Thanks. I had that in mind, while posting. There's quite a bunch of lenses or patents with IS. Let's see what happens someone here on the forum will attend at Rodendal. Looking forward to his update us after.

2nd. That it will be 200grams more heavy. I do not see any reason for that either. I wonder what would add the extra weight?

@Polansky: A faint guess only: How much would in-camera IS differ in total weight? Would that count for pro's? Or could it refer to an additional video unit and stuff? I have no idea about tech and its probable influence on weight. Anyone? Cheers, Pedro

Are the announced double rebates
http://thenewcamera.com/?p=2707
related to the October 18 event, as they start from October 24 ?
Or is that a regular marketing strategy around this time?

Note that the 1DsIII isn't included anymore...

According to the above mentioned October 18 event
also see the thread I started yesterday (GMT)

http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=1844.msg31950;topicseen#new

Looking forward to hear more soon, CRguy!

A few questions:
Is the new 1Ds cooking? As the event aims at the top gear league.
In which country are product announcements of top segment bodies normally taking place?

NL always claimed, that there'd be an 1D announcement prior to anything else...;-)

EOS Bodies / CPS Event on October 18 in The Netherlands

« on: October 08, 2011, 11:25:07 AM »

No rumor. Aimed at pro's. So...NL always claimed, that there would an 1D release prior to anything else.
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_rumours.html
Here's canon Netherlands professional user section. As far as I understand it, this page explains the requirements to get admission to this section of Canon users.
http://www.canon.nl/professionaluser/
So related to upcoming events in NYC and London there might be something cooking...
Some pro's could  be glad about something additional to colorful foilage this fall ;-)
Cheers, Pedro

@neuroanatomist: thanks. ISO 1600 on a 30D is quite fine, well exposed in RAW. ISO 3200 is my "either-you-do-it-this-way-or-forget-it" option. DxO pro: heard about it. Planning on purchasing some PP software along with the new body, what serves best for my type of photography? LR or Dx0 pro? Thanks in advance. Pedro

Thanks for your update on tech, kubelik. Especially for your differentiation of noise free and clean, which appearantly isn't the same. So I hope for clean ISO 3200 on my future cam and some very usable ISO 6400 to follow your line. As my low-light photography often aims at robert frank type b/w, it will suit me fine. Pedro

+1 on this - my customers never ask for video, and to be honest, I'm not interested in offering it. I would, however, love love love love to be able to shoot totally noise free at 6400.

@rowanlamb:
ISO 6400 noise free: That means at least 3 stops better high ISO's than my trusty "rusty" 30D. I took some candids during a wedding reception this past weekend (mostly candle light and some artificial light) at ISO 1600 to 3200. Applied some Chroma noise reduction in PP (DPP Chroma NR: @+13) and I am quite happy with the outcome. I was not the main photographer...;-) So ISO 6400 would be my dream ISO for low light shooting well exposed to the right. I'd pay USD 3500 for a 5Diii being able to do that.
Question:
How likely is noisefree ISO 6400 on a next 5D body? I do not know too much about physics and camera tech anyway. So, your suggestions are very welcome. Cheers, Pedro.

EOS Bodies / Re: Opinion - What EOS Will Look Like by Photokina

« on: September 24, 2011, 01:13:55 PM »

I am hoping for a 5DIII.
I am wishing for a FF of 24MP, ISO 6400 clean like ISO 1600 (on 5DII), Same center point AF but better side points AF. Same Battery, 100% viewfinder with a good magnification, improvement on weather sealing (rubber gasket instead of foam), same ergonomics, same IQ (this is the hard part), 5FPS, Full HD 24, 30 and 60 FPS with a better rendering. This would be perfect for me and I would pay 3500-4000$ for such a camera.

@Sebmour: I do not understand a lot of tech. So given your inmense knowledge you get very easily to an actual calculation for a 5Diii according to that. My only question is: If that was real, wouldn't it come to a real gap in pricing between a next lower 7D? Your draft leaves room for a 6D in the US $ 2000-2500 segment then. If such a body was aimed towards lesser MP and equal ISO performance, lesser video facilities (which never will use, once going back FF after 30 years) I'll buy that day one.  Cheers, Pedro

EOS Bodies / Re: A New Entry Level Full Frame Camera? [CR1]

« on: September 17, 2011, 10:00:17 AM »

good point, Dave
7D FF would be great too.
equipped with the 5Dii's 21 MP sensor
clean ISO 6400
ISO 50-25600
Digic V ?
same AF

@EagleEye:
I am planning to go FF after 30 years again ;-) Former Contax 139 Quartz shooter back in 1982...
You are right with your comment. I thought about the 18MP sensor of the 7D extended to FF. but if that's impossible...ok. The 21 MP then ;-)
What I would like to have for my low light photography is a 5Dii (6D) with less pixel count and Digic V.
And yes, you are also right with your video based response.
Guess I could go on without a fetaure like taht, but entry levels surely would implement it...

Another possibility: A 5Dii N. Likely? and forget the entry level...

The 5DMKII has enough pixelcount, but for all else it is actually nothing more than an entry DSLR.
Feature wise the 5D MKII is a very 'old' camera in today's camera landscape except for its pixelcount as said.
Meaby after the 5D MKIII is released there is room for a small pixelcount full frame camera (which would then be the old 5D rebranded as 6D?) Although even that is not very likely to happen.....

or see my wishlist specs above
equip it with a full frame 7D sensor (18 MP)
and Digic V
better AF than 5Dii, but lesser than 7D

and voilà, here's your 6D 
would be mine at least

@EagleEye: while I was editing my post, you just hit the same nail!!!congrats!
