- I must say, I'm really impressed by the flash system of the combo
- N90-SB25. 5 segment flash meter, pre-flash exposure metering, while the
- mirror just has moved up, and incorporation in of distance info to
- arrive at an optimum exposure.
-
- If only there was a camera with the N90-SB25 flash system and the EOS-A2E
- autofocus system....
-
- Now, as long as we're dreaming here, how about...
-
- *** N90-SB25 automated flash (without the pathetic bounce card, thank you!
- Let's hear it for LumiQuest!)
- *** Full field AF with the A2E selection mechanism, in either portrait
- or landscape orientation.
- *** Focus point biased meter. (flash and ambient)
- *** Off camera cordless flash control, a la 7xi/9xi.
- *** Quiet operation...A2(e) style.
- *** Customizable control...akin to most EOS's
- *** On demand MF...like EOS USM's (note, A2(E) doesn't have this for
- L-class USM glass in the custom function list)
- *** Nikon low-light AF
-
- Plus the usual:
- *** High sync speed, high shutter speed (1/8000+)
- *** MLU, DOF prev.
- *** Two wheeled, like 9xi, 7xi, A2, 1, Elan
- *** AA or lithiums
- *** Built like a tank (and/or a stepstool).
- *** Side release/controls
- *** interchangeable screens, backs, battery packs
- *** PC socket, remote
- *** spot/center weighted meters
- *** mounts Canon glass ;)
-
- Hah! Maybe I should start my own camera company!
