After reading this blog for quite awhile, I applaud CR for coming out with this bold prediction ... nearly a week before the scheduled event.

With all due respect to CR he HAD to come up with a something in case it is launched... I think the website would lose cred if he didnt announce something with a week before the event, I think it is better for him to predict it and it not materialise rather then make it seem like he didn't know it was coming.

I hope the info is credible and we see something coming through.

There is a 95% chance I'll buy it whatever it is if it's full frame. I'm a slave to consumerism.

You are right and I agree ... but at the same time, my point was at least he came out with a CR3 and did not sit on the side lines until he had more confirmation info - just to  protect his backside (ala "CYA") - which far too many other people do these days.

As for me, I am a slave to new fancy toys ...

DigitalRev?

LOL, no... never again.

Why? As I remember they did go to a Canon event and they even made a video about it. The only problem was they did not tweet about the event at the time. Nothing wrong with DigitalRev.

It's funny that we are just a few days away from announcement and there is still no confirmed leaks about the upcoming DSLR release. Contrast this with Nikonrumors which already has a 99% confidence leak about the upcoming D800. Canon really guard their secrets well. I suspect there was a severe leak on their CMOS technology many years back.

OK, Don't laugh....... But I saw a post awhile ago that Canon had Patented a form of the Foven Sensor? If this has a new sensor, could it be the Foven type???  So the mention of 18 MP would be .. 54mp as the sensor is three layers. Now, if you pump dual DIGI V's behinf that, do you get a high FPS??

Once again, just my 2 cents worth!

I'm sorry, but this thread is way off the mark.

All signs are pointing to a new Powershot ELPH.

[EYEONE]

I'm not sure why FF 18mp is so hard to believe for the 1D. If we were talking about the 1Ds I might agree. But the 1D has always been Canon's speed machine and the 1Ds the resolution monster.

It's comparing apples and oranges.

If it's a D3s competitor, am I the only one who's thinking it's too late? Nikon MAY announce a D4 next year. And they probably may have some killer features...?

[Justin]

None of this makes a lick of sense. 1D4 is what? Less than 2 years old? 1Ds3 is ancient. 5D2 is loong in the tooth at over 3 years. This must be a joke--18mpx ff sensor? Nikon and Canon completely switch positions? I don't see it. I'm calling bluff and we'll see a high mpx merged 1 series camera. To achieve 14 fps, yeah maybe the camera will crop the sensor to 18 mpx.

I'm going to be stunned if this rumored camera emerges.

agree..... it could be a powershot to compete with nikon j1/v1

[DarkKnightNine]

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...

Why impossible? My Canon 1D Mark IV already shoots 10fps (with a moving mirror).

Does your 1D IV have the same size mirror as a FF body?  In case you aren't sure, the answer is no.  Do you suppose a smaller mirror can be more easily made to move faster?  Simple physics tells us the answer to that is yes.

Still, as discussed above, a FF mirror can certainly hit 10 fps - Canon has done it with film cameras, and a current Nikon FF dSLR achieves 11 fps in terms of mirror movement.

I really don't care which XD model comes out. I just want them to start coming out.  1Ds means the 5D is soon.  1D means the 7D update is soon. 3D, 5D, 6D or 7D shakes up the market for the small agency pros.

I think a 7D2 is coming out soon; it has to come out before the T4i; same thing for a 60D2 or 70D.  You can't have the 650D, a consumer level camera, come out with Digic 5 before the 7D & 60D2/70D has it.

I'm putting my own (CR3) on a 7D2 and  my own (CR2) on a 60D2/70D before the release on the 2012 T4i.

But the PowerShot S100 already has Digic 5...

I don't see a 7D2 until 2013.  But I'd put money on a new Rebel T4i/650D in 1Q2012.  It could even have a new sensor -not many who'd be interested in a 7D would be troubled by a 21 MP APS-C sensor in a new Rebel.  The 70D is a different matter.  I see the APS-C launch order as T4i then 7D2 then 70D.

I really like the Nikon D3X but as a professional photographer with thousands of dollars invested in top quality L glass, it's just not possible to even consider switching. Not to mention I like and understand Canon lenses better than I do Nikon's. So whatever this new camera is, I hope it will at least be on par with or better than the Nikon D3X. I want a FF camera with great low light performance, high resolution and fast fps all in one sweet package. That's my dream camera. If this camera does all that, I'll buy two or maybe even three.

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.

D3s can't AF-C in 10 fps mode. A77 can
