Canon EOS-3D Surfaces Again [CR1]

[Heidrun]

Its gonna be mirrorless

It really love a high mp camera, but for my needs now and the foreseeable future I'm leaning more towards MF for the detail, some I'm hoping for a small, mirrorless and fullframe EF-body. Would be amazing.

<strong>3D for the megapixel lover<br />


</strong>The Canon EOS-3D has been a rumored camera since before rumor sites, and every so often a flurry of new rumors under the moniker “EOS-3D” surface.</p>
<p>Recently a suggestion that a new “high megapixel” camera will be around by spring 2013 has come about. It’s reported that at least a couple of test bodies are being used in the US and in Asia.</p>
<p>While I don’t doubt high megapixel sensors are in testing, it’s probably too early to nail down exact specs. I also dislike the name “3D” if a product doesn’t actually shoot 3D.</p>
<p>Another suggestion is the 1D C isn’t going to be the only Cinema EOS DSLR by the end of 2013.</p>

If Canon thinks that to come out a new body by increasing the mega pix to compete with Nikon D800 ... please think again .... it is really not about mega pixels anymore .... it is more about sensor quality and technology that the market is after now! Adding more pixels into the same 2005 silicon die, year in and year out, simply doesn't work anymore this time .... it is more about colour depth (16-bits), dynamic range (14 stops) and low light capability that give Medium Format a real run for its money that the market is after this time!!!!

A few more MP wouldn't hurt but some crazy 40-45MP with locked 3fps and same old DR would be worse compared to the D800 than the 5D3 IMO, at least the 5D3 gives you 6fps in FF and non-line skipped video.
