Nikkor Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 There are rumors coming up about a completly new canon sensor fab which will produce a revolutionary performing sensor. It is supposed to be the one going into the new 7d mkii, and later in 2015 into the 5d mkiv, 1Dmkv,etc... Personally I wish they'd come up with a FF mirrorless camera, specially since the A7s is kind of a deception viewed from an personal, totally subjective and youtube footage based opinion (no internal 4K, weirdo colors). My guess is that it will have double readout in Alexa style -> creamy highlights http://www.canonrumors.com/2014/06/new-sensor-tech-in-eos-7d-mark-ii-cr2/ http://www.canonrumors.com/2014/06/eos-1d-x-eos-5d-mark-iii-replacements-in-2015-cr1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quirky Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Personally I wish they'd come up with a FF mirrorless camera, specially since the A7s is kind of a deception viewed from an personal, totally subjective and youtube footage based opinion (no internal 4K, weirdo colors). No comment on the rumour, because it is, well, just a rumour so far. As for Canon coming up with a FF mirrorless camera, they have kinda done that already. The C100 and C500 are, whilst not literally FF, already Super35, aka "full frame" in cinema terms. I don't think there would be much point in adding yet another model with a FF 35mm sensor into their mirrorless Cx00 series. Whatever happens in the mainstream photo/video DSLR side of things, suppose a new upgraded EOS-M model is possible, even in Photokina, but I doubt that it'll be nowhere near a 5D3 sans the flipping mirror. Or that such a camera would have video features better than those in the 5D3. Possible, perhaps, but not likely, given Canon's recent track record. The recently super-hyped 70D ended up having just one new gimmick, the on-chip PDAF, but beyond that, it offered little or no improvements in overall video quality. But we'll see, eventually.

mtheory Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 7D2 will probably have 4K to compete with GH4, and 5D4 will probably have super-low light to compete with A7s. But the only feature I care about is MLRAW...really, really hope they don't plug the hole in the new gen of bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablogrollan Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I imagine the 7DMkII will have low light capabilities similar to the C100-C300 or better, and probably a much needed enhancement of dynamic range (7D and 5DMkIII don't even get to 12 stops), better scaling (no line skipping) but I doubt it will have 4K video. That would make the 1DC totally obsolete, and to a certain extent the C300 (although it still would have better ergonomics, better codec, XLR inputs and built in NDs). Probably it would be a good chance to implement h.265 with the current bitrate in their video -which theoretically would result in double the current quality-, maybe along some C-log mode that would make it one of the best DSLRs to shoot 1080p, maybe with both mic and headphone jacks...

Zach Ashcraft Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 If it just matched the 1080p my c100 or even came close, if consider it a win. 1080/60 too. But I'm not holding my breath for either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
