Lower Price Full Frame Camera [CR1]

(1/14) > >>

Canon Rumors:
Share For Photokina?
Another mention of a new and less expensive full frame camera from Canon for Photokina. We reported this a few times before here and here. Specs mentioned include:
* 21mp
* Less weather sealing
* lesser AF system than the 5D3 CRs Take
While I don’t doubt a less expensive full frame camera in Canon’s future, I think most specs currently floating around will be of the wish-list variety. I would expect the camera to have the same 22mp sensor that is found in the 5D Mark III. After that , you can start knocking off about $1500 in “features” from the 5D3 to make the new camera.

Sounds like a 5D2 again.....

nitsujwalker:
So essentially it will be the 5d2?  I'm not sure why they don't just drop the price of the 5d2.

RuneL:
Excellent idea, but I'd rather have an EF-compatible mirrorless (With, god forbi, a FF sensor?)


Of topic: Why does the 5D X mockup have the top assembly from a 1D? Weird.

They did, they dropped the MSRP from $2499 to $2199...it just happened to coincide with the time prices normally rise. That said, there have been a variety of deals where its been <$2k.

And they dropped it fairly significantly in their refurb store...with Canon Loyalty, a refurb 5D comes out to $1500ish. Can't really get any cheaper: http://shop.usa.canon.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/subCategory_10051_10051_-1_29252#
