On 8/22/2008 10:28 AM Annika1980 spake thus: Full specs on the new 50D can be found here. Looks like a 40D with slightly more megapixels. http://www.photographybay.com/2008/0...fo-leaked-real This post is off-topic for this newsgroup, rec.photo.equipment.35mm, which is concerned with film cameras that use 35mm film, not digital cameras that look like 35mm SLRs. What is FILM??? The charter for rec.photo.equipment.35mm does not mention film. The post is on-topic. it's definatly ON TOPIC..I have often shot 35mm with a DSLR. No, you only think you have. No I don't. I shoot with a 35mm sensor in a dSLR. 35mm is a film format. It is also a digital sensor format. In both cases, the image is 36x24mm +/- some tolerances which have never actually been defined for the film medium, but are often provided with the camera, whether film or digital. The DSLRs are 35mm camera look-alikes. Some are, but that does not mean that ALL dSLRs are 35mm look-alikes. -- Kennedy Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's ****ed.

I guess film will disappear within 5 years. While that is a possibility, film will continue to exist for a while in some niches. It will take some time for instance before we have the digital equivalent of a large format camera. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus 50X0, 8080, E3X0, E4X0, E5X0 and E3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Good question, but I've got a better one: what is "digital"? Ask me in a couple years when film is gone Stop repeating yourself, that's an old one... |

David, how about getting a life instead of playing the cop ? BTW, do you know what is a killfile ? I'm in one of my kill-file moods where I lose any interest in arguing with trolls, net-cops, and obtuse posters, and simply add them to the filters along with the usual subject words of premodded game consoles, watches, jeans, shoes, make money on the internet, etc. It's amazing how large the message filter log gets in just a few days. One key thing in Thunderbird's news reader is to kill-file globally rather than by individual newsgroup, as many of the problem posters are posting on many different subjects in many different groups. |

The 50D is NOT a 35mm camera nor does it have a 35mm size sensor. Read the charter. why don't you? And what about the charter explicitly mentions the item being discussed must have a 35mm sized sensor? The Canon APS-C series cameras, Nikon DX series & the equivalents from other brands, all possess a lens mount that is derived from older 35mm film cameras. All are capable of mounting the same lenses that would be used on their older film cameras. All use the same flashguns, in many cases they use the same remotes, etc. Canon, Nikon and soon Sony (and bets are on for Pentax too) have digital cameras where the sensor size is essentially the same as the usable area on a standard frame of 35mm film. These cameras are most definitely 35mm cameras, even though they don't use 35mm film. In almost every respect, the smaller format cameras are either identical to, similar to, or derived from, 35mm film and/or digital counterparts. Considering the charter of rpe35 does not mention the word "film", but simply mentions 35mm equipment, I personally consider the discussion of these smaller format cameras to be totally on-topic. Judging by the proportion of posts that discuss these cameras, vs the number of complainers, it would appear my view is in the majority. Discussion of MF format cameras would be off-topic, and there are no surprises that MF format is rarely discussed in rpe35 except where comparing it to 35mm. When you compare a typical MF format camera to a 35mm camera you will see very little in common. In fact I would say there are more similarities between small-format DSLR and 35mm FSLR, than there are between MF FSLR and 35mm FSLR. The life of a newsgroup can and will take different courses as society progresses. Bear in mind that these charters were prepared 13 years ago, and a hell of a lot has changed since then. Unless you want rpe35 to wither and die, this sort of thing should be allowed to be discussed. |

As somebody else wrote, the charter also mentions half-frame cameras and cameras with an APS-C sized sensor fall in this category. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus 50X0, 8080, E3X0, E4X0, E5X0 and E3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |
