New Processor for EOS line

[archangelrichard]

according to another rumor they are going to make the nextgen video camera with PL mount and with EF mount - as an EOS model - so that camera would have a "new to EOS" processor

From a forum post
Below is a post that appeared on the GTC forum in the UK. Apparently they will be appearing in November, as we’ve reported previously.

“They will be badged as EOS, despite the fact they are video cameras, and there will be two versions – one for EF lenses, the other with an PL mount. I’m guessing here but the PL mount camera may offer more options than the EF version – e.g. SDI out and genlock… etc in the same way that the XF300/305 cameras have differentiated themselves.

“Its a Super35 4K sensor, but from what I have seen only records 1080 in-camera, using the same XF codec – i.e. 4:2:2 @ 50mbps. Perhaps the PL version will output 4K thru SDI?

“The size of the camera looks similar to that of the FS100, but more rounded/ergonomic. It has a similar LCD screen on top, but it seems more flexible – i.e. allowing for greater viewing angle/for versatility.

“This could be a killer camera, and one well worth waiting for if any of you guys are thinking of buying a F3/FS100 or AF100…”

A wish list, or something to it?

The processor is not digiv 5 or digi dv series...it will be a brand new processor series in canon..cheers ^^

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.

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

Agreed. To expand on that, it's not just the high-end 'pro' like that uses Digic DV III, the entire Vixia/Legria line, right down to the lowest end RF100, use that chip as well.

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.

As we are talking about Canon, then this is more than sure.

I only find it pity that I'm a Canon product user rather than having shares.

CAJ on New York. Shares are down from the $52 peak earlier this year and there could be run ahead of the big Hollywood announcements. I'm not buying though
