Ummmm.....what about spot metering and fast flash sync ?
The D70 is an anomaly in terms of the fast flash sync, even the D2X
doesn't
have the fast flash sync. It's a real advantage to the D70, but it wasn't
like Canon decided to decontent it out of the EOS-350D in order to get
people to go to a model that has it.
It's a great feature to have. I use it quite a lot.
The spot metering is a real issue. I don't know if the Canon processor
can't
do it, or what. It isn't in the 20D either.
It's strange - I wonder why Canon don't do it....
The fast flash sync and the spot metering were two of the main things that
made me buy Nikon over Canon last year. As I had no major investment in
glass at the time, it just made sense. The other key things I made the
choice on were the faster/for longer shooting capabilities and the general
feel of the camera.
The lack of mirror lock-up is just decontenting. They do lock up the
mirror
for sensor cleaning, so the capability is there.
True. I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be a firmware hack for this
though...
