The '3-ASICs' name would imply that the particular camera has 3 such chips inside it. See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asic -- Brendan Gillattwww.brendangillatt.co.uk GPG: 0xBACD7433 You are correct. Olympus' image sensor engine is called TruePic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TruePic However, I thought I recall that saw about 3-ASIC being mentioned in Olympus website for their image processor in their earlier pro DSLR E-1. But I could be wrong. |

oups.com... There were Sony's Bionz, Lumix's Venus III and Canon Digic III image processor engines. However, we never heard an official name of Nikon's image processor engine..... until now. Nikon has finally announced its new EXPEED image processor engine. How is this name useful to consumers, I wonder. Are people still impressed by unknown terms? I don't see automobile manufacturers publishing names of their engine management computers. |

I guess Nikon does not want to be left behind by the competitors in
trying to entice the consumers with all of the fancy "engine" SNIP Unfortunately Nikon are only now making full frame 12 megapixel camaera, Canon were doing this 3 years ago, I rest my case......... |

Nikons are behind the times, it will take more than a fancy name to make them good again. Nikon: 9 megapixel short and 3 years too late. (Canon 1DS MKIII v's Nikon D3) or Nikon: 0.7 megapixel short and 2 years too late. (Canon 5D v's Nikon D3) |

The two segments where they lag are both in full-frame. They have no competitor (yet) to the EOS-1Ds Mark III, or the 5D, but give them time and I'm sure they will. |
