Sammanfattning:
Positiva:
* Excellent resolution, pulls ahead of EOS-D60 (just), no moiré at resolution limit
* Good color, if different response than the EOS-D60, Adobe RGB delivers better accuracy
* Noise free 'silky smooth' images
* Very low noise levels even at ISO 1600, virtually unnoticeable below this
* Images not 'over sharpened' or damaged by visible sharpening artifacts
* Excellent long exposure capability, some 'stuck pixels' in very long exposures (3 mins plus)
* Both reduced shutter release lag and reduced viewfinder blackout are noticeable
* Vastly improved auto focus system, focuses twice as quickly, works in much lower light
* Seven point AF and Registered AF button
* Very clever 'smart buffering' means you can almost always take the next shot
* Good metering, still no specific 'spot metering'
* Good manual preset white balance, average automatic white balance, Kelvin option added
* Much less of a 'dust problem' than other competitive cameras (special filter?)
* In-camera programmable 'parameter sets' to control image processing algorithms
* Adobe RGB parameter, although it's a shame you can't combine with other parameters
* RAW mode provides the 'digital negative', about 1 stop of latitude in over exposed images
* New and improved File Viewer Utility is a vast improvement, still slow however
* Remote capture software for studio setups
* All metal body feels solid, robust, reassuring quality
* Built as a Digital SLR from the ground up
* Easy to use, integrated digital / photographic controls and displays
* Improved control layout, power switch is far better
* Playback magnification up to 10x (perfect for checking focus)
* Orientation sensor for automatic image rotation
* Improved, higher resolution and brighter LCD monitor
* Full Canon EF lens compatible
* Improved IBM Microdrive performance, better than EOS-D30 & D60
* Good combination of both full auto, scene and manual exposure controls
* Highlighted AF points
* Top panel LCD illuminated
* Custom functions to control camera operation
* Excellent battery life, light weight and small batteries
* Excellent supplied software suite
* Superb value for money, even better than the EOS-D60!
Negativa:
* Opening the CF compartment door shuts camera down, loses any buffered images
* Average automatic white balance performance, we expected more
* Confusing sequence of lights in AI Servo auto focus
* Stuck pixel noise in very long night exposures (3 mins plus)
* Viewfinder view is smaller than film or full frame digital SLR's
* Five levels of parameter adjustment is welcome, but why stop there?
* No parameter adjustment with Adobe RGB color space selected
* White balance not fine-tunable
* ISO sensitivity not displayed on viewfinder status bar while being changed
* Slow RAW conversion
