EOS Bodies / Re: What ISO improvement is likely to be expected in an upcoming 5D3?

« on: November 22, 2011, 07:00:45 AM »

I fully expect the 5D3 to make 12800 a working ISO, if not 25600...

Thanks for posting your opinon. Quite revealing to me. And yes picsfor, hope it'll have a working ISO of 25600 and as some other poster mentioned: Hope Canon will follow their track laid by the 1Dx and keep the MP's at 24-28 or better 24 including sensor improvements trickled down from the 1Dx technique. If the 1Dx is a league of its own, why not add an 1Dsish body to it...? So a 5D3 could remain within a decent MP count. Even though the asian notion is not to fall behind competition (related to a rumored D800 36 MP monster), hope they keep to the formula presented with the 1Dx...the slow down the MP race a bit. But that's my two cents.

EOS Bodies / What ISO improvement is likely to be expected in an upcoming 5D3?

« on: November 21, 2011, 03:34:30 PM »

Sorry, don't want you to get bored. Just a question. In a post here I read this:
5D2 is about 2 stops better in High Iso than 60D, and about 1 stop compared to a 7D

So, shooting a 30D I will wait out the new body. What are your expectations? Will 25600 by its native ISO? Will it go up till 204k or what do you think?

Cheers, Pedro

You must be the only person that thinks the low light performance of the 7D is close to that of the 5DII. It is good - but about 1 stop slower. My 5DII is about the same at 3200 as my 7D is at 1600. AF on the 5DII is way better than the 7D in low light.

shooting a 30D currently, saving up for  the 5D3, I am hoping for much better high ISO's compared to my trusty rusty old gear. I get good results shooting at very low light, while being able to expose to the right, even at ISO 3200.

What is to expected ISO range wise from a 5D3. ISO 51200 or higher? Hope it has ISO 25600 as native ISO.

@gene_can_sing:
Having read several of your posts in the past, there is something about it.
Let us just hope that canon will aim to beat nikon by IQ instead of MP.
given the new sensor technique introduced by the 1Dx and the trend set at lower MP's
lets hope for a 5Diii at 24 MP then.
I'd be very happy if they were following their new outline MP wise...
I am an absolute non tech, but I dare to say,
with the 1Dx in mind they will even get improved IQ
at 24 to 28 MP.
Or is that too much of wishful thinking?

"What about photographers?

I know a good majority of photographers are pretty tired about hearing about video in DSLRs. A lot of the community is looking for a new “photography first” full frame DSLR that doesn’t require remortgaging their homes. I think the 5D Mark III will be that camera. It’ll probably have video features on par with the 1D X, but will be a high resolution, high image quality still photography camera

I’ve said before that I think Canon plans to monetize the videographers and video DSLRs, so something like the “EOS 3C” makes a lot of sense. Â Looking at the prices of the new cinema lenses, it seems videographers have no problem spending more.

So don’t be worried photographers, Canon hasn’t forgotten about you and I’m sure will deliver the product we all know you want."

Well, that is just what I wanted to hear after all that video whirlwind from Hollywood.
Looking forward to it. Don't care if the 5Diii won't materialize in 2012.
I rather have a happy 2013 with an upgraded still photography body

EOS Bodies / Re: *UPDATE 2* ...So, where do we go from here?

« on: November 05, 2011, 08:18:27 AM »

I am not in too much tech, so this might seem quite off topic

Is the Red Dot DSLR the 5Dii replacement
or is it to be seen as another higher level body?

In case of, is there another, even lesser body to be expected then?

Or will the new DSLR in development leave just a huge gap between 7D and the lowest priced FF body?

Thanks. I was about to go FF with a next 5D upgrade. I almost guess, it was not to be...Shall I go for a 5Dii instead, while the price tag is low, as my main focus is on still photography and the 1Dx definetly isn't my league moneywise ?

