From a POTN Thread
“At an NFL preseason game on Friday night in NJ, some newspaper photogs were talking about a prototype PRO camera that they saw earlier in the week.” The person followed up stating that they heard it “first hand, and that the photographers work for one of the major outlets and said they saw the camera in their offices – they are using a lot of 5D's now because of the video features and are looking forward to using a pro camera with video.”

thanks Steven
cr
Wow, you posted this up pretty fast!
I hope its coming soon!
He’s got good sources :)
I need CR3
I wouldn’t call POTN a good source, I can make up things more credible than POTN rumors any day!
Hahahaha it’s like POTN to CanonRumor in a circle…why should I believe ?.
Well, we are close to the most important event in the world: the football world cup. (Football is what americans mistakenly call “soccer”…). It is the biggest showcase for cameras. If I worked for Canon marketing, for sure I would want the pro shooter to have some time to get used to the cameras before the big event.
So, I guess it makes sense.
Just because it’s on POTN doesn’t mean the guy didn’t hear something.
What’s the difference between someone posting something they heard on POTN and someone emailing Canon Rumors Guy saying they heard it. CR1 in the title?!
A person posting on POTN is putting their (online) reputation on the line (well sort of) as they aren’t (as) “Anonymous”.
Any douche can email anonymously to CR just get see their wishlist posted.
Perhaps because this is (supposedly) a first hand account rather than an anonymous email. ;)
that is a good point…and Canon is a big sponsor for the World Cup. No point in putting it out next fall or even next spring…not enough time for people to experiment with it and find out it’s good qualities. whether this rumor is credible…I’m iffy, but a part of me wouldn’t be surprised
But what would you say would be better then the mk III?
There have been lots of prototypes spotted over the past year, both 1D and 1Ds types. Hopefully, they are now testing a pretty much final configuration.
what percentage of canon cameras sold are pro 1D cameras???
Could have been the Nikon D4. The post doesn’t mention Canon. Anyway it still qualifies as a ‘rumor’
Well, since he was talking about the dudes using a 5DmkII for the video. They’re probably using a Canon prototype with those EF lenses they have hanging around. :P
But who knows.
A 1D MK IV is coming (eventually) and it will have video.
Nothing earth shattering about it.
Must be a Canon for sure.
They said it had a print button!
Ya’ll laugh about the “Print Button”, but Canon WILL be including a “Send to Video” button on upcoming bodies.
Yet another area where Nikon users will bust our balls…
Precisely.
I, for one, don’t care too much about the 1D series. Gimme something concrete about the 60D! :D
exactly what i meant… pros must be like 1% of the dslr sold…
as much as i like there being progress that will soon be in the cameras i can buy, these rumors are not too relevant for me…
bring on the <2000$ FF!
To be fair (and jokes aside) the direct print button now is a live-view button.
It’s button evolution in the making.
I need xxD Body ;)
I won’t use prototype camera in such an important event.
50D at your store right now. :P
yeah exactly
it’s an all new prototype direct print button!
I’m so happy I get to push the direct print button to activate liveview and shoot video, yay!
Yes, I love pushing it for as many things as possible! lol
Only ONE DP button!?! I’m devastated!!!
The guy heard it from someone else, who heard it from the person who had one. This is third-hand information. Yawn.
i havw an xxd body hahaha it called a 40d
Acrually you’re wrong about the Dark Side. The D4 will have a new focus assist light that doubles as a projector. I know it’s true because a little bird told me so. I’m selling all my Canon gear first thing tomorrow morning.
Interesting, and why not just follow the Athletic World Championship in Germany and you then we all can try that standard “count the numbers” to try to figure out which major brand is in the 1st position among the photographers! :)
agreed
That’s what a DVR/Tivo is for. Pause-zoom-count…repeat!
Direct print multi-tasking, yes?! :P
LOL projectors FTW!
Yeah, reputation on the line indeed. LOL get real dude!
Let’s see what we have here:
1) Everyone knows Canon is going to release a Pro camera some day in the future
2) POTN non-anonymous guy posts something about someone who heard that someone else is testing an unnamed Canon Pro camera model
How exactly is someone putting his reputation on the line here? Cause it seems to me there is zero substance to that post, the guy didn’t even bother to throw in the usual camera “spec” bullcr*p…
“the most important event in the world: the football world cup”
The most important SPORTING event, possibly. The most important event without qualification? No.
As for testing prototype cameras, if the 1DIV is close enough to release they won’t be prototypes by then. And the big agencies will have had them for testing long enough to have some feel for how they can be trusted.
Odd enough, someone was complaining on a PS thread here that they wanted more Mk IV info. It seems that whatever is posted, someone will complain that they want something else. Why post this? It’s all conjecture anyway.
60D
IMHO if there were a list of camera specs, that would make me think it’s more likely to be BS.
I was comparing emailing CR to posting on an online forum (where you can’t just change your name to suit your whim).
