New model(s) to be announced on January 24th

[MLphoto]

The moment you all have been waiting for...

Hi folks

According to this Northlight Images rumours page (http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_5d2_3d_7d.html) the "next new Canon product will be announced on January 24. 2008, a week before PMA."

So will it be the '450D', the '5D MkII', both or neither? http://www.cameralabs.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif hope the 450D does not come out because i just got my XTI last month, i would feel like crap if a new one came out and i just got my new one thinking this would be around for a while before a new comes out...

[AirBrontosaurus]

First, a new model's release doesn't do crap to the old one. Your 400D will still take pictures just as well as it did the day before the new model was released. If you get mad every time they release a new model, you're going to hate photography. Instead, ask yourself if your current body does what you need it to. If it does, then you're fine no matter what Canon releases.

Secondly, the 400D is really new, so I doubt they will be replacing it. They just finished fixing the 1d III, the 1Ds III is just now starting to be sold, and the 40D is newer than the 400D. So, really the only thing they would reasonably release is the 5D mk II. It's pretty old by Canon's new-model standards.

Dude, you focus on gear way too much. Every thread of yours I've seen around here has been around gear insecurity. Why can't you just enjoy the XTi and go out to shoot? It's an excellent camera. Infact, I'm considering purchasing another soon just because the prices are so good right now.

To answer the question, it's probably both the 5D replacement and the 450D. But the point is SO? A 5D II (or whatever it's going to be called) isn't automatically gonna make the 5D redundant, and a 450D isn't gonna make the 400D redundant. Heaven knows why you're losing sleep over it.

yeah maybe im just a little crazy :lol:, i shoot ALLOT in the summer, so thats why im asking to much about everything.

i just think the 450d is true because the xti prices dropped fast.

I'd say it's the 'newbie measurbator syndrome' (NMS). :lol:

Seriously dude, just go out and enjoy your camera. I've never been dissappointed with my 400D, and I've owned two copies already. Planning a third.. or perhaps a 450D if that turns out to be good.

The end result are your photos and plenty of people have already told you that the XTi is an excellent camera. Would you rather be losing sleep over silly gear issues or spending that time improving your photography?

gear is not a probley or anything, these is only 1 big probley

i dont know what lens to pick
sigma 18-200 is
canon 28-135 is
canon 17-85 is

yup.....

[Collin85]

Like I and many others have already reiterated several times, aim for SEVERAL lenses. Together they will give you much more potential than a single lens which does everything.

If you really want to save money, I'd even recommend the new kit set: 18-55 IS and 55-250 IS.

Or just start off with a Tamron 17-50. It's got a constant f/2.8 aperture. It's a fast lens and the image quality is excellent. Stop dwelling on taking shortcuts and just getting a lens which does everything! Such a lens doesn't exist.

[HyperYagami]

Not to mention no way in hell 450D will come out with a $479 price tag (which is what Dell is selling the 400D for) until months later.

[jdizzle]

I think I still have NMS too!! LOL!:lol:;)

[Jim G]

Of all the cameras to be announced the 5dII seems most likely simply based off what's oldest in the lineup.. we'll see on the 24th though ;)

[S.Horton]

All Canon bodies, for me, will wait until after reports of bug-free operation come in.

Selling 2x30D + EF-S glass to get a 5D FF or Ds II; no reason to get the latest, as I'll never know the difference.

BTW, most people don't care what you post; just post.

[SlowBlink]

I just hope the new models will drop the price of a 30D down another couple bucks. That's all I need and can't wait to get one.

[Tony4x4]

Hi there,

I have been watching this forum for about 2 months. I am in the market to purchase 2 x 5D and decided to wait until January before making the purchase.

Not familiar with the Canon product roll out cycle, normally how long after the announcement of a new model is it available for purchase?

Thanks

Tony

[col4bin]

I am in the market for a FF camera for landscape work. I am waiting to see if the the "new 5d" has features I want, most notably some sort of weatherproofing.

[MLphoto]

I got some information, this is only what i can tell you...

Canon will be possibly releasing a new SLR camera in Spring 2008 body will cost 1400-1800, this SLR camera is a work in progress, and may happen or may not.
when taking pictures you can now look at the LCD, LCD will be 3".

[Collin85]

That's pretty vague. 1400-1800? That's not a 450D and it sounds way too cheap to be the 5D successor, unless Canon is about to unleash a new 'budget' FF series - and that wouldn't be anywhere near 1400.. more like 2000+.


when taking pictures you can now look at the LCD, LCD will be 3".

So it will have Live View on a 3" screen? What a revelation there. :lol:

i hope they put IS in all their L primes haha....what's the chance of that?

[blackshadow]

It wouldn't surprise me to see Canon release something to go head to head with the D300. At present Nikon has the jump on the 40D with the D300 but in the rest of the DSLR range more than hold their own.

[narlus]

here's hoping that the 5D mkII is unmasked in 5 weeks' time!

It has already dropped $200 bux since I bought mine in August.

