For quite some time Canon has been top of the DSLR pile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At 24.4 rumoured full frame megapixels this sensor will give you a reasonably big file. If you need a BIG (as opposed to plain big) film is still a very good option. I have been approached by clients with BIG needs knowing I still shoot a lot of film. The fabled D3x may make BIG a closer reality with DSLR cameras.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The potential D3x is starting to get my attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I keep a digital camera in my stable for editorial and speedy needs but film still does well for my stock and gallery needs. Claims that digital is <strong>cheaper<\/strong> than film are fewer now as people recognize the <strong>high cost and quick depreciation<\/strong> of digital cameras and necessary equipment compared to film bodies. The D3x may depreciate over a longer (for the industry) useful timeline because of the <em>relatively<\/em> big file size. My scanner still wins for quality at the BIG sizes. <em>So the D3x rumours have my attention.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The gossip:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/forums.dpreview.com\/forums\/readflat.asp?forum=1021&amp;thread=27581087\" onclick=\"return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fforums.dpreview.com%2Fforums%2Freadflat.asp%3Fforum%3D1021%26amp%3Bthread%3D27581087','DP+Review')\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DP Review<\/a> &#8211; Login may be required<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikonwatch.com\/?p=300\" onclick=\"return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nikonwatch.com%2F%3Fp%3D300','Nikonwatch')\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nikonwatch<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2008\/04\/15\/24-4-megapixel-nikon-d3x-dslr-in-the-works\/\" onclick=\"return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2F2008%2F04%2F15%2F24-4-megapixel-nikon-d3x-dslr-in-the-works%2F','Engadget')\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Engadget<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/imaginginsider.com\/?p=22790\" onclick=\"return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fimaginginsider.com%2F%3Fp%3D22790','Imaging+Insider')\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Imaging Insider<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Truth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Want to try some pro or semi pro gear?<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.headshotsrentals.com\/\" onclick=\"return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.headshotsrentals.com%2F','Headshots+Rentals')\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em> <\/em>Headshots Rentals<\/a> is offering students on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harrynowell.com\/workshops\/workshops_event.htm\" onclick=\"return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.harrynowell.com%2Fworkshops%2Fworkshops_event.htm','Bike+Race+Photo+Workshop')\">Bike Race Photo Workshop<\/a> a chance to <strong>borrow<\/strong> some pro or semi pro available rental equipment as part of this course!
