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.


whihc one?
canon sure doesn't make one then....

id rather 18MP and more fps and better AF than tired old AF, 3-4fps and 24MP

Hello,
I'm back I'm sorry but I have been very busy, we are so close to the new camera, the specifications will be like I told you before 21 MP camera it will not be a sport camera and It won't have a pro body neither a PRO AF. BUT IT WILL HAVE GREAT IQ much better than the Sony A900. I sold my 5D back in
August now I'm in short list to get my new camera as soon is available late Oct. early Nov.

No one is asking for anything extreme, but 5 FPS is NOT unreasonable and 11 or 12 cross AF sensors points, implemented like the 9-pt AF of the 50D, is also NOT unreasonable at a cost of about $3,000. I mean if there really isn't any improvement here, people will be tempted to hang on to their original 5Ds for landscape and other FF work and get the 50D for less than 1/2 the price.

Here is the sequence so far in Japanese :
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3063/2830160436_e20d287dc1_o_d.jpg
Rough translation : "Something that's at or beyond where evolution is going"
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3037/2846276716_9d802884c3_o_d.jpg
Rough translation : "A thing cloaked in great profoundness"; or 'beyond your imagination mysterious thing'.... guess it means it's going to be better than u can imagine.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3249/2850284344_66b8591a01_o_d.jpg
Roughly translates to 'the thing that exceeds innovation'

Who can translate the latest Japanese text please?

According to this Luminous Landscape essay

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/resolution.shtml

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


So you never shoot faster than 5.6? If 60mp matches 5.6, then it isn't wasted at 1.4. So what MP will I need to have to fully utilize my 35mm f1.4? I want however many MP that takes, plus 10% for good measure.

Sealed, both the buttons and the hotshoe. Here is an interesting tweak of the image showing a large 5 in the background.:

24 hours before the press conference/release and no really solid leaks yet? If only they would weather-seal the 5DII that tight...

Someone else on DPR is saying the translation of the last text is "to accept or catch everything".

Perhaps meaning, solid AF, >20MP with ~12MP sRAW for sports and low-light shooting, weather-sealed, etc.

Possibly a hi-res D3?? type of camera, equally useful for sports, portraits, weddings, and so on. Would certainly be nice.
