[Cam] Cheap full frame from both Canon and Nikon @ Photokina

I think you will need to pry the crop cameras out of birders hands.

Until you can sell full frame @ $600, crop camera don't go away, not sure where you think $1500 is the price most people are willing to spend on an SLR.....

And, as SueS mentioned, there is a large portion of the shooting public that *likes* the crop due to the "extra" length they get

I too feel that crop sensors aren't going anywhere. Not only do birders like them but also macro photographers. They are also appreciated by astro-photographers who use full frame image circle lenses on them because they end up with edge to edge sharp images. No stars with coma, vignetting or fuzziness at the edges of the frame.

And cheap is a relative term. When one can buy a half decent two lens camera kit for under $1000, the $1500 price tab can be quite expensive for just a body.

I don't think the crop cameras will die but would love to check it out... I like shooting portraits and would welcome a full frame easily...

ready to see how the ISO compares to the d700...
