bob_jones12 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Or do they usually announce more at the show? I'm wondering if most of the new cool stuff is announced pre-show, ie only the 10D and the 17-40/4L, and now we're done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 My guess is we are done for the serious stuff. Wouldn't be surprised at some consumer film/digital P&S/printer announcements. <p> In fact there were a bunch of such announcements, but they didn't make much of a stir!

carl smith Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Dang, no black G3. Looks like new Polk speakers for Carl. Oh goody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Well, you can get the new 5MP S50 in black... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl smith Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 bullhockey, i wanted the more advanced G3 features, and the bigger body. I kinda wanted some nice speakers anyway. :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin_ng Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Just for your interest! Did you note that Sony announce a new DC Cyber-shot V1 that look like G2/G3 but significantly smaller and lighter? http://www.letsgodigital.nl/webpages/events/PMA-2003/news/sony/V1_uk.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl smith Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Yes, indeed I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac sibson Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 No one seemed to notice the new film EOS body... Rebel GII Although I can't help feeling I've seen it before somewhere..... (Dan Funk did notice...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_everett Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I was hoping Canon would come out with a revised 550EX which has a distance or sensor based exposure mode which will overcome the confounding exposure problems with high-contrast scenes.

steve_dunn2 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 <p>Jim, a new flash can't solve that problem. Flash metering is done by the body; the flash simply emits a burst of light when the body tells it to, at the strength the body tells it to. To incorporate distance information into E-TTL would require a new flash system in the body.</p> <p>Many (though certainly not all) Canon lenses already return distance information to the body - they have done for years. Apparently, Canon hasn't introduced distance-based flash metering due to patent issues. Too bad.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac sibson Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 That would be a surprise Steve, since Minolta recently introduced a new flash system that works on distance information, and their new lenses include a distance system and "D" signifier (sound familiar from somewhere?). However, E-TTL seems to work very well in most situations on film bodies and with the 1D and 1Ds. The problems appear to be mostly confined to D30 and D60 users, and of course the 10D remains to be seen. I suspect that a lot of the problem lies in users expecting the flash system to magically come out with the right exposure with no work on their part, as there are a fair few D60 users who have learned the flash system completely and have no problem with it. I feel that there may be an element of user error to it. Canon haven't helped matters by not telling anyone how the system works though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eos 10 fan Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I'm expecting some big @55 gl@55 to be intro'd.<br> Something like the long rumoured 500mm f/2.8 DO IS USM.<p> Probably some other stuff too (430 EX perhaps?)<p> -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl smith Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 That 17-40 4L could be my next lens too... would be nice on my EOS 3. :) I'm not one to jump on these "oh goody" threads, but I do like the looks of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eos 10 fan Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Canon could be saving a few good bits for <a href=http://www.cebit.de/homepage_e>CeBIT</a>. <p> There have been rumours of an EOS 3 based 8Mp digi box. <p> -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
