D5200 > 650D
And I'm not talking about MP count...

 

[nicku]

Like usual... another blow in the head for Canon.

39 AF points, 5 fps, 24MP ,fully articulated screen and many others over 650D... what can i say...

 

[traveller]

That camera is a serious "Rebel-killer". Heck, it doesn't look bad compared to the 6D! 2013 needs to be a big year for Canon...

 

[Canon-F1]

hell this looks so much better then the 650D on paper.

how do you talk new customers into canon gear these days?

better lenses? i think that will not cut the cheese as they cost a fortune.

you mean with the 650D sensor for both the 70D and 7D MK2

you laugh... until it becomes reality.

 

[krjc]

I'm going to stick with Canon :-[, but any friends who ask, I will say go look at what Nikon has, as their cameras are definitely better then Canon presently.

 

[azizjhn]

Good to see Nikon going on rampage right now that better for us as a costumers, but anyway this camera will cost 1,150$ it is 350$ more than the Canon 650D and even more expensive than the 60D.

But since Nikon announce there cam thats mean Canon will follow it in a short time i hope they release 70D or 7D MK II

cheers ;D

 

[Basti187]

wow that will kill the rebel sales, sounds like a very nice dslr, especially for video with 1080/60

 

[Canon-F1]

But since Nikon announce there cam thats mean Canon will follow it in a short time i hope they release 70D or 7D MK II

well and what if canon plays the usual game?

imagine the 70D and 7D MK II really get the "hybrid" 650D sensor.
plus a few gimmicks of course.

or the same sensor technology as the 650D but with 20-22 MP.

of course for 300$ more then the latest models.

It will be their fault i don't care if they lose money that will give them a hard lesson.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

Wake up Canon!!! 39 point AF? 1080/60i? 2016 pixel RGB? Is this going against 60D/7D????

but we will have to wait longer for a worthwile upgrade.

Interesting from UK pricing
£720 - $1150.7 less 20% UK tax £576 - $921

and that would be 'early adopter' price

Is the UK getting this camera cheaper?

They'll just put WIFI and GPS in-cam and EV -3 center point and recycle the hybrid 18mp sensor of 650D that is even beaten by the 18mp sensor of 600D.

Canon is acting quite a bit like Kodak lately.

Unable to innovate, don't want to innovate, stubborn, hard-headed, doesn't listen to customers/users?

So the new AF in the 5D3 is not listening to Canon 5D2 owners??

So IS becoming standard on even short-focal length primes as well as the new 24-70 standard zoom is not listening to customers??

Canon is listening to customers, they're just not listening to the vocal minority ???

 

[DB]

It is perfectly normal for manufacturers to leap-frog each other in the tech stakes. Canon was way ahead of Nikon in the MP stakes for years, and Nikon was slightly ahead in the ISO stakes. Now Canon has leap-frogged the Nikon D4 and D800 in terms of ISO performance with the 1DX and the 5D3...meanwhile Nikon has the 24MP Sony Exmor sensor....
....competition is healthy, it is a good thing and Canon will up the game in 2013, and no they're not Kodak, they're not going to cling to old tech forever.


edit: MS are pricing the new Surface tablet @ same price as new iPad but with 32GB instead of 16GB and larger screen

Who asked for IS on short-focal length primes. If anything I'd say most people wanted internal zoom and IS on the 24-70. I still bought one anyway.

Honestly the DR thing nobody really wasn't even on most people's radar until the D800 came out so I can forgive them on that.

What I would be interested in is a new

14-24
updated zoom: 16-35 L II
updated primes 35, 50 (1.2L or 1.4) and 85 mm L lenses
make 5D/1D series bodies all have WiFi/GPS/ Radio Flash Trigger built in
stop crippling video output
prices that are not out of whack

In the Future a high MP high DR sensor.

The last thing that got me really excited was the 200-400 1.4TC lens which I would like to own someday.

+1

The thing is, the people on the forum are not, generally speaking, Canon's major target audience.
