Where would the new sensor come from? Canon would not make one just for this 1100 camera.

Is this part of a wider product shift strategy?
With the 7D previously being said to be the new 60D.
Is the 1100D the new 600D ?

Are we still thinking Canon will go medium format, maybe the 1Ds Mk III replacement will be MF?
with the 1D Mk IV staying APS-H, that would create a non level playing feild for Nikon.
If this happened then only the 5dMk2 would be using the full image circle of the EF lenses!
I've seen little excitement about the 60D so the 7D needs to step upto the mark of other APS-c camera's
It also still seems like a EOS6D with a APS-H (or anything else between FF & APS-C, maybe APS-J?) sensor would be an interesting exercise to seperate SLR's from top end APS-c compacts and give us a reason to focus on improving our EF L glass collection.
Canon have alreadt proved they can do really great sensors with the 1D Mk IV.

With the Bells and whistles being differentatiors, the market is open for a module based approach where you buy a base level body then add modules in hardware or software as you need them.
Sensors are the main differentatiors and exceed the limits of much of the glass used. So expect better dynamic range, ISO performance, global shutter, etc to keep driving sensor performance.

Its a CR1!
a 600D before a 7dMk2 - only if they reuse the 18M sensor a 4th time. if so maybe they want to add the 60 flip screen and movie mode AF to deal with panasonic.
Or If the 600D has say a 22MP sensor with good iSo then i'd be interested (in the iSo) but the only reason i'd expected this to be before the 7d is that a digic 5 processor was unavailable in the near time frame.
Maybe they want to catch up on the ISO front and go down to 16Mpixels for smaller files too - but they have not done thi before.
Anyway its CR1 speculation.

The rest of the electronics industry is releasing new processors, and ideas like fulltime AF, global shutter, in camera processing/ filtering/ HDR etc are all going to need more processing power to its bound to come - but March only canon knows?
Also Camera's will in time need Wifi/3g to upload photo's direct to social networking sites and the like.

Looking forward to the awards post :-) I need some thing to cheer me up after canon's slowdown in the APS-c market and the ISO of the pentax k5 or the speed of the sony alpha55. I know the 60D does ISO128000 and that its way better than my 400D and that it may come down to a price where it does not matter so much. But sigh, i wanted to be blown away by my SLR !

Lenses / Re: EF 70-300 f/4-5.6L IS Preorders
« on: November 05, 2010, 05:27:33 AM »
With my (much cheaper) 70-300 f/4-5.6 lens setting the aperture to f4/ then zooming the lens to 300mm, causes the camera to go to f5.6, but zooming back to 70mm does not give f4 again :-(
Maybe this lens addresses this as it seems weird for an L lens to have variable aperture in the first place.

About lenses and sensors.
What I understand from this is that in daily practice shooting at f8, f11, a sensor like the one as in the 5Dm2 starts to out resolve lenses.
So all this improvement is just for better cropping / digital zooming?

EOS Bodies / Re: Price predictions - with current lineup and possible changes
« on: September 21, 2010, 09:22:38 AM »60d - best UK price i can see is approx £700 (around $1090)
7d - best Uk price approx £900 (around $1400)
5dmkII - best price approx £1400 (around $2180)
Wow where do you get such good (including VAT?) deals.
Don't buy what you don't want, a 350 to 550 is a value upgrade untill the 5dmk3 arrives. But also a second hand 500D has video to tide you over till you know if film is your thing, or to know if a 5dmk3 will arrive as an SLR and not a video based product instead :-/

EOS Bodies / Re: 1Ds Mark IV Saga
« on: September 16, 2010, 06:35:27 AM »I want Canon to release 3D body (fullframe 7D body).Why a 3D - and not a 5D mk3
If not, maybe I and other people can switch to Nikon.
There is no affordable FF body for sports and action photography! That's shame!

EOS Bodies / Re: The Radical 1Ds Mark IV [CR1]
« on: September 13, 2010, 09:49:32 AM »Your right if we are talking about Bigger Pixel site areas!A bigger sensor to archieve what? Same resulotion but better S/R and sensitiity or Higher resolution at same level of S/R and sensitivity? What does this tell us: 'we' hit the limits within the 36x24mm sensor size, 'we' cant no longer improve on one aspect without substantially sacrificing other aspects of the sensor?
I'm starting to repeat myself, but SNR is mostly dependent on sensor surface area. So a physically larger sensor would mean better SNR regardless of its resolution.
And if you can't reduce noise significantly (because technology is at its limits) the only thing you can do is enlarging the signal (equals to "more light" equals to "larger sensor").

EOS Bodies / Re: The Radical 1Ds Mark IV [CR1]
« on: September 13, 2010, 09:48:02 AM »My bet is a square 36x36mm sensor. Square full frame .................(while maintaining full EF lens compatibility)the 24-105mm lens has a rectangular rear section, so this lens would not be suitable for a 36x36mm sensor.
If the lens was further from the sensor then a bigger sensor could be used, though the lens might not focus throughout the whole focal range.
Bite the bullet Canon new Lenses for MF, EVIL, M4/3, and existing FF users - as well as silent focusing for all for video mode... How bust will then be.

If it usual for canon to not do so much for so long? How small is their R&D team for SLR's.
