Will Canon Answer the D4s? [CR2]

but seriously: I read, that Canon has ordered a lot of new BIG boxes, where their Cams are stored inside.
Worlds favourite sports event appears in 2014 too...
So those of you, that are in hope that there will be an announcement in spring might be not wrong...
Chances are high that we will see something new. But if it will be a gamechanger? Let us see...

The D7100 will be to be beaten in IQ....

It's a test of faith being a Canon user, it amazes me that that progress has been so slow in the camera dept they have delivered with some great glass but where is the Landscape camera? EVF? Foveon looky likey sensor, and the list could go on. Please lets see some real innovation this year, we ahve been loyal and patient now reward us!

This is one of the funniest "rumors" to be posted ever!
Canon making strategic "leaks" to pacify its user base.

As opposed to Nikon making strategic "announcements" with absolutely no real information content. ::)

Regardless, I think I prefer both of the above to Canon's real (i.e., detailed) announcements of lenses and bodies with the announced availability months later, then pushing the actual launch back one or more times - that was BS.

I thought that it was generally accepted that they already have - a couple years ago in fact: the 1Dx
+1 Haha!! So true!

Another thing.. WHEN the 7D mark ii is announced, that is going to be the camera of the year. Seriously, how long we've been waiting.. That's what I really want to see and I don't think I'll be disappointed. ;)

Waiting anxiously for the 7D2!

IMHO, Canon doesn't need to compete with Nikon, and why should it?
Nikon can continue to produce whatever they like... if you like what they have... please go to Nikon.

Canon has nothing to prove...
They can't afford to cough up a brand new camera every year.... and if they do its going to be Rebel.
If you can afford a camera every year, then you can afford to jump between brands every year.

Fact is... Canon released the 1DX, 5D Mark 3 and the 6D, 2 years ago.
They also released the 70D last year...

May be a 7D mark II is on the way, but they don't owe us anything... so don't expect it.

Honestly, I believe the only benefit the D4S owners will see is an improved video functionality to bring it on par with the D1X, an improved AF performance, which Canon already addressed with the 1D x firmware version 2.03, and higher FPS, for whatever it's worth, once again to bring it up to speed to the 1D X, all for a price comparable to the 1D X. Basically closing the gap to the 1D X 2 years after Canon released their flagship.

Totally agree. What is the rush for new cameras? Are there really that many Canon photographers out there being severely limited by what Canon currently offers? I just don't understand the need to upgrade camera gear so often. I'd rather have that cash for other things, no?

They already have with the Canon 1D X version 2.0! And don't speculate on a camera that you don't even have any of its specs, so far we have just seen pictures that are meaningless - with the exception of the small "s" next to the 4!

Patience patience.. When literally every other company other than Canon is producing some top of the line bodies and lenses.. (minus Nikon) ::) I still have my bank in Canon. I'm sure they'll blow all competition away very soon. -let's be optimistic- ;)

Oh thank god!! The EOS T6i with an improved 18MB APS-c sensor is finally here!

I'm thinking 20.2MP sensor for the T6i.
I think they could just stop with the rebel series. After the t3i, I don't care anymore tbh.
Yes I agree please stop with the rebels enough already!!!! 7D II would be nice maybe a 14-24mm 2.8 glass or another 1 series???

<p>Nikon’s extremely vague development announcement of the <a href=\"http://nikonrumors.com/2014/01/06/nikon-announces-the-development-of-the-nikon-d4s-camera.aspx/\" target=\"_blank\">D4s body at CES 2014</a> has sparked the wrath of Canonites wondering when Canon is going to move beyond <a href=\"http://www.canonrumors.com/2014/01/canon-powershot-n100-official/\" target=\"_blank\">selfie technology based cameras</a>.</p>
<p>Lets be clear first, Nikon hasn’t actually released any solid specs or descriptions of the technology in the new body.</p>
<p>We’re told by a longtime source that Canon is indeed still in the game and has some “groundbreaking” camera bodies coming in 2014. Canon will take a different approach at the Sochi games and have test bodies out there without the development announcement. Canon plans to make a “big splash” at the World Cup in Brazil in the spring.</p>
<p>An array of lenses an 3 prosumer/professional DSLR’s are coming in 2014. Along with a host of Cinema EOS products in April.</p>
<p>Patience appears to be the key for the Canon photographer….</p>
<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">c</span>r</strong></p>



I am not very patient, but have to wait anyway because of a lack of funds for photography :'(

Waiting for them to answer the D800...

If they want to keep up in pro and prosumer market they better start innovating.

It's amazing how often this fallacy comes up on this site (and probably others)

1. Companies are in business to make money
2. The 5D3 is selling much better than the D800 (and presumably generating more profit)
3. Therefore, Canon has no incentive to invest money into upgrades for that price segment.

That's really all there is to it.

I know there are a lot of people who want camera makers to think of their products the way master winemakers think of their products, to continually strive to put everything they have into each new revision. Unfortunately, that cuts into profit and future R&D, and is therefore bad for the long-term health of the business.

Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, et al are in business to make money. They will bring products to market that they believe will do that. Canon has been quite successful at this, Nikon less so.

If you want to tell Canon that their supposedly inferior sensors are costing them customers, their corporate reports will tell you that you are mistaken.

If you want better camera bodies from Canon, then you need to hope that Nikon produces true competitors to Canon's lineup.

I'm glad the article is a CR2, previously we've heard little in the way of news specifying that a 7D2 or 1Dxs would actually come out this year. At least now we can be fairly certain of at least one of the two becoming a reality.

The long periods of time between the release of Canon cameras isn't a big deal as long as they're consistent. Even if they only made one new camera every five years, as long as you know the next camera will blow your socks off you won't mind having something that seems outdated for a little while.

I'm not asking them to stop producing it, I'm asking them to stop renumbering it. The T3i is a fine little camera.......but what has changed except the number?

Its marketing. The consumer wants the latest and greatest. Its just like Automobiles, they make the same basic car for 5 years, but during each of those 5 years they gets a new model number and a handful of cosmetic changes.

Nikon has started taking a page from Canon's book, since they see that it works for consumer cameras, surely Pro's will go for it as well.. Next year we will See the D4X with a couple of minor changes. Some buyers will flock to get that one too, after all, it is the latest thing.
