may eventually be replaced, but that will only happen when something actually with better marketing comes along.


There, unfortunately —fixed.

It's like the electric car, it's been almost here for 40 years.

I just had a 24*36 inch print of this image made. It looks amazing considering it's around f16 with a 10 stop filter.

My 2c.

The right hand side of the triangle represents mirrorless. The EOS-M is totally within this section as it is totally mirrorless. The 650D is half on the mirrorless section as it has composite auto-focus for video and liveview mode.

"What goes here?" - a new camera.
"What does this little arrow mean?" - the new camera will be either fully mirrorless or at least have composite phase/contrast auto-focus like the 650D does.

As opposed to partially mirrorless?   ;)

+1 I had the same thought.

Past:

EF-m
EOS 5
EOS 50D
Sinar 4x5 with lens and polaroid back

ef 15/2.8
ef 24/2.8 (Talk about Sh1t)
ef 50/1.4
ef 85/1.8
ef 100/2
ef 200/2.8L
ef 35-80 4/5.6 (kit with ef-m)

Present:

5D3-----My First full frame camera.

8-15 f4 Fisheye-----Got to have a fisheye, great fun.
24/1.4LII-----This has the unique wide angle look and shallow DOF
35/1.4L-----I used as a "normal" on a crop camera (what a mistake).  Now it's my awesome wide angle lens.
50/1.2L-----I "uped" one from the 50/1.4.  The 50L much better bokeh and better build over the 1.4 version.
100/2.8 macro (Got this before the L version existed)-----It's a macro, need I say more?
200/2L-----Bokeh.  I don't bird or shoot sports (200 too short for 90% of birding), this is the ultimate lens for people, landscape, and of course bokeh.


Future: (maybe)

14/2.8II
20/1.8L
14-24/2.8L
85/1.2II

CANON IS BECOMING A JOKE! when it comes to new releases..!

Nothing new! Remember the bad Coatings of 5d hotmirrors? 5d loosing mirror? Or the 1dIII AF-Issue? 40D motor failures?

5D3 light leak.

Bring on the 14-24, and it's more money than the 14 prime I'll get the prime. ;D  I may as well buy the prime now, as we all know the 14-24 will be $2500+

With the masses using iPhones and the like, to whom is Canon marketing these cameras?  Most people only need Facebook resolution, so the de facto standard smart phone is a better choice for the application.

I was just in NYC and I noticed that the tourists were either using a phone as a camera or a DSLR, very few point and shoot cameras out in the real world.

Yes, if the 14-24 was f2.8 then that might attract a few more people to it.  In UWAs a little zoom goes a long ways, 14mm to 24mm is huge, but at a cost of a few stops.  I'd opt in for the 20/1.8 if it was on par with the amazing 24/1.4 Mrk 2.

Thanks for the post, I'll keep an eye out to see if any of the images he took show in the media.

Trouble is, now that you have tasted the best, it's hard to work with the rest...

PW

The OP can still buy the 200/2 to beat the 24/1.4  :P