When you go on an online forum a lot and start posting rubbish, you do get a tarnished reputation. So it is on the line (sort of).
Note the “sort of” (which I used in my first post too).
Much more on the line than emailing totally anonymously to CR with your “I’m sure it’s true” comprehensive list of Camera specs.
People who post. “Yawn” irritate me no end. Go and be a jerk elsewhere.
Anyway, you’re wrong:
“the photog’s work for one of the major outlets and said they saw the camera in their offices – they are using a lot of 5D’s now because of the video features and are looking forward to using a pro camera with video.”
He heard it first hand (heard it from the original source).
Get your facts right BEFORE being a smart ass next time.
Canon wouldn’t trust you with it anyway. :P
J/K
There will be a whole row of them. Each for different print sizes.
And what about the next 7D ?
Not even a single piece of news…
Too right mate!
I’m waiting to be announced early september. Possible my new camera, just to be FF!
Soccer is actually a British term derived from a slang pronunciation of association since it’s officially association football … not just “football.” ;) So we americans mistakenly call Association Football, soccer, while yall mistakenly call it Football. :P
STILL REMEMBER WHEN SO MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS(“PROS”…) WERE SAYING (ALMOST COMPLAINING IN FACT)”WHO CARES ABOUT VIDEO”, “NOBODY USES VIDEO FEATURE SERIOUSLY”, “VIDEO FEATURE IS A GIMMICK”, AND SO ON…
well, if I follow this link, I’ll get to 2008 post…do I have to refresh it?
i need an XXX body, with double D-s :DDD
DUDE, TURN DOWN THE VOLUME ON YOUR IPOD!
Has there been anything spotted on the IAAF World Championships in Athletics Berlin? Some 7D/3D/1DIV prototypes?! Nothing so far? There have to be some new bodies circulating!
This sports event could work perfectly as a final “real life testing” before a release in September. Canon should make sure that there won´t be any “AF issues” again. It´s better to have a new model tested on an event like this BEFORE an official release than to have it “beta-tested” by professionals AFTER release.
They’ve moved the other DP buttons into the lens
Ok guys, it’s confirmed.
1D MarkIV will have 9 AF points like the 5D mark 2.
They can’t fix the 45AF of the MarkIII and can’t figure out how Nikon managed to make 51 AF even on the D300’s
That is because it doesn’t exist. Every time there is an announcement coming soon the 7D rumors resurface. This is no 7D and there won’t be in the near future.
+1
Plus one from another Australian.
What is the point of this post?
The EOS-1 series is very important for marketing. Not for sales.
Sorry, you are right. The most important SPORTING event. But what do you mean “without qualification”?
LOL +1
Or just press capslock.
Trolling? ;)
What’s the point of your post?
Quality of this website has gone downhill lately. Clicking on the price watch brings you back to the home menu and only some of the rumours are being given a CR classification.
LOL
This site is temporary on an other server. Look at the URL! Read the news!
The topic is from 2008 ;)
The post is 2009.
Don´t forget the 2! AF-points and the direct orgy button!
Even the Nikon sites are better. I just want a site with a direct print button.
What I’ve heard (whispered to me by a flying hippo) is that the new 1D will have one focus point.. located in the lower right corner… :)
the ‘IV’ is not likely for a Japanese company to use as the word for ‘4’ means ‘death/dead’ also. (if someone mentioned already, then you just read it twice. Too lazy for reading all off-topic. :) )
I think we get a 2D instead…. I am the source of this rumour.
Isn’t it odd there hasn’t been any leak even when we are this close to the announcement date?
I meant CR3 type of leak.
Very lame…
No one who is getting paid to take sports photos (monthly rent payment is riding on getting THE shot) is going to give up 10frames/sec and a fast af system for a dog slow camera body that has video. This rumor is crap.
The sporting event has no qualifications.
Besides, he’s way wrong. The most important event in the world is The Battle of Direct Print Buttons!
I spit in the general direction of projectors nothing is better than a direct print button!
what? Huh? Sorry, can’t hear now. Geeze cap master, I’d have never bought the 5D2 without the video
They’re at the Angels baseball games, the playground for Canon in Irvine, but you can’t spot them because they put black gaffers over the markings. The only giveaway is the glowing LED direct print button, it’s glows red when L lenses are on, green when DO lenses are on, and yellow for standard EF.
Indeed!
omg lulz. Direct video buttons?? WINNAR!
That’s in the CR4 section
yup..
Also… have you read the new system??? There are no CR ratings for rumors taken from other sites (forums/northlight/etc) becuase CR guy has no way to guage their veracity.
errr? who said it was going to be slow????
he’s referring tot he reference that sports shooters are using 5D2s.
Sorry, I wrote from a very noisy location :)
Too much traffic around
I’m telling you, there will be a “direct video” button on the new Canon body.
I think pro bodies are greater than 1 percent, if it was so little of the money r&d in that sector could hardly be justified to corporate management
o rly?! Well, I say you’re wrong.
I have nothing to back up my claim, but you’re still wrong.
And direct print button of course
With direct print buttons who needs FF?
How about a direct project button?!
You are correct again.
+2 from a Tasmanian :P
70D

