The New Rebels Will be Called the 760D and 750D

[LetTheRightLensIn]

The 24MP sensor is what jumps out at me. That's a whole new animal for Canon. Did they make it? Did Sony? Did Nintendo?

We got a DPAF 20.2MP 70D, semi-flagship not long ago. Then the DPAF "tweaked up" 20.2MP 7D2 full flagship

And now along comes this lil' Rebel with 24MP??? Uhh-k.

Yeah, very interesting. It seems to imply Sony (or at the very least some new process sensor).

It seems to, but perhaps only in resolution. If I'm not mistaken, isn't the rumored "Hybrid CMOS AF III" a Canon-specific sensor technology? I know Sony does similar things, but to call it Hybrid CMOS AF III seems to me to point to it being a Canon sensor.

We'll find out in a couple of days!

Not really.

you remove all the "dual" part of the 20Mp sensor, 4Mp isn't much to increase.

5472x3072 to 6000x4000 (approx.) so really 4.1um to 3.75um pixels or a delta of 300nm.

Not to mention that sony sensors are 24x16mm so it wouldn't be 24MP on a canon crop - but around 22Mp.

Was exactly my thoughts as well. But like you said, we'll find out soon enough.

Perhaps it will be Canon strategy to release video and stills versions of their cameras from here on out?

Sony APS-C has 1.5x crop while Canon APS-C has 1.6x crop. Hmmm...

It'll be exciting if the new Rebels have wider base ISO dynamic range than the APS-C flagship 7D2.

 

[RayValdez360]

That's crazy, a rebel is getting more Megapixels than any canon camera around...so far.

 

[Luds34]

Like others, I'm still trying to understand what the real differences are between the two. Certainly Canon didn't need to have a separate model just to upsell for a rear dial.

... and for the top lcd, probably coupled with less fw crippling than the 750d.

Imho don't underestimate the thin profit margins in this segment, if they can offer a "basic" model and manage to upsell most customers €50-€100 for parts that cost them €5 that's a real difference given the large market size.

Touche. Just like paying 4 figures to upgrade to "premium" audio in one's automobile. Cue salesman, "Sure the base stereo is okay, but you really are going to want this upgraded, premium system, it sounds amazing!"

It would be even better if Canon went to 1.5 crop, makes it a lot easier to calculate equivalent focal lengths on the fly 8)

Wow, the Canon 6D is looking like quite the dog spec wise these days.

I wonder. Is it coincidence that the Nikon D5300 has a 24.2MP sensor as does the new Rebel? Sony also has on-board AF sites... hmmmm

Well, that's not hard to do - the 6d essentially is a good sensor in a "as cheap as they can get away with" body plus wifi/gps gimmicks.

I think the 70d has a problem... are they going to do a 80d or dump the xxd line?
