Who has such camera? Tell me how it to shoot with. Or better not to spend money on such camera and a bit later choose Canon EOS 1Ds Mark 2 Digital? 8000$? Cost to much for me now!
Do I really need "Full frame sensor"?


Originally developed by Canon, this high-resolution, 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor sets the standard for its class, featuring a remarkable 12.8 million effective pixels for a maximum recorded resolution of 4,368 x 2,912 pixels. Second-generation on-chip noise reduction is enhanced for easier use with a choice of two modes: ?Auto?, to engage auto noise reduction when noise is detected; ?ON?, to engage noise reduction for all exposures of 1 sec. or longer. From smooth gradations and wide ISO speed range to effective suppression of false colors and ultra-precise white balance, this sensor matches the image quality found in the flagship model of Canon?s EOS digital SLR lineup, EOS-1Ds Mark II. These refinements are the result of sophisticated DIGIC II imaging engine technology.

Thanxx!
