ok...so the press release isn't clear...

Can you use Auto Focus for video ONLY if you use an STM lens?

Does that mean my $1200 24-105 L lens is no good for video?

Yes it will work with all ef and efs lens only the stm will be smooth and quiet.
Has any one confirmed if 3x crop mode is an included in specs.

Can somebody clarify if the new "Hybrid CMOS" AF is in fact a combination of PDAF and CDAF like the Nikon 1 sensor or something different?

Yes pdaf for broad traking in a center cross pattern and cdaf for fine tuning.

The 1DX has been delayed so this video feature can be added

I'm going to hold out for the 40mm pancake f/2.8 L.

I might hold out for a 40mm pancake f/2.0 or faster, because between the 24-70, 35L and 50 II there really isn't a place in my bag for a slow prime in that range. Wait, there's always be space for this lens ;-)

Thank you.

Now a better question is how those pixels would show up in the RAW files ... or rather, how they won't show up.

While it seems that Canon is finally going video and distinguishing their cameras from Nikon not by senror iq, but good af I cannot imagine the pixels will affect raw files in any way. They'll do the same thing - whatever that is - they're doing in their built-in jpeg converter in updated software raw converters, much like the htp feature.

35% more expensive than the Nikon D3200 ($950 vs $700)

Does anybody know how they compare?
(of course the D3200 will win IQ-wise, I'm mostly asking about AF, OVF, etc)

Hmm... On chip phase detect AF, new STM motors -could make a future Canon mirrorless camera very interesting...

Here's a small introduction video from Canon Europe:

Bottom line: IQ and ISO in RAW will be the same as T2i\T3i.

Yup. I can't believe my more than 2-year-old T2i will basically have the same RAW IQ as the latest and greatest Canon crop body offering, which is $849 body only. It's rather sad.

Some guy was telling that 650d would have a pentaprism. Too good to be true I guess :-\
And no digic5+, just digic5 (I don't know the difference, just telling).

Nevertheless, I find 5fps and xxd af system to be nice improvements (for Canon). Maybe this is the one that will take the place of my old rebel when it dies. It perfectly suits my photographic needs. Smallest possible body, decent fps for trackdays and decent af.
Problem is that I'm not willing to pay more than 600 euros for it

Is it just me, or is the 40mm pancake the only thing of interest in this whole press release?

No, there are probably many other 5D MkIII owners thinking the same! ;D

I guess the 650D is a minority interest on this forum. I guess the 650D will hit the 60D sales, so a 70D must be close.

This will mean the 70d will be around £1500 in UK I think, i was assuming it would be slightly more expensive than the original 60d price. I'm really quite disgusted with canon. While Nikon seem to be reducing/keeping their prices relatively low, canon have had a massive price hike. I wouldnt buy it anyway but 650d is £800 with lens, thats far too expensive for a beginner SLR. Furthermore, the 40mm pancake ($199) in USA is £229 in UK (about $353). I really don't understand Canon's mindset

minority or not, I am one of them

finally an interesting rebel (especially after the 550d-600d minor upgrade)! I also think 70d will be here soon.

and where is the integrated wifi and the 640*480@120fps?
and why the video af does not work with USM?

As the 7D is about £1000 then the 70D will come be about that (street) price within a year. The 650D body is £799 from WEX - at launch so this can be expected to drop to £699 quite quickly.

The black and yellow D7000 in comparison is about £900 at todays street price.

Well this looks like a cracking little camera to me, not enough to tempt me to upgrade from a 500D as I want to go FF but actually that spec in a FF (5D2 sensor) would be my happy as a pig in poo camera
