I definatly will look into this one once people start selling it used/refurb. Looks like a killer crop! Test images show excellent ISO at 1600, and even good/usable at 3200 and 6400. Impressive!

not bad

all it needs is the full frame sensor and this would be a PERFECT camera body. Be nice to be able to go down to ISO 50 also.

Someone just told me about this yesterday. May make a good companion/back-up to a 5D MkII.

8fps is freakin good, if it has the quality of the 5d thats even better i dont care now if its not a full frame.. lol

seems like everyone is becoming more and more focused on DSLRs having video and how good the video is. it's a nifty trinket, but doesn't seem like it should be such a focus point of the camera's performance.

are we starting to reach the ends of making them take better photographs?

yeah that video doest shine on me too.. i dont care if it has one. speed and quality is what im after

sounds like a pretty sweet body to me

Well said. Leave the video for the video cameras.

well i dont want to dog the video function completely. i really like how the D90 can shoot video. it comes in handy sometimes, it really does. it's just not the main selling point of the camera for me or anything and it feels like everyone is getting all hot and bothered with having the best video quality. i'd rather see the focus on better performance in the picture department.
