16mp +/-

better af, more af-points, more spread af-points
spot-metering at af-points
iso 100-12800 (50-25600 extendable, usable at iso6400)

That is all I want :P Is that too much to ask?

So your saying you hope they don't replace the 5D, but make a small 1series? I hope they replace the 5D.

Like the Nikon D700 a small 1 series would need to be something like 12mp. Since Canon can only do a bit less than 100mps in a small body.

I think the camera will match a prediction, but that may only be common sense.

Yes, no leak is pretty amazing with only 36 hours left!

I think that there's been a leak or two, but they're very obscured by all the speculation out there.

By who's definition .... and why can't Canon rewrite the rules in order to gain a competitive edge over Nikon?

Just a reminder that it's a 5D replacement

There is a need to a small body 1 series. But don't blame the 5D II. By definition the 5D does not have all the pro features, but it does have a similar sensor.

The 50D does have upgraded AF, BTW. Many people just seem to count the AF points.

a 60mp FF sensor is MTF50 diffraction limited at f5.6.

This is as rediculous as saying that an exceedlingly fine grain film like EFKE-25 (or Pan-X for you old timers) is diffraction limited. Diffraction is a function of the lens aperture, folks, not the sensor (or film) resolution. A higher resolution sensor may be able to reveal the effects of diffraction better than a lower resolution sensor, but that is no different than a higher resolution sensor being able to reveal a lack of sharpness (or other optical imperfections) of any given lens better than a lower resolution sensor.

Exactly.

So with all of us checking this rumor thread all of the time,what are the chances of actually getting one when it comes out? I've asked BH if they have a waiting list for the new 5D and they said no, because they weren't even sure how many they are going to get. God, this sounds like an iPhone scenario. Maybe I just wait a few months until someone like Steve Jobs brings the price down.

I hope they have a bunch ready when they release it...

If it's just a 5d with more MP and live view and auto clean I'm going to be very disappointed. There's no reason to upgrade if that's the case...

I would upgrade my 5D if the replacement is a 21 MP, Digic IV, 14 bit, 4 fps camera. And keep my 1DMK2 for sport shooting.

I don't understand why people would expect the 5D to morph into a sport camera. That sounds like a different FF camera to me.

Thats exactly how my friend described it to me when he had his meeting at Canon. Total leaked shot. I love how there is no actual button for TV.

I like your specs and would do the same, FF sports camera, pay 2k more and go buy the D3.
