alan_green4 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 actually, there is a possibility this new body will be a crop body. but, what i've heard is that there will be a full-frame body between the 50d and 5d/2. so...there's where we stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_green4 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 okay, sorry. this guy is talking about the 5d/2, not the camera(s) between the 50d and 5d/2. apologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_green4 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 the same source says, "Now for the new 1Series we will have to wait for next year." this is the second time i've heard reference to a new 1D coming next year. previously the source implied there would be a new 1D as soon as april Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_green4 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 this adds color. clearly the 1ds/3 will be replaced sooner than would have been expected -- unless canon has fallen asleep at the switch http://www.photographybay.com/2008/09/04/first-sony-a900-ad-leaked/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlos_miami Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 They better hurry up and release it already. I don't care if it doesn't have video. If you really want to mate video with an SLR, just buy a $100 flipcam and mount it to your hotshoe like I did with my Lumix LX2: <a href=" title="how to get live-view and movie-mode with a 5D :) by miami fever, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3038/2818896011_7878c3e8b8.jpg" width="500" height="351" alt="how to get live-view and movie-mode with a 5D :)" /></a> <br> more info: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alec_myers Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 >>SLR, just buy a $100 flipcam and mount it to your hotshoe Cool. Does it come with replaceable lenses and open up to f/2.8 or f/1.4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandit Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Probably not, but atleast it will AF. Can you imagine trying to shoot manual focus video with a handheld camera at f2.8 (let alone 1.4)? That is a joke. Vandit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_quinn1 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 only 4fps seems unlikely to me, perhaps 5 Or 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillbound Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 i can't believe it will be over 5...the 1Ds3 is 5 and that has two processers... it will be 3 or 4 most likely and possibly 5 or maybe Canon will finally adapt a pretty cool Nikon concept and make a grip that can take a 1D battery and up the frame rate a little....

jason_hall5 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Ummm interesting....Nikon and Sony showing up with a 25 MP full frame so close to one another. And the Sony seems that it will hit the market first. I know I am not the first to assume Nikon is buying this sensor from Sony. I guess that really doesn't matter. Many think this is a blow to Canon. While it is the first time the 1Ds will have direct completion, but it would be silly to think folks would jump ship over it. Unless it has really amazing low noise or a built in beer tap..... If the next Canon full frame (aka 5D mkII) truly has 1 stop less noise than the new 50D, this could really be just what I was hoping for. I think 21MP is too much 75% of the time, however, with the option of sRAW, it will be a very versatile camera indeed. If this thing delivers what I hope for....I will sell both my 40D and 5D and the 17-55 f2.8 to get it. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo_dark Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I won't be selling anything, but I certainly will be waiting in line at the store when it flies. This is exactly what i've been waiting for. Low noise, ultra ISO, large megapixel Full frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_hall5 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 >>>"While it is the first time the 1Ds will have direct completion"<<<< -ME Should read "While it is the first time the 1Ds will have direct competition" Picked wrong word in spell checker while trying to hurry.

jason_hall5 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 >>>"I won't be selling anything, but I certainly will be waiting in line at the store when it flies."<<< Well I would rather not sell anything, but it looks like the only option if intend to get this before its replacement hits the market. Of course that maybe next June at this rate. I would also imagine I will wait for the price to drop after the first mad rush and stores will be able to keep it in stock for more than an hour.

photo_dark Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 "I would also imagine I will wait for the price to drop after the first mad rush and stores will be able to keep it in stock for more than an hour. " That is the smarter option of course. Really depends on the MSRP though... if it's over $3,000 i'll be waiting... if it's between $2500 and $3000 i'll probably be there the day it releases.

tdigi Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Canon is smart with all this hype. I just got back from a trip where I used my 40D with my L lenses and I am really happy with the results and I see no reason to upgrade but all the hype does make it interesting. Maybe next year for me. Fun time if your moving from a 20D or a rebel or a serious pro looking to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_quinn1 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 isn't one of the ff nikons 5 fgps? So wouldn't they want to be at least that fast ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliot1 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 "I am really happy with the results and I see no reason to upgrade" Me too (I have the 5D), yet I STILL WANT TO UPGRADE! I have NAS and CAS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_hall5 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I think the folks that this is going to target is not geared to very fast frame rates. Wedding, portrait and event photogs don't really need it. Sport and action photographers often (I know not always) like crop bodies. Also to have a high frame rate on a 21mp full frame camera would call for some massive processor power and mind blowing through put. That would add a lot to the cost of the camera making it less of a option to many of the folks it is meant to appeal to. "You can not have your cake and eat it too", as the saying goes.

jason_hall5 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Remember, the Nikons are only 12MP at their current frame rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo_dark Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'll take 21mp (with low noise) and 4fps over 12mp and 5fps any day. I already have a 40D (6.5fps) which is fast enough for anything I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo_dark Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 From the Japan site (my comparison)..... No major groundbreaking body changes from the look of it (except LCD screen i'm sure)<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
