Forgive me if this point has already been made. There are far too many
threads and posts on the 5D mkII and the 50D already.
I think the just-announced 50D bodes ill for a 5D mk II, but I hope I'm wrong.
The 50D is a 15.1 megapixel body, compared with 21.1 megapixels for the 1DsIII.
Would Canon bother to introduce a prosumer body that fits between these two
pixel counts? I doubt Canon will make a 5D II that matches the pixel count
of the flagship model -- unless they take the Nikon approach, which they've
resisted doing so far. If the 5D II is also a 15 megapixel body, but full frame,
will it be worth substantially more than the 50D price?
I would prefer the larger sensor and would pay more, but how much more will
the market support?
I dont think Canons done yet..they upgraded the display,sensor,HDMI yes a gimmick but more useful than the blue button...I dont think they are going to stop at the 50D do you?
I do think there is a 5D Mk2 in the coming month with these upgrades and more mps
I do think there is a 3D in the works a baby 1 series if you will...to me this makes sense
people want a weatherized body based on the EOS3 and Canon should listen...Nikons D90
is going to fill many holes if Canon doesnt do something quick...
BTW we dont want HD recording on a DSLR
Hiya. Isnt DIGIC Spelled like DIGIC IIII instead of DIGIC IV? I know it does not make any sense but thats how Canon does it in their webcast (which is impressivly informative by the way, you should really check it out)
I;d like to know what Nikon next move is now!
(oh and you can find webcast on the canon website http://www.canon-europe.com/thefutureofphotography)

There is a 5D replacement coming soon. And other FF soon.

And (from what I know) the new 5D replacement, along with, later new FF, are also deeply impressive cameras carefully targeted knowing the specs of the new Nikon and Sony FF. They are far from the ‘warmed up” 40Ds that we would have had if the 5D replacement had have come out last year.
Curious what the second FF is gonna be like.
This time, it better have an improved AF sensor...
The 5D Mk2 is WORSE than the warmed-up 40D in terms of features.
