5dmkII

[JBuk]

It's all just blind speculation at the minute and I don't think anyone is any closer to knowing the spec than they were 12 months ago.

I still believe that there are going to be 2 new FF bodies, maybe not both at photokina but certainly in the enxt 6 months, a 6/7/5DII and a 3D.

The only two things that we can be certain of are that they're going to be full frame and they are going to have more than 12MP.

yeah its all guess work but a lot of it by people in the know

I would think the sensor will definitely have more than 12mp and probably more than the 15mp of the 50d

I`m hoping that the sensor/software has the pixel binning tech to get excellent noise control at high iso albeit at the cost of resolution- not a problem if you dont intend to use them for huge prints


its certainly an exciting time for photographers with so much competition going on

I doubt anyone serious wants or needs more than 12Mp anyway.

Exactly.

To be honest I would prefer a fully manual dSLR. All these features, gadgets and hoohaa's is getting out of control.

It isn't going to retail for less than £2000. Which is a shame.

what makes you think that?

 

[EnglishMack]

How much was the 5D when it was originally released? £2300?

One can only hope they release the Mark II in a similar price bracket to the D700, which you can pick up for between £1500/1600 if you know where to shop.

I hope so to

the price would have to be quite competitive unless the specs totally blow Nikon out the water, I really hope Canon dont price themselve out of the market

This is why I think that there will be two new cameras. 1 to compete with the D700 at a lower price point and 1 as a more flagship model to blow the D700 out of the way. And I agree that the latter will not have an RRP of under £2000. The release price of the D700 was £2k afterall.

However, if Canon price up the top model at ~£2300 then it better have the 1D AF because you pick up a 1D III for that now and they can't afford to give the 3D poor AF.

according to a few sites Canon has called a metting on the 17th Septemeber to make a some product announcements

finally we will be able to put to rest all the rumours and find out who got it right and who was miles away

50d was announced a couple of weeks ago

 

[Phate]

any more news on this?

 

[JBuk]

any more news on this?

only some French site spreading a rumour of it going to be 24mp to match the Sony A900

I think 21 is possible but 24 nah

I`m hoping its going to be as good as the hype suggests

indeed!

Will really depend on the price of the 5D!
