The proplem with 1080p video is that, it’s there just to give better spec than competition. It’s completely useless but they nevertheless spent some time implementing it.
That’s lame, camera developers should not produce new products just to have better some stupid, unimportant spec.
New cameras should provide more functions and better usage/value for photographers.
This just shows how are management/marketing guys thinking and what is important to them on new products.
Excellent observations Zac. Unfortunately my money is on the 60D having 1080p at 30fps and that’s about it – a sidegraded model at best. It feels like the industry is going to use adding video to ‘skip’ this year’s refresh cycle and ride out the recession. Save the real innovation for when there’s money to be made from it.
So when can I buy this camera?
At the beginning of May.
I see that an ‘beginning of May’ availability is identified, does Canon normally roll these things out around the world at the same time, or do they stagger it by region?
I am currently in Asia – any idea if the launch-date for sale will be the same as the USA?
…by the way, great web-site… thanks.
