Canon EOS RS Specifications? [CR1]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Most of these specs are so farcical, I would rate it CR(-10). I could believe 45MP in a non Rs model, and the IBIS, but the rest is pure la la land.

I'm a bit confused currently regarding the 1DX III. According to the spec on the German Canon page and DPReview the 1DX shoots at 5496*2904 at 60 FPS in RAW video!? I had thought it was only 30p, or am I missing something?
The rumored specs for this body are 8K raw at 30 FPS, where I assume 8K just means roughly 16 times as much as FHD (just as 4K usually means UHD and that's 4 times as much resolution as FHD) So, doing the math:
5496*2904*60 / (16*1920*1080*30) = 0.96
The actual throughput would be almost the same as the 1DX III currently handles. In that regard, the other numbers don't seem all that crazy. And the 1DX III isn't really crippled, it just can't do higher resolutions because the sensor is only 20MP. Mind you, this is based on my impression that the 1DX IIi does 5.4K 60p RAW video.
I would assume the 14/20 FPS means 14 in FF mode, 20 in crop mode. Why would it refer to viewfinder and LiveView - those are virtually the same in a mirrorless body. And that's absolutely realistic, as 14*45 = 630, which is 38% more more than the 14*32.5 of the low cost M6 II can do with an older processor and smaller body (worse for dissipating heat).
20 FPS at FF resolution seems to much, unless that's reduced Bitrate and no AF, like the 8K video option would be. But who would want that?
II get the impression that Canon is working on a ton of bodies that are all fairly modular and which configurations are the ones we'll actually see released could be quite different from the rumors. In any case 8'm surprised about the resolution, as previously we heard THAT Canon wants to regain the high MP crown and had talk of 73 and 82 MP sensors... Fun times ahead!

As someone has said, sometimes you have to read CR for the humorFor the first time on CR I totally skipped all the comments. The powers that be sure like to get us all revved up so that we can natter and complain for weeks afterwards when it's not even close to being factual! I refuse to be drawn into this.

Hi,
Why does power consumption when you don't shoot bursts have to be so closely correlated with maximum burst speed?
How would you estimate the battery life of a hypthetical 84 MP 1 fps camera?
best regards,
Anders

Their source say the sensor will have even lower res than 45Mpix?According to Mirrorless Rumors, their source claims these specs are ‘nearly completely wrong’. Make of that what you will.
UPDATE: Canon EOS-R5 and R6 rumors are correct - mirrorlessrumors
CR posted these rumored Canon RS specs: 45mp (One source said 40mp) IBIS 5 stops with IBIS alone 7-8 stops of correction when used with in-lens stabilization 14fps / 20fps (One source said 12fps / 20fps) Scroll wheel added to the back No touchbar Liveview/Movie toggle like previous EOS DSLRs...www.mirrorlessrumors.com

The 1DxII's dual processor from Canon is capable of circa 350mb/s, so that equates to 45mp @ 7.5 fps or there abouts. However, Canon have been developing a newer Dual processor that's 1.5x more powerful. That chip could theoretically handle circa 525mb/s. That could easily yield 45mp @ 11.5 fps.
BUT there's a bigger question of Canon putting such and expensive chip into a mid tier camera body and eclipsing their new 1DxIII.
The Eos Rs is going to be a 2nd tier pro camera (in a similar vein to the the 5DSR) and as such it's not going to upstage their 1Dx range.
From a guess, i would say that 42-45mp is likely. 7-8 fps is likely too. In fact these specs could easily translate over to a 5D4 spec too. A good candidate for a dual release EF and Rf versions of a similar camera body.

For starters, the Samsung S20 being able to record 8K is a rumor. Then there's the smaller the sensor, the easier it is to read it quickly. Finally, it might have shallower color depth and/or have chroma sub sampling.

Seems unlikely, especially in a FF camera. Olympus did say they believed the earth's rotation limited IBIS to 6.5 stops. That was based on the way they did the gyroscope design, and they got 6.5 stops with hybrid IBIS/OIS in the OM-D E-M1 Mark II. But they redesigned the gyros for the E-M1 X and rated that to 7.5 stops with hybrid. No one has matched that in FF, so it seems unlikely Canon would first shot. Then again, they literally had every competitor's camera to take apart and study, and they're probably all happy to license patents for actual money these days. So who knows.
It is very difficult to move back to a non-IBIS camera once you have adapted to it. Canon needs this, for stills and video.

According to the white paper,
5.5K RAW video format (5472 x 2886) having the cinema-centric aspect ratio of 17:9. records also at 60 (59.94) fps.

I'm sure it's already been said a million times in here, but this spec sheet doesn't smell right. 8K recording? I've heard the 5.5k from the 1Dx III was demanding enough to edit, but 8k? That must chew up memory cards in moments.
Also, last year Canon showed off 8k footage for the first time, and I really struggle to imagine them deciding that the first commercial implementation would be a mirrorless stills camera. Also, last year Apple showed off the ability of their Mac pro to edit 8k footage, and they were using an unnamed Canon camera to capture that footage - so I'd bet 8k is coming, but it'll be in a cinema camera surely before a stills oriented camera. Also, I believe that was the computer which was customizable up and over like $50k, so again I really struggle to see 8k video having a place for the average user.

Particularly when you consider that often times you don't want to be too close to an animal. We want to photograph, not disturb. Or for sports, you can only shoot from certain areas, it's not like you can be in the middle of a play on the field.

You know, it's funny, with all the hype around video specs on the last few releases...I don't think what photographers are asking for is too outlandish. Yet Canon hasn't seemed to particularly listen to that.

Maybe those sources are talking about the EOS RP- camera, not about EOS R5?UPDATE: Canon EOS-R5 and R6 rumors are correct - mirrorlessrumors

"I asked to my long time Canon sources and they said those specs are nearly completely wrong. They cannot tell me the real specs because they don’t want to get busted. All they can say is that it’s simply offThe sensor for example will have a lower resolution than mentioned in this spec list. And there will be no 8K recording! "
