What do you hope-for MOST from Canon in 2014

[PhotographiesND]

I have a dream.

A FF camera as small as A7R but in Canon :
- a good high iso
- a good dynamic range
- 36 mpix
- no more than 3 fps
- external battery charger
- adjustable screen

 

[Chaitanya]

Ef 60mm f2.8l L macro with 67mm filter threads(just to keep consistency with 100mm L) and a 180mm or 200mm macro . also maybe 400mm f4 L and 500mm f5.6 L for birders on budget.

Canon EF XXXmm F/X.XL IS USM

If you already know what numbers to put in the XXX's, you've read too many of my posts.

Judging from what I read from you, it will be the 135/1.8

I've been following for 2 years, it became pretty evident

Well a 1200mm F6 L IS USTM EF-sz II would be nice.

 

[tron]

EF 16-35 f/2.8L IS or if they ... can't include IS then EF16-35 f/2.8L III.

Sharp fully open up to the corners, low CA, low distortion, low coma (very low coma), low vignetting and ... low price (OK just kidding for the price)

 

[AprilForever]

7D Mk II.

 

[NancyP]

7D2.
Second place: a really good 14-24 or 12-24mm FF lens, equal to or better than the Nikon FF offering.

What I want most is to take better pictures....but canon can't deliver that for me. Or could they......

I guess I'm in the minority here. I'm happy with what I have.

Canon can't offer me what Sigma and Tamron can. Exceptional f/2.8 zoom lenses at a price that doesn't require selling organs.

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

What I'd like to see are some new lenses:

For full frame:
updated high quality 50/1.4
50/1.8 or 5/2.0 with IS
85/1.8 with IS
100/2.0 with IS

For EF-S:
12/2.8 or 14/2.8
18/1.8
22/2 with IS, or 22/1.4

All of the above with excellent autofocus and very good to excellent performance wide open.

ALSO, a new 430EX-RT flash with radio control to work like the 600EX-RT and with same degree range of motion as the 600EX-RT so that it can be bounced backward when shooting in the vertical position (rather than just 90 degrees upward).

* 5d MkIV - 26-30MP with improved DR sensor, 1 stop RAW image quality improvement in all ISO ranges, enhanced metering and autofocus system from 1DX, dual pixel autofocus from 70d, improved buffer (40 photos in full RAW), dual compact flash memory card slots, backlit buttons for low light shooting, 3.5" vari-angle OLED touch screen, GPS & WiFi, improved low light autofocus points in viewfinder for low light shooting in Ai servo autofocus mode

I'd buy that.

Me too. But the next 5D should come with a range of interchangeable focus screens like the 5D II or 6D.

1. A (relatively) low-weight, small, full-frame, DO replacement for the 28–300 (ideally starting at 24).
2. A full-frame camera with comparable pixel density to crop bodies (ideally with EF-S compatibility).

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

I think it will be difficult to make a sensor with high MP and super lowlight features

I hope for camera's for different photographers
A camera with high MP and good lowlight for photographers who need this (better than 1 DX)
A camera built for best in lowlight (like the a7s but better ;D) for photographers who need this

Both cameras has good Dynamic Range (more than 5DMark3 and 1DX) and innovations in new functions
And i mean very important both cameras has a flexible display

Edit

I forgotten, Both cameras comes with the video features alike the sony a7s (S-Log2, Slow Motion Video)

Please learn to spot a joke.

Well, I've already spent my 2014 budget and I now want the EF 16-35 f/4 (in addition to the 85 f/1.2, and 135 f/2)....so I almost hope that they don't announce anything I want...

Almost.....

Let's get real, if I don't find the money this year there is always 2015's budget. What I want most is a sub $3k ~400 mm lens with 4 stop IS that can take a 1.4xTC and give high IQ 560 mm shots. This could either be a new 100-400L or 400 f/5.6 L IS. I may actually prefer the once rumored 300-600 f/5.6 for ~$3-4k.

From Sigma I want the 24 f/1.4 Art that has optics like the 50A.

An answer to the GH4 and A7s. Canon is losing its video shooters by the droves, me included. We're all keeping our Canon glass, but won't forever.
