EOS 55D 16.1 MP !!!

[DD]

I saw one ad in July edition of Better Photography magazine, where among other EOS models Canon EOS 55D was also listed as "NEW" with 16.1 MP.

50D was also listed in that page with 15.1 MP, but without "NEW" tag.

Go back and take a picture/scan of it!!
Sounds interesting.
Articulating screen? ???

16.1MP sensor maybe same as D90 replacement?! LoooooL! wouldn't THAT be funny! hahaha!

Please provide evidence, or this post is getting cut off. Sorry, but this sounds extremely unreasonable.

Perhaps a typo? (or 2 of them?) If you search for "Canon 55D" you find a lot of people meaning the 550D.

 

[DD]

Its not a typo. 550D is not 16 MP. Unfortunately I dont have the magazine with me, as I saw it in one of my friends house. If someone is having that in this forum may be can post the picture. I will also try to get the magazine if possible.

what the hell is a 55d? Is it the equivalent to the 60d or the 550d (t2i)?

 

[DD]

The ad looked like 55D is going to be the successor of 50D.

Huh, what is the name of this magazine?

 

[Grendel]

Says it right in the 1st post -- "Better Photography magazine"

Im sparking conversation!! haha, thanks... Im looking into it. Because tbh, if this was real, we would easily be able to find it.

 

[that1guy]

So...did we find out anything on this yet?

Maybe this is new semi-pro aps-h cam. With the same form factor of d90, that would rain all over d95. I would still be hesitant for the lack of an ultra-wide personally, which I like.
