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

To minimize lens aberrations as well as cost. Still, it will be an expensive lens. 11mm is quite a bit wider than 14mm so more challenging to design and build without a lot of aberrations.

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...

I agree on the desire for weather sealing but since I don't see any on my EOS-M kit lens and am not aware of any on the other M lenses I suspect the die is cast for no sealing on the EOS-M line.

I really wish I could see some CA, coma and distortion figures..on this 11-24 baby......
before I sell my car....ha!

my 14L II is fairly undistorted...plenty of (correctable) CA......love it

but I would like .... a lens that can see behind me.. 11 mm??...yikes if it gives straight lines

I will take it if it passes muster... I will order as it is announced and test myself...if needed

off topic

can any SMALL mirrorless canon.... like coming soon....from canon please....
........use the existing lenses?....for my 5d3.....

thanks for putting up with such a silly question....if someone has info
I just dont know...

Every time I get excited about a replacement for the 5D3, I'm always disappointed by these high-MP rumors.

It's easy to fall into the bigger=better trap, but I don't want to deal with files that are roughly 9000x6000.

And before anyone brings up the mRAW/sRAW debate, it's not a viable option for what I do.

I kind of doubt they would do it either... but if they did, I would be first on the pre-order list... A EOS-M3 would hopefully mean some new lenses were coming..

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...

Yes, the 11-24 mm is very interesting, subject to its sharpness and distortions. At the rumoured price, it would have to be pretty bloody impressive.

What I really hope is that the distinction between the "high resolution" 5Ds and the 5D Mark IV is made much clearer. I'd like to see some sort of product roadmap so we know what the Mark IV really is and when it might be expected. However, I suspect that goes against every instinct of Canon's marketing department.

Even though I'm not interested in 50+ MP myself, it will be fun to see how such a beast performs in the arena! Morituri te salutant!

Don't worry, you can always get a Cray XK7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_XK7) to run photoshop on

History note - The original CRAY-1 supercomputer, launched in 1976, ran at 80Mflops. A cell phone typically runs at 1Gflop... some at 2Gflops or 25 times the speed of a Cray-1

 

[Lee Jay]

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

Guessing not for me.

I'm interested in a dual-pixel (and updated) version of the 5DIII or 6D, and this doesn't sound like it (maybe, though - 5DIV?). I'm not remotely interested in a $3,000 11-24 or an any-price M3 or 750D.

 

[Chaitanya]

excited to see the new Eos XxxD, although wouldnt mind to see announcement of Ef 60mm macro along with it.

 

[bholliman]

I'm interested to see what Canon announces. I shoot a lot of landscape, but don't see myself buying a high megapixel camera. My next camera body will probably be the 5DIV - after its been out long enough for the price to start dropping, so a ways off.

Curious to see what the M3 will be like. Hopefully DPAF and faster AF. I might look at one of those as a 2nd body if the price is reasonable.

 

[Jamesy]

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.

My sentiment exactly.

 

[benperrin]

Can't wait. My bank account isn't going to be happy though. Been waiting for a high mp camera to replace my 5d2. I'm gonna wait to see if the a7r II is worth it though. Hoping that Canon knocks this one out of the park.

 

[tyger11]

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 that's all you're looking for, the current M and M2 already fit the bill, and will be way less expensive than any new M3 would be.

 

[PureClassA]

Jiminy F'ng Crickets, there's a lot of bitching and moaning on here about cameras and lenses that aren't even out yet. Ok, sheesh!! Everyone who shoots landscapes can go to the Sony side of the room!! Wonderful Cameras for DR and resolve. Everyone else go to the Canon side of the room if you prefer vastly superior speed and AF performance for indoor and outdoor sports and wildlife, and a more accurate color palette for portraiture right off the sensor.

Ok done!

Honestly I'd be interested in BOTH a new high res 5 body AND a new 1 series if the 1 series jumps significantly enough over the current model for my needs. I'll wait to see if I even need to cry in my beer AFTER they get announced and reviewed if I don't just preorder them both immediately.

I like Sony. I like Nikon. I'm not going to be a jackass Canon fanboy and crap on the competition.

 

[privatebydesign]

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.
...

Yes, that's the million dollar question, isn't it?

No.

 

[silat shooters]

I'm excited about the news of high meg camera body or bodies. I've always been an early adopter but finances have been tight so will have to sit this one out for awhile which may be a good thing, as I'm sure I'll need to update my computer as well. Truth is the resolution of the 5D Mark III never left me feeling like I need more.

But I would love to see small high quality full frame DSLR that focuses in the arena with the 7D Mark II, NOT the 6D. But once you have used Cross-Type focusing sensors on the thirds, you never want to go back.

 

[HaroldC3]

I won't believe anything about a new M until I see it.

 

[slclick]

Have fun with the new gear guys, I have (I hope) over 100k clicks or more left on my Mk3. Funny thing, I bet it'll still work when the new models come out!

 

[LukasS]

<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">EOS M3 Camera</li>
</ul>

I hope these will have some significant upgrades. Can't wait to replace my 5D and EM-5 hopefully it will be new 5D and new M .
