Bingo! New Canon 5Ds has 50.6 MP new rumored specs

[RickWagoner]

So a 30MP 1.3x mode and a 20MP 1.6x mode.

Comes packed with "extra reach" for birders

This is also the first time a Canon DSLR has had an intervalometer.

Don't forget most Nikon full Frames will do higher FPS in Crop mode, maybe this one will do faster also.

7D2?

Yes, the 7DII has an intervalometer. Once again, dilbert has managed to demonstrate his lack of technical knowledge.

+1 People buying hi-megapixal bodies would primarily be using them for landscape or product photography, where they will normally be shooting on a tripod at the lowest possible ISO.

Why on earth do you expect that?

The leaked camera specs points to a far more flexible camera body than the current 5DIII which is used for a very wide range of situations only being hampered by its relatively low fps.

So just as the D810 is being used for everything - including sports, wildlife, macro, astro, fashion etc. etc. - so we should expect this camera will used by all photographers that want to be able to do more with their camera. Especially, if the new Canon gains fps just as the Nikon D810 does when shooting in crop mode (up to 7 fps) allowing it to excel at action and sports. Here I hope for 8-10 fps in crop mode (time will tell).

I was gonna say...

Was never interested in the 7D2 so I've not looked at its spec list.

Then perhaps you should avoid making blanket statements like that out of ignorance…

calm down children
better get excited!
good news after years of waiting
thanx CANON

That explains why you were incorrect, but if your attitude is 'I make statements even knowing there are huge gaps in my knowledge', no wonder your pronouncements are so often at odds with other people's.

I have to say I look forward to more megapixels for extra cropping of wildlife shots, although I don't know how tiny a minority I'm in.

 

[adhocphotographer]

Hmmmm... 5 fps... I do a lot of wildlife as well as everything else... 5fps is not quite there.... 6 is ok...

You should expect to be able to shot 30 mpix @8 fps and 20 mpix @ 10 fps using the crop modes. This is what they are made for.

SOLD! hmmmm better start sweet talking my wife!

 

[NorbR]

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the 5 fps, I was expecting even lower with the 50MP (although now that I do the math, it is pretty much the same data transfer rate as the 1DX @14fps). If the fps do indeed get faster in crop mode, I'll be pretty happy with it.

Now waiting for the price ...

 

[adhocphotographer]

Ok... not quite sold... if it has nice low light capabilities, at least marginally better than the 5DIII, then i'm sold!

 

[lintoni]

Ok... not quite sold... if it has nice low light capabilities, at least marginally better than the 5DIII, then i'm sold!

Seems unlikely, given the ISO 6400 rating...

come on 5D MK IV then! :
Sept?

 

[AE-1Burnham]

Cool.

Come on Canon, now let's hear something about a 1-series "S" body..?

 

[dolina]

Iso 6.400...

 

[romanr74]

i cannot work like that: when already i have to live with a lousy 50mp, then i need at least a 15fps burst rate with 409'600 iso. built in flash? swivel-screen? face-recognition? children birthday mode? white paint? hellooooooooooo!!!???

 

[Deva]

I see there will be a "normal" 5D MK4 too.

Let´s hope it´s a 28-30MP camera with more FPS and increased DR and low ISO performance.
That´s what i really was hoping for.

Sorry, I missed this - where do see the "normal" 5D Mk4?

 

[Helios68]

ISO 100-6400
5 fps

Hi,

I must say that these specs are quite disapointing to me. After the nice featured 7D mkII I was expecting a higher end full frame. But let's see what it can do.

Regards

 

[Quackator]

Hmpf.... no radio flash controller, no Wifi, no global shutter,
no multilayer RGB imager - and a downgrade in high ISO
performance as well.

Not quite what I was hoping for. Not at all.

 

[moreorless]

It could I spose be that ISO 6400 is the maximum "non boost" value, Canon do often differentiate between that and the actual maximum.

Honestly as a high resolution body though I think you could argue that the most important unknown would be whether it offers a native ISO 50 with superior noise/DR performance.

Price will likely be key as well given that the current 5D sells for about the same as the D810 you would expect it will be significantly higher. Honestly I think its tricky to tell just how price sensitive this market is, the really high cost double grip bodies like the D3x and 1Ds mk3 didn't do very well but you could argue that Canon do have lenses like the 17/24mm TS-E's, the 24-70mm F/2.8, the 85mm 1.2 , the MP-E 65mm and the new 11-24mm F/4 that target a high end resolution market and aren't cheap themselves

Could start a rumor about a 1DsIV