The D is for “Direct” Print.
With direct print buttons
1.3 crop sucks and direct print buttons rulezors
Suurrreeeeeee you’re not the REAL David, you’re just some dude messing around.
I’m really, truly the real David. I even have the broken leg (or was that arm) to prove it.
Riighht next thing you’ll be calling yourself Joe. :P
I wouldn’t do that!
LOL I’m tired.
Is this a joke?
Sure looks like it.
Hahaha 100 kudos!
Please, be FF :)
with video
and solid AF
500000000000000000000D
If so, then why are Canon so paranoid about protecting 1-series features? You could market, more strongly, an intermediate tier having a few top end features.
+1
I gave up I gave up…Canon wonnnnnnn…..
I hope there are two direct video buttons. I plan on using it so much that the first one might wear out. :)
dp buttons are ok.
but 1.3 crop … this is so stupid that … I believe is true
I think most of it is. Just folks bored at work (or at home with broken limbs). Kinda sad really.
Would you like a directprint button to go with that sir? ROFFLE
Go shoots some sports with your 5D2 and get back with us. You’ll end up with more crap oof shots than anything else. The 5D2 was never designed for sports. I’m not saying you can’t get lucky, but anyone who has used a 1 series camera would never trust their lively hood to luck when they could use a 1 series camera and not have to.
Next, we are talking about companies who understand the media they are working in and want to stay competitive. They aren’t going to send a guy to shoot sports with out the necessary gear. If they are shooting sports video, they will use purpose built equipment. We are talking about pros here, not artists on a budget. I can see the sending out 5D2 with the non-action guys, but not for sports.

why is that important
They are shot with a 1DIV?
PLEASE, stop with the idiotic direct print button jokes. For crying out loud people, the joke is dead. Yes, Canon sticks the dumb things on everything consumer related. We get it. We’re all so impressed that you’re smart enough to notice and point it out in EVERY F!CKING POST!!!
Do ya think you can move beyond a small witticism that had its day YEARS ago? Do ya? IT IS NOT F-IN FUNNY anymore!!!!!!!!

