A New EOS Pro Body With 46mp Next Month? [CR1]

[waving_odd]

I don't know if someone already posted this, but according to this site:
http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr4-no-other-new-camera-from-sony-at-photokina-sr5-new-generation-sensor-and-cameras-release-in-january/

"(SR5) Sony is preparing a BIG event in January! They will release a complete new generation of cameras with a new generation sensor. Cameras have those two features:
1) Very high resolution and dynamic range. One of them is a 46 megapixel FF sensor.
2) Very fast AF speed

I know it’s strange they did not announce those at Photokina. But that it is. I Thank All trusted sources for the info they shared the last couple of weeks. I hope you sources can help me to feed SAR readers with some reliable rumor about the next generation cameras coming in January!

-

A couple of notes: January announcement is 100% correct as it really got confirmed by highly trusted sources. So trust me on this"

I really hope Canon will not lag behind and this new EOS body becomes a fact

Does this mean Canon might be using a Sony sensor in this new rumored camera?

Not unreasonable.

Does anyone know if chipworks, etc has shown that the new Canon G7X is using Sony 1" sensor?

You can get an A7S+Ninja 4k recorder+A7R+metabones adapter for Canon lenses for like $7000. $2000 less.

The "Ninja 4K recorder" is called SHOGUN.

If Sony have the same sensor that's not so bad for Canon as Canon has a more mature ecosystem and design. But if the whole industry is just using the same Sony sensors it's going to be a marginal business and all our photos are going to look more or less alike, as if we were all shooting on the same emulsion.

Some rumors from US and asian visitors: In the near and far next month there will be some new bodies announced. A mid priced competitor to the D810 with an much better AF system and a new sensor (no recycled one with a little bit more MP). Low light noise will be improved.

What about low ISO, high light shadow noise? It's THERE where Canon is miles behind, not at high ISO.

And what about video QUALITY. Canon has fallen way behind there. Look at the A7S, for instance, with a Ninja addition it's much better than even the 1DC for video and less than half the price and without the Ninja it's only $2500 and has better internally recorded 1080p than any Canon DSLR, far better than the new 7D2 for instance.

A Panny GH4 4k downsampled to 1080p also looks much better than any 1080p from Canon (only possible exception is the 5D3 with RAW hack), plus it of course can be left at native 4k (not the world's best 4k, but 4k and not the worst.)

A 46mp Canon would be welcome, but even more so, a 5D4 more in line with the resolution and price of the 810. Shooting commercially I find myself short on resolution often, especially when applying perspective and distortion correction on architectural shots. Canon's got the lenses, which is why I haven't jumped ship.

A thread has popped up on a forum</a> talking about a 46mp pro Canon DSLR being launched in New York City in October for PhotoPlus.

Hah, *now* we know where CR is getting all this hot, confidential information from :->. Shouldn't be a new rating introduced for these kind of sources like [CR0.5] (half the rating for every time quote on quote) or [CR-1] ?

Does this mean Canon might be using a Sony sensor in this new rumored camera?

Maybe.

I find myself short on resolution often (...). Canon's got the lenses, which is why I haven't jumped ship.

Could not agree more.

If 5DIV is also just an incremental adjustment of existing sensor tech my next camera will not be a Canon... Of course worrying a little more now after the 7DII seems to be "just" a 70D sensor rehash.

 

[scyrene]

I'm sceptical it'll happen, but I would like more MP in my next camera. I crop a lot, even at long focal lengths. Extra resolution gives extra reach. Also downsizing to reduce noise and enhance sharpness. Not everyone after more megapixels is a landscape shooter. Even if the image quality remained the same as current bodies (which I think is fine), I'd be very interested.

 

[LetTheRightLensIn]

Oh man, I just looked at the rumor starter's personal website....
suddenly I now rank this a CR -10000000000.

Some rumors from US and asian visitors: In the near and far next month there will be some new bodies announced. A mid priced competitor to the D810 with an much better AF system and a new sensor (no recycled one with a little bit more MP). Low light noise will be improved. And an high end body with superior features and an much higher price than the 1Dx. No details on exact improvements. But it will be an stellar successor to the 1Dx. Two Asians rumored that there will be an separation of the high end line, features like the current 1DX and another body, focussing on IQ.
And that there is an entry FF camera with an extended AF system in development, around 20MP, more AF points... maybe an 6D successor, focused on AF system, as the IQ is very good.
Other brands will release new technology too: Sony will get an big competitor in the next years. They realised that their lens line is a big weakness. New highend Sensors are "in the wild" testing, and will be released soon. Nikon tries to pimp up the D7100.

I would love all those rumors to be true! And I am still awaiting that CANON MF camera (even though there isn't even a single rumor of MF Glass from CANON)...

Nice... I think I played D&D with that guy back in the 80's

Sorry to hurt the fanboys, but Canon is not releasing any DSLRs this year.
But this site runs on rumors so give it a couple of weeks and there will be a new rumor for the next M, Rebel or 1 series in that order.

Sorry to hurt the fanboys, but Canon is not releasing any DSLRs this year.

uh, the 7DII is going to be released in November?

 

[donsullivan]

Sorry to hurt the fanboys, but Canon is not releasing any DSLRs this year.

I'm inclined to agree that there is nothing new shipping this year, given that the 7DII isn't even coming until late November.

As a result, I gave up the vigil last night waiting for a myth and pulled the trigger to order a D810 + 5 lenses. I'll be putting my 5D3/7D +8 L lenses and a pile of other accessories as well as the Sony a7R+ and other associated accessory items up for sale in the coming weeks.

I'm tired of waiting for a never ending cycle of rumor and speculation and choosing to speak with my dollars. I'd rather be out taking the shots I want with a tool that meets my requirements today instead of settling for compromises or workarounds (for my shooting style and subject) with current gear.

I've been ready to upgrade my 5D3 since the spring and took the a7R route as a bridge but that just does not cut it. I typically look to refresh my primary camera body about ever 24 months but Canon no longer has anything that meets my shooting needs.

I'm sure most here don't care but Canon's lack of competitive products cost them a 15 year customer and CPS member this week.

Why should anybody care? Canon don't believe their products are uncompetitive so they are not going to build a camera just for you.

Get the tools/system that best does the job you have to do, for many that is Nikon, for others Sony, Pentax, Canon, Fuji or any one of a number of other manufacturers, it really doesn't matter to anyone, and nor should it..........
