New DSLR Series Coming in 2018? [CR1]

[snoke]

1DXs? Cost? $9000. Like 1Ds.

If in 2018 Nikon have FF mirrorless like D5, what Canon answer?

If Nikon FF mirrorless do 20+fps for sports, Canon?

Canon run out of names. 10D... 77D, 80D, 90D... after 90D? Cannot be 100D.

What would be soooo cool would be a hybrid DSLR / Mirrorless camera.

So, in this case, it's less a mirrorless camera than it is an SLR that you can choose to flip the mirror up and pipe EVF (LiveView) content to the same eyepiece somehow?

I'm not saying that will happen, but I'd certainly find it useful:

• Top of the list: I'd be able to use manual focus lenses for jobs other than tripod landscapes and macro. I could magnify and/or focus peak some nice Zeiss glass while still holding the body comfortably/stably up to my eye.
  
  
• We could amplify light in dark rooms (again, held up to one's eye and not held 6-12" away like it were iPad photography)
  
  
• By relying on DPAF in the EVF mode, we'd unlock a ton more spread / real estate that the AF could cover.
  

I'm not sure Canon is going to go this route, however -- it's presently not where the market is. To my knowledge, only the (rangefinder-like) Fuji X-Pro line does this, and it's hardly their most popular rig. Most everyone else is all-in on just an EVF as it eliminates the mirror and lets you offer a thinner body. Canon will likely do the same.

I realize this isn't "where the market is" today but it would be an awesome capability - if such a device could be built at reasonable cost I can't help thinking that it would actually define, create and build a whole new market. Who would prefer a "regular" DSLR to one which can flip the mirror and make full use of a ton of features not possible otherwise. If the mirror could flip back and forth extremely quickly - if the sensors could focus and display the image quickly (particularly easy if the camera is already focussed !) so that you could flip back and forth near-instantly then wouldn't this be a "killer" feature ?

Perhaps a "new line" of DSLR will be so different that it will add a whole new letter to the coding scheme altogether - "D" for DSLR, "M" for mirrorless, "H" for hybrid ...

5DSR replacement that competes more directly with the D850? Move the 5DIV more to the middle of the road "all rounder" position where it belongs. Mirrorless or not IDK. In this case, not a 1 series body.

+1 Please

 

[AdjustedInCamera]

That's going to be a 1Gpx 100fps mirrorless "DSLR" with OVF, EVF, thermal vision, and of course 20 stops of DR plus integrated toaster & ice maker. I'm excited!!!

Give it a tilty-flippy screen and i might be interested...

 

[danski0224]

I'm hoping for a 1DSIV or 1DXsR.

Hopefully they don't cripple the touchscreen this time

 

[Ozarker]

Wondering whether this will make me happier to have skipped the 5D mark IV.

For the second time in the last couple of months, we’re being told that a new DSLR series will be announced some time in 2018. Neither source could name the series, only that it appeared as a “new DSLR series” in a presentation.</p>
<p>If we’re thinking out loud, I think these would be the obvious candidates.</p>

<ul>
<li>EOS-1D Xs
<ul>
<li><em>A high megapixel pro series body. Since the amalgamation of the 1D line back in 2009, we’ve always wondered if we’d get a camera like this to truly replace the EOS-1Ds Mark III. </em></li>
</ul>

I need this so urgently. Customer demand requires me to use other brands for part of my work. So expensive and frustrating. I'd rather spend all this money on Canon. A flagship 5DSr is what is needed. High frame rate with world-class autofocus, no anti-aliasing filter, and high MP. Take away any of those and it doesn't work.

 

[Wizardly]

For my wish list:

Curved sensor camera .
8D - lower tier, refresh of the 6D.
6d.2a, astro 6D.2
5Dr, low resolution, high ISO performance 5D.

The presented APS-H prototype sensors with 120 and 250 Megapixels will most probably end up in the 5Ds Mark II und III. An 7D Mark III is rumored to come early 2018. It is also said that it will be the first crop DSLR with 4K video.

