But fast flash sync is available in the 350D at a price - i.e. if you by a Speedlight model expensive enough. Spot metering, on the other hand, is unavailable, period.

There are always exceptions. http://etischer.com/300d/Tamron28-75.html It looks to me that the Tamron at f/4.0 at the ends and f/5.6 in the middle is about as good as lenses get. (Although it's a pity his 70-200/4.0 misfocused.) It's not coincidental that my Tamron has produced the sharpest images I've seen from the 300D.) David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

It's not like any major player is putting this feature into their amateur or prosumer models. But who knows. We haven't seen the spec on the D80 or D200 yet, but they should be out soon. |

"Steven M. Scharf" wrote in message link.net... [ ... ] 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... Well ... remember that when sensor cleaning, they recommend operating it from the AC power adaptor, which suggests that holding the mirror up drains the battery rather quickly. This seems to me to be adequate reason to not put it in the firmware -- either as an original feature, or as an aftermarket "hack". I suspect that the mirror is being held up by battery power full time while it is up, and that to provide a reasonable mirror lock-up feature, they would need to add hardware -- one solenoid to lift the mirror (and let it latch), and another to release it once it is time to do so. At that time, they could also add a mirror up, delay, expose, and mirror release features for extreme telephoto or for astro-photography.

There are always exceptions. http://etischer.com/300d/Tamron28-75.html Well, I was thinking about stuff like 16-35mm, etc. It looks to me that the Tamron at f/4.0 at the ends and f/5.6 in the middle is about as good as lenses get. (Although it's a pity his 70-200/4.0 misfocused.) It's not coincidental that my Tamron has produced the sharpest images I've seen from the 300D.) Nice. I might find that hard to believe, except for the fact that I already own one Tamron lens, the 90mm f2.8 Di Macro, and it is the sharpest lens I own. -- John P Sheehy |
