i'd like to see an EF-S 30mm f/1.4 that's a step up from the 28mm f/1.8. or a revised EF 28 would be nice as well.

What would be intresting to see (Not this year, but in the future) would be a Canon digital Canonet rangefinder series! Competition to the Leica M8 and Epson RD1 and a smaller alternitive to the big and heavy EOS cameras/lenses. Make it full framed and im shure there would be alot of intrest (And a market) for a camera like that.

Elan, all these predictions are very logical and about the 24-70/2.8 IS, well I posted that earlier :-)

However, my personal belief is that Canon is planning something in addition. I think that the word "legend" implies to something new. Something drastic as the 5D was. 3D? Not impossible IMHO.

Yakim,

I'm sure we could both go back to the moment word first came to light about the 17-55 as the point at which we both thought to ourselves, "they can't let the full frame go ignored at this range".

Anyway, here's one my earlier prognostications too.

Who cares who was first. Let's just hope we're RIGHT!

Relax, 24/8 is not about any new 1-series EOS DSLR. It is a new EOS model to complement the existing line-up and is placed in-btwn the EOS 350D and EOS 30D. In other words, a competitor to both the Sony Alpha A100 and Nikon's upcoming 10.2MP DSLR. That's all.

EOS-1D N - try looking/expecting it sometime in February next year prior to PMA Show 2007 and not now.

Lordcarl, if you`re right (and not just guessing) I don`t understand that Canon slogan (legend....beginning etc.). Just another boring camera.

New 370D ... the supposed succesor to 350D

SuperPeter provided accurate info on the last 30D release. But if what he says is true, then this is likely to be a yawner. Probably the same 8MP, 2.5", Picture Styles.

Hardly the beginning of a legend ..

another thread in response to that mail links to the following "EOS DSLR timeline" (it includes 370D, 3000D, 6D etc. all in 2006-07 timeframe).

http://www.dialogen.no/foto/EOS_cameras.pdf

Sourced from Canon camera musuem and dpreview 'leaks'. Not exactly official then. Nice context even if its all fiction. Lets see what they announce and how close it is to the "timeline".

Nice thread anyhow.

Wow. That document makes absolutely no sense whatsover. Lets see, the top of the line full frame bodies have always launched at ~$8k, and now suddenly they're going to launch one at ~$5k, with no other competition in that space? Yeah right. Also a 50D with 1.3x crop isn't going to happen either. Canon is committed to EF-S in that space AND they've mentioned they're planning to eventually get rid of 1.3x anyway, so dropping their midrange 1.6x camera doesn't make any sense either. I also highly doubt the "entry" level camera, if anything the price of the 3xx series will just come down to make it less expensive, but who knows if even that will happen. At least if you're going to have some totally baseless speculation, you might as well put in some effort to try to make it reasonable.

Well, I can't find the citation right now, but there was an interview with Chuck Westfall in a magazine available in PDF on the web where he implied that they plan to phase out the 1.3x sensor format. My bet is they will eventually be merging the 1 series in to a single full framed camera and perhaps providing a high speed crop mode for action shooting. Regardless, the point I was most trying to make is that I strongly doubt they will be getting rid of 1.6x in their prosumer bodies in favour of 1.3x, particularily if they continue to release EF-S lenses.

I have read references both to the continuity and the evaporation of the 1.3X format. That is probably the source of the confusion.

Yakim- the whole 1.25X thing is in regards to the actual size of the sensor... it IS a 1.25 crop, but rounding it to 1.3 makes it sound better.

the 5.0 Mustang wansn't a 5.0, but a 4.9L.....

I'm thinking the new Legend will be the reintroduction of the F1, with a 5D's sensor on board.
They'll call it the "New Canon F1N mkII D".... and then they'll release about a dozen more confusingly-named digital F1's in the following years, just to mess with us even more.

The only thing i'm truly hoping for is a new 18mm F2L "Hero" lens.... sealed, well corrected for CA/Distortion, and i don't even CARE about vignetting. I can fix that after i shoot.

That is very interesting.
In http://www.sphoto.com/techinfo/dslrsensors/dslrsensors.htm I saw the numbers and saw you are right.

No they won't drop 1.6x crop format, but they may add 1.3x crop to a non 1 series.

Well, it's possible that they will, but I don't think they would do so in a camera in the range of the #0D series, I mean, you can't have *that* many models competing for the same space, it's just doesn't make sense there. But I agree that they could release something in the 5D+ price range but not quite to the level of the 1 series. However, that's not what the aforementioned PDF was showing (it showed #0D 1.6x crop being replaced by 1.3x) which I don't think is very likely.

Are you serious? Trading to Nikon because of firware upgrades?

Why don't you just create a PS action called "Add Noise" or "reduce IQ" (hmmm...double entendre)? You can apply this to any image shot over ISO 400, and get the "best" of both worlds.

Canon has to compete with Sony and Nikon with a 10mp crop DSLR

the 15x22.5mm sensor (1.6 crop ) is a disadvantige they wil need a pixel density of 174/mm, how will that effect the high ISO performance ?

If the EF-S lenses can handle a 16x24mm sensor (1.5 crop) they need only 162/mm that is only slightly more than the 350D/20D/30D 156/mm
