What is your Canon wish list ?

[Sporgon]

I'd like to see Canon introduce two features. Firstly stop down focusing and metering when using the 1.2/50, so if I'm shooting at the apertures most susceptible to focus shift - f/1.6 to 2 ish, the camera stops down to focus. At smaller apertures it doesn't need to. I'd have thought that's a pretty simple feature to incorporate.

Secondly I'd like a mode which maintains dof. I find shooting social events a real pain when I'm constantly having to open up as I'm shooting further away, and the stopping down enough for head and shoulder shots. So I'd like to be able to input something like f/2.8 on say a 35mm at group shot distance, automatically stopping down as I get closer to finish at say f/5.6 at head & shoulders distance. Again I'd have thought that was pretty easy to achieve as the lens is feeding the distance back to the camera.

85/1.4 IS
50/1.4 IS
5DSRII (w/ADC-on-chip sensor)

Can't think of anything else... My current gear is more than sufficient, so the wish list is mostly GAS

A Canon EOS DSLR with:

- Same 12 MP full frame sensor as the 5D classic;
- 5DIV like body;
- Liveview;
- Tilty LCD screen;
- AutoISO;
- No video;
- Dual card slots;
- A nice price;

Thanks Canon.

Dial settings that will give me shots like Jennifer Wu's night skies or Jack Dykinga's landscapes (yeah, I know, he shoots Nikon).

Or a mirrorless with focus as fast as a DSLR and no blackout.

7D Mklll :- autofocus capability of the 1D Xll and much better high ISO....enough to compete with Nikon's D500 at least. Better dynamic range would be good, but that would have to be around the 1000+ ISO mark
1/250th second flash synch speed on pretty much all cameras

600 DO

14 F2.0

Sensor with IQ & ISO sensitivity of Sony's best

I've been wanting a camera since 2014 when the 7Dll came out. A camera with wifi,gps, articulating touch screen, dual digic 7 processors, 11 or 12 fps, 4 C modes on the dial or a C mode that takes you to custom presets created by the user,button layout of 7Dll and better dynamic range. This camera would last me longer than a five year refresh cycle.

being able to read out the shuttercount on any of my new 4000€ plus toys like the 5dsr, 5dm4.Providing the interface again to allow my commercial license of shuttercount or any other software , to do this would be fine.

Just not being able to get this information on MY camera (that i purchased from Canon) other than sending in into CPS service - this is what sucks.


a new 50 1.2 - thats it so far.

 

[Steve Dmark2]

300mm 4l IS ll or 400mm 5.6l IS
both with the same interaction quality with converters like the 300mm 2.8 ll

Apsc size 12mm 2.8 with filter thread.
That's it

M6 is starting to sound interesting, along with the new 85L IS. Looks like the grandchildren will inherit a S95 and a SL1, both still working well, but the test is what happens when in the hands of 5-9 year oldes.

 

[figaro28]

Of course, the new SL2 soon.

And:

30 mm, 1.4, IS, great performance. Price and size secondary. Why doesn't such a lens exist????

Right now 35 2.0 IS would be closest.

And also:

30 - 33 mm, 2.0, pancake, cheap.

Right now 24 2.8 pancake would be closest.

Please!

3) a 20mm F1.4 with no coma....

I like that notion!

 

[jd7]

I've decided is like a 58 f/1.4 along the lines of what Nikon offers. And a 20 f/2 IS or f/2.8 IS would be nice too

 

[chrysoberyl]

1. 400mm f/5.0 IS with blue goo, less than $2K US
2. 500mm f/5.6 IS with blue goo, less than $2.5K US
3. 6D II with articulating screen (I have to have something realistic…)

 

[RGF]

600 F4 DO w drop in 1.4 filter
1D with APS-H crop

 

[hne]

• A fast-focussing 85/1.4L BR IS USM that is similar in size to the more pocketable 35/1.4L than the bizarre Sigma 85/1.4 Art
• Firmware update for GPS that turns off with on/off switch but geotags with last known position if camera has been off less than X hours
• A water-repelling trifold shoot-through umbrella with built-in flash in the handle, using AA batteries. Or something else that is compact that can quickly unfold to a large soft light source.
• Any sort of normal range zoom with IS and f/2 or faster. EF 35-80/2 IS USM for example

I wish Canon were more consistent with trickle down technology. We get some brilliant features and some that leave us wondering why Canon did that. The current 6DII sensor not progressing like other sensors have. Or the video codec of the 6DII, no 4K I understand but why not use the best technology that will not cost more or at least not too much more. I love the ergonomics though,nothing comes close. As a learning enthusiast the great ergonomics is what is helping me to progress.

In terms of products I would LOVE to see them quickly come out with a new camera slotted right between the 6 and the 5. I think the 6II will be easier for me to learn on and advance but I would like some higher performance, the DPR review is more disappointing than I expected, especially the autofocus. There is a big gap price wise between the 6 and 5 would any of you expect an inbetween camera?

I want a full frame mirrorless camera the size of an SL2 with the EF mount. The extra space for the empty EF mount will be used by the world's first camera based drop in filter system.

I'd also want an 15-45mm F4.0 EF-M, 10-18mm F4 EF-M and 45-150mm F4.0 EF-M for the F4 tiny trinity. To fill out my EF-M wishlist is the STFU list: 24,28,35,50 and 85mm F2.0 primes.

A significant amount of canon's ILC business is the EF-M .. get it going guys.
