what is the body you want to see canon release next ?

[Helios68]

Hi,

Canon is expected to release new FF bodies.
At your personal point of view. What is the body you would like to see in the next months with which specs and news?
I would like a 6D2 mixed from 6D and 70D and you?

Regards

A 1DX II

 

[saveyourmoment]

1DX ii which blows the current dslr/s/ Sonys away. High iso, high dynamic range, high mp

 

[Dylan777]

Another vote for X II with one full stop improvement in high ISO :

It's time for the EOS3 to go back into production.

1DsIV

Not the same as a 1DxII

 

[jrista]

I'm in for the 5D IV, primarily for landscapes but for wildlife/birds as well if it's at all possible (been rather disappointed with the 5D III for landscapes). I really want a D810 competitor that brings in some 7D II/1DX like features.


Something along the lines of:

• 30-40mp (minimum, bayer array...I'll take more if they offer more; 20mp layered/60 million photodiode sensor would work as well)
• 8fps (Yup! With the 7D II at 10fps and the 1DX at 12/14fps, I think it's time we get 8fps in the 5D line)
• 150k pixel iTR Metering & AF system
• 61pt AF (I don't know that the all-cross-type 65-pt system of the 7D II would work in a full-frame spread...I'm currently quite happy with the existing 61pt system, honestly don't know how it could be improved outside of gaining the full iTR system)
• High Dynamic Range (13+ stops) (Yes, it's me, so of course I want this! )
• CF/CFast2
• 4k Video (I have some video projects I want to work on, like chronicling the life cycle of the prairie dogs in the nearby Cherry Creek State Park...and if I put more money into a Canon body that should last me for the next three years, 4k is now absolutely non-optional as far as I am concerned.)
• GPS (Out in the wilderness, this would be really useful; assuming it doesn't compromise weather sealing...)
• WiFi (Assuming it including it does not in any way compromise weather sealing...)
• All the standard Canon bells and whistles/ergos/button placement

I'd like Canon to release a 750d and finally start moving away from endless evolution of a dead end old-school moving mirror tech.

They won't introduce something like this on their premium cameras, but on a throw-away camera so any bugs won't last longer than the Rebel product cycle. Canon has fine "just works" products, but imho it's time to innovate again and really make use of their dual pixel tech with an evf option.

Why modify the Rebel line, instead of expanding the EOS-M line? I personally like my mirror slappers, I don't consider the tech dead end or old-school. If Canon does do something with mirrorless, they should do it in an entirely new line of cameras, instead of "eliminating" something that only a small percentage of photographers thing is old, dead, and useless.

I agree with your logic. Although most people usually treat with scorn the Rebel, is the place to test innovations with low risk of failure.

I have to admit: After I bought Sigma 50 Art, I wish that Canon produces many models with Dual Pixel AF (maybe Quad Pixel), and the place to test this is a hypothetical Rebel T6i or SL2. If Canon can give us a pretty decent OLED viewfinder, I will not have missed the mirror.

 

[telemaq76]

a 5d4 with low iso quality of the 1ds3, and the high iso quality of 1dx

Or a new 1dx with 24 mpx will be perfect

 

[infared]

I would like to see Canon discontinue the M and come up with State-of-the-Art mirrorless camera with State-of-the-Art Auto Focus, Great Viewfinder, with a line of pro lenses with a smal..smalll...did I mention SMALL footprint.
C'mon Canon....Let's get on the page...It's 2014 ALREADY.

 

[c.d.embrey]

What I want is a CROP MIRRORLESS camera with an EVF. Either a mirrorless 70D or a mirrorless 7D2 would be great.

New lenses needed -- EF & EF-S lenses with adaptor. For me, I'd need an 8.75mm f/2.8 (= 14mm FF), a 56.25mm f/2.8 Tilt & Shift (=90mm FF) and an 85mm f/1.8 (=135mm FF). I'm sure that there would be demand for a 11.25 - 187.5mm zoom (=18-300mm FF)

I have NO INTEREST in either Full Frame or Optical Viewfinder.

Imho with the mediocre af performance of the M, it's burnt as a gadget - if Canon want to show they're serious they'll put it in a Rebel just like the dual pixel af

I personally like my mirror slappers, I don't consider the tech dead end or old-school.

It's old school because the whole contraption is there because you need to af and meter before exposing the precious film to the light. Now you have a digital sensor that can do the rgb (...) metering and decent af (edge to edge, that is). And it's dead end because duplicating these functions is expensive, moving towards a niche application for people who are ok with their shutter only lasting that long instead of forever with 120fps burst speed.

Having said that, I also like my old-school cameras, but then again I'm not that young anymore and CR does feel like a home for golden ager enthusiasts

50MPixel mirrorless with electronic global shutter, DP AF and 4K video. I can live with Canon DR . All the oil and crap on the sensor from the mirror and shutter mechanisms piss me off and in the future I expect it will only limit the performance to a little more than 12fps.

 

[Bob Howland]

Something mirrorless, comparable to the Panasonic GM5 or Sony A6000, using (1) an APS-C sensor and M mount or (2) FF sensor and shortened EF mount. An M-mount camera could probably be GM5 size but an EF-mount camera would probably have to be A6000 size, at least.

I would happily rob a bank to buy that cam

I voted for 1DXII

I probably won't be able to afford it, but if Canon brings some new, overhyped tech, then it will be in 1 series body. After then we can hope some high resolution sensor with tons of DR or whatever upgrade will go to lower models.

 

[yorgasor]

Another major issue with the mirrorless solution is that it consumes much more power. While improving autofocus for a fancy EVF solution is possible, there's no getting around the fact that your battery will be running dry much faster. Two batteries will last me all day with heavy shooting on my 5D3. You're not going to get anywhere near that on any mirrorless body out there.

M3 w/ the70d 7dII sensor or
A real low light monster. What if there was a 12 MP pixel FF optimized for low light.
