Any ideas if the lenses will AF on a traditional DSLR?
No they are T/1.5 and T/1.3. T Stops and F Stops are different. I cant remember the exact difference, but I know that T stops let in more light, but T/1.3 is superior to f/1.2 for sure.
With that said, any new Canon camcorder style video camera will be mirrorless and will probably have some type of EOS adaptor since the flange length on mirrorless cameras are really short..
I do still-life work and portraits. I plan to invest in the next generation digitalbacks that go for around 8-9k. I was hoping to see better color profiles and DR in this camera, but for 7k for something that doesn't give me what I need, I am done buying Canon equipment. My 5D 6 years later still does the jobs it needs to do for smaller budget jobs.
Something also tells me that the 'pro cinema' event is going to turn up some kind of movie hybrid of the X, but who knows.
Bye bye Canon, hello Nikon.LOL you are jumping ship at the wrong time, but its ok. Go shoot nikon with and process the files on an AMD computer just to show the world you will not conform
You won't be seeing me here anymore, good luck with new Prosumer 18mp camera kids, and keep an eye on EBay, all my lenses etc will be there soon.
I think this EOS-1D X seems like a great all-around camera, what most people really need. Good for hand-holding and low-light.
A high megapixel camera is a niche camera for low ISO tripod-mounted still life. Professional users that do still life probably rather use medium format anyway.
A small EOS FF camera would still have large lenses though.
To me, weight is more important than size. A Canon 1DsIII weighs 42.5 oz./1,205g, a Sony NEX 7 weighs Approx. 10.3 oz (291g). That's a difference of 30.2 ounces! A FF mirrorless would only gain an ounce or so, say about 12 ounces total.
Granted but, I'm assuming you would still want to use EOS lenses on this mirrorless FF? You'd save weight on the body but, for example, a fast 85mm is still going to be a heavy thing, no matter what system it is designed for.
Do you shoot a 1DsIII right now? it would seem silly to compare it to an NEX 7, a camera that is quite different. Are your interests moving in such a way that you actually would replace a 1DsIII with a FF NEX camera?

Nothing's wrong with Yashica T4
Are you suggesting you'll be taking studio shots with an X100? I don't think so.
Terry Richardson did studio work with a Yashica T4 Film P&S. The right tool isn't always a Canon 1Ds, sometimes it's a Fuji X100 or aSony NEX 7.- FF, CZ Tessar, small and light. Too bad there is nothing similar with a digital sensor. Just imagine Canon PowerShot ... FF + a nice 35mm prime lens
and cheap.
and a T4. I too have never understood why someone hasn't made a digital FF P&S. Kyocera (Contax and Yashica) is out of the camera business, but a digital Nikon T35 should be a big seller.
Fair enough. I agree. You can do any type of photography you like with any type of equipment you want and get unique and interesting results whether for artistic or technical reasons. An X100 is great camera with a fantastic sensor. Leica's are great cameras. Some nice shots have been taken with an iPhone. But still I don't understand your statement that you're going to ditch your DLSR for an X100 because Canon won't wake up and realize you want a good small camera. Maybe I'm missing the point.

Why do people complain so much about XXXD & XXXXD Rebels. If it wasn't for those Income boosters; the XXD & XD cameras would either not exist or cost much more. They are able to spread R&D cost to the masses.
And 99% of camera needs could be handled by the T3 kit. So please make tons of XXXD & XXXXD cameras so I can get my XD camera for a reasonable price (not Hasselblad prices).
