Canon EOS Rebel 750D Spec List [CR1]

[k-fos]

The big differentiator between 7DII and this new camera will be (beside the AF) the FPS and the size of the buffer. The current Rebel's buffer is speced at 3 raw frames, the reality it is just 2 raw frames. The 7DII buffer is 31 raw. A big difference.

Not quite. I have the T4i and I get 6 RAW shots in my buffer before the fps speed is affected. Still nowhere near the 7DII, but is not 2 RAW frames. Let's be fair.

Sorry, I meant RAW+JPEG, the spec is 3, but mine T4i only does 2 before pausing (does not matter if it is a class 10 or U 1 card). If yours does more let me know.

You are correct, my mistake. I shoot RAW only, so I'm used to a larger buffer. Changing the setting to RAW+JPEG, I get the same results - 2 frame buffer. An upgrade to this would be nice.

As to whether the 750D has the 70D sensor, or some new sensor, or even a sensor from another brand, I guess this is relevant

(Canon) GT: Compared to Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the Hybrid CMOS AF is cheaper. We have plans to use both of those sensors going forward.

I had myself dismissed the 24mp sensor on the basis that I assumed they would trickle the 70D dual pixel sensor down to more models. But perhaps that isn't the case, and Canon do have a new 24mp Hybrid CMOS AF sensor for the 750D.

Keep in mind that pure sensor performance of Nikon D3300 kills the performance of 7DII in some aspects. They need to step up. They need to cannibalise themselves in certain aspects, or somebody else will do that. I believe it´s time for better sensor than the one mounted in 7DII. It was the last cam with this low ISO pathetic performance, and it´s good, because sports shooters don´t need low ISO performance and most resolution as much as other things. I hope Canon will do what they have to do, and at that moment I go and buy their camera. Otherwise I buy nothing. Hope they see it.

What you could question I spose is whether Canon's weakness with DR is really as important with entry level bodies as it is higher up. Is someone who's really interested in landscape photography to the extent they post process extensively going to be buying an entry level DSLR?

I would say if anything is hurting Canon at the moment its probably more than the D5xxx lineup has for awhile had a much more advanced AF system. AF is of course also the advantage the camera will have over mirrorless rivals so maximising that is IMHO more important than improving the DR of the sensor.

Again as well I would remind people that the 1.6 crop of a Canon APSC camera would mean that the current 24 1.5 crop APSC sensors wouldn't have the same resolution. Honestly though my opinion is that this rumour is likely an invented wish list with little to back it up.

Well, they should find and answer this. Not me. If they put better sensor in it, they´ll see that in sales. It will, or will not lure some people to buy that cam. Until now, they did about nothing...

The sensor, the AF, whatever. Canon doesn´t deliver these days...
You´re practically right, but there was period of time when everybody was happy about Canon, and Canon managed to outperform competition with this smaller sensor. While we´re getting closer to real limits of physics, it´s still doable again and I would not be worried about this problem today. And Canon can prolong this situation by delivering cheaper products (can they get more sensors from one wafer?) or they simply lower the price a littlebit to stay competitive. Whatever. Now they´re loosing, and no conscious hobbyist or enthusiast is buying Canon except 7D II for particular reasons. People are not likely to, when they see competition...

If Canon put out a Rebel with the 20 MP 70D/7D II sensor and the old 7D AF plus improve the handling adding a top plate LCD I think that will be more than adequate.

I actually think the key selling point people overlook for the Rebels is the lens lineup. Canon now has an optically excellent kit zoom that can use a polariser, it also has the 10-18mm at $300, the 55-250mm at $250 and the old 50mm 1.8 at $120.

I may be completely wrong here but did anybody else make the connection with this 24mp sensor and the initially reported 24mp sensor of the 7d II?

... no conscious hobbyist or enthusiast is buying Canon except 7D II for particular reasons.

I realize that amazon's figures are short-sighted, but lacking anything else it works in a pinch to determine whether anyone is buying Canon's other than the 7D2.

The answer is: yes. People are buying the T3i, T5, 70D, T5i, 6D, T3, 5D3, and the 60D, and currently more often than the 7D2. Canon may not be dominating the market like they did when they had the only CMOS game in town, but they certainly aren't losing.

Yes. I wrote enthusiasts and hobbyists. There are many other people, not even stupid, who still buy it. He who has time and knows, is waiting....

I presume that the overwhelming majority of DSLR customers of all brands are hobbyists.

Is it possible canon will release a camera with a little extra shadow detail at base ISO? Possibly. If so, and if it's compelling and meets the value analysis, I'll buy one. There is very little I could do with a D810-type of camera from Canon that I can't do with my 5Ds, so why should I wait? (I own an A7R, but it rarely leaves the closet).

I'll be eager to see how this new Rebel compares to the 70D. I've been thinking of picking up a Rebel or 70D but wanted to wait until the 2015 refresh came out to see how the price and features compared. I haven't been in the hobby for a bit so I don't need something with a bunch of bells and whistles, but want something decent enough that I don't outgrow it too quick once I shake the rust off. I have an old EOS 3 and A2E that have been gathering dust for several years, so I am eager to start shooting again
