Too bad the air quality is crappy tonight!

Nikon has announced its new flagship DSLR D3 and APS DSLR D300. After reading their spec., I suddenly had a thought about switching to Nikon system. (However, just last 1~2 sec)
D3 spec:
New 12.1mega pixel FULL FRAME CMOS sensor by Nikon
ISO 200-6400 (expendable to ISO25600, WOW!!!)
New EXPEED image processor
New 51 point AF System (Canon 1 series only 45 point)
New CAM3500 Metering System
Frame Rate at 9fps in FF mode, 11fps in crop mode(5mgea approx.)
Dual CF card slot
3″LCD with 922,000 pixels (Canon’s only 230,000 pixels)
Liveview

The D300 is much like its big brother, only two things are different
12.1mega pixel CMOS sensor
6fps without grip and 8fps with grip(This is incredible! even 1D MKIIn has only 8.5fps(now I can say “only 8.5″ lol))
others are just like D3, 51AF point, cam3500, 3″LCD with 922,000 pixels, liveview.
Oh, and D300 has a 100% coverage viewfinder, SWEET!!!

Nikon also announced several lenses today. The list are here.
I can smell that Nikon wants to challenge Canon in the sports field because of their fast DSLR body(both are fast!) and 400, 500, and 600 VR lenses. Let’s see who is the winner in Olympic 2008. It is gonna be fun!!!

生命就像這滑鼠滾輪，你知道它終究會停下來，但不知道何時。
正是因為這樣，我們更要把握時光，活在當下，充實過每一天。
生活，工作，理想，現實，愛情，麵包，是不可能面面俱到的。
挑幾樣你喜歡的，用心去經營就好了。
等到你老來問自己，假如不後悔過這一生，那便足夠了。
日劇裡頭的人生哲學，一直在傳遞著這樣的訊息…

明日やろうは馬鹿野郎ですか

Canon EF 14mm f2.8L II USM Lens
Designed primarily for discerning landscape and architectural photographers, the Canon EF14mm f2.8L II USM lens is ideally suited to the EOS-1Ds Mark III’s full-frame capability. Measuring 3.7 inches in length and weighing in at under 23 ounces, this ultra-wide angle L-series prime lens is well corrected for rectilinear distortion, provides a 114-degree diagonal angle of view, and delivers high-speed autofocus with higher image quality overall including superior peripheral image quality, compared to its predecessor, the stalwart EF 14mm f2.8L USM lens.

While its large diameter, high-precision aspherical and UD elements, optimized lens element positioning, and flare and ghost-reducing lens coating ensure that this lens delivers the top optical performance in its professional class, Canon has added other features photographers have been asking for–improved dust and water resistance incorporated around the mount, switch panel and focusing ring, and a round aperture that creates a nice background blur and makes it easier to recognize an out-of-focus scene in less than brightly lit conditions. Furthermore, Canon has created a new lens cap specifically for the EF 14mm f2.8L II USM that is held to the lens by a stopper.

40D達每秒6.5張和連拍至17張的性能蠻不錯的，對拍鳥或運動的攝影師或許是一個較低成本的選擇（相較於1D MK III)。
35 zone metering system似乎是新開發，不過對有經驗的攝影老手來說再加上數位當道，這東西就不是那麼重要了（至少我自己是這樣認為）。
若是對30D的玩家來說，40D看似並無太大的吸引力；不過對20D的使用者若有想要升級，到是個不錯的選擇。

至於1DS MK III，看看就好～XD
