Canon EOS C100 & C500 Coming? [CR1]

[unadog]

As for Apple, they have gone too consumer and it's hurting their Pro Market. I certainly hope they don't discontinue the towers, otherwise, what am I going to use? I need all the power I can get from a computer and can't do my stuff on a laptop or an iMac.

Creative Cow has a workflow article about processing with Premiere Pro CS 5.5 on an HP Windows box.

He is a lifetime Mac guy, but moving to the Adobe metadata workflow with no transcoding.

I am a photographer who has done digital imaging since 1991 on all kinds of boxes - Dec Alpha workstations, Sun, IBM mainframe, Oracle databases, etc. Lots of different types of boxes out there that use the same i7 Intel hardware, but are 33% of the cost of a Mac, spec for spec. You'll do fine!

Good luck.

Give it the 5d3 censor, dual digi5 processors, in a 1dX body, and we have a 4k DSLR, or a high bit depth 2k camera.

To use car anthologies:

why in a bulky 1DX body?

You need the room for the processors and to allow for heat dissipation. Thinks going to have to crank pretty bad.

With Canon, lower numbered models are the high end ones.  A C100 would likely be a flagship model while a C500 a low end model.  Perhaps a 5D MK III sensor with high end body fast frame rates and 4K??

True for Photography but could it be possible for them to change that with the Cinema EOS segment?

I have a feeling the low end will be a C300 but with limited outputs (no HD:SDI for example), basically what you find on the side of the 1D series currently. It will have the same 1080p C300 sensor but crammed into a 1D style body, with EF mount only.

 
You have a point, professional cam corders seem to have higher numbers with higher prices, but its not consistent.
