Re: Canon EOS 1D X Press Release

The 7D shoots 18 MP RAW files at 8 fps with dual Digic 4. If the Digic 5 is indeed 17 times faster and the 1D X has dual Digic 5 plus Digic 4 for metering, why can't it handle RAW at 14 fps? That's not even twice as fast at moving data as the 7D, unless it turns out to be foveon type sensor or something.

It's a good question. To get the 14 fps the press release stated the mirror would stay up but still the sensor is being exposed at 14 fps and converting to jpg is additional processing after the RAW exposure and ADC so why not allow RAW at 14 fps with the mirror up? The answer then could be that data throughput to memory is still the bottleneck?

That is what I was wondering about. Do you need that much power to process 18 MP raw files at 12 FPS and if not, what could the rest of the grunt used for.

Processing the crap out of video. How about non-line-skipping video anyone? Rendered from the full raw image.

Re: Canon EOS 1D X Press Release

Does this seem weird to anyone else? Something doesn't feel right. Is there a possibility this isn't legit? I haven't ever seen a release like this before. I am not familiar with the other sites referenced to know if this is just made up.

Also, the press release didn't mention of how many frames at 12 fps the camera can capture before the buffer is full.

Re: Canon EOS 1D X Press Release

Did the official press release happen yet (still don't see it updated on the USA canon newsroom)? If not, still holding out for a possible lens announcement too!

You should remove that second viewfinder image. It is 51 point nikon AF layout (probably from D700).

I think it comes with a Nikon viewfinder!
Canon 1Dx = Nikon D1x??? ;)

I don't think so. www.canon.com/news/2011/index.html still only shows the "50 million EOS" news release that states the name of 1D X but no specs.

Hmmmm......

Re: Canon EOS 1D X Press Release

The press release DID hit in Japan, but was quickly taken down. That's where the image came from, and the full detailed PDF with all the specs. So it IS official, Canon's just not ready to make it official yet.

Re: Canon EOS 1D X Press Release

Just for anyone that cares before the official press release is out and about, here's the PDF from the Japanese press release; it's where the AF image, GPS/Wireless images came from. Full specs are at the bottom.

This was taken down along with the press release, so it is official, it came from the Nikkei site.

Re: Canon EOS 1D X Press Release

I don't see this so much as a merging of the 1D lines, but as a tombstone of the 1Ds (primarily because of the name jump to 1DX).

And now that this is pretty much official, this is how I see the future Canon lineup:
1DX: FF 18MP, top AF, top FPS, Dual DIGIC V+ Single DIGIC 4
5D3: FF 32MP, decent 45pt AF, 4.5FPS, Dual DIGIC V
6D: FF 18MP, same(-ish) sensor as 1DX, same(-ish) AF as 5D3, same FPS as 5D3, Single DIGIC V
7D2: APS-C Maybe a slight MP bump, slight AF bump, 8-10FPS, Dual DIGIC V

That's what I'm saying.
I think we have a real camera and a wish list that fit nicely but isn't based in much fact. I'm going to bed. Hopefully this will be all sorted out by morning.

Thanks. Love your club photography by the way. The 1DX should really work for you with the improved low-light performance!

Thanks! Yeah, I pretty much use 1600 ISO right now, so even in REALLY dark clubs at f/1.2 and with a moving DJ, it's tough to get something "perfect". So with the extra AF points to select and a bit higher ISO to compensate for shutter speed, it should help a lot :) (not to mention the UDMA 3 on the 1Ds is so slow shooting RAW on a UDMA 6 card!)

At the very least, we have a real camera name. :P

Why is Canon's Japan website calling this the EOS-1V?

You fell for the same thing as when the "d60" was released last year (someone linked to an old canon camera with a similar name)
