EOS Bodies / @NL: Canon Pro Solution Show in October: Did CRguy's FB post relate to this?

« on: August 22, 2011, 05:38:02 PM »

CR guy posted on FB: You're all going to be happy in October...

Well, let's see what happens in London then 

http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_rumours.html

"Last year’s show attracted over 2800 professionals. Now in its third year, Canon Pro Solutions 2011 has been designed to be the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of Canon’s Imaging products and the show will focus on professional users."

Or is this event linked with something that is yet to be announced?

Cheers, Pedro

EOS Bodies / Possible D-SLR October release during Photo Plus Expo in NYC?

« on: August 20, 2011, 04:03:24 AM »

That's a guess taken by NL
If you look at
http://www.photoplusexpo.com/

it says among others:
"And this year PDN and WPPI are joining forces in New York City to roll out WPPI NYC, an entire expo dedicated to wedding and portrait photography, making PhotoPlus Expo even better."

So my humble conclusion goes like this:
weddding: 5Diii
portrait/studio: 1 Ds IV

Time will tell. Enjoy the weekend. Sunny skies over here in Switzerland so far...

As there haven't emerged any "essential" rumors or leaks for quite a while...;-)
There is joy in the waiting !

EOS Bodies / 1 Ds IV by the end of the year? New rumor at NL

« on: August 13, 2011, 03:27:44 AM »

FYI: As being posted yesterday at NL
"12th Unfortunately, there still doesn't seem to be any reliable specs doing the rounds... Although one of our 'older' sources tells me (thanks) that a 1D/1Ds merger isn't happening yet and I'll have the replacement for my 1Ds3 by the end of the year.
I've not had any reliable 1D/1Ds merger info for at least three years, when it was suggested as an option that Canon might consider 'one day', but that the differences between the two target markets were just too great. "

If it materializes, a Q1 2012 5Diii might as well...

EOS Bodies / 1 Ds IV and 5Diii additional rumor info at NL

« on: August 06, 2011, 11:31:47 AM »

6th A recent email suggests that the 1Ds4 will be 37MP and that the 5D3 will be 28MP and announced at the same time.
Currently, this is the only mention of a dual release I've come across and I'm minded to associate it with the "I want my 5D3 NOW" crowd ;-)
Any more solid info is welcome...
Probably related to current Nikon talk of both the D3s and D700 being updated on the 24th

EOS Bodies / 3D and 5D3 rumors at Northlight images say: No 5D3 until next summer?

EOS Bodies / Would a multi-MP-Sensor be technically feasable or is it purest Sci-Fi?

« on: April 19, 2011, 06:38:56 PM »

As a non-anglo it's difficult to explain my idea. Hope I kinda match the terms.
Moreover, I've got absolutely no technical knowledge in that field.

There was a discussion somewhere on multi-crop bodies: one could chose 1.3, 1.6. or FF according to job needs.
Taking this a step further from the view point of the sensor I come up with the idea, if there is a possibility to build a multi-MP-sensor. Or let's say: Is it possible to activate individual sensor areas using pixel clusters? e.g. if one needs extreme low light abilities for noise free high ISO pictures he'd choose the 12 MP mode on a 28 MP sensor which would deliever more pixel pitch and more surface for photons (did I get that right?) , or 18 or whatever. So a sensor could be adjusted to certain photographic tasks...Hope my thoughts will get across...Regards from Switzerland. Pedro

EOS Bodies / Canon EOS 6D / 5D Mark III

« on: February 25, 2011, 11:46:52 AM »

as read over at tech radar
also nikon D800 information available
http://www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/canon-eos-6d-5d-mark-iii-rumours-what-you-need-to-know-931100

what do you think about it?
as they among others go:

2011 Canon EOS 6D / Canon EOS 5D Mark III release date probability: 75% - in fact, we expect a Canon EOS 5D Mark III release by early 2011.

EOS Bodies / New rumors on 1Ds upgrades and 5D III over at NL

« on: February 14, 2011, 02:25:46 PM »

Hi, maybe you've read that already.
Just in case ... drop you the line. Regards. Pedro.
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_5d3.html

14th Some time ago we were told about a number of 32MP 1Ds4 prototypes undergoing testing, but were pulled as not being a big enough technological jump - it was felt that the 1Ds4 had to be pretty special to make a noticeable jump from the 1Ds3 (yes, I'd agree there from my 1Ds3 use). This 32MB sensor (or a derivative) is a candidate for the 5D3. If a 40+MP 1Ds4 appears, then I'll not be surprised to see the 5D3 not too long after at 32MP.
Note that we're getting an awful lot of 'bits' of info at the moment - it just isn't clear which (if any!) have a good take on what's going on.

11th "The 5D2 is still selling too well" was the only comment I got from a European source when I mentioned that a lot of people were waiting for it's replacement. None of our usual sources have said anything about the 5D3 as anything but 'later this year'. Favourite is a 1Ds3 replacement for 'Q2' or even March.

EOS Bodies / now, that the rebel is out...mi hypothesis for a next lap. what ya think?

« on: February 04, 2011, 09:42:36 AM »

Hi everyone,
Checking the upgrade cycles over at NL I came to this conclusion:
 1 Ds Mk II: Q2 2004, 1 Ds MK III: Q2 2007, 1 Ds MkIV or whatever: Q3 2011

5D Mk II: Q2 2008, 5D MkIII: Q1 2012

7DMk II: Q3 2012

anyone?

EOS Bodies / EOS 3Dor 5DIII rumor update at Northern Light Images?

« on: August 11, 2010, 12:47:23 PM »

As one can read over at Northern Light Images: "We're told that a 3D is on its way early next year. No mention of MP, but 'low light' was a key feature. This is meant to be 'Pro level'. Details in the comments lead me to think that this is not the same as mentioned at CR - however I've been getting mails like this since 2005, and most reliable ones have been precursors of what was the 5D and 5D mk2"
What do you think? Is it something in relation to a 5DIII or the Hybrid mentioned over here?

EOS Bodies / Will the 5DIII entry price be higher than 5DII's?

« on: July 23, 2010, 03:10:29 PM »

I read someone guessing over at dpr about a considerable higher entry price of a 5DIII. I know it its pure fiction, but what could be the reason for if so? Technically enhanced body?
