Obviously too early even for a preview, but so far, I'm impressed! ISO's up to 6400 are pretty usable; 12800 is OK, but you have to do some pretty heavy-duty NR to make it even somewhat usable. <br><br>Even then, if you want the shadow recovery, you can't use ISO's 100, 6400, or 12800 (which is what it uses to give the expanded dynamic range). Still, not a bad trade-off, especially since you can make it a two-button-push switchoff.<br><br>Image quality is impressive. For Canon shooters, that new screen is an answer to prayer. The detail, brightness, and clarity -- even in sunlight -- is VERY nice. The new menu system is familiar but greatly polished from previous iterations. <br><br>Ergonomics are familiar to anyone with a 40D; to any Rebel shooter (as I was) it's like moving from a cardboard box to a Park Avenue apartment. The balance with my flash and lenses completely alters the shooting experience.<br><br>More as I become more familiar.arpboyFri, 03 Oct 2008 15:06:53 -0000