Gotta pass the time somehow…the silence is deafening.
Now I understand what “DP Review” stands for! :)
This photo is fugly (grainy, no details in shadows and highlights ).
And… congratulation, you were spotted checking a “nude celebrity” website.

Meh. Better AF and more AF Points. More AF points is secondary. The Quality of the AF needs to improve…right now its average. I am hoping its a lot better this time around.
Haha, well its not like I can afford a 1D right now. But maybe they’ll pass that technology into lower-end cams.

Bingo!!!
Yawn….
Northlight Images is reporting that we’re not getting another Prosumer camera. If we get anything, it’s a pro model.
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_7d.html
Learn to count – here, I’ll help.
Some guy sees the camera: 1st hand.
It’s mentioned to someone who reports it on POTN: 2nd hand.
The POTN rumour is repeated here: 3rd hand.
What was that about getting your facts right before being a smart ass?
“Go shoots some sports with your 5D2 and get back with us. You’ll end up with more crap oof shots than anything else.”
Christ, learn to read, will you?
they are using a lot of 5D’s now because of the video features.
“Northlight Images is reporting that we’re not getting another Prosumer camera”
Northlight isn’t “reporting” anything – just regurgitating rumours, just like every other rumour site.
The guy on POTN HEARD it first hand jerk.
That’s a very long response to that joke.
I agree we need moar direct print buttons!
Must be the direct print buttons making them do it!
But you getting mad about it sure is funny!
Moar diect print buttons FTW!!!11
I’m getting worried that the Aug 19 event will just be point and shoot – palooza; there’s an absence of credible rumors re any DSLR.
a new xxD body is announce each year. 1 serie user are due.
Hopefully not. Who cares about a new ixus or something. Generally speaking Ixus buyers aren’t hanging out for the next release to get that must have new feature. They just buy whichever P&S the sales man pitches best to them.
True, it’s so hard to wait for a press release with no credible rumours to keep us entertained.
Either this will be the most crappy press release ever, or Canon’s secrecy is so high on it because it’s some super new model.
Going on pass evidence though, there are usually leaks so close to a new release (50D was leaked on Canon’s China site as was the 5DII) so I’m guessing this won’t be earth shattering stuff.
Prepare for disappointment guys/gals.
Only thing that will truly disappoint is if Canon take away our direct print buttons. :(
Sure
over 9000D
+1
I have no idea how they could possibly keep things this tight given how close we are to the announcement. Bunch of P&S updates FTL.
I’m still hoping for a 1D update soon.
That’s because the NEW direct print buttons are automatic. Somewhere out back there is a printer frantically direct printing each shot.
It’s the new Polaroid I say.
No, you’re wrong. I saw it walking around a minute ago.
And dual direct print buttons.
YAWN…. sorry, hit the direct yawn button by mistake.
How high can we make this reply hill climb?!
Up to the sky?
That high enough?
Top end tends to be a lot more profitable too- there’s a lot of competition in the consumer end of the market.
and now for the flatness -__-
There’s ONE DP (unqualified) button.
Then there are the:
-Fully sharpened DP
-Half sharpened DP
-Airbrushed DP
-Max saturation DP
-etc
agreed
Your right $ is a bad number for the Japanese, the Nikon F4 was a bomb that almost bankrupted them.
Man, who pressed your direct print button?
About 24 hours to go….
hahahahah lol! thats ventrilo right?
most of the stuff ends dripping down to less expensive models during the years… maybe thats what all the R&D is for…
Looks like it’s reached it’s limit. Plateau time.
I see YOU are up to version five yourself.
51 point direct print.
The almighty power of DIRECT PRINT!
Thank goodness for direct print buttons. ;-)
Someone got out of the wrong side of the direct print bed today I think. LOL

