Robert,
thanks again for the valuable information. Your post about the Full Frame Sensor with your two comparison photos (Hooters girls) made me think. This is when I first started thinking about switching (plus I am NOT happy with the image quality of my D2H straight out of the camera, it requires a LOT of post processing). Well, although some of my problems could be actually coming from the main factor - the brainless guy at the controls [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Your samples of the concert are absolutely awesome, especially since they are straight out of the camera. I am aware that the D2H was not designed as a high-res wonder for glamour/fashion,architecture or landscape work but was hoping to be able to get some decent images (I bought it mainly for sports photography and had already the Nikon glass from my old D100). My first "closer" contact to a Canon was through Ed Hanson (at the Surf&Turf Supershoot) and I was blown away. Even the quality of the preview images on the (smaller, but sharper) camera monitor was a LOT better than my D2h... I am now fighting to color correct my images from this great workshop and have the impression that I am spending countless hours of correcting for something that shouldn't need correction in the first place.
Anyway, my biggest concern was the controls and ergonomics, I know that I can't go technically wrong with the 1DsMkII (or the 1DMkII). Both cameras are probably "overkill" for my capabilities anyways but I am also an "equipment junky" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
After my meter broke and sporadic AF failures (now fixed after 2 weeks at Nikon service-well known problem of the D2h) I just don't trust that thing anymore. I have to correct all images (lower red and yellow saturation) no matter what white balance or RAW conversion I try.
Thanks
Robert
