New DSLR on Tuesday, October 18, 2011. [CR3]

Which one?

I am 99% positive we’re going to see a new DSLR next Tuesday, all the clues are pointing that way and I’m willing to give it a [CR3] rating.

What camera? No [CR] rating on this yet.

Everything is pointing to a new 1D series camera, I am getting zero information from sources or from anywhere else on the web about any other camera.  We started hearing 6 months ago that the next EOS camera would be a new 1D and the bits of information are all pointing that way again.

For now the best spec list I have is what I posted a few days ago.

• 16-18mp


• Full Frame


• ISO 51,200


• Dual Digic V


• Crazy frame rates of 12-14fps have been reported


• 61 AF points has also been reported

Stock levels of the 1D Mark IV also point me in this direction. It seems they are very much being built to fill orders. There doesn’t seem to be any excess stock too many places.

DigitalRev?

Using a page from the Canon Playbook, I cannot see them lowering the MP from the flagship camera whether your looking at the 1ds (21mp)... then again, I could see them doing kind of what the nikon 700 does where they offer there 30mp+ regular slow mo settings or a cropped 1.3 or 1.6 version that would be eq of 16-18mp with a crazy 12-14 FPS.  I also would hope the ISO could also be a tad higher, but a lot can happen for the next few weeks/months... I also hope they release the 5d with this release... if they do, that could be enough for nikon to crap their pants...

DigitalRev?

LOL, no... never again.

If the specs are like the ones mentioned, it sounds like a Nikon D3s competitor.

A low megapixel FF Canon versus a high megapixel FF Nikon, if the D800 rumors are accurate.
Didn’t expect that.

[lol]

Less than a week to find out... even assuming it's a 1 series that I've no intention of getting, it might give hints of what might be to come in the 5D3

[Tarrum]

Hm, definitely interesting.

But if it's a 1D, it's the same amount of pixels, and maximum is ISO 51200? Or is that the highest, and then expansions like 102400?

If it's the 1Ds, it has less megapixels - makes no sense, Canon has and had the technology to put much more pixels and keep the performance great.

I'm guessing a 1D, though am a bit disappointed, was hoping for the 1Ds.

Anybody besides me remember this?

The signs have been pointing towards a NEW DSLR soon, Moving the 1D series to FF was just a matter of time. 

The low pixel density of a 18mp FF camera would certainly give it better low ISO capability, and might tempt me to replace my 5D MK II just to get the ISO boost, since I do a lot of low light photography.  I really don't care about more FPS.

Those who shoot wildlife and birds will find such a camera to be less useful than a 1D MK IV or a 7D, with a lot fewer pixels on the target.

i can´t complain about low ISO performance... 

when i read 16-18 MP i first thought this is maybe the FF model that will be placed below the 5D.
but then all points to a 1D model.

If it has ISO 51200 without expansion I would expect it to have at least a H1 and H2 which would have put it at 204800. Interseting at least.

I would love to see someone crush the A77's 12fps. Just because.

Exciting!

More than 9 fps on FF seems impossible with a moving mirror. A77 got a fixed one...

The FF Nikon D3s can do 11fps.

nope... if nikon can do it canon sure can.
ok nikon 3Ds does it only in DX mode but that is more a processing problem then a mirror problem.

Seems like a D3S killer / D4 competitor.  I really like these specs.

Pair this with a high megapixel 5D mark III and I'm in heaven.  I hope it has nifty video features.
