Seems likely to be, filter all the AF systems downwards on crop and introduce a new one for the 7D mk2.

 

[Loswr]

Finally, a touchscreen. Now, all those naysayers can rest easy.

 

[RLPhoto]

Yay! No More Megapixels ;D

 

[DB]

Presumably they've primarily gone for a video upgrade. Still only 9 AF points (albeit 8 more cross-type) and same or similar sensor. Wonder if it will have headphone monitoring + manual audio controls?

 

[Drizzt321]

If this does have full time auto-focus in video mode, they better push that upwards with a firmware update. The only reason I could think they wouldn't is CPU requirements, cause it's probably not a hardware one.

 

[pittguy578]

Is it a new sensor? I know it's the same MP. I thought video AF was a hardware issue. I didn't think they could just basically modify the T3i with new firmware to make AF possible .

My guess not its the same sensor with the new one left to the 70D/7D and filtered down in the 700D next year.

 

[Turbocharged]

my 5D3 doesnt have continuous af in video and now a rebel has it?

i really needed it ...

 

[cnardo]

has anyone seen the Amazon release scheduled for today 5/17 in FRANCE regarding the Rebel T4i ???

 

[DzPhotography]

so out with the swivel LCD and in with the touch screen? replacing one gimmick by another

 

[Astro]

BOOOOOOORRRRRRIIIIINNNNNG.

im not very tempted to update my second body, a 550D, to this.
i would like to have a new crop body.. but i guess it´s the old sensor and i don´t need video enhancements.

...
18mp (no word on whether or not its a new or modified 18mp sensor
...

 

[mitchell3417]

The autofocus is going to be 10 times more usable. sounds like a great camera and a perfect backup for a 7d.

That is certainly the question of the day in my mind ... or will audio control stop at 7D mkII or, heaven forbid, 5D mkIII :-\?

 

[unfocused]

My takeaway: Nothing in this announcement to indicate Canon is diverging from their traditional development path. Add a few bells and whistles to the newest Rebel model to be able to call it new and attract buyers who want the latest version. Save the major changes for the 7DII and then let selected improvements trickle down for another 2-3 years.

so out with the swivel LCD and in with the touch screen?...

Are the two incompatible? Why does touch screen mean no swivel LCD?

I'll be interested to see how the touch screen works. My biggest concern will be accidentally changing settings, but the click wheel navigation system is also prone to the same problem. After years of iPhones and tablets, I'm hoping the technology is mature enough to work intuitively on a camera. I wonder if they will let it trickle up to the 7DII and 5DIV.

Yay! No More Megapixels ;D

Sony is keeping a 16 mp sensor in their new Nex-F3 and A37. Perhaps both have determined that the marketing benefit of ever-higher megapixels has reached the point of diminishing returns.

 

[preppyak]

Are the two incompatible? Why does touch screen mean no swivel LCD?

My XA-10's at work are a swivel screen that is entirely touch screen, so not only are they compatible, Canon already has the technology for it in a consumer level package. I imagine their Vixia stuff has it too

Sony is keeping a 16 mp sensor in their new Nex-F3 and A37. Perhaps both have determined that the marketing benefit of ever-higher megapixels has reached the point of diminishing returns.

Probably, especially because at the pixel density, its the equivalent of a pretty high MP body on full-frame. They'd lose too much low-light ability if they went to 22, 24, etc, and wouldn't really be gaining much. It's probably only Sony's sensor tech that allows them to last at 24mp.

The autofocus is going to be 10 times more usable. sounds like a great camera and a perfect backup for a 7d.

And you know this how? Every SLR with "autofocus" that I've seen is a joke...manual focus is much better there. Heck, even the Sony SLT auto-focus isn't that great, and it has some major advantages in that regard over a DSLR.

 

[dstppy]

Finally, a touchscreen. Now, all those naysayers can rest easy.

Yep. Let's hope it drops calls as well as the other cameras out there too.

I knew VZN was limiting their bandwidth for a reason!

No more manual focus on video???? I'm interested

 

[gene_can_sing]

Probably going to pick up a Rebel as a cheap video B-Cam to my soon-to-be Sony FS since I have too many canon lenses.

I just hope that the Rebel actually has true HD (not the soft up-res'd stuff). That and 1080p 60fps slow motion is all I ask for. But since the 5D3 doesn't have either of those, I'm not holding my breath.
