The Evolution Teaser is ...well Evolving

If you look back at the Canon evolution teaser, they are showing a little more of the camera. No were near enough

to tell us a darn thing and don't bother to try and pull up the levels either. They blocked out any thing to show model,

verticle grip, and even the lens name. This most likely means new glass, which has been expected anyway. Enjoy!

I should give credit to "Luben Solev" at DPreview for the image above.

 

My real point to this thread is to point out that Canon must be useing this as a count down. Some think at the next full moon....but who the heck really knows. Also want to point out that I am not trying to push along rumors, this, as you can see, is right from canon themselves.

Yes, clever indeed. I want to point that is has a command dial, The "EOS" tag is located much like the 1D series cameras are, and to me it looks like the edge of the verticle grip in the lower left.

 

So you decide what all that means....I have my ideas but don't want to look like I am a roumor weed.

>>>"It would be interesting if they somehow managed to reveal it by coming up with something that would increase the levels by like 0.1% every 15 minutes or something"<<<<

 

Someone on the DPreview forum who, either knows Flash codeing rather well or is just a jerk, says that there is code that changes the amount viewable by persons location and time. Can Flash even do that? I am not buying it just yet, but I do know that how much you can see depends on the brightness of the lights in the room you are viewing your LCD monitor. I was looking at the site when the lights in my office went out due to some construction in our branch. At that point I could clearly see the "Canon" label and almost see the "EOS". I could even see the big blocked out area to hide the fact if the camera has verticle grip or not.

Yes you can do that in Flash to some extent... either by loading a new image at a given time interval (requires a lot of images, but a better way of doing it.

 

Or, just by changing the opacity of the current image... but I think it's the former. In fact, it would take all of maybe 20 minutes of coding if you understand actionscript. Very easy.

 

The location thing is easy as well, if you understand php.

Cool, Thanks for that. I have Flash Basic 8, but have never learned to use it. What a shame.

 

Anyway, "Raydee" pulled out the original JPEG from the flash file and it shows that the body does not have a verticle grip. I sort of wish it did (I know many do not for weight reasons) but it probably good that it doesn't for cost reasons. I hope the current 5D grip will work.

 

Anyhow, here is the image Raydee pulled out.

you guys must not know much about how to blow up a photograph and get detail. detectives on TV can take a picture of a car mirror 50 feet away and use some secret program to be able to read a page from a book in the reflection of the mirror...even if the book is a half mile away! get that program and all will be revealed....

It's not even worth figureing out at this point.... Would be ssooooo cool it was real. I know many will hate it though. Many wedding photogs love the 5D due to combination of Full Frame and smaller size.

 

BTW, yes we did go to the moon.....nearly 40 years ago at that! I just wish I could afford a good enough lens to take the types of images I have in head.

"The image above may be a hoax. Notice that the vertical grip is completely integrated with the body like the 1D series. Good try though. ;-)"

 

I thought so too... I just composited an image of a 5D and a 1DMkIIn. I forgot to stick the beer tap on the side though... then it's a perfect camera. Bad for the 'professional' image though (the beer tap and all)

 

Would be cool IMO... especially with the expected 22mp+ and all the other goodies likely to be inside.

<p>Perhaps it's built into the 5D II! That would <em>really</em> put Canon ahead of the competition. Hey, I hope this starts a rumour :-)</p>

A friend of mine who knows a guy that said he had spoken to his local Canon rep explained what they are actually.

Those two blue lines are likely to be Passive Infra Red (PIR) sensors that detect interesting scenes in front of the

camera and automatically take a shot. Naturally the camera will use the information gathered by the sensor to set

aperture, shutter speed, ISO for best results depending on the lighting etc. etc.

 

I think the photo with the integrated hand grip is a fake. My friend knows another guy who said that the 5D MkII will be

the same size as the MkI so it fits into the supplied forehead harness without obscuring the users vision. This harness

together with the PIR sensors this will allow for total hand and thought-free photography.

 

Thanks what I head anyway...

i think built in vertical grip is a possibility. why would they put a large black rectangle below the camera? if its just the model, they could have just painted it black or something... canon has not launched a camera with a vertical grip (accessory) attached to it. theyve launched the 1v, 3, 5,30, etc without one before, and so on. only the 1ds/1d series were launched with grips only because they were built in.

 

a smaller type 1ds/1d body could be very interesting.

Errol, my only guess as to why they would put the block there even though it does not have a verticle grip is to keep folks guessing/fighting over it. At this point no one knows if it does or if it doesn't, well not for sure anyway. I am still hopeing for two cameras. Of course if they do....they will probably put half the new features I want on one and the other half on the other camera. Oh well.
