Nice way to muddy up the nomenclature. If true, stupid Canon.

And yes, I mean that.

 

[Chaitanya]

I just hope stupid Canon inplements Uhs-2 Sd slot and adds 4k video. That would be more than enough to upgrade from older cameras.

 

[Orangutan]

Er...what???!!!

This makes no sense unless "replaced" means something other than what it should mean.

 

[Loswr]

Then again, in the US it will make a Rebel seem close to an 80D, and sound like a 7D. So maybe smart Canon.

Say Whaaaa!?
Neuro, I was drinking coffee when I read that. You almost killed me and destroyed my laptop.

Actually, nice to know you can say it when it actually applies

Surely a typo. 770D, right?

- A

 

[benkam]

Sure this isn't a "770D"? Would make more sense as the T6s is the 760D in other parts of the world. They'd then call it the T7s in the US.

Still not expecting 4K for a Rebel -- a "90D" or 7D3 would probably get it first -- but if the main upgrade is dual pixel AF, that would still be great at its price point.

That would make more sense.

 

[Sharlin]

Maybe "810D" would be too confusing with Nikon's D810 still being marketed? The rebranding sounds like the "77D" might be more differentiated from the 800D/T7i feature-wise than the 760D is from the 750D? On the other hand there's just not that much to differentiate before getting to the domain of the 80D... DPAF is probably something the 77D is going to get but the Rebel won't.

On the other hand, this might just be Canon moving the demarcation line back to where it was - only xxDs and xDs get rear wheels and shoulder LCDs, Rebels don't.

I don't think "770D" makes sense - what would the 750D (T6i) replacement be named then?

I can record 4k on the SD slot on the 5D Mark IV. So why is a UHS-II slot needed on a rebel?

Yes, however the 4K implementation on the 5D4 is not compressed at all and aimed at professional usage. Highly doubt that same feature/implementation would be offered in a Rebel series. IF they offered 4K in a Rebel, it would likely be compressed in some form other than MJPEG. If they do this, then maybe it's a sign of Canon finally waking up and not handcuffing their video features?

 

[Maiaibing]

"77" is telling us it will have dual pixel tech... 8)

 

[Maximilian]

What's in a name?

Gimme specs!
Gimme features!
Gimme a price, so one can say thumbs up or down.

What wrong with natural progression of using the faster interface when its available? Also faster cards surely will help taking shallow buffer out of equation for these cameras.

 

[Daan Stam]

77d? what the hell canon? well i wasn't expecting that...

 

[jebrady03]

Nothing wrong with that at all. Except increased cost for the consumer both in the purchase of the camera, and the cards. If previous generation tech can get the job done, why increase the cost unnecessarily? Also, Rebel's aren't known for having a deep buffer. The 5D Mark IV has 7 FPS and can do around 15-20 RAW files to the SD card (depending on the card used). A Rebel would likely have 5 FPS and thus, many more RAW files in a much longer burst to the SD card with a UHS-I slot. So again I ask, why increase the cost unnecessarily?

Yes, however the 4K implementation on the 5D4 is not compressed at all and aimed at professional usage. Highly doubt that same feature/implementation would be offered in a Rebel series. IF they offered 4K in a Rebel, it would likely be compressed in some form other than MJPEG. If they do this, then maybe it's a sign of Canon finally waking up and not handcuffing their video features?

Right! If a compressed 4K is used, the UHS-I slot is even less stressed by recording 4K, right? So UHS-I is perfectly suitable.

 

[EduPortas]

A nod to Sony's A77?

Interesting and funny. While I find Canon products names often quite "childish" [think of Elph, Rebel, Kiss, Powershot ... etc.] and their product numbering schemes often illogical and unpractical, I would not call them stupid for it, since in the end it is utterly irrelevant what moniker appears in marketing texts or on product labels.

When I call Canon stupid it is related to some of their products functionality or features and more often for the blatant lack of certain products or entire product categories [namely FF-sensored MILC system].

But to each his own. Form ... or function.

Still no words on Canon 200-600mm. Waiting!!!!
