• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

    ------------------------------------------------------------

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

I surprised it doesn't beat the low light of my 6d. I guess I'll keep using the 6d for portrait and event and my 70d for birds and both for sports. This doesn't sound like it adds a lot to my current combination. I'm better off spending the money taking the family to a cool spot to take pics.

Looking forward to seeing the actual full specs to see if my glass is half full or half empty!

Really like the idea of crop modes (assuming full RAW) but if the top ISO is only 6400 in crop mode, and how could it not be, that would be a half empty.

At the moment my pennies are still going towards a 5DIV

It doesn't say anything about a battery either, so does this mean we have to plug it into the wall? Damn.... And nothing about a warranty either. I guess Canon gave up on those too along with viewfinders.

Think I'll wait for the official (and complete) spec list before I start bemoaning these cameras ;D

Ha! Well said :)

Incidentally, a lot of people are taking the high ISO level to mean it'll be poorer in low light than the 5D3. At the risk of reopening a massive can of worms, isn't it the sensor size that's important? Like, if you downscale the 50+MP to 22MP, we'd expect it to be no worse, and maybe slightly better?

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

Comes packed with "extra reach" for birders :-P

This is also the first time a Canon DSLR has had an intervalometer.
7D2?

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…

hahaha! You're precious. A whole new thread to talk about new specs and all you can do is pick on me and what I say! Someone is obsessed :) Do you love me yet?

Yeah, these stats are a HUGE letdown. No EF lens compatibility? No aperture priority mode?! I'M OUT! Oh, wait. These aren't the full stats? I guess I'll wait for the full specifications before criticizing it for lacking features it will obviously have.

For me, the decision to buy will all likely hinge on it's noise and DR performance at low ISO's. If it's just an upsized 7DII sensor, forget it...I'll stick with my D800. Don't get me wrong...I like my 7DII for fast-action/wildlife, but for this type of high MP FX camera, sensor performance is THE most important feature.

Good call! Back the old FD manual lenses I suppose.

On the topic "which version to get" that is with or without AA filter, it will depend if you care about pixel peep crispness or real image quality. AA filter is a good idea, sure it will reduce crispness but also take away most false colors and aliasing, and moire. Diffraction won't kill aliasing fully until you're up at f/16, so yes AA filter is the way to go.

But what will happen of course is that people will prefer pixel peep crispness over aliasing, jaggies, moire (because most don't really know about these issues or choose to ignore them) and buy the 5DsR and the next high res camera will only exist without AA filter, that was the case with the D800 and I think the same will happen here.

No it isn't an upscaled 7DII sensor with that MP count. Then again it could be that these stats are wrong, but I assume the source has been quite reliable in the past.

WIFI, ***?

I wonder why the list does not mention wifi or ***. I find it difficult to imagine it will not have wifi at least (especially after Canon said that improved interconnectivity was one of the ways they wanted to regain lost DSLR sales).

As for *** I am less optimistic. Seems almost given to me it will not be built in since *** is missing from the list.

Not a deal breaker for me, but a huge disappointment given how cheap it would be to do and how extremely useful it would be to have...

PS: Anyone else here have *** runners?

That will be your 5D4 I'd bet. But again....this isn't official.
