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

[Omni Images]

I mostly do landscape and wildlife.
For landscape I want to be able to enlarge and print my images upwards of 70" which is why I mostly stitch 10 to 12 images for digital panos, or use my Linhof 617 pano 120 film.
I am happy with the specs and samples of the new 7DII for wildlife. TICK...
For landscape I have recently been looking at the Sony A7r ... and thinking of maybe going even further to perhaps the Pentax 645Z
Both using sony sensors 36mp and 51mp respective.
I also want to take than camera to some really remote paces so weight would be an issue, which is why the Sony is looking good for that, where as a new 1Dx body type might be too big and heavy ... having said that, I might be prepared to lug a 51mp Pentax 645z just for the quality I would get ..
So I think a minimum of a FF 36mp should be in the works.

>21 <25MP 1Dx MkII, I don't care about DR, banding, noise, 4K or any video for that matter, GPS, WiFi or any other sales pitch consumerisms.

I just want a 1 series with 25MP and 10 or more fps.

 

[Besisika]

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.

I don't want a new 1DX yet, the current can do what I need it to do.
What is missing, IMO, is just DPAF and 4K, which better put on a 5D IV. I think, that people who need those don't care much about high FPS. 6 FPS would be enough for them.
When it is time for me to replace my 1DX, I would rather see something worth the upgrade, and the technology of in a year or two would surely deliver that, not the today's yet.

My design goals would be:
Improve speed (AF, frame rate, data transfer)
Improved SNR
Improved DR at low ISO
Improve usability

6D Mark-II:
18MP Full frame DPAF sensor
6fps (rated to 100,000 shots)
45pt AF system (all cross type)
Articulating LCD (same as 70D)
UHS-II compliant SD
Wifi 802.11ac
USB 3.0
HMDI 2.0

Same sensor can be used for full frame MILC.

EOS 3D for me: The high MP studio stills camera.

 

[FTb-n]

SL2 with the 70D sensor and improved video AF.

My 5D3's suit me fine. But, I would be interested in a compact DSLR for travel light needs and for my wife.

I like full manual for stills, but video isn't a big interest for me. The 5D3 is truly fantastic for those more talented with manual focus while shooting video -- which isn't me. Our best video camera for me and for my wife to use is an SX20. I'd like to replace this with an SL2 which can use my lenses or just the 18-135 (or the new pancake).

 

[Coldhands]

My desire would be for a 6D mk2 with a few small upgrades over the current model:

-Same basic sensor, with DPAF (allows them to use the all-important phrase "Newly Developed Sensor" in the marketing materials). I don't see a need for much effort to be spent improving IQ.
-5 fps. Totally sufficient for a camera aimed at landscapes, street shooting, portraiture, etc.
- 20<af points<40. At least a few cross type, and with a wider distribution.
-150k shutter actuations for less anxiety about shooting long timelapses.
-Joystick AF point selector.
-CF+SD cards (I'm selfish and don't want to have to buy new cards)
-Transmissive LCD viewfinder, with grids, level, etc.
-"Off means Off" with respect to GPS

Daydreaming aside, none of the current 6D's shortcomings are debilitating enough to stop me buying one come Christmas if there are good deals to be had. And I think it's fairly obvious at this point that it's unrealistic to expect an updated 6D until after the 5D mk3 receives an update itself, as that would make the latter almost completely redundant.

 

[expatinasia]

Surprised so many people have voted for a 1D X ii. Whenever that camera comes out I will likely buy it, but I would prefer them to release the 5D Mark IV first. Perhaps even use that launch to iron out any kinks there may be in new tech or designs.

 

[AvTvM]

not another mirrorslapper, please.


* EOS M3 - like M2 but with 7D II sensor, much improved AF and better battery life @ 599,-
* EOS M3 "Pro" - as above, but additionally with great EVF and 360° articulated screen @ 999,-
* EOS X1/R/S - FF sensored mirrorless system, matching Sony A7/R/S in terms of sensors, beating them in terms of AF system, shutter (fully electronic) and battery life [500+ shots]. One model with 5D IV sensor, one model with new high rez sensor ("R)", 1 model for video/4k. @ prices ... just like A7/R/S.
* Plus native EF-X FF lenses to go with it. As small as possible, as good and cheap as EF-M, only for 135 image circle.

it is so little, Canon needs to do to make me happy. 8)

 

[adhocphotographer]

5D MK IV please....

MP of 5D MK III is fine for me.
Faster AF would be great
More DR, and better high ISO - standard
WiFi PLEASE.........

 

[tayassu]

6D Mark II with slight IQ and handling improvement and a big autofocus upgrade... :

 

[Tugela]

I would like them to release the 7D3 next, with all the capabilities that the 7D2 SHOULD have come with but didn't.

 

[KitsVancouver]

1DsIV

Not the same as a 1DxII

+1

 

[dgatwood]

6D Mark-II:
18MP Full frame DPAF sensor

I can't imagine them reducing the megapixel count.... Just saying.

 

[Marsu42]

6D Mark II with slight IQ and handling improvement and a big autofocus upgrade... :

Slight iq upgrade as in "2mp more", handling with a larger grip and joystick, and an af system that is nearly 1d-level? Well, guess what, it's called 5d3

 

[BeenThere]

A really low noise 6D II, like A7s level (large cells, low noise). 16 to 18 Mp would be ok to achieve low noise at high ISO. Astro photographers want this along with some low coma WA/UWA lenses that are better than F2.8

 

[RustyTheGeek]

OK, screw it. I just changed my mind!!

Now that I have played with the 7D2 and saw the lensrentals tear down, I want them to up the price on an upgraded little lightweight 110D/SL2 and weather seal it like the 7D2. That would be fantastic for hiking along with a primo weather sealed lightweight lens it could be possibly sold with. (Sort of a special rugged EF-S 15-85 IS deal.)

But alas, I know it will never happen... :-[

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.

I'd like to see something like this happen on a 6D type body. Mirrorless with reasonably fast focusing and still using EF lenses.

I don't want a tiny camera, just more accurate autofocus, and to eliminate the mirror and pentaprism claptrap. A electronic shutter would also improve reliability.

Unfortunately, I know that buyers are wanting small cameras, so my wishes won't happen.

For now, I have found my G1X to be usable in a lot of situations, but it could be so much more with the dual pixel phase detect AF and a better sensor. Its a bit too small for me, but barely manageable in my big hands.

Lots of cameras are getting closer to what I want. The SonyA7s is so close that I might rent one to check it out more carefully. I often crop a lot, so I'd want a longer lens than a 24-70 to avoid so much cropping. 70-200 can be too long at the wide end. Still, between the two, I can do fine.

1DX Mk II!!! Bring it ON!!!

 

[sanj]

I want a 40mp with killer DR at 100 ISO for landscapes. Yeah.
