A new Canon DSLR seems to be getting teased on social media by a Canon ambassador

[ketsang]

What's this lens 80-150 f 2,8 ?

Probably meant to be Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 and he was using Olympus OM-D E-M1X .

80-150mm on FF is not going to get you that close to a tiger. Don't get too excited

I'm not excited but rather curious what this lens is )
Because i am not shure it is a Canono lens, maybe mentioned Olympus kit? I really hope not...

yep

I'm afraid it's the Olympus 40-150mm f:2.8 Pro (Equiv. to 80-300mm 2.8)

And he cant talk about it or say its name because he is a canon ambasador.
Case closed

The 1Dx II used a Dual Digic 6+ processor. Canon have moved on two models later to a Digic 8...so if a Dual Digic 8+ then yes it's feasible. 1DxII 20.2*16 = 323 mp/s. A Dual Digic 7+ should be good for a 1.4x increase...so that's 452mp/s (28mp @ 16fps or 22.6 mp @ 20 fps). Using the same historical formula, a Dual Digic 8+ should be good for 1.4x that...633 mp/s...which is insane processing through put. 30 fps @ 21mp.

Full sensor readout at that rate is the bigger challenge.

I always wandered why no one chose me to do those tests.. A free camera, everyone wants to hear what I have to say about it. I would even do it for free (as long I get to keep it in the end), Hope someone hears me...

Why? Oversampled sensors on video cameras do this routinely. At even higher data rates in fact.

30 fps is unlikely with a mirror though. It could possibly be a pro R camera. If he is shooting long he would need to use EF lenses because there are no long R lenses, so him not using R lenses does not exclude a R body.

I'm more interested in where one can go to reliably get close shots of an adult cuckoo!

 

[3kramd5]

Why?

I’m not sure why. Pixel count maybe?

New Mexico? Road Runners are a type of cuckoo.

After getting people all spun up, I’m going to laugh really hard if he’s playing with a prototype Sony a9ii.

I think nobody would like this, but maybe is an Olympus OM-D E-M1X

Or that; that would also be amusing.

Interesting, the various conclusions that can be drawn from little or no information! Great fun though.

Lets hope the Canon 90D get here soon or i'm personally going to the 5DM4 30 ff megapixels looks great for me

It's a Nikon DSLR or a Sony MILC.

Canon is far too conservative to let an ambassador market virally like this. They may prove me wrong, but there is a stronger history of Sony poaching wildlife professionals by buying their influence.

 

[Tugela]

I’m not sure why. Pixel count maybe?

Oversampled video on cameras such as Panasonic and Sony have just as many pixels, and they shoot at 30fps, some even at 60fps.

Some Sony cameras already shoot 24 fps stills with AF/AE tracking, even small point and shoots like the RX100V, and that is a few years old, it is not something special. I expect that the next generation processors will be even faster than that.

Not long so ago sony’s A7R sensor was released with a spec sheet max of 5FPS. They currently list as many as 60FPS and as little as 4FPS for full pixel readout.

Unfortunately canon doesn’t sell retail sensors so this data isn’t available.

Unlikely. There is not much chance of them letting a current Canon insider have access to pre-release systems. It is far more likely to be something like the pro-R that is rumored.

Sorry for my intrusion. Please somebody tell me in a few words. Is Canon doomed this time?
