180/s flash sync.. and i thought the D600 is bad. ::)

11 AF points... :-\

slower then the D600 with even less data to transfer (20 MP vs. 24 MP).

and why would they produce another FF sensors... imo that makes no sense from a business standpoint.

if this is true the camera is a big dissapointment....

i really hope this is bulsh*t....

Why would it take SD when the 7D takes CF!? Seems a bit of an interesting choice...

Doesn't sound very promising IMO. Weather sealed, but 11 point AF so a new system there too along with a new sensor...

I think this one is a fake.

I expect the 7D/5DMKII homologation. Makes more sense, with the parts bin, and more value for the photographers.

Built-in GPS makes me highly suspicious - not when Canon has a $220 add-on they can sell, they aren't going to build that into a cheaper camera - same with WIFI really. I think this is highly suspect. And if we do hear about something at Photokina, and I am leaning toward not, I don't think it will be ready to ship anytime soon.

mhm..... bit for bit the D600 seems like the better deal.. not?

first time i hear they will use a new 20MP FF sensor.

not the 7D AF? some kind of rebel AF?

to be honest i think this is 100% pure nonsense.

I guess new sensor basically means the hybrid cmos sensor.
the Digicame-info also mentioned this:
シャッター速度は30-1/4000秒、シンクロ1/180秒、シャッターの耐久性は10万回
Minimum to Maximum shutter speed: 30-1/4000 sec
flash sync: 1/180
shutter life: 10,0000

AF is not even on par with 7D, Canon really know how to cripple
Build in wifi and GPS is nice :D

I'd be more interested in a firmer date than firm specs at this point, considering we'd know how reliable the spec lists are.

Honestly, I hope they include a pop-up flash like the 7D as well, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

They couldn't (well, wouldn't) make a xD series that's smaller than the 7D.

I'm not going to get too lathered up about any specs either until CR gives it a CR2 or CR3. I highly doubt SD will happen since the 7D uses CF like the 5D . . . I think an articulating screen (which I like because I can protect the screen AND turn it off by manually flipping it inside) is as likely if SD makes it into the camera.

I'm gonna call this myth busted :D

Weather-sealed, but smaller Rebel-sized body?

Slower SD and not CF memory card? Only 1 memory card slot?

Lower maximum shutter speed of just 1/4000th second

Shutter mechanism lifespan 100,000 cycles (one-third lower than 7D)

Thanks, but no thanks! I'll keep my 7D and wait to upgrade to a 5D

It's just a rumor ( I hope )

First of all sd card! when all pro and prosumer canons use cf, similar AF to the MKII and new sensor with less mp than the MKII, this sounds like a step back and it would be doubtful canon would release a camera like this. My guess is the spec is from a prototype that was being used to test and the final camera is yet to be finalized.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this would make this a 5DII in a Rebel body with Wifi for pretty much the same price, right? Why would I want that?
For 12 or 13 hundred I could see people jumping on this who couldn't or wouldn't afford the now reduced Mark II. But for the same money?
