No A Canon user for 25+ Years, just a very Pizzed off one that this company will not listen to its customers.
I have stuck with them against all my senses, but the choice is no longer an option, I have yo either move to working equipment or retire for press work.
Canon are unable to make what nikon can offer and have been unable to do so for a number of years.
Shooting static well lit objects is easy on any camera, but once the light goes and they start moving you have to accept the Nikon users are going to spank your gear and spank it hard.
My rant is I can no longer wait for them to get their bloody act together and the Rumours of yet even more spreading out of working features over other models has angered me no end.

This time Next Month after at least 25+ years, I will be switching, I held on, foolishly hoping and hoping they would get the act together then out comes the 1dx which to be honest is not even as good as the mkiv on working ISO j-peg output.
To hear they are getting sony technology but are going to drip feed and divide it slowly is the last straw.
If that Makes me a Nikon forum troll, so be it.

Yours one fed up Canon waiting tog.

Wouldn't it be wise to wait and see what Canon actually announces before you get worked up?

This is pointless. Just move on.

Figure this, at 50mp, will it be the equal of a Hasselblad? No way. Pixel size does matter. Larger ones are typically better, but when you are constrained by 35mm format, fitting more means making them smaller. Increases in resolution comes at the cost of smaller pixels. Thus, smaller pixels will have to become more efficient and accurate. The rumored 6400 ISO is an indication that efficiency wasn't increased much at all - they're just putting out high mega pixel count.

K, I agree with most of your comments. This one, I'm not so sure. If the smaller pixels were the reason for the ISO 6400 limit, would we not see the same limit on the 7DII? I believe the pixels are about the same size, yet the 7DII goes to ISO 16,000. In addition, it has been reported that the quantum efficiency of the 7DII is higher than that of earlier Canon sensors, including full frame.

I would think the biggest differences/advantages of medium format are:

1. Shallower depth of field.
2. Larger sensor = more light.

Anyway, food for thought...

I thought the limiting factor in this case was the heavier CFA design. Get more color depth, sacrifice sensitivity?

Yes, sharper cut-offs on the color filters means less light reaches each collector. Better color purity, but lower sensitivity. The interesting question is "how much noise at 6400 ISO". Will it be equivalent to noise at much higher ISO without the new CFA design?

Will it be equivalent to noise at much higher ISO without the new CFA design?

Then they could have set the lowest native ISO to lets say 50. I.e. just shift the whole sensitivity range.

You ever processed D700 images? ISO 200 on the D700 looks like ISO 800 on a 5Dc.

I've processed a lot of Nikon images and I've never been impressed. The 7D Mark II beats the D7100 at all ISOs above 200.

how do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you can't even write in english?

 

[saveyourmoment]

and let us hope for USB 3.0. 50MP tethering without USB 3.0 and Canon would lose my attention... can't wait to see the performance for my jewelry photography... especially colors and dynamic Range in low ISO...

 

[scyrene]

I for one am kind of excited to see what the new cameras bring. I'll hold my complaints until I see real world photos and confirmed specs. 50MP sure seems like Overkill for me, but so did 15MP when I bought my first digital SLR (T1i).

Lots of great cameras out there. Should be interesting to see where Canon goes. I've been debating about going FF for a while. More choices is always good.

Thanks for the coverage.

I remember upgrading to an 8Mpixel camera and thinking "WOW! This is great!!!!" We live in great times for digital imaging.

This reminds me rather of when I went from the 300D to 50D. It was more cost effective to increase the number of pixels than go for a longer lens (cropping for birds being the main motivation). And again here. More than doubling the pixel count increases my reach - even if you get diminishing returns for every extra MP. I'm quite excited

 

[canonic]

For me is a winner if ... there is more DR as "Canon-normal" and no pattern noise. I expect at least 1 Stop more DR before i make my decision. If this should be a landscape camera, there is no problem with that, isnt ist?
And for a studio camera i would expected at least 1/250 Syncro time.
Otherwise, as i said, is a winner.

But we are taking serious a rumor from a japanese website, right?! There are more languages out there in the world, not only english

 

[Creative69]

So I'm in front of my eizo looking at my 5dmk3 photos from last nights engagement party, and I'm smiling at my 2000 iso photos, and thinking maybe there are a lot of users out there that really have no clue as to how to get the best out of their equipment! I mean can I be that good or maybe my mk3 is really a Nikon in disguise? So I conclude this if this is what I can achieve now please hurry the new range to my hands Santa Canon.

Can someone please explain the advantage of no low pass filter? Thanks!

 

[PureClassA]

Regarding the updated specs this morning:

Looks like Sync Speed tops out at 1/200 of a second. UGH. For a studio camera I was hoping for at least 250. Crap, my 6D does 180. Wonder what kept them from having a higher sync speed on here. Thoughts anyone?

More sharpness but moire (or more moire).

 

[PureClassA]

Anti Aliasing filter removed from sensor die. Allows for more fine detail to be resolved, but run increased risk of picking up things like moire in fine patterns. However a 50MP sensor itself may mitigate much of that problem due to high resolution. Find out soon enough

Gives you more false detail, jaggies, moire, and color artifacts, but makes people feel good who can't tell the difference between false detail and actual detail.

There is no upgrade here. Same as the older 5D-s.

I get that part, I'm just wondering why. I would think on a S = Studio camera, they would try and step up the sync speed or what the technological limitation is. the 1dx does 250 I believe, granted a better shutter...

And probable more expensiv as the 5D with low pass filter
Lee Jay, i admite "false details", relating to no low pass filter, is new for me. Can you explain?
