Alright, so how much was that 5D Mark III again?

[kennephoto]

5d mark 2??

[Canon-F1]

180/s flash sync.. and i thought the D600 is bad.   

11 AF points...   

slower then the D600 with even less data to transfer (20 MP vs. 24 MP).

and why would they produce another FF sensors... imo that makes no sense from a business standpoint.

if this is true the camera is a big dissapointment....

i really hope this is bulsh*t....

APS-C sized body?  7d or T4i size?

[tomscott]

Why would it take SD when the 7D takes CF!? Seems a bit of an interesting choice...

Doesn't sound very promising IMO. Weather sealed, but 11 point AF so a new system there too along with a new sensor...

I think this one is a fake.

I expect the 7D/5DMKII homologation. Makes more sense, with the parts bin, and more value for the photographers.

Built-in GPS makes me highly suspicious - not when Canon has a $220 add-on they can sell, they aren't going to build that into a cheaper camera - same with WIFI really.  I think this is highly suspect.    And if we do hear about something at Photokina, and I am leaning toward not, I don't think it will be ready to ship anytime soon.

The disappointment is already starting to set in.    And why would I want to upgrade to this from my 60D?  Hopefully these specs are way off.

[AvTvM]

wow ... these specs would be extremely weak!
crappy 5D II AF one more time. No way, Canon!
This looks more like a FF Rebel ... price tag should not be 2k but sub 1000.

[Gothmoth]

mhm..... bit for bit the D600 seems like the better deal.. not?

first time i hear they will use a new 20MP FF sensor.

not the 7D AF? some kind of rebel AF?

to be honest i think this is 100% pure nonsense.

11 AF Points, f/2.8 Cross-type in the center

Weak.  Very weak.

[simonxu11]

I guess new sensor basically means the hybrid cmos sensor.
the Digicame-info also mentioned this:
シャッター速度は30-1/4000秒、シンクロ1/180秒、シャッターの耐久性は10万回
Minimum to Maximum shutter speed: 30-1/4000 sec
flash sync: 1/180
shutter life: 10,0000

AF is not even on par with 7D, Canon really know how to cripple
Build in wifi and GPS is nice

[dstppy]

I'd be more interested in a firmer date than firm specs at this point, considering we'd know how reliable the spec lists are.

Honestly, I hope they include a pop-up flash like the 7D as well, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

They couldn't (well, wouldn't) make a xD series that's smaller than the 7D.

I'm not going to get too lathered up about any specs either until CR gives it a CR2 or CR3.  I highly doubt SD will happen since the 7D uses CF like the 5D . . . I think an articulating screen (which I like because I can protect the screen AND turn it off by manually flipping it inside) is as likely if SD makes it into the camera.

I'm gonna call this myth busted

[EYEONE]

11 AF Points, f/2.8 Cross-type in the center

Weak.  Very weak.

That was the part that stuck out to me the most. That's the biggest fumble. Make all 11 cross type with dual diag at the center or go home.

[DB]

Weather-sealed, but smaller Rebel-sized body?

Slower SD and not CF memory card? Only 1 memory card slot?

Lower maximum shutter speed of just 1/4000th second

Shutter mechanism lifespan 100,000 cycles (one-third lower than 7D)

Thanks, but no thanks! I'll keep my 7D and wait to upgrade to a 5D
