I don't know how stupid James is, but because they had IQ. Its success. Konika and Minolta where never interested in their customers needs. My issue is IQ. Canon is best in it. Nothing else. Punch babies. Eat kittens. "There is no problem!" If I would have been Canon

I could agree with everything you said, I just didn't like the marked word. There is no reason for a "but" here. It's like you said, though it doesn't have a lot to do with the freedom of speech, but Fred's rules in the first place. I try to obey them and have EOSfun! Nothing more nothing less! Please, back to the rumors (or knowledge if you are into it )


So even if many FM members say they are much annoyed by your "EOSfun" as long as it complies with the rules you don't care right? Imagine I am playing the drums in your backyard for hours every evening until 9:59:59 PM. I am for sure annoying you (I am such a bad drummer) but I comply with the rules/laws so I would have the right to turn you around every time. Would you like it?

So where are these EosFun pictures? I don't believe I've ever seen you post one here. Do you have a website?

Sure Jeff, I understand your curiosity. But indeed I do not post pictures of any kind, professional nor private under this alias. Have EOSfun!

I you own a 5D now, would you upgrade to this model? Lets say it goes to ISO 25600 and has 1080p video.

Maybe not him. But me. I like the idea. Best is "I am such a bad drummer!"
And the idea of Canada as Netherlands backyard is nice. Use it. Your right. I guess, you have to be a loud drummer, too.

Yes, but only if it had a significant upgrade in AF.

The real problem begins when (as a result of the first farter) others join in farting left and right in the elevator. To

Wow .... it's looking better and better! New battery and new integrated grip? All good, I guess. 24mp is a little scary though .... but heck, logic dictates that if they can get it right with the 1Ds III then it follows that 24mp with the new Digic IV will be even better.

I do not own a 5D so I can not answer your question.
But of course I am missing some information.
IQ (I guess its great) ISO range/performing (lets say is not said), sealing, AF, framerate, shutter life cycle.

New grip means the old 5D grip won't fit.

it'll shoot at 20fps, have a 48x36mm sensor with 50Mpx and totally noiseless ISO 25600, use brain-controlled 3,000 point AF (via the new cortical implant firmware upgrade), and use only Canon's new LLL (triple-L) lenses with red, gold and green stripes on the barrel, first model of which will be the uptown top ranking 10-500mm f/0.75 zoom (tripod collar and hood extra). It will have quadruple liquid-nitrogen-cooled DigicV processing with an optional refrigerant recirculating battery grip. The "order pizza",

You can see the obvious changes : the moon is brighter, the light now hits on the lens. The Japanese is also changed, anyone can translate the new text?

When I increased the level on PS, I can see the word EOS...

Can't wait to see more changes!


Any Japanese speaking members around? I only know 3 Kenji in that text... it says something like "Deep XXX secret XXXX....."

If they bring out a 24 Megapixel 5D2 I'm wondering if all of our existing lenses are going to be up to the job. Mine are all fine at 10 MP (on my 40D crop) , but I have no idea what they'll look like at 24 MP and full frame.

Any thoughts?

Deep XXX secret? Looks like this camera will really be EOSFun, eh? "Take measurbating to new heights with our XXX Secret Camera"

Now, if Canon can punch a few babies in the ads, we will know the existence of a higher power

Personally I'm not interested at all in 24MP -- it's a little sad that this has become the showcase of new cameras. Still, let's see how the high-ISO performance and AF is (which are two of the primary concerns over the original IMO).
