Let's take a look before we begin
Less than 100% coverage
Pro-DSLR:-
EOS 5D Mark II: Coverage Vertical / Horizontal approx. 98%
NIKON D700: Approx. 95 % horizontal and 95 % vertical / Approx. 0.72 x
100% coverage(aprox 100%)
Advanced DSLR:-
EOS 7D: Coverage Approx.100% (viewing angle: approx. 160°)
AND
Pro-DSLR:
The more expensive ones eg D3X/Alpha 900/EOS 1Ds Mark III
If 100% are so-called made mainly for more expensive pro-DSLR(At least it seems), why is a Advanced model(not pro) EOS 7D having 100% coverage, and the price if compare with EOS7D's "main rivals of it's class", is not a big difference? (If is meant to be sales/market strategies, it doesnt seems to make sense to me as for eg Pro-DSLR mainly/generally target the slightly higher earning popularity) What I meant is eg During manufacture if D700 can increase from its 95% to 100%, I am pretty sure, consumers(again generally) would not mind flogging out perhaps 1k more.
By not having the 100% coverage for the huge amount they would spend, instantly would turn some serious photographers away to other options.
Anyone can enlighten me? =) im new
