What about GPS? Do you think it would be integrated?

A 920 LCD would by itself be a tempting reason to upgrade to a 500 from the 450. Bring it. Also, bring a 2.8 IS lens for the same range of 70-200 in the FF series. The crop cams have nothing there to choose from !!

No mention of geotagging? this is a killer feature as far as I’m concerned.

Don’t you know how to control aperture on your camera? Narrow apertures gives more DOF dummy! Plus 5dm2 has big iso range to play with. AF would be nice though.

No AF in Movie mode is a bit of a drawback…

I am sorry but the 50d is crap crap crap and a rip off. Reviews say high iso modes are unusable with way too much noise. Unlike 5dmark2 15mp on a crop sensor = poor iq. For greater than 15mp and low noise must go full frame! Hope 500d improves on the 12mp sensor iq not increase to 15mp.

Actually 5d can’t track a subject either now that I’ve read the specs. It has to be done manually..hmmm

No AF in Movie mode is a bit of a drawback and would result in alot of blurry home vidoes. It could really only be used on a tripod to shoot an object that doesn’t move around alot. I think that puts a huge limitation on its usefullness.

i’m dreaming of the successor to the 450D that can do video. the 5D m2 shows it’s possible, the 500D will make it affordable.

1080p with all my canon glass to play with? heaven.

i wish canon use that extra video/live view sensor wisely, having a dual sensor camera is better than having video mode or live view.

wouldn’t be surprised if canon limited the frame rate to 3fps as to keep the 5d2 from being their slowest dslr.

seing as the SX1 will be able to film 1080p I wouldn’t be surprised if the 500 also will be able to do it (having the option of 720p would be great though).

I’m not sure, but I’m very dissatisfied with Canon’s move with the 50D. That many megapixels would be cool, but I want high ISO performance a lot more. I’d also like a new AF system, though the current one is tried and tested so at least we know it’s reliable.

I’m not sure if I see the rebel being able to do 3200 ISO however… In my opinion, the only major limitations on the rebel in the past have been high ISO ability and frames per second. I mean, I’ve seen spectacular portraits from both rebel’s and xxD’s… and you would be pressed to tell the difference. I don’t think canon will do 3200 ISO in a rebel body because it would compete against their own xxD line, especially since many photographers consider 6400 and 12800 unusable in the 50D.

I don’t see canon making the 60D less than 15MP, but I wouldn’t mind if it was. I think about 12MP is more than I need, but its good to have a little extra just in case. I’m perfectly happy with 8MP truthfully, but I know they won’t go backwards that far.

I would love to see some mid-range camera even more action oriented, say… 8 fps, more-than-9-point AF with tracking, and maybe a more powerful internal motor just for non-USM lens emergency situations, and usable at 6400. That’s definitely not happening though…
