Anyone expecting any mind blowing technology from Canon next month?

<p>How about a full frame 7D , that would be a great camera if they would keep the same size pixels.<br>

<p>I won't be surprised if the 1Ds IV is announced. And sure, it'll blow my mind. Or at least my budget. But then, I shoot with a lowly 5D mk 1.</p>

<p>Also, a successor to the 1000D would be no surprise... perhaps one that adds video but otherwise has minimal changes.</p>

<p>A 60D would surprise me, though. I don't believe that model will ever be made.</p>

<p>Mind blowing? No.<br>

What I do expect:<br>

1Ds IV<br>

1000D replacement<br>

A couple (or possibly 3) of new lenses, probably the 24-70 f2.8 L IS as one, and a reworked 100-400 L.<br>

Given how quiet they've been on the topic, possibly a mirrorless model, too, although that might need to wait 6 months.</p>

<p>There's been rumours of a 680EX flash, but as an addition to the lineup, not a 580EXII replacement.</p>

<p>1Ds Mark IV and 60D with the latest incremental updates (60D retains consumer-level AF). Nothing mind-blowing. No 5D Mark III.</p>

<p>I sure wish people who don't want video on their DSLR camera's would just go get a 5D and leave us happy video shooting 5d2'ers alone. I am happy the price of the 5D2 is not lower other wise everyone would have one and would be harder for me to make money.<br>

I would love to see a 24-105 or 24-70 F2.8 IS</p>

<p>I wish they would create a full frame sensor camera with only manual modes and with an FD mount so as to breathe new life into the millions of beautiful FD mount lenses around the world that are gathering dust...doubt the stupid marketing guys would ever let that one happen...</p>

<p>1. 55-110/2.0 IS.</p>

<p>2. 35-105/2.8 IS that competes with primes in sharpness and doesn't distort and vignette like crazy at the wide end. Oh, yes. With internal zoom, internal focus, and a "zoom hood" that pushes the hood forward/back as you zoom out/in.</p>

<p>3. 5DIII with much lower noise at ISO 100 and 200. While the screaming rants about banding at ISO 100 over at a certain Amazon-owned English site have been silly, both 5D and the 5D2 ISO 100 images lose it when boosted two stops. ISO 100 pushed two stops shouldn't be all that much worse than ISO 400.</p>

 

<p>I hate green square auto mode.<br>

I have two choices:<br>

Stamp my feet and shout about wishing Canon would remove the facility<br>

or<br>

ignore it.</p>

<p>Those who hate ECF, Video, etc. Guess what? There is an off switch. Might be on the camera, might be in your head.<br>

No likey, don't use.</p>

<p>5DMKIII so that I can finally buy a 5DMKII for about $1500.00</p>

<p>Sounds like your mind is easily blown...</p>

<p>Best reply thus far. Kudos Dan. </p>

<p>Happy shooting,<br>

<p><a name="00X2b2"></a>Why are you underexposing two stops? I don't know what you expect. The 5d2 has incredibly low noise at 100 iso, among the best of any digital camera in existence.</p>

<p>"Why are you underexposing two stops?"</p>

<p>I'm not. But the subject of this thread is "mind blowing technology", and a 13-stop DR at ISO 100 (instead of the very nice 11 or so that we actually get) would actually be quite mind blowing, at least to people who know how hard it is to make circuits with that little noise in them. (Actually, there are lots of photographic reasons to want to be able to push two stops at ISO 100: HDR from mutiple conversions of a single raw file, scenes that a zone system bloke would develop at N-2, for starters.)</p>

<p><em>A couple (or possibly 3) of new lenses, probably the 24-70 f2.8 L IS as one, and a reworked 100-400 L.</em></p>

<p>That would be my choice for something new. And perhaps a sharp 24-105 f/4 L.</p>

<p>well, it would be nice if they introduced something with bigger sensor (something like leica s2) + 3 nice primes to go with it - just a new line of cameras mainly for studio to compete (properly) with MF... if they used their cmos sensor in size comparable to MF - 33x44mm or around that (i'm not even sure if it's technologicaly possible, i mean cmos in this size)- and they made some good glass combined with 3 or 5 AF points and let's say 60 mpx, the image quality would be probably amazing... i would even accept price bracket that could go with it (15k €£$ for camera)... that would blow not only my, but probably other people minds... <br>

just wishful thinking :)</p>

<p>A significant dynamic range improvement in the 1Ds IV or 5D III . It shouldn't be too difficult. There exist already "wide dynamic range" (WDR) security cameras and high speed motion cameras which combine per frame a short and a long exposure. Effectively in-camera HDR. Since DSLR sensors now can capture video this is a logical next step.<br>

Plus a 17-40 mm f/4L II with IS this year or next year - Nikon already released an equivalent.</p>

<p>Big second on expanded dynamic range.</p>

<p>While were seconding things, I'll second a 17-40/4.0 L II. Pleeeeeeeeeeezu! Even at 1.5x the weight and twice the price if the corners are sharp.</p>

<p>Yes if you <strong>consider articulated Screen </strong>mind <strong>blowing technology.</strong></p>

<p>Something awesome would be a mind-blowing ISO 1,000,000 with barely no noise at all. =]</p>

<p>33x44mm or around that (i'm not even sure if it's technologicaly possible</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Technologically that's not a problem. But it is horribly expensive since the yield of working sensors would dramatically drop.</p>

<p>Daftest comment I've seen a forum for a long time! Mine's sharp and pretty much everyone else who has one says it's sharp. If yours isn't (if you have one) then send it to Canon or if it's new, get a replacement.<em><br /></em></p>
