What do you hope-for MOST from Canon in 2014

[Etienne]

I am hoping that Canon comes out with a killer mirrorless ... either a Pro EOS-M3 or a full frame, either of which should beat the Sony A7 series. Features: fast AF, awesome IQ, amazing low light, excellent video, Video AF with dual pixel, full sensor readout for video with no artifacts (moire, aliasing), excellent ergonomics, built in wifi with livestream to YouTube capability.

What product do you hope-for the most from Canon this year?

I apologize in advance for bringing this back up, and for being cliche, but: I hope for an APS-C camera which could be considered a revolutionary follow up to the 7D. I would hope it basically take what the 7D did for me, and elevate it to game-changing levels. I would use it for wildlife photography.

Now back the regularly scheduled programming which will likely be folks asking for cameras for video and other things.

A 1DXs with a Foveon sensor...

Wouldn't a Pro EOS-M3 be APS-C? If so, I doubt that it would beat the Sony A7 series. I would settle for something similar to the Sony A6000, only better. I would also like a tiny 16-135 or 15-85 native lens.

A FF camera based on the EF mount (with a 22 to 24mm sensor-flange distance) is something else entirely. That conceivably could be a fully professional body. I think people would accept an extremely high quality EVF, instead of an OVF, if it allowed 24 or 30FPS, full resolution? I might even buy one if the price wasn't too absurd.

1. 35L II @ f1.4
2. 135L f2 IS

I expect a Canon EF 10-24mm (or 12-24mm) f/4L IS. That´s all I am hoping for. A Canon EF 100-400mm f/4-5.6L II that would not cost US$ 3,000 would also be nice, but as I am a wide angle fan, the first lens would suit my needs for years.

 

[Tabor Warren Photography]

A new 35L ii would be incredible, it is by far our most used lens.

Just Dream about EOS-M MK III, For the fast repeat shooting with out delay time (ha, Ha, Ha = 1-2 minutes delay times of MK I =worst than my canon P&S SX160IS)---Yes, Plus Usable ISO 12,800, and tiny on camera flash ( for portrait shooting with brighted back light that make the dark model's face).
Yes, I do not mind to pay 699 US Dollars, just Body.
Have a great Sunday.

PS. If canon can make EOS DSLR in my dream like the photos below, I might sell one of my vacation home on the Atlantic beach and buy this Camera----No, The 2 inches LCD is great for me, Because , When I shoot, I never look at my LCD---And that will save the Battery Power too---The Spare Power , for me to order more WINE----Ha, Ha, Ha. Yes, Forget about SEX button, I am too old for that kind of activity----Canon can omit that button too.

10-24mm lens (not fisheye) for full frame? Seems a delirious dream. However 12-24mm F2.8 can become reality, costing around $ 4000, and weighing several kilograms. If 12-24mm F4 could cost about $ 2000 and weigh only 1 kilogram.

If Canon doesn't come fast with something like a A7R but with the dual pixel of the 70d type of AF, I will reconsidere my investisment in Canon Camera.

I usualy always have a APS and FF Camera from the last generation because I'm a gadget guy,but then, I doesn't get the 5D III, because I don't see the update from the 5d II, but I have the 70d, because is something really revolutionary. (Live view AF in my real life test are faster that the normal AF)

Since the A7(R) came out, I'm looking at it. I don't know why I don't own it now, because maybe I have a big bunch of Canon lens, but, then I really considere selling my bigs whites on ebay to switch :'(.

Since, last year, my primary camera for "out of contract" pleasure photography is my Samsung Phone and the EOS-M both are light and fast camera, but I want the FF DOF in a small package.

Writing this, I think, that I'm going to the Sony store

ST-E3-RT II; big AF light, recycle performance logging, integrated GPS receiver, power dials as on that PW zone controller gizmo.

600EX-RT firmware update: AF light which fires off-camera. Seriously Canon, WTF?

2. 135L f2 IS

O, yes. I would like that too!

 

[ajfotofilmagem]

Updated 50mm F1.4, 85mm F1.8, 100mm F2 with image stabilizer would make me happy.

 

[tayassu]

A 24-70 2.8 IS around 2000€/$ to replace my wrong focusing Tamron : A 12-24 2.8 at 2000€/$ to replace my Tokina, a 70-400 4-5.6 to replace my 70-300 at 2800€/$ and a 35 1.4 II, which bests the Sigma, at 1500€/$ :

I'd like to see the 7D Mark II with better noise resolution, 8fps, HDR, WiFi and double storage card. And, the EOS-M Mark III matching the image quality of the Fuji mirrorless cameras and many more EOS-M lenses. My dreams will come true.

1. 35L II @ f1.4
2. 135L f2 IS

+1.

But I would also like a true 1D class (weather sealing, integrated grip, FPS) crop camera for wildlife work

 

[Haydn1971]

1st - 15-85 EF-M or a compact pancake style zoom 15-40 maybe could work
2nd - 20-135mm f4 IS L for full frame (I'd be happy with f3.5-5.6 tbh)
3rd - 500mm f5.6 IS for less than £2k

I love a PIZZA and COKE button on my camera. On the other hand, would be very dangerous to shoot a serious job, and accidentally push the button SEX.

 

[Maiaibing]

Very modest; Just a 5DIV announcement with specs would be great.

Have all the lenses I could wish for. 135L IS would be nice but not a must have.
