Rumored 1D Mark V For October & Spec List [CR1]

[Canon Rumors]

Share

A far fetched spec list? An amalgamated 1Ds/1D Spec List.

Specifications

• 18mp
• 61 AF Points
• Native ISO of 100-51200
• New Battery
• 150g-200g heavier that current EOS-1s
• October 18 Announcement

CR’s Take Currently this is the only information I’ve seen in regards to such a camera. I’d rank this as highly unlikely for the moment.

From [NL] via [1K1] originally from [DCI]

Hopefully they'll do a better job with the ISO (quality) 3200 and above.

61 point AF, yeah, spread across a wider part of the viewfinder would be ace.

But 200g heavier? Can't see the reason for that, oh wait just saw on another forum it's Full Frame. Really? That has the potential to be stunning.

fairly not-believable.  I think someone has posted this in the forums as well.  besides the silly announcement date (since when does Canon want to come out right before a big Nikon announcement?  they like to come out right after), the ugrading from 16 MP to 18 MP seems a little pointless.  whenever the 1D V comes out, I expect it to carry 20+ MP (which would correspond in pixel density to a mid-30 MP FF camera ... makes sense, right?)

I agree 20+ MP would make MUCH more sense

[J. McCabe]

The new battery item I believe.

[Bob Howland]

Some of the early rumors for the Nikon D4 had it at 18MP with a completely new focusing system. It'll be interesting to see if these specs match that camera.

That's assuming it's APS-H, right?  I thought APS-H was dead.....

right, assuming it's APS-H.  that being said, the only folks who I've heard say APS-H is dead are people on forums.  to my knowledge, Canon has never issued a statement saying they feel their APS-H sensor is ready to be canned.

[DavidRiesenberg]

Not buying it by a longshot. This rumor seems nothing more than a guess by someone who doesn't know what 3 years means in sensor and microprocessor time. He simply assumes that a full frame, 10fps camera wouldn't be able to perform with more that 18MP today.

[Stuart]

Rubbish, its a 550/600/60/7D sensor joke - i guess as its going in loads of bodies.
We expect the DigicV to give at least a stop of moise improvement and would 18MP in aps-h for FF only give 1 more stop of performance - canon is (should be) better than that.

Is this rumour meant to tie in with the canon professionl show in london?

Cmon folks, stop sending in your wish lists

[bvukich]

Whoever made up this list needs to learn what native ISO means before sending in any more wish lists.

Looked this up myself and got confused: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=31048

What makes most sense to me is this response:
"The answer sounded like this: It's the ISO setting where the camera's chip was designed for and test results are based on this ISO sensitivity."

Meaning, 100 could be correct

Edit: Nevermind, I took a course and get it better now.

I see.  Well, I'd wager that Canon is going to can APS-H.  I think the A77 demonstrates that processing can be done fast enough to push a high frame rate with a dense sensor, all while being relatively affordable.  But, no one really knows.  We will have to wait.

could this be the "nikon killer"

18mp FF surely would have great ISO performance and with a native of 51.2k may have a usable 25.6k

maybe this is the low light monster and the 1Ds will be the studio camera with high MP

18 th october :-) im 40 on the 20th.. fingers crossed..