= 6
You COULD afford a direct print button though.
That’s 86,400 presses of the direct print button.
Well I need DIRECT PRINT!
It was direct printed to his brain I hear.
I’d have to agree. There is too little information coming. I’d be very surprised if it’s 1DIV and L lenses (or even EF-S lenses).
My guess: New IXUS or maybe the G11 if we’re lucky (not interested in the G11 unless it has interchangeable lenses and can use current lenses with an adapter (that would be very awesome indeed, though very, very unlikely).
Is the CR guy sleeping. Where’s the CR3 guys?!
And we go down again :P
Canon having something on the 8-19-2009?
Bobatkin site
100D
Like on the 5D mark 2, it must be a size constraint – probably to make space for the multiple direct print buttons.
That also means 24 hours before the next big update of Fake Chuck’s blog :)
falllllllllling! or rollllllllllling! down the hill
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_7d.html
“In a comment from one of our more frequent sources (thanks), we’re told that the prospect of another ‘line’ of SLRs (i.e. the 7D) is considered unlikely and that the current makeup of Canon’s range is considered to be a relatively good match to consumer/pro demand.”
Tomorrow’s the big day and nobody’s got a clue?
no more new CR2 or CR3?
+1 the joke is extremely tired, and it was never very funny in the first place.
I don’t expect anything either. Give them an 18 month cycle concerning xxD’s. Or even a 24 month. I’m not in a hurry for nothing with my 30D. As an amateur photographer I just would like to see two main improvements on whatever will come out: better High ISO and higher DR. And you are right, we repeatedly read that these past month. But that’s the only specs I go for.
*2=12
Success, i lol’d.
Direct print to 51 printers, to achieve maximum speed of course.
Lo and behold they may even add a function so that you can print one of each 51 filters to each different one.
Either Canon has done a great job in stopping leaks or they have nothing to show
No CR3… maybe nothing new from Canon this year…
Well looks like I’m just going to can it and order a d90 today :) Can’t wait forever.
Please, don’t!!! We can’t live without you!!! Don’t leave us!!!
lol
I don’t know how to put this but I’m kind of a big deal.
People know me.
I’m very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
They are scrapping the EF mount and giving us an all new mount called DP, Direct Print mount.
ok that’s even funnier than direct print buttons, hahaha
Technically first hand would be if the guy who saw it with his own eyes posted that directly here.
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin around…

If all they sold was 1 series cameras Canon would go out of business in a day. They could drop the 1 series entirely and not see more than a small dent in their $44,990,780 net sales. However, from a perception standpoint, they get a ton mileage from consumers seeing pros using pro Canon cameras on TV, that and Andre playing tennis.
or lenses
slacking with direct print buttons is my speciality
ROFLMAO
A pro camera with video? Must’ve been the Nikon D300s :-)
Only 6 more hours to go…..
Yeah!!! Who needs lenses when you can direct print!!!
haha i really did love that comment…
btw we are half way back down the hill
Are we back down that hill yet?
Opps replied to the wrong one, going back down again.
Almost there kids.
YAY!! We made it!
Nikon cameras can never be PRO. They don’t have direct print buttons.
my direct print button is extremely tired from being pressed all the time.
according to my canon service point’s owner, i have the reliable info that there will be a d4 with video next month, but no 7D.
Certainly need to bring out a 60D . The New Pentax K 7 knocks the spots off both 50D and 500D. Would be nice if whatever it is arrives before Xmas, else I’m going with the Pentax.
see this:

I hope so
