I think this announcement gives some clarity to Canon's offerings over the next couple of years. First, it makes it clear that Canon is willing to use the old 7 label and I believe they will use the 3 label (i.e., a 3D is coming). Second, it is clear the throughput with 2 digic IV processors is about 150 megapixels per second. Third, I think this camera is not a 1.3 cropper because there will be a 1D MKIV that is a 1.3 cropper. So here is what I think the line up will be coming out over the next 2 years:
1Ds MKIV - about 30 megapixel FF with about 5 fps all the other typical 1D features - $7,000
1D MKIV - about 15 megapixel 1.3 crop, 10 fps, all the other typical 1 d features, $4,000
3D - about 25 megapixels, FF, 6 fps, pro AF, two digic IV processors, 100% viewfinder (maybe # megapixels and fps will change but they will multiply together to about 150 megapixels per second - so maybe 21 megapixels at 7 pfs), $3,000
5D MKII - 21 megapixels, FF, 4 fps, old AF, 1 digic IV processor, 98% viewfinder - $2,200
7D - 18 megapixels, 1.6 crop, 8 fps, pro AF, two digic IV processors,100% viewfinder - $1,800
60D - 18 megapixels, maybe slightly better AF, 6 fps, 1 Digic V processor, 95% viewfinder - $1,200
If this is right there will be a lot of choice and everyone will be pretty happy, but as Pixel has been saying the pro AF in this camera (if it has it) indicates that other non-1D cameras will have it as well and to me that me the mythical 3D is coming before too long and will compete very well with the D700 and it successor....Show more →
I think we are likely to see digic V by then and that you underset 1Ds a bit
guess:
1D4 18MP, 1.3x crop, dual-digic V, 12fps, 1D4 AF $4000
1Ds4 36-40MP, FF, duali-digic V, 5-6fps, 1D4 AF $6000
3D 21-24MP, FF, digic V, 6fps, 1D4 AF ( ?) $3100-$3400
5D3 36-40MP, digiv V, 3.5-4fps, 1D4 AF with no assists and few custom settings?? (? might they have only 5d3 or only 3d?) $2700
7D 18MP, 1.6x crop, dual digic IV, 8fps, 1D4 AF $1700
1 series get larger RAW buffers, better sealing, integrated grip
then repeat starting with 7D2, then 1D5, then 3D2/5D4 etc.
or maybe instead
1D4 18MP FF, DD V, 12fps (or 21MP and maybe 10fps), 1D4 AF $4800
1Ds4 40MP, FF, DD5, 5fps, 1D4 AF $6000
3D 21-24MP, FF, digic V, 6fps, 1D4 AF $3100-$3400
5D3 36-40MP, digiv V, 3.5-4fps, 1D4 AF with no assists and few custom settings?? $2700
7D 18MP, 1.6x crop, dual digic IV, 8fps, 1D4 AF $1700
who the heck knows
i just worry whether canon like the idea of the 3D, i hear they HATE it and will only do it if d700/d700x go crazy and so on and so forth
even though in many ways the 3D would be the most ideal camera for a great many (providing you are able to go $3000ish)
