From canon's point of view, smaller sensors would mean smaller glass which would mean lower costs.

I kind of like the lack of vigenetting on my 1d2.... and my bank account awaits a product worthy of being purchased.... and I have been waiting almost two years now.......

Great, this will be hitting the market right after Nikon's D80. Canon just loves to keep them in their place.


It's not as though Photokina is unexpected.

it seems a strange place to put a teaser for sure.
Could be an elaborate hoax.
But certainly something's afoot!!!


Actually, it's a second example of what might be the Canon modus operandi.

In February 2005, two execs at Canon-Spain dropped the hint of a "new camera between the 20D and 1D Mk II later this year." Later that year, a brochure--in Spanish--suddenly appeared for the 5D, and a couple of weeks later, voila.

Okay, so soon after the last Photokina, the Canon exec in charge of the Middle East region drops a tidbit about the "next generation" of 1D camera being both high speed and full frame.

Now we get another hint...from the Middle East region.

Hmm.

Its entirely possible that what Canon considers "ground breaking" "revollutionary" or so on could be totally at odds to what most photographers would consider to be such.

As an example Canon seems to think that people want/need direct print buttons even on the most high end gear, yet has anyone Ive ever meet said they want/need that, or even use it ? Nope.

To me, some new sensor technology, some good fast DO long lenses, new wide angles, IS built into the body, heck even a MLU button would be cool.

But hey, we might just get an XT N with picture styles
...Show more



In the all and all though nothing is as groundbreaking right now. Canon seemed to jump quite a step with Digic II.

Nikon Users seemed to be happy to get a camera that compared to the current Canon (but not exactly surpassing them per say).

People started preaching about things like weather sealed bodies and so on because they were all that's different. Otherwise it's just another camera with a higher megapixel count.

I know it's not saying much since i have canons 2 latest cameras in my sig. Kinda hypocritical. But I think Canon was kinda smart to do a generation gap type approach.


If not this one, the next drop will be another hammer.

This year
August will be different
24/8/06
Every legend has a beginning



"Every Legend has a beginning" do they mean Mark II Ds. The Mark II Ds seems right now like the very best SLR so it could be refered as a legend so a new Mark II Ds would start a new begninning. Unless its a totally new sensor, Digic chip etc...nobody is expecting.

Who is not expecting Digic III and a new sensor?

i highly doubt the new Nikon (D80) will really be anything worth talking about. Hopefully this new "Legend's beginning" will be what we've all been waiting for, in some form or another.

The new Nikon looks to be a D70 replacement--hardly earth-shattering stuff. Canon sure is talking a big game on this one, calling it a "legend" and whatnot. You gotta hand it to them--that's a very intriguing mini-teaser.

August 24th is when Hurricane Andrew hit, I know, I live in Miami.

Canon is known to be working on a native sensor that starts at a much higher ISO. For lower ISO work you would use ND filters. ISO 800 to 6400 is the word. What type of body they would put it in, I don't know. I hope this is that project.

That sounds very promising. Throw in a pellicle mirror, and you've got something.

I thought Photokina comes in October, not August. If I'm wrong, I stand corrected, and this is all very boring and dull.

But if I'm right about the date, here's an explanation: Canon was going to be rolling a lot of stuff out at Photokina, but Nikon put up its teaser campaign on its sites for what is supposed to be the D80. Canon may have moved up the grand premiere of whatever it has because it doesn't want to let Nikon have anything over it.

I'd say the safe bet is Canon will release something we can't already buy Beyond that who knows, but we all have our wishlist of "If Canon would only make a ...".

I hope it's something good enough that will stop my boredom of 35mm digital at the moment. It better be 16 bit gosh darnit.

September 26th to October 1st. Releases usually trickle out before that already, though.
