<p>We should see these announced tonight.</p>
<p><strong>New DSLR?</strong>

The next one is coming in October, more on that later.</p>

Wow, kind of shocked the new P&S are still using digic iv.
More than shocked. Is Digic V still not ready yet then?

Somehow I dont think they would want their new processer debuted on a P & S. I'm sure they would rather tout a new processor on a new camera, anyone hear of the 5d mark 3 or 1ds mark iv/v????

i agree theres no way they would announce there new processor with a p&s that will come with one of the big buys probably a 1 series 1st then hopefully a couple of days later the 5D mk3 :D

Totally agree with the view that they wouldn't announce DIGIC5 on the new P&S cameras. In fact, DIGIC4 is still probably more than enough processing power for all the P&S so they may have produced a huge stockpile or will continue to manufacture it for a while to differentiate lower end cameras and they'd still need it for the 7D and lower DSLRs until such time as they announce a 7D2, etc.

Sounds good :p I hope there finally arrived some hints from known sources (any preproduction models around?) ;D

I can't find Canon putting it's latest innovation into a model where neither most users don't care about it nor it is neccessary. As far as I recall the 1D series where the ones to receive the new processor with (I think) the 50D beeing an exeption (1D III came shortly after)

True - and as has been pointed out, most P&S don't need anything more than the DIGIC IV at the moment.

Things probably point to a new processor in a 1DV or 1DsIV. I doubt we would see the 5DIII before at least one of these is launched.

If the rumours about a full frame 1DV are true, then an interesting approach would be for Canon to launch the 1DV, which would give sports shooters and studio pros what they need, but allude to something bigger coming, and launch the 1DsIV a few months later, then a 5DIII after the dust has settled. Of course, we are all just speculating. If you add a 7DII after the 5DIII, that gives Canon a year's worth of high end DSLR announcements and the opportunity to create a lot of hype.

AFAIK they have often had new digic appear in something small first.

they could use digic v for higher quality video (the P&S and maybe better AF and in cam CA removal which might be good since lots of the P&S get shot jpg only)
