation. That’s quite a compliment coming from a reviewer with so much experience. I would recommend checking it out if just to see some of the beautiful test shots they took; the detail on some of them is really amazing. This camera is obviously out of my price range for the foreseeable future, but hopefully this will knock the price of the D60, which I’ve had my eye on for a while, down a bit.
commentThe D1s will not effect the price fo the D60. The cameras are aimed at different markets. The 1D is dropping in price. The only thing that will drop the D60 would be another camera i.e. D90 designed to replace it.
