18Mp on a crop sensor is just madness. I only hope this is some kind of special sensor like a Fovean or Fuji EXR. A Straight 18MP Bayler sensor will have major limitations -.not least the Diffraction limitation and noise from the minute pixel pitch.
and a spare battery (apparently these are worth £170?)
LOL? Where did you hear that? I guess that's how much the battery grip will be
I think the price over here is fair but I dont see why it's the same in $ exactly :/
[Edit] It uses the LP-E6 battery, same as the 5D II which are £30-60 for official ones. You can only really buy official ones because they are chipped to give more detailed battery meter info, third party ones will just show empty in the camera.
Not seen the price of the Canon but the Nikon Equivalent 16-85 is not cheap.
Expect the lens to have great quality form wide open. The Nikon is too expensive for what it is but is still an excellent lens. The wide end over 18mm lens is a godsend.
RRP set by Canon UK so we have no choice at launch
Is it just me or are all the image samples so far, well, rubbish?

View that at 100%, it's shocking for ISO100. It's worse than my 10D :/
lol @ DSLR wars between Canon and Nikon, its hilarious!
The 7D does look quite good though, and available for pre order at £1699, its undercutting the D700.
