Canon 1Di or something like it
October 24th, 2008 Posted in Other News
I received another email that Canon does have something like the APS-C
22fps camera in development. However, it may not be a camera that ever
reaches market.

I actually think there is a place in the market for a product like this. I can see sports photographers looking for a camera with a little extra reach and very high FPS. an APS-C sized sensor on a 1D series product would appeal to other types as well such as wildlife or bird photographers that don’t want to carry around extremely heavy glass.

Completely agree. The odd-ball product isn’t the APS-C sized 1Di, but the APS-H sized 1D. Discontinuing it would result in little or no pain for users, as they all have FF glass already. They could feely choose between the APS-C 1Di or the FF 5D Mk 2, with their lens stable carrying over.

When 5D is removed, the Rebels XT and XTi’s are also removed.

check out the screen capture for proof. The 5D, XT, and XTi are removed from Canon’s website. Then a few minutes later, there back up, and then down again. something is happening over there.

I hope it’s not 20+fps, that’s movie making and we all know it. I question how much skill a 10+fps camera takes out of sports photography, but almost assuredly a 20fps would pull twice the skill in capturing ‘the moment’ out.
On film shooting high fps was limited dramatically by how much film you had, most people being limited to 36 exposure meant that you weren’t just going to make a movie. When your camera has a 16gb card, you can shoot bursts for hours.
I am not ‘anti-progress’ nor am I anti-technology. I just hate spec myopia because often times it prevents new innovation. Just look at processors. The efficiency level of processors didn’t change much from the Pentium II through the Pentium 4 – a span of almost a decade – but once a functional limit was hit they have created many cool new technologies like multi-core and other designs that improve the performance much more without paying any heat/power penalty. We have seen this in point and shoots… it’s all about the megapixels baby! Let’s hope that they keep the FPS somewhere around 10 – 12/14 wouldn’t be too bad – and work on some other new ground breaking feature that could really make the upgrade from 10fps compelling.
