There's an interesting article in this month's Pop Photo (or is it Shutterbug?) anyway, the author talked about photos that surface on the Internet of the next, "new" Canon cameras that are obviously doctored-up. He said he saw one that was a supposed successor to the 1Ds - except it had a film re-wind button (it was really a 1V) on it. D'oh!! That said, interestingly enough, the same article speculated that a new 8 Mp camera from Canon would surface at the PMA in February. And even though I can't speak French, I muddled through grubbel's page a bit and it looks pretty legit to me. Perhaps an advertisement fell out of someone's briefcase somewhere. ;-) Bottom line - we probably won't know for sure until they announce it officially or start sending out evaluation units to people. If true, it'll make some big prints! Best wishes . . .

Hi,

 

I cannot do a full translation, but here are the main differences with respect with EOS 1D (I):

 

- 8.2 Megapixels

 

- Up to 8.5 frames/second for the new buffer of 40 Jpeg frames or 20 RAW frames

 

- New processor New white balance (ultra-precise)

 

- 2 slots for CF and SD

 

- 50 to 3200 ISO (in fact 100 to 1600, but with possibility to go to 50 and 3200 trough CF (??))

 

- New E-TTL (They call this E-TTL II); will work with EX

 

- LCD screen of 230000 pixels.

 

- CMOS sensor.

 

- Much more expensive :-) (Did you expect the opposite ?)

 

Regards,

 

Olivier

Here is a rough translastion of one of the PDF files listed above. There was mention of April 2004- so maybe thats when this will be out. I wonder if the 1Ds will get any improvements. Here it is below:

 

 

Directly inspired of the EOS-1D, the EOS-1D II becomes the new

reference pro: Sensor CMOS 8,2 Megapixels, motorization up to 8,5

i/sec up to 40 images JPEG in sequences, new processor DIGIC, 2

residences memory board, news measures E-TTL with the flash.

Again, Canon confirms with an effectiveness and a speed of innovation,

its total engagement in the development of its system numerical reflex

camera EOS. After the advent of the EOS-300D, the numerical accessible

one to general public, after the very general-purpose EOS-10D, and the

EOS-1DS with sensor full format, Canon reconsiders the front of the

scene with a new occupational numerical reflex camera which comes

logically in the place from the EOS-1D. the EOS-1D II is not satisfied

to be a simple substitute but on the contrary, is affirmed within this

numerical range EOS by a marked personality and many innovations which

will allure the most demanding professionals.

 

the EOS-1D II is a esthète smoothness of image thanks to a sensor

CMOS of 8,2 million effective pixels for a quality of image of very

high resolution. It is also affirmed like the tool of infernal rates

on many plans: give rhythm of catch of sight carried uninterrupted to

8,5 im/s (8 im/s for the EOS-1D) with a number of maximum sights per

sequence of 40 sights in broad JPEG (21 for the EOS-1D), an

exceptional endurance of the obturator: 200 000 releases minimum

(150.000 for the EOS-1D), a port IEEE 1394 to 4 pins allowing a

transfer at the speed of 100 Mo/s. It adds to it from now on a

remarkable speed of image processing thanks to its processor DIGIC of

new generation and an increased speed as regards writing on the memory

board. In the field of storage, not only the EOS-1D II accepts the

supports of recordings of more than 2 Go but it in addition has 2

residences to use 2 types of memory boards (1 CF and 1 SD) whose

recording can be simultaneous or selective.

The total control of returned colors is ensured by 5 matrices with

clear identification of their specificity (Standard, Portrait, High

saturation, Espace Adobe RVB, weak saturation) more 2 matrices

personnalisables and a histogram RVB which makes it possible to

control the distribution of the primary colors in the image. The

EOS-1DII allows a new approach as regards adjustment of balance of the

white by the integration of a numerical filter color which makes it

possible to apply effects of corrections equivalent to those obtained

with filters DC (9 levels of correction in bleu/ambre and

magenta/vert). A new measurement flash E-TTL even more precise,

with analysis of the distance from the subject via optics. It offers

also a comfort increased in the phases of visualization of the

recorded images: a display screen of 230.000 pixels for an optimal

resolution in posting of the images recorded, rotation of the vertical

sights automatic or manual, possibility of enlarging of 1,5x with 10x

on 15 levels, video exit. Compatible Pictbridge a simple connection

USB with a printer makes it possible to immediately print after the

catch of sights the photographs carried out. Software side File Viewer

Utility profits from a new development which increases its

performances and the possibilities offered to the user: speed of

treatment of files RAW, faster posting of the images, pallets

separated for adjustments RAW and the adjustments from tonal curves,

posting of infos IPTC (infos of telecommunications) and new function

of enlarging of a zone of the image for an accurate check of the

development.

8.5 pictures a second

 

40 pictures memory in JPEG Large mode

 

New DIGIC processor

 

Ultra exact white balance control

The above where it has question marks- ignore. Its just showing the features of the camera. Here below is the chunk of text from the second pDF file:
