Looks like we have a successor to the 40D already:

And a few more rumours RE the 5D replacement... billed for Late september ... again "apparently" 😉

Cool.  Well I have just bought a 30D.  An upgrade from a 10D

Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade...discontinue..upgrade..new model..on and on it goes. I hope Canon does not get as bad about new intros and deletions of good cameras as did Nikon for a while.

As soon as i read this threads title i knew there was going to be a link to Northlight images.

I wonder how accurate the rumors are. I doubt there will be anything really innovative.

The 5D is in more need of a replacement. I wonder what Canon got up their sleeve for that.

Question the question. Answer the question. Question the answer...

I wish I knew what I was gonna say :oP

Thanks for the link Richard... Interesting that the quoted price is pretty much 5D (mkII?) territory... that is a lot of ££ for two generations above something which sells for £300 (ie my 30D). I'm tempted to go FF with the current 5D (and upgrade lenses as well) rather than go for the 50D... i'm slightly in need of a replacement for my weathered 30D.

Hooray for Canon, a great camera but let's hope they sorted the "Error 99"

I had Error 99 come up on my 10D a few weeks ago.  I cleaned my contacts on both camera a lenses.  I also changed the little battery the one that keeps the time and date etc.  All seems fine now.  But I still have just upgraded to a 30D

The 50D certainly looks like an impressive camera - makes me wonder just what Canon are going to come up with for the 5 MK II.

inshaala ( ) posted Fri, 29 August 2008 at 6:13 AM

I hope it is dual card support, 25mp FF, 90point af, all cross-type... urm, 10fps and priced at 200 squids with a free 85mm 1.2... nods

:biggrin:

I'm still waiting for a 3-layer/3-chip sensor from Canon. I'm more into dynamic range than pixel amount.

Question the question. Answer the question. Question the answer...

BernieStafford ( ) posted Sun, 31 August 2008 at 3:21 AM

I'm inclined to agree.  To all intents & purposes pixel count is now as high as it needs to be for the vast majority of photographers.

Greatly increased dynamic range will, hopefully, be the next thing that manufacturers concentrate on.

Good point actually...  tho HDR will always be there, so manufacturers will point their product towards a marketable market - and that is the consumer, not the "pro" / "semi-pro" togs who want that increased dynamic range...

(and those were the words of inshaala - ie rich on adam's computer) 😉
