So this is running along 450D, instead of replacing it. Hopefully 400D will now completely disappear from the retail outlets.
I have the latest information on 1Ds Mark IV for you, it will have 2 petapixels (yes, not mega- or giga-) with ultra clean ISO 102400 (yes, one hundred thousand+two thousand+four hundred). It will outperform a Kodak imaging satellite.
Hmmm…. two petapixels, just isn’t enough. I want 9 orders of magnitude of separation between my set-up and anyone with a decent photographic eye. I think I’ll Take 500 and link them via Ethernet (and WFT of course) into my Mac Uber Pro and rig them to fire in battery and have an apple script to photomerge every incoming image group in CS4 Uber Pro edition. I will of course, commission Gitzo to make me an Anti gravity multi-pod, and I’ll ask Canon to hurry up the 800mm f/5.6 lenses so I can give my GODcam some reach. Then all will think I’m an out my mind tech obsessed loony with no artistic capability, and They’d be right, but I wouldn’t care. Haha PWN on.
Yay satire.

And I’m sorry to anyone who has clients that demand on file size, because that just gets annoying, but +1 to people who like big prints.
I think an interesting question to ask is what will be the specifications of 60D.
What can canon do to improve upon 50D? Video? Absolutely. More pixels? I don’t think so. 15Mp is already too much for APS-C. FF looks quite possible, but that is 5DMK2 exactly.
I am really confused.
Canon has stuck with the same resolution before. 20D -> 30D. I think they will again. Hopefully they’ll put a real AF system in it, and they might have a slightly higher FPS. Video as well. FF will not happen. Too many EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM shooters or birders, or who ever likes crop to leave in the cold.
