New Processor for EOS line

[adrianfw]

There is a quite reliable source indicates that the new EOS body will having a brand new processor and it is not the digic5 appears in the powershot s100 and sx40. Anyone beside me hearing this news also?

There is a quite reliable source

Hopefully not DigitalRev... :

Yes, I've heard it too [CR4]

Re: New Processor for EOS line [CR3]

Not from digitalrev....it would show in the new interchangeble videocam and probably the future EOS series SLR..
This should launch before christmas...Save ur money for that...I heard that is a killer product from canon.

Re: New Processor for EOS line [CR3]

what should be launched before xmas? a video camera or a dslr?

He must've forgotten the minus sign between the R and the 3. Or that the CR ratings are for the site's moderators to rank the Rumors that they post, not for everyone else to use.

Yes, the DLSRs will be using a new digic6 flux capacitor. Never miss a shot because you can always go back and get it.

The new processor will make EOS series shine in year 2012

It will bring the EOS performance into new height...

It indicate that it come with some features that first time show in EOS series..still not much information about the exact features...

Well said! +1

Great . . . 1.21 jiggawatts

Yet another battery format/handgrip from Canon

Well the EOS line will not have the DigicV as it is in the S100. The DigicV in those cameras is limited to fit the uses of the camera. DigicV in the EOS cameras will be fully powered.

So I guess in some since you could be correct.

The Canon XF100/105/300/305 camcorders all use a "Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor". Maybe there is a version 4 on the horizon to support the rumored new Super 35 camcorder.

Just a thought.

I doubt there will be more than one Digic5 processor, too costly to design and manufacture different processors. But yes, via firmware, some features could be disabled or slowed down but unless Canon has some big surprise for the world, there are no new "magical" image processing techniques that would only be added to the new DSLRs.

Now that's funny.

Now that's an interesting bit of info. Thanks for finding the right angle on this one.

That is correct, the videocams have Digic DV, so maybe the new DSLRs would have a separate Digic DV to offload EOS Movie processing to that chip and let Digic V handle image processing.

Ok,sure if that's what you meant then I should have prefaced my remark with "I agree..." before adding my comment that it would be the same chip and any differences would only be via firmware.

It will be interesting to see what processor they use in the mk3 etc. With the rumoured increase in video quality and the higher megapixel count, it will need to be pretty powerful.

Maybe dual digi v's?

It would be strange for an Eos model to go from a standalone photo camera processor to a video camera processor, surely building a processor that suits the exact needs of the machine is a far higher priority that using an existing processor from a line of products of which the sales dwarf that of the eos lines.
