Big Announcements Coming Next Week [CR3]

[Canon Rumors Guy]

<p class="p1">We’re told the embargo/NDA expires on Friday, February 6, 2015 for these upcoming products. These products would line up with the CP+ show in Japan next month.</p>
<ul>
<li class="p1">The two high megapixel cameras, with and without an AA filter. Resolution is said to be 53mp (though the pixel count is not CR3)</li>
<li class="p1">The EOS Rebel T6i/750D.</li>
<li class="p1">EF 11-24 f/4L</li>
<li class="p1">EOS M3 Camera</li>
<li class="p1">Various PowerShot cameras</li>
</ul>
<p>We weren’t given any specifications for any of the cameras, just that they’d be made public at the end of next week.</p>
<p>We don’t know the availability of the cameras, though we had heard March for the big megapixel bodies, which <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2015/01/50mp-cameras-coming-in-march-cr1/" target="_blank">we reported as the announcement date</a>. This could in fact be the availability date.</p>
<p><em>More to come…</em></p>

A dual pixel EOS-M! I hope it is dual-pixel.... That would make it a very nice portable mirrorless camera... and if
it was weather sealed like the Olympus micro 4/3s it would be perfect...

 

[Mt Spokane Photography]

Interesting, but I'm in doubt about my need for a high MP camera. A camera needs to have a attractive set of features before I upgrade.

 

[DominoDude]

Oh yes! Let there be some serious meat on them bones...

 

[Halfrack]

As much as I want to see 35mm FF at a higher pixel density, the technology that goes with it has to be spot on.

I'm not sure a 50MP Canon will shift my lust for the 645Z, but it'll be interesting to see what they have come up with

 

[dolina]

I cannot wait to upgrade my 5D Mark II. ;D

750D is a given, there was even a leaked image awhile back from that Canon media center thing.

11-24mm f/4 would probably not have a bulge like a 14-24mm f/2.8 Nikon.

I wonder if Canon will come out with a APS-C or Full Frame PowerShot to compete with Sony, Leica, Fujifilm, Sigma, Ricoh & Nikon.

Not interested with EOS M system unless Canon comes out with a Speed Booster-like product.

NDA expires on Friday, February 6, 2015 for CP+ happening between Thursday, February 12 to Sunday, February 15, 2015

I am not interested in a 50+ Mp camera. But any news = good news because it means something is going on.

So I guess no more than a year for 5DMkIV (similar Mp, higher DR, less Low and High ISO noise, just hoping... )

Now the new lens is interesting...

 

[LetTheRightLensIn]

Well, we finally find out whether Canon either can or cares to match Exmor and whether to live with a mish-mash of older Canon bodies plus new adapted Sony or go Nikon for some....

Hopefully it's not just the 7D2 sensor made FF size.

And whether Canon is smart enough and willing to change enough to give it a decent fps in a full-reach cropped mode (like Nikon) or will cripple it to static shots only....

And perhaps whether they punt or charge forward for video again or not....

11-24mm f/4 would probably not have a bulge like a 14-24mm f/2.8 Nikon.

The leaked images of what is thought to be the lens shows it has a bulb lens on the front. at 11mm I can't see how it could have a flat frontal lens.

 

[Triggyman]

I'm very much interested for the next Rebel, and the M3.

I need a smaller APS-C camera (Canon System) that's not too pricey but can produce better quality pictures than my SX50.

If the Rebel and M3 are too expensive for its offered features, I can settle for the T5i, which will go down in price.

You see, we have our own reasons to be excited for what others think are not that exciting to them.

 

[jebrady03]

I'm still proceeding under the assumption that the "big megapixel" camera is actually a DPAF sensor where the megapixel count of images will be half that of the number of photosites. So, I'm expecting a 26-ish mp camera. Which would be fine with me, I don't need and truthfully can't handle (processing) over 50 megapixels.

Good point so why make it f/4 then? Making it cheaper than Nikon seeming users will stop it down slower than f/4?

Is the 70D specified as a 40 MP camera?

Yeah I can't imagine they hit 11mm without a bulge unless it take worse picks than literally using a coke bottle.

 

[fotoray]

That's a lot of new and diverse stuff. Something for everybody!

Yes, I'm excited about the new products, but 50 megapixel is not for me, and 11-24mm is not for my bank account. :-\

Just the fact that silence those who grumble the absence of a competitor for D810 already makes me happy. ;D

Um...let's see:

•The two high megapixel cameras, with and without an AA filter. Resolution is said to be 53mp (though the pixel count is not CR3)

•The EOS Rebel T6i/750D.

•EF 11-24 f/4L

•EOS M3 Camera

•Various PowerShot cameras

Is the 70D specified as a 40 MP camera?

No. But the talk prior to it being released was that there was a 40-something mp APSC camera coming. So, I'm just going under the assumption that this talk is exactly the same scenario. Talk of high mp that actually turns out to be high photodiode.

I doubt it. Canon has spent significant dollars developing and producing new leases with pretty spectacular performance (so much so that, on average, the 5D3 out resolves the D800, even though it has 14 million fewer pixels). I have long suspected that they were doing that in part to prepare for a higher-resolution body (rather than doing it in the other order).

 

[brad-man]

I look forward to seeing what Canon brings to the table for the M3. The 70D sensor coupled with better AF and some fast primes would be most welcome. An optional EVF would also be intriguing.
