Another Spec List for the Entry Level Full Frame EOS

[trygved]

Exactly the camera I'm waiting for.

Same me! If it's 5d2 with a new sensor and 7d's AF, I'm in!

Comparing the image quality of RAW files from 5D Mark II and 5D Mark III, "new sensor" means pretty much nothing! Basicly you're in for 4 year ago's image quality with 3 year ago's AF.

I'm sick and tired of Canon playing mix & match with yesterday's tech!

But you've nailed it on the head. This camera is innovative, not because of the new tech, but because the combination of technology hits a sweet spot.

5D mkII provides the FF sensor with AF of a T2i.
7D provides killer AF but shares its sensor with a T2i.
Combine these flagship cameras of yesteryear and price it the same as 4 year old tech, and there lies its appeal.

All we need now...are photos of this "mysterious" FF. D600 images are "out" so why couldnt we have something like them ? 

...after "leak" of photos there will be 20 pages on that post

I got my MK3 for 3,099$. Best deal ever.

I might replace my 7D with this model possibly though.

[FunPhotons]

I don't get it, what part of the market does this serve? If they were aggressive on pricing then I could see the FF wannabes buying (probably not a huge market?), but we know Canon won't be easy on the wallet.

How?

Come on Canon, get the specs nailed down and announced.   I've got the FF bug and I'm ready to pull the trigger.  If the specs are what's rumoured in this post and it has AFMA, I'm likely in.  I do expect it to be $2500 and not $2000  ($2000 will be reserved for the new 7D). 

Otherwise, I'm back to the 5D3 but it's price needs to drop a little more to $3000 and I may have to sell something.

i've been waiting for this camera since the beginning of the year!! the 5d mk iii was an option but too expensive! now canon please announce and start selling it before autumn please!!

Max 5D3 ISO is  102400

18mp would be cool cause its the 1dx sensor.

I would buy it.

I know that its probably too early for any assumptions but

• 1D-X - native ISO range: 100 - 51 200
• 5D Mk III - native ISO range: 100-25 600
• rumored new FF - native ISO range: 100-51 200

It makes sense to re-use 1D-X sensor in feature-crippled/slower/more consumer oriented body.

I'm buying one! perfect complement to my 7D and L lenses.

How is it possible to have the newest tech and low price at the same time???

Depends on what you assume is max ISO. In my assumption I get it as maximum native ISO - not H1 or H2.

Cool i'll probably buy it! Although I think people will rather buy this one over the 7D which means Canon loses on 7D

No they do not lose  Depends on what you need. 7D has more reach, 7D is faster (8 fps) and can use EF-S lenses. My guess is that 7D Mk II will come with 22 or 24 MPx sensor, high fps and maybe dual Digic V.

Is this question for real?

A simple example would be the iPhone/iPad!  Every generation is clearly superior over the previous yet the pricing stays the same! That's how!

If we're going to pay more each year for better tech, well, I guess a camera will cost $50.000 in 2020!
