So it's really APS-C. Nice!

 

[albron00]

little bit more chili sauce.....
canon, you can do it

 

[Haydn1971]

Go on Canon... Loss leader pricing... £300 for body, £400 with 22mm prime ! You can do it !

 

[Haydn1971]

Who will be first to post a piccie of this hooked on the back of a 800mm prime ? Extra kudos for getting on the back of a 1200mm !

 

[DzPhotography]

Seems like I want one 8)

 

[mws]

Any word on pricing? Or the system "roadmap" Canon had mentioned?

why not....

 

[Gothmoth]

i guess they will tell us tomorrow. :

the price.. look at the specs.. i think it will be in the same league, a bit below, a 650D.

 

[steliosk]

as expected
nothing revolutionary

They took
- the same sensor from 7D 60D 600D 650D (same tech anyway) while others have upgraded to 24mpixels with fixed banding issues and dynamic range.
- same proccesor from 650D
- same touch screen from 650D
all combined together..

just another EXPENSIVE gadget toy
no need to buy unless you're a pocket-size maniac

 

[Lee Jay]

So, it's a T4i that's been repackaged and had the following features removed:

EF lens mount
Viewfinder
Tilt-swivel LCD
Control wheel
Flash

A T4i body-only goes for $849. This thing should go for perhaps $300 less given the features that have been removed.

If it were pocket-sized, then it would be interesting.

 

[Chewy734]

I think the system looks pretty intriguing... the main concern is the price. Seeing Canon's prices on new lenses and bodies lately, I wouldn't be surprised if it was pricier than the Nikon 1.

it´s sure cheaper to build then a rebel.
but that does not mean canon could not price it higher.

i only hope canon shows some common sense and does not want a premium for a smaller package.

 

[FunPhotons]

Looks interesting. I wouldn't mind a backup APC-C body, and I don't want or need to shell out for a 7D. With this I get a trimmed down small camera that I can also use as a wildlife shooter with the focal length extending crop factor, assuming it can really handle the longer L lenses.

 

[neuroanatomist]

... I can also use as a wildlife shooter with the focal length extending crop factor, assuming it can really handle the longer L lenses.

I'm sure it can 'handle' them. I'm not at all sure it will focus fast enough to be a good wildlife camera.

 

[simonxu11]

Just hope the phase AF will be faster than the 650D.
The biggest selling point is able to take ef lenses, nothing else better than others.

 

[Gothmoth]

I'm sure it can 'handle' them. I'm not at all sure it will focus fast enough to be a good wildlife camera.

don´t you think the AF will be as good as 5 year old cameras who do wildlife shots pretty well?

and for the handling.. i advice a tripod for longer lenses with a nice wimberley head.

 

[caruser]

If it's reasonably cheap I can see myself getting one with the 22mm and the EF-adapter to fill the gap between phone and DSLR. Otherwise I'll just get the 40mm for the DSLR ;-)

 

[SambalOelek]

don´t you think the AF will be as good as 5 year old cameras who do wildlife shots pretty well?

Are you referring to five year old cameras such as the 1D III or the 40D? If so, my answer would have to be a resounding "heck, no!"
