I was browsing and found out that Canon has just released a new camera I had been hoping they would release back in April 04. It is a little low in the megapixels, but it takes 60 frames per second and instead of using a bayer filter has 3 separate CCDs, one for each color. Just in case you think it is a P&S, it can mount interchangeable lenses, including the EF series.

You think you can machine gun with your 1DM2, 60 beats 8 almost any day.

Oh yeah the buffer.. about 216,000 frames at full resolution.

The above should not be taken too seriously, but the camera (or should I say Camcorder does exist and they just announced it, The sucessor to the XL-1s.

Just for the Fun of it.....

60fps? Successor to the XL1? Low resolution? Sounds like it's a video camera.

edit: I didn't read the last part where you said you were joking.

Yeah.. the XL1 is a "dreamy" semi-rpo video cmara.. that has interchangable lenses.. including EF lenses!!!! (with adapter)

But I thought the XL-1 was allready on the second version..
