    Default Poll - Feature that would make you want to upgrade

    Hi - Nearly all camera companies now have a fairly mature lineup of DLSR'S - Nikon with the D3S AND D3X and Canon with their 1DMK4 AND 7D.

    So how do they improve with future models??
    More megapixels??
    Higher ISO performance??
    better quality video - autofocus
    radically improved AF
    3D
    PRICE DROP on medium format to the point of same price as top end dlsr


    What feature would be a absolute I have to go out tomorrow and buy it feature for you and WHY!!!
    If I have not included it IN THE POLL - just add it here.

    Should be interesting.

    One thing that's not on the list is a wider dynamic range.

    I added the 'dynamic range' option. I think a multiple-choice option would have been good.

    Definitely better high ISO performance. The ISO 2000 of the new Mark 1V images look like my 50D's ISO 400... of course there is the price problem too :(

    I didn't see an option to make more than one selection. It would be good if it were possible, though. I have to ask James.

    I voted for dynamic range, but would have liked a multiple selection option. AF can always be improved. Even the best new cameras could be tweaked. Doesn't mean they are bad, just that improvement is always a good thing. Of course ISO 12,800 as good as the current ISO 100 is a good thing, and while we're wishing, medium format quality at DSLR prices, and 8 fps would be good as well. Well, wishing continued, let's have a price point around $3,000 ;) Wishing is wishing after all.

    Interesting that video didn't get any votes, although I'm not surprised. Seemed odd to me that such a big deal was made out of this addition to the new DSLRs...
