Guardian photographer extraordinaire Dan Chung took a look at Canon's new cameras yesterday - and he was mightily impressed.
I'm not saying it will do the job of the great photographer - you still need to compose and get yourself in the right place at the right time - however for many many jobs that I used to go on where you were stood amongst ranks of other photographers to get essentially the same shot, this camera would be a great leveler.
The photographer has no reason to fail, especially with ten frames per second at your disposal.
The OESD1Mk3, which comes in at $4,000, might not be cheap but it is probably going to become the weapon of choice for photojournalists - not least because its Wi-Fi pack essentially turns the camera into a server, which allows editors to log on to the camera and edit photos on it while the photographer is actually shooting.
