Canon 3D?

**hacksaw** · 06-03-2005, 06:42 PM

I saw this posted at Fred Miranda's site. The poster claimed he saw it at Canon's website but was pulled out immediately. Familiar story? Some photoshop wisecrack? Hmmm...well, here we go again! People, start your speculating engine and let the guessing game begin! :winkgrin:

I guess its hoax. The no. "3" is taller than the "EOS".

But yeah... most probably 4th quarter of this year there's gonna be another canon DSLR

Anyway there is a new 20da for astro photographers

looks like a hoax to me. the dead give away? look at the design of the body. it resembles the EOS 1 line of cameras. knowing canon's design team, they will not veer away from the original design of the EOS 3. the original EOS 3 has a more angled pentaprism housing. this one has a rounded pentaprism housing. more akin to the 1-series. also, i looked at the image through photoshop, the word "digital" at the bottom of the camera looks like it was placed there through an image editing program.

anyway, i really think it's all a hoax. if the guy who did this used an EOS 3 body instead, i probably would've believed it.

They'll probably skip calling it '3D' for obvious reasons... But there is a big gap in their line up between 20D and 1D mk.II and between 1D mk.II and the 1Ds mk.II. I'll be happy with 35mm-sized 11 mp, 3 fps and 9 frame buffer.

I'm also wondering why the old full-frame 11 mp of the 1Ds doesn't trickle down to lower models. One would assume that prices would be lower of the 11 mp as it has been amortized. On the other hand, Canon may only have one plant or manufacturing line to make full-frame imaging chips and the Old have to give way to the New.

there is a canon camera that will be launched around september.. is this the one? :shy:

**randytamayo** · 06-06-2005, 09:44 AM

september? oh no not again...

if there is one, it will be one to replace the 1D Mark 2 (sya na ang oldest sa current line ngayon e)

Maybe they'll boost it to 11-12MP (pang asar sa D2x) pero sports mode pa rin na 8.5FPS. Plus a buffer of around 50frames (laban sa D2Hs) JPEG

Digic 3.

ETTL 2

1.3 sensor pa rin.

So it won't be EOS-3 but rather EOS 1D Mark III or baka Mark3.

That's where my money is.

I heard that it will be full frame and it will be in the 1D series level..

**randytamayo** · 06-06-2005, 10:18 AM

Full Frame...whoa!

Then its the start of Canon merging its 2 top of the line dSLRs into one...

A single camera for both the high-megapixel and hi-speed user. Holy Grail di ba?

After they merge the 2 cameras into 1, Canon will move into the >35mm sensor (645 siguro, hehe)
