It’s already October 20th in Australia and there is no word yet. They really know how to keep a secret

A marketing perspective…

50 years is pretty big deal.
From a marketing stand point I would not expect Canon to pass up this opportunity to realease some pretty significant gear.
The Canon people have been sworn to secrecy…but even then there has been some low level mumbling of a new camera and a few new high-end lenses.
Don’t be surprised by a new video camera either.
This party is designed to really knock some shoes off…..

The lack of any good leaks on the new camera at this point in time has me thinking that the Oct 20 event will not be so eventful, at least not in the way of a new camera introduction.

My guess is that this same camera was about to be announced on September 29th (remember that spectacular product in the big red box that never materialized). It was pushed back to see what Nikon had in the D3s and take the wind out of their sails with a killer 1D mark IV.

totally useleess and ridiculus.

no other company use this format ! in Nikon all sport shooter are happy with their full frame.

there is no lens designed for this crop factor ! on my full frame my 16-35 and 24-70 are really good focal range. but my 24-70 is not very helpfull on my 1D2 i’m always not enough wide !

personnally i would prefer a full frame of 15mp or 18mp and just crop in post after !

The 7D has the lowest read noise of ANY crop sensor amera yet made.

Including the D300/D300s.

Thus its fair to say that they can achieve the same with 1.3 crop.

15Mp or so 1d4 will likely have noise performance on a par with the 12Mp D3s, but with higher framerates, better video implimentation and likely a lower pricepoint.

well, with canon, marketing dept plays a very huge role in product specs. either they could’ve stayed with same sensor and improved the ISO or increase MPs and compromise high ISO quality. they chose the second option for better product segmentation and to avoid 5d MKII users getting furious about a crop camera having better specs and better low ISO.

After all, canon decided that 7d must not have more than 3 AEB and af point linked spot meterering, as they are supposed to be PRO features and should be only in 1d series

corporate security? may be true for end users but both company would have insiders giving them the specs and upcoming products.

I’d love to see a 50 1.2II L. I’d be first in line to buy it.

The 20th is very close…at this point I’d start to expect some leaks regarding any new camera release on that date.

Now some rumors have pointed to a new camera announcement on the 20th but not actually making the product available until early next year. In essence, this would be Canon moving up the announcement, presumably to take some thunder away from Nikon’s new D3s release.