Cinema EOS: Canon wants to be ready for the 8K 2020 Olympics, so they will present a product in this range until then. They already have shown their 8K cinema prototype camera for years now. It may end up as a C500 Mark II with 8K sensor. And I can also imagine, that Canon will offer to switch the C700 4.5K sensor with one of around 10K. Sligthly more than 8K to accomodate for the uses of the additional 0.5K on the 4K sensor of the current model. And I hope they will also release a 1D C Mark II as the DSLR model of the 8K line.

I'm hoping to see a decent video oriented body with a 12mp sensor like the sony a7s. It's what canon is missing in their lineup. They'd have incredible low light similar to A7S and no problem sampling the whole full frame sensor. It'd be a great addition and what a lot of video professionals want.

To all the fools who say "get a real video camera", I've already got one. I use a C100, which I've made a living with for 4 years, and soon will either pick up the C200 or Panasonics new EVA-1. But, what all these gumby enthusiast photographers think, is that a dslr cannot and should not be used for video. There are times and certain situations where shooting video in the form factor of a dslr is hugely beneficial. Light setups are key in a wide range of situations and it blows my mind that there are so many ignorant people out there that cannot grasp that.

So I'm all for canon innovating their 1DC line or maybe even a 5DC line. Looking forward to learning about whatever it is they're developing.

The presented APS-H prototype sensors with 120 and 250 Megapixels will most probably end up in the 5Ds Mark II und III.

No. A 5Ds where the 11-24/4L becomes equivalent to 14mm on the wide end? No. There won't be any more commercial APS-H bodies.

 

[9VIII]

I would want a high MP APS-H sensor to show up in either a "1D Mini" or "7DS", and eventually it would be the perfect way to differentiate the Rebel XX line from all the competing bodies.
High ISO improvements will come to an end someday and when they do you'll see large sensors proliferate down the price scale (as is happening now on Point&Shoot bodies).

Maybe they could even give it a special mirror that keeps EF-S compatibility.

It's also 1.3x zoom for birders. This + limitless crop = why not?

 

[unfocused]

7Dx – Integrated grip 7D with CFast slot, 16 fps, good high ISO performance, full touch-screen, built to 1D standards, basic editing in-camera and intuitive wifi interface.

7Dx is a fantasy 'crop 1DX2' for only the most demanding birder/wildlifers.

Agreed. Although they could follow Nikon's lead and simply offer an additional grip that uses the 1Dx battery for a higher frame rate and faster autofocus with big whites. The actual feature set of the 7D and the 1D series are not that much different as it is.

Because 'limitless crop' obviates the need for '1.3x zoom', and because both 'limitless crop' and '1.3x zoom' can only narrow the FoV, not widen it.

Oh, and Canon said APS-H is dead.

If it is 1dc2 just with Log then it is very sad. Canon can upgrade 5d4 with log for $100 but not the 1dx2? Instead launch 1dc2 with log and charge premium? I am positive they will not do this atrocity.

• EOS-1D Xs - A high megapixel pro series body. Since the amalgamation of the 1D line back in 2009, we’ve always wondered if we’d get a camera like this to truly replace the EOS-1Ds Mark III.

This one would get my $$$$.

But will this happen? Will it not obsolete 1dx2 with it's launch? If it does not, will it be much better than 5dSR?

 

[preppyak]

Also, a '7DC' crop rig with 4K seems a little silly as I'd 100% expect a 7D3 and 90D to get 4K anyway, right?

Knowing Canon, they'll release a 7D-C (at <mp and fps) for $2499+ with 4k, and a 7DmIII without 4k at its usual price point. Making nobody in the video world happy.

Seeing how they botched the 6D, I dont think they'll ever get the consumer video side back; so an APS-C C-cam seems like they'll be spreading themselves thin for little gain. Especially when the C-100, C-200, etc exist

No, the 1DX MkII would have a fps advantage and be cheaper. Yes, just add on sensor ADC has been shown to improve low ISO image quality enough just by itself to warrant a change, throw in a few other goodies and it would be a great camera.

Having said that I don't see it happening, there is no doubt the market is video sensitive and a 5DC makes a lot more sense and would appeal to a much wider customer base.

I've said many times, and for a long time, three 5 series models makes a lot of sense, the 5D Mk?? For the generalists, the 5DS/R Mk? For the high resolution photo orientated and a 5DC for the video guys that want the form factor, sensor size, etc that a ff dslr gives them with the ability to shoot some decent stills with it too.
