EOS Bodies / Re: Canon Mirrorless [CR1]

Maybe the soon-to-be-announced 600D is going to be Canon's first mirrorless camera... 

As the 60D moved down to the Rebel-level, the 600D may move down to the EVIL level.

No, wait, the 1100D will be the EVIL cam...

My guess is it will be a very very minor upgrade. Same sensor probably. Articulating screen. New button layout. And apparently the new name plate, which Canon seems very proud of.

What new name plate? 550D's looks like the 7 and 60D's. So there's not much new about it.

I'm really curious about what Canon will put into the 600D. however, it will be a minor upgrade I guess.

Although I don't see the necessity, I guess it will be the 600D. Let's see.

Hum... low light situation? I can see a bright sky behind the few clouds. May be this is a low light condition for a 1/2.3" sensor...
Me neither believes in a deeper meaning. They just thought: "oh, look at these beautiful storks!"

But let's see what's happening.

Buy the 60d, it will be better than the t3i .

In terms of what? Image quality? I don't think so... 7D/60D/550D/600D (will) all be on an equal level concerning image quality.

I understand that this is more of a studio camera than a sport camera but i hoped canon would only increase the megapixels to 24 and put better noise reduction and continuous shooting at 6/7 frames per second. Does anyone know the pricing for this camera?

Why implement noise-reduction, when they could reduce noise-genesis using larger pixels? Along the way, DR would increase too.

Not sure why people feel the need for so many auto-focus points.

For a working tracking AF. With my 400D's 9-point-AF, real tracking is not possible.

Than the Steven Spielbergs came with extra wishes for video. Higher FPS, better AF etc.
[...]
Nice for our friends, the Spielbergs, but for my part, Canon could better spend that research on higher DR and low noise performance.

No Spielberg will use AF when filming.
But: Spielberg would be glad about higher DR and better low light performance.

T3i/600D

- Redesign of the model nameplate as well.

Hm... they just created a consistent design of the nameplate (7D, 60D, 550D) why should they change it that soon?

Heck, even the new power focus mode on the new tele lenses are there for video and made these lenses partly more expensive.

What is power focus? Are you shure only video benefits from that?

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon Launches New XA10 Professional Camcorder

« on: January 05, 2011, 03:30:06 PM »

How a 30.4 mm could be a wide angle ? Is it a medium format sensor ? no it's a 1/3'' ... 30.4 is a long lens on such a small sensor ... maybe it's a 3.4 mm and a typo ??

In fact, 30.4mm (35mm equiv) are wideangle concerning most consumer camcorders, Most of them start with focal length longer than 36mm...

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

As far as I now they did so for the 1000D.

The 600D specs sound reasonable to me... I for one expected Canon to go back to a 1,5yr cycle for the xxxD series. But IF a 600D is released this spring, it will probably be only a very slightly upgraded 550D as reported in this rumor.

The thing I'm not believing is the 12MP sensor of the 1100D although I would appreciate it. However, I don't believe in a 1100D at all .

But we'll see... "Time will tell. Sooner or later, time will tell."

EOS Bodies / Re: To buy a 500D now or wait for the 550D to drop in price. Advice please.

« on: December 29, 2010, 08:04:17 PM »

If you want to do some ambitious video once in a while, get the 550D / wait until the price drops.

When no video is needed, get the 500D.
