What we want is a FF body to fill the gap between the 50D and 5D II at a cheaper price.


Spot on !! :thumbsup:

But that could also be the very reason why Canon wouldn't be doing it..... The sales of their 5D series would be affected if this is to happens.... :sweat:
 

Latest gossip from Canonrumors.com:


"Canon EOS 7D?
This is the gist of a message I received about the upcoming SLR announcements.

Announcement of at least 1 DSLR on September 1st/2nd (Depends on planet location).

Specs were sketchy at best, but the following information was given.

- First Prosumer dSLR with Dual DIGIC processors from Canon.
- First Prosumer dSLR with dual card slots from Canon.
- Camera will NOT be full frame, but no crop given.
- Video features will best the 5D Mark II.
- Better AF as compared to the 50D & 5D Mark II.
- Noise Control is better than 50D and arguably better than the 5D Mark II.
- Very similar pixel density to the 5D Mark II."

This seems reasonable for me.
Good spec that almost on par with 5DII, but not a FF.
Not FF, means Canon still keeping the sales of 5DII, since those want FF will still go for 5DII.

So, could this be a win-win situation for Canon?
 

I was thinking the specs fit the replacement for the 1D MkIII which is overdue. But the word "prosumer" kinda confuses me, cos 1D series are not a prosumer cams.

Could 'prosumer' means the XXD series?
 

yep, Prosumer it not a 1D, that's for sure... but Canon probably will release a new 1D body soon.


According to the Website..... they are..... together with 7D.

Anyway.... Sept is coming soon.... just a few more days to go !! :bigeyes:
 

The price gap between xxD and 5D MKII is quite huge. Thus I hope Canon comes up with a product to fill the gap.

Waiting.

:Later,

But those specs are so unlike the XXD series. Unless Canon decided to really do a full scale retaliation against Nikon's D300? Canon's move from 40D to 50D was weak and desperate IMHO.

If those specs are really true for XXD, I don't think the noise will be on par or better than the 5D II. Maybe close to, but not quite as clean. They won't let the 5D II be killed off.

It's not really the price gap, but the feature gap which isn't that huge. So the trick for Canon is to give a FF DSLR while offering ideally nothing more than what a 50D offers in feature/function with a few well-placed cripples.

It's like watching a Cirque du Canon :bsmilie:

The 7D rumor started way back in January. The specs are off, but the concept of the camera has been correct.

I’m promised more to come.

Wow, 7D to be an APS-C? Interesting.
Another non-L, will it be an EFS?

with L macro, is it mean the hybrid won't be appear on new 70-200 f2.8? so no more new 70-200 f2.8?

Interesting to wait for it!
 

1.6x crop?? :( Bleahh...

I'm more interested in the new lenses now...
 

All dua kang one lah hahaha... let's just wait till... 1st of Sep? Speculation will kill us all.

This makes more sense. Dual Digic4s? So the FPS must be quite high then.

In software parlance, the 5Dm2 is Canon's Windows Vista. Neither here nor there, and not exactly every WindowsXP (5D classic) owner rushing to upgrade either :bsmilie:
 

What a relief. Finally, a camera that looks GOOD to me. I will be the first in line. :D
 

CR3 from Canon Rumours... Hmm.. This sounds more like a threading more in 1D3 teritorry then the 5D2.
