Articulating screen should be on T1i successor. Hopefully. I don’t care about movie mode, give me an articulated screen!!!!!

I was in to Best Buy today and looked at the nikon D5000. That articulating screen is very handy for low or high shots. I can’t get down on my knees for a low shot, and being able to hold the camera high and see the composition is also useful.
I hope it comes to Canon DSLR’s soon, it blows away the anglefinder.

The articulated screen is 10 times more useful than higher resolution screens or ‘bigger’ screens. If one is 6′ tall, then most of your pictures with a DSLR are from a vantage point 5′6″ off the ground. This is especially true of old, beat-up folks like myself who can’t crouch or lay down. With the articulated screen, you cal lay the camera near the ground and take either vertical or horizontal shots. You can reach over your head, up to 7 or 8 feet or higher with a monopod. I’ve got some “Point & Pray” shots I take with my 10-22mm at about the 12′ level held on the end of the monopod. Haven’t dropped it yet.

12mpx + Digic IV = good ISO-performance

Nah, I think the fps is ok for a beginner-camera.
Low price is more important than fps :P

That’s true, as in it doesn’t affect RAW ISO performance at all. However, it does affect jpegs, for what it’s worth.

honestly why would this little cam have a 1080p mode with a usable frame rate when it’s big bro, the T1i, only does 1080p at 20 fps (a wholly ridiculous spec)?

Malte Reply:

Becouse it is newer. The 550D next April will have 1080p with 24/25/30/50/60fps. Then some people say why it has better video-mode than 5D MarkII and stuff…
New technology is coming and going…

me 2 feels that this rumor will NOT turn out to be true, but i see it’s given a CR2, so hopefully Mr or Miss canonrumors knows better than me an you.. strange thing is when the new blog of this site was started (Jan 2008) every rumour had its CR rating in the title, nowadays however Mrs Canon R leaves us lost in most cases, this rumors is treated specially like the good old days.

Of course they haven’t, they won’t say anything until launch.
That said, a patent doesn’t prove they’re going to do it either.

No, it doesn’t prove it. But Nikon doesn’t patent things to deny it to others; theirs are //generally// pretty tightly tied to product releases. I’d call it likely, but not certain.

I hope something like this does eventually appear in a Nikon, it might put a rocket up Canon (with the hopefully incorrect assumption that they’re not also researching their own version of the technology).

You are correct, of course, albeit beside the point. The Rebel name is not used outside North America. It would strike me as strange if it was head office rather than Canon NA that decided on the Rebel name.
The Japanese have their own ridiculous name for the same series of cameras (Kiss), while the rest of the world gets a naming system that isn’t completely meaningless. Incremental numbers have a clear progression, whereas a semi-random assortment of letters attached to each new model is anything but clear.

They could call it the MonkeyButt 1000 for all I care as long as it performs for the right $$$. Europeans have been and always will be more concerned with style over substance.

That’s a bit of a generalisation isn’t it?
That’s very much like me claiming that “Rebel” is representative of, and panders to, the paranoid psyche of the American people…

I don’t think so. If we are talking about a Rebel T1/1500D, it has to be priced lower than the T1i.

September 24th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
The 1000D is the Rebel XS
The T1i is 500D
Since the 1000D/XS is already cheaper than the 500D/T1i, the new 1500D/T1 will definitely be cheaper than the 500D/T1i….Have I confused you more?
Reply
September 24th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
does that mean that the T1i should be receiving 30fps in 1080? Because that’d suck if the cheaper one had it and the more expensive on didn’t!

As far as I remember, Canon said that the 500D isn’t able to shoot FullHD @ 30fps because of hardware limitations (which I personally believe is not true).
So lets see what the 1500D will be able to – with the same digic.

Malte Reply:

Actually it´s true. There are to less lines between sensor unit and processor. It isn´t a Digic problem.

yes it sucks just like it sucks that the 7 has better af than the 5 and better video also but if you always play the game of waiting then you will never own a camera…

Ya, but if you already have “a” camera and you dont “need” a specific feature it is a bit of a trick trying to decide when is the best point to upgrade.

Most important thing IMO is to avoid paying the ‘tax’ of early adopters, unless you are a pro or a millionaire. This is also good to have concrete info about the product.
Reply
September 24th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Video apparently sells cameras, but only a few dedicated souls actually use it effectively. The lack of usable autofocus really limits its spontaneous use to still scenes.
I do expect significantly better autofocus with Digic V, whenever it arrives, but still not the speed of a camcorder.

60D please !
7D is to expansive and 500D has no mic-in ! So a cheaper 60D with 98% viewfinder, mic-in and HD movie mode would be correct.

If it was just in the camera arena then mirrorless micro 4/3rd would be my guess.
But with bigger sensors needed for quality – not smaller ones this would only be for entry level cameras.

I’d love a Canon equivalent of the Panasonic G1/GH1 that can take EF and EFS lenses.
With no mirror, and a viewfinder as good as the G1, Canon would make a fortune out of me…with me buying the camera and some ‘L’ series lenses.
Of course what would make it a perfect camera would be to have phase detect rather than contrast AF, because somehow I don’t think any Canon lenses would do contrast detect AF very fast.

The camera will have a sensor shift stabilization but Mr-CanonRumors has removed that part of the rumor. He has some expensive IS lenses and doesn’t like the idea of everybody having all their lenses stabilized. This guy is evil, we ought to change him by a coup d’état or coup de site.

Lol.
Most of these lenses have short focal lengths, and thus less in need of IS (despite the general idea that every lens should have IS, or it’s ‘wrong’), the other lenses are older, or special (TS-E with IS? That’d be weird).
Calling the 50 f/1.8 expensive is also a bit odd…

‘only’ 12MP? I think that if the megapixel war is fought somewhere, it’s at in cheapsumer department. They don’t really care about ISO until it’s too late, but want a camera that just has nice specs.
My guess :
15 MP, Digic4 and 1080p20 or Digic5 and 1080p30. (depends on whether they can pump out enough Digic5 chips for the masses). Oh, and add a swivel screen, fancy things FTW :(

Canon will settle on a digic 4.5 and 1080@25fps as a compromise. the camera will sell like cheap biscuits.

I thought this was all about Christmas 2009, myself. Time is indeed running out, Crosstalk. I’ll hold my vigil until November 7, or so, then call it off. The only thing that keeps me hanging in there with a daily Google for ‘Canon T1 1500D’ is the fact that the Olympus E-600 (a slightly de-featured E-620 for the Christmas shopper) isn’t on the street yet either.

I’ve now received Christmas catalogues from a couple of photographic retailers in the UK. EOS1000D featuring in both. If the 1500D was going to be released in time for Christmas 09 I would thought they would have held off to the launch date.
Also, the Autumn UK cashback offer is only on the 450D and 500D – so no trying to shift remaining stocks of 1000D there.
Probably getting too late now for Christmas, I guess the next opportunity will be CES. Still googling daily though :-)
