First 20.2MP Rebel. No DPAF like the 6D.

Considering the specs of D750 you would figure that Canon would want to have the 750D be confused with D750.

And have Nikon Corp cry bloody murder for deliberately confusing the customer

Nikon would not have a leg to stand on this, everybody knew that the next Rebel would be 750D. Canon could have complained about Nikon, D750 doen't exactly fit in Nikon's numbering scheme. Does Nikon even have a numbering scheme?

Nikon D750?! This is not the DSLR you're looking for... *waves Jedi hand*

This is not the DSLR I'm looking for.

I own a lot of Canon stuff and like it, but is another Rebel really necessary?

Codename "Magic Lantern buster" as they cannot cope with these many camera body releases :-\

Yes if it means some new stuff like top-LCD (or maybe even some EVF/mirrorless things, that would be crazy!) and new xxMP or "new" 70D/7DII sensor. If it is the same as what, four rebels before then no thank you.

It makes sense from a marketing point of view, giving the average consumer access to the 'latest' technology and a reason to buy the newest model at a premium :

Re: The New Rebel Will be Called the 760D

Why should Canon change the name?
In many magazines you can read, that the D750 is a really good cam. So if a newbe see a 750D in the internet for less than half of the price of the D750, he will maybe buy it and will never notice, that he bought the wrong cam, because a newbe doesn't really needs the features of a cam. ;D

Re: The New Rebel Will be Called the 760D

Whilst from different generations it's not like 60D and D60 ever caused issues

 

[zim]

That just sound weird
So based on these scant specs 750 gets auto stills shooting modes, implies 760 doesn't ?
760 gets auto video modes but not auto stills modes ?

750 geared towards stills ?
760 geared towards video?

but you can still do video on a 750 and stills on a 760......

so what's the point other than confusing me!

Does that mean the only the Canon 760D will have top LCD and not the 750D?

Any news regarding the brand of the sensor?

Wonder what will be the prices in euros for the 750D and 760D, regading the prices for the 70D.

These specs are pretty good for a rebel if they are indeed true. 24Mp (most on any current Canon APS-C is 20), wifi and NFC plus a decent 5fps. And the top LCD and rear dial is just icing on the cake. It's a beast! I would be very happy if I was a beginner looking to buy my first DSLR.

Not that surprised they left out the DPAF.

 

[gsealy]

OK, so now we have 2 versions of the new 5Ds and 2 versions of the new t6i. It seems to me that is going to cause confusion rather than giving the consumers more options. In purchasing one I would have to go through all the pros and cons of each rather than just "buying the darn thing". I mean who wants to second guess themselves after spending about $4K on the 5Ds or $1K on the t6i?

 

[Chaitanya]

I eagre to see how Canon prices the two cameras, 760D will be perfect for macro work on budget.

 

[PureClassA]

The 24MP sensor is what jumps out at me. That's a whole new animal for Canon. Did they make it? Did Sony? Did Nintendo?

We got a DPAF 20.2MP 70D, semi-flagship not long ago. Then the DPAF "tweaked up" 20.2MP 7D2 full flagship

And now along comes this lil' Rebel with 24MP??? Uhh-k.

Is it weird that I love it when CR says that they were wrong? I think it shows a greater amount of character for the admin(s) to open an update informing everyone of the error rather than just erasing and/or updating the thread. Kudos Señor CR Guy! It's one of the many things that makes this forum great.

Cheers!