Thanks for any good advice

« on: November 04, 2011, 02:49:37 PM »

Here's a comment from dpr

"It will be less than the flagship 1DX. The 4k video only works with 24p. If we want 60p or 120p would cost over $10k.
It will take the place of the APS-H 1D series price range maybe a bit cheaper because Canon knows the success relies on competitive pricing. Too high a price people lose interest or choose something else from RED or Sony.

The 5D series will split. We may see another FF camera with inferior video at around $2k."

Please forgive my technical ignorance.
As a non-anglo I just like to ask:
Where do we go from here towards a 5Dish FF DSLR that is mainly designed to do stills?
Or is there another FF Body to be announced sometime next year...A 6?

With much lesser video than this beast here
at around the same MP's like the current 5D2
some of the 1Dx specs having trickled down into it
lets say, equal ISO range,
some additional fps
and maybe a 7D focus system?
Price tag: 3 to 3,5 k

Anyone? Thanks!

EOS Bodies / Rumors roundup by Jarred Abrams concerning Nov 3rd

« on: November 01, 2011, 04:04:26 PM »

Jared's recent Blog post from Oct 31 says:

The Uber announcement from Canon on November 3rd, 2011 is just a few days away and I wanted to lay out what I have heard about the cameras so far. Red is also announcing the release of the much anticipated Scarlet. This is all second hand info gathered from various sources and methods including carrier pigeon.

* There will be at least two cameras announced, possibly three.
* PL and EF for sure. I also think a 5D3 will be “announced” but not shown.*
A Set of Canon Prime Lenses will be shown. All manual capability.*** This is Big.
* We already know about two PL zooms shown at NAB 2011.
* Removable LCD.
* No 60P Full HD. Only 720
* 4:2:2 with 4:4:4 Upgrade as an additional upgrade.
* $10K plus for the EF model and up to $15K for the PL version.
* I think the 5D3 will be a little higher than 5D2 at around $3K.*
There will be less expensive models to follow.

Well, I just hope that CR's call isn't spot on this time, at least concerning his 5D3 statement 
Two days from now, folks...we all know.

« on: October 22, 2011, 05:45:27 PM »

well, this would be great indeed. thanks. 25k working iso plus two stops...this yields even a nice grain at 51k plus some NR in PP. Looking forward to it  There is joy in the waiting. Cheers, Pedro

Keeping it to a 5D3 will keep the brand name intact, and delivering around 30mp with a working 25k working ISO, improved AF (say 9 full cross hairs) - and probably dual CF slots to over come the video regs in Europe for around the £2200 would bring along another huge raft of upgrade and fresh sales.

@picsfor: good price tag. About 3100 swiss francs then... What do you mean with "working 25k working ISO"?
What is the so called native ISO by then? 6400 or 12.800? Sorry, I haven't got a 5D so I cannot relate to own experience, saving up for a 5Diii even though I am aimed at super fine high ISO photography...the 1Dx is just quite beyond my money wallet size...but I do hope it will deliever some usable 51k for very low light b/w Robert - Frank - type photography

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon 5D3 Information & Poll (your thoughts)

« on: October 18, 2011, 06:43:35 PM »

I would have a look at this one...
as the predicted 1D merging has materialized...
http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/05/5d-mark-iii-more/
it says:
5D Mark III & More
May 2, 2011 Canon 5D Mark III Comments Off 1981
In the wild?
There’s word that Canon is sending out test bodies of the next 5D to various key photographers. Obviously they’ll be under a veil of secrecy. Once this happens, we tend to start getting better information.

There’s a thought the next 5D will not push megapixels, but will in fact push image quality and noise reduction. There will be a lot more sharpness and detail at higher ISO. The 26-28 megapixel range is becoming the resolution I keep getting told.

There is apparently a couple of different prototypes in existence.

What’s for certain is it will have a 19 point AF, no word on how many crosstype sensors.

1Ds Mark IV /  1D Mark V
The same person alluded to the merging of the 1D line being sooner than expected. There would need to be some new tech in a  merged 1D to keep the 10fps of the 1D and the resolution of the 1Ds. It should be interesting.
