Someone spends $7500 for a Canon EOS 1Ds because it gives them a FULL
frame, 11 mgp sensor that reportedly - I have not used it - produces
truly gorgeous images. They don't buy it simply because it's a Canon.

Martin, this sounds like it's devolving into a good ol' film vs. digital
debate.  Whyu does anyone spend $8,000 on a Canon EOS 1Ds?  Check the
archives; I'm sure the answer is there.
