Een heleboel nieuw Konica Minolta nieuw van het Orakel KM SEA. Even ter verduidelijking, KM SEA is een officieuze lek van KM, meestal zit ie er spot on, en soms polt ie de gebruikers naar info en tips, zoals of een 9d nu een body met grip ingebouwd (please no!!), of een normale body met extra grip.
Samengevat gaat het over de volgende zaken;
Nieuwe firmware op komst voor D7D waardoor hopelijk een aantal problemen worden opgelost. zoals de flits issues en RAW displaying
Opvolger van de D7D wordt D7Di met minimaal 8 Mp Sony sensor , 1.5 x crop factor en snellere AF
Veel nieuwe Pro G objectieven met SSM motor op stapel, AF 1.4 X APO G convertor wordt AF 1.4 X APO G (D) Introductie februari 2006
Introductie van de Dynax 9 Digital tijdens de PMA in februari 2006, " Full Frame Sensor" en Tussen de 11 en 14 Mp sensor van Sony. Dit alles mag naar de media worden gelekt in november / december 2005. Anti shake voor een "Full Frame" sensor is technisch veel moeilijker te realiseren dan met de 16x24mm APS-C sensor.
Alle proffessionele opties van de Dynax 9 worden meegenomen naar de D 9 D
De samenwerking tussen Sony en KM gaat veel verder dan het uitwisselen van technische zaken. ( Berichtgeving nog onder embargo)
Er komt een nieuwe flitser aan nl de HS 5800 of de HS 6000 De al zo veel besproken flitsproblemen zullen dan tot het verleden behoren
Konica Minolta gaat definitief de strijd aan met de Canon Eos 5D en de Nikon D200.

There will be a another firmware update for the 7D. I haven't got all the details at hand yet but it should be very soon.
Yes the Af 1.4 Tele Converter has been discontinued because it has been replaced by the (D) model which is AF 1.4X APO G (D).
Somebody mentioned that they felt that the AF speed on the Dynax/Maxxumwas was quicker than the 7D this I agree with but I am led to believe this problem may be address shortly to. If not then please bare in mind that the replacement for the 7D is due out next year.
Yes the 5D is a fabalous camera but do you know in Japan the 5D is called "Sweet". !
The 9D will be released at PMA (februari) in 2006. Info will start to leak out to the press Nov/Dec 2005 also released at the same time will be a range of new "G" lenses with SSM motors.

Sony has developed a new sensor for the 9D also the 7D. The 9D will have a mega pix of at least 11-14. 7D will be no les than 8 mega pix.
They will both have anti shake. Regarding full frame on the 9D, yes as it stands right now. As you can appreciate this is no easy task as the sensors need room to move and one can only increase the body so much to accomodate this.
Regarding what I said earlier about KM and Sony developing a DSLR together which will be released under the Sony brand next year. Peter reply is that KM and Sony are only sharing technology. No this is not true. There is a lot more than I am not a liberaty to say.
KMSEA
you asked is there a new flash unit around the corner. yes, there is. Would you like to know the name of it? Right now it is referred to as the 5800HS when it is released in 2006 maybe the 6000 HS.( HS means high speed) If that is carried forward with the new name we will have to wait and see.
Glad to see that you guys are impressed with the 200D so am I but wait till you see the 9D. I guarantee that you will be a lot more impressed. More so than the 5D.( canon) Good things come to those that wait.
KMSEA
When the new flash arrives it will really be an upgrade on the existing model and very user friendly.

KM do traditionally announced new equipment in January - this is a long standing pattern. Talking with Paul Genge at KM UK, he 'doubted' that the Nikon D200 sensor (12.x megapixel) would be used for the next generation KM DSLR. This probably means he knows that the next DSLR does not use this sensor, for certain.
Paul, just talking, agreed with me that it would be better for KM to make a 10-12 mpixel APS C size sensor with very low noise and good high ISO performance, than a densely packed 12+ megapixel version likely to get criticised for noise. If the Nikon D2X had been a consumer entry level model, not a high speed pro model, the sensor in it would have been criticised even more for noise.
However, he had no hints to drop about when or what KM might introduce next - but, he seemed very buoyant and positive. As if he knew something which was already setting him up for a good 2006.

Hopelijk verschijnt er bij de release niet weer van die back/front focus problemen
