I will do some more research if I can get this confirmed
Doesn\'t sound bad at all, especially if the digi 4 co processor hints at something between 7D and 1DX AF with more towards 1DX!
Only thing it lacks is effective reach and max detail, a shame, but hey that is what the 5DX Mark II is for in a few years. For now we get it all but but detail and reach and in 2015-2016 we get it all.
These specs would make me happy indeed.
This would basically be the long awaited digital version of the EOS 3!
I\'d for sure be down trading away my 5D2 for this beast and sticking with Canon.
Of course sure they could drive 30MP and that would be nice but I think they decided on 18MP for 1DX and having to fab and design a whole new sensor for 5DX would cost too much and raise the price more than lost sales I guess. The Cinema EOS DSLR doing 4k video might mean it needs 32MP sensor for 4x4 combines so that might be the high MP intro and perhaps a 1DXH as well for 2013? Then 5DX2 in 2015 with 6fps, top pro AF, 32MP, etc. Then 2018 8fps, even topper AF, etc.
I do understand those wanting more max detail/reach in it, I would too, but it seems the PJ crowd wanted to top out at 18MP and they didn\'t want to yet risk $ on second sensor design and also cost more 1DX sales, maybe too much losses in that. If demand is extreme they might whip out a 5DXH for 2013 though, at a bit of a price premium, maybe $1000 over the 5DX.
