The CSI image enhancement option so that I can take a 3x3 pixel crop enhance it and then print at 2400 dpi on a 20x30 poster

Then may be my shots could compete to the ones on here :-[

P.S Hectic morning here

Actually, although TV overstates the case (as usual), it is actually possible to recover data that appears to have been lost using image processing techniques like deconvolution. I've seen things like completely blurred number plates which are totally unreadable restored to a point where the plate is clear, for example.

I actually often incorporate deconvolution into my workflow now, as it actually offers genuine "sharpening" (as opposed to USM, which is really just an optical illusion).

I voted for better dynamic range, although I'd also be tempted by a brigher, larger viewfinder with interchangeable focussing screens - I really miss my old split image finder when I'm shooting in low light and the AF starts to hunt.

Cheers,

Tim.

1. Accepts Nikon 35mm lenses.

2. Sensor size with same diagonal as 35mm film so that I can use my 35mm Nikon lenses without a crop factor.

3. Produces images of the quality of a Fuji S2 or S3.

I am all megapixeled out!!! Haha!!

Greater dynamic range, hands down out of the listed choices. After that, I'd like smaller sensor sites (pixels) while maintaining low noise. Then I wish lens based anti-shake technology was discontinued in favor of camera body based image stabilization. Finally, I want the totally meaningless (in digital) ISO setting replaced by a sensor gain adjustment with smaller increments. Digital has matured enough to shed the unnecessary vestiges from film and come into its own.

Rather than selecting 1 of these, I would want to rank them instead. I don't have a dSLR yet, so I would have to say:

1. More dynamic range
2. Other - the ability to view from a position other than immediately behind the camera.
3. Less (image) noise.
4. Other - less (acoustical) noise. My existing camera is acoustically quiet enough, but I would like something quieter than existing dSLRs.
5. Lighter weight (than most existing dSLR/lenses; I like the heft of my present camera.)
6. More speed than my present model; existing dSLR models would be fast enough for what I want.
7. Better color/white balance, though existing dSLRs are already quite good in this respect.
8. More megapixels - 8 megapixels is enough for what I want.
9. More weight - Hell, no!

Less noise. I want to be able to not sweat going to ISO 1600.

EDIT: This was an old post. I learned how to deal with ISO 1600 on my existing cameras, so that's no longer an issue.

Question: Vote! What do you want in your nex dslr?


its easy. the new fuji. just make the damn thing, and sell it.

[AlbertP]

From what I hear Canon is going to make the majority here happy with its next pro series camera. "Year of dynamic range" is how one Canon rep reportedly put it.

[jfrancho]

I think all the poll options will be improved with any new dslr offering. I'd like Canon to add either direct access to ISO control wither via a dial or buttons or assignable in the custom functions - without sacrificing C.Fn04-1.

[fantasiesimage]

I dont see a nice pretty neck strap on the list!!!

[jfrancho]

I think we're talking about camera equipment...

[heartseye]

Ho Hum.......it's always the equipments fault....isn't it?

Use what you have.....become excellent........pixels are NOT a breakfast food!!! Cheers Bob...

[jfrancho]

I'm not interested in "becoming excellent" - I'd rather achieve constant improvement.

OK....so you do not want to become excellent at what you do? An odd attitude I would have thought. Is the answer to be found in the endless aqisition of new and better cameras? Persoally I think not....cheers...Bob

[jfrancho]

I don't think you understand my point, so maybe I can clarify. Excellence is a moving, unattainable target. Once you become skilled in one area, there are new paths to explore.

[heartseye]

OK...I hear what you are saying here and I agree to a point. But excellence IS attainable but you then have to keep moving with it to keep it. I didn't express that very well but I think you get it.
But I think that the original subject of the thread is still mis-directed. Mostly, the equipment is much better than we are.....yet many see the way to improve as getting more camera features. I don't think that is true .It is within the photographer that growth is really unlimited.......DaVinci would not have painted a better Mona Lisa with a more modern brush.....cheers....Bob
