"When the 7D replacement with the newly developed Sony cmos 10MP sensor is released at PMA in 2006 ( I did say in an earlier thred 8MP plus) you should try it with the this lens.

No it is not the same sensor. The sensor on the R1 will be going into the new two DSLR that Sony is bringing out in 2006. By that time there will be a slight improvement made to the existing one.

Regarding noise aarif you said that KM is second to canon in this department will I can assure you that in 2006 canon will be second to KM. Km have pulled up their socks regarding AF speed (7Di) and right now it is twice as fast than any DLSR that is currently on the market. By the time it is released it could be even faster still. Unlike film cameras of the past one good thing about digital before a product is shipped one can still make improvements up to two weeks beforehand. Chips just slip in and out so to speak!!. "

"We all know the announcement that KM made regarding downsizing their photo imiging division. (old news as you would say ) A lot of people are sceptical that they are going to get out of the photo imaging market. They are not. What they are doing is cutting back on the large range of models that they have at present. I personally think that market is over saturated with to many different models not only by KM but also Nikon, Olympus and Canon. KM will stick to producing top quality DSLR (or high value added products call it what you like ) like the 5, 7 and 9 possible an 8 as the 9 may be out of reach for a lot of comsumers. What is getting the chop (won't be replaced by a later model ) I believe is the Dimage X31, X50, Z10, 20, G600, 530, Z 10, 20 possible the 3. A2 possibley. (Yes I know what I said about it been replaced)

Will try to answer some of your queries now as I have a plane to catch in 3 hours. Flying to Miami to meet my 25 year old law student son who is back packing around the world.Then on to the land of the rising sun.

1) 7D replacement and 9D released 2006. Yes its AF is twice as fast. I did say before 8MP plus. At the time I was right now it has changed. If you want to be in the business of making money you always have to keep an eye on what your competitor is doing. If for example Canon brings out the 20D replacement next year with a 10MP sensor it would be very unwise for KM to bring out a 8MP sensor. As I said earlier things change constantly in the Digital game. "

" There will be new lenses released at PMA including "G" SSM and an upgraded flash if not at PMA then later on in the year. My biggest mistake was making statements to early in the game so to speak that will now stop. I will not be making any more again this year or what is left of it.By the way the only other forum I made a statement on regarding the 5 was ' dynaxdigital ' and I was insultated there so no more. By the way who the hell is Eugene? Go to go. "

"KM have listened to you. There is a lot more KM glass including "G" glass on the horizon. Please be patient! It is coming."

"Yes, it will be far superior in every department than the two models that you mentioned. A lot of thought has gone into this model and it is still on going. In the AF department it is fast. My God it is very fast. With the 70/200 SSM & 2X tele on I shot in excess of 100 frames of birds flying here and there and every one came out spot on in focus. One shot in particular I estimated was almost 1km high I even got the glint in the birds eye."

"When the new flash arrives it will really be an upgrade on the existing model and very user friendly."