[XPHALCON]

Been skimming thru this thread, and like many, am anticipating what the new 5D will offer. But I think we all have one thing in common: FULL FRAME. Any new features will not impress me, just the fact from going from 1.6x to FF. If the new "5D" is affordable, I'll consider, otherwise, the current 5D's will be more affordable.

If Canon announces a 45Mp, 12" live screen, auto dust removal, 82000 ISO, 123fps, AND a 1.8 crop factor, I'll keep my 30D and buy the current 5D.

Anyway, my 2c, and Merry Christmas.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

[openspace]

I heard they're announcing a new double-full-frame digital Elph with 14-600mm f/1.2 L glass, 5:1 macro capabilities, bounce and swivel flash, built in infrared and an asian hooker to boot. YEOW!

[MLphoto]

:oops::oops::oops::cry:

[Collin85]

I hear they're announcing a 800MP cybernetic implant you attach to the back of your cerebral cortex which records your memories down through telepathy before relaying it via. high-frequency radio to your personal computer. Price is only $299.95 RRP, doesn't include the surgery costs.

[kevin_c]

You are all getting silly now... :rolleyes: :lol::lol::lol:

[Yohan Pamudji]

It will also feature a compass in the grip, and this thing that tells time.

[Proctorr]

I wish it was a 40D stuffed in a pro body.

[chauncey]

That cybernetic implant wouldn't work as it would be subject to our own interpretation of the images, much like "truth" is subject to interpretation.

[I Simonius]

that's waht they said when sliding doors that sensed you needed them to open, was first suggested

[roqdawg]

You'll shoot your eye out with that.

[SuzyView]

I am not in the market for another cam, but would love to see what Canon has in response to the other camera makers' offerings. I think Canon will come out with a new 5D that will knock our socks off, but at a good $2500 price tag. Imagine that?

[S.Horton]

Can I have one with x-ray capabilities?!

:eek::lol:

...friend says Canon doesn't have fixed dates.

[openspace]

That cybernetic implant wouldn't work as it would be subject to our own interpretation of the images, much like "truth" is subject to interpretation.

Isn't that what ALL photography, art, writing is?

[chauncey]

Now we debate "what is photography", is it what the camera sees or is it how we manipulate that image to be what we want to see.

[MLphoto]

DAMNIT MY TRICK DIDN'T WORK :) :( :(

i thought some off you would fall for that rumor of that new canon camera coming out in march, i guess i cant lie good :(

[Collin85]

i guess i cant lie good :(

True. Unless you put more effort into it, you can't blame us either. 1400-1800? That doesn't fit into the existing Canon lines, taking into account the 40D had just been released.

3" Live View? That's not a distinction.

So yeah, you can't lie good.. and it's probably not best to try anymore since you've already destroyed your credibility with this thread. :lol: *pats*

That cybernetic implant wouldn't work as it would be subject to our own interpretation of the images, much like "truth" is subject to interpretation.

#1: Wrong interpretation. ;) Perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly enough - by 'memories', I mean what we see through our eyes. So instead of having to explicitly use an external device (a camera) to capture the shot, the scene through our eyes is directly recorded to the implant. THAT isn't subjective.. unless you have eyesight issues.

#2: Suppose we follow your interpretation. How would that make it not work? All is means is that what's recorded down is subjective to our own interpretations.. but the fact of the matter is it's still getting recorded down. Some may even argue this quirk is advantageous!

The 5D isn't a sports camera, it doesn't really need weather sealing.

[Tom W]

The 5D isn't a sports camera, it doesn't really need weather sealing.

Perhaps, but it sometimes rains on a Wedding. Or Junior's football tournament game. And the 5D is perfectly capable of shooting both without any trouble.

[VTSHEP1]

I am certain i am not the average use case but I think weather sealing could be helpful for non-sport and non-wedding shooters also. I routinely shoot in the rain or otherwise wet conditions when around NYC, this also happens for sure in nature. I actually fully submerged my 20D by accident once, it took 3 days, but it dried out and started to work again. Besides water, i have been to some extremely dusty environments in urban areas also.

[BrantG]

I'm curious to see what gets announced, but am more interested with pricing.

[jbuk1975]

The 5D isn't a sports camera, it doesn't really need weather sealing.


yes its strengths are not sports, but if your out taking landscape shots and the heavens open up then you need weather sealing

[lowcrust]

Also, it's an excellent under-water camera and when you pop it in and out of the UW housing there can be water dripping onto the camera. A simple weather sealing would help quite a bit with that (I'm especially thinking of the memory card slot).

[Stime187]

The 5D isn't a sports camera, it doesn't really need weather sealing.

Wow. That's completely wrong...

How about the multitude of Landscape photographers that swear by the 5D?

[CoolToolGuy]

All the DSLRs that I have already tell time - Yours will, too if you set the date/time correctly. . . :D

Have Fun,

[ANGUS]

Only the Canon tele lenses are sealed anyway so no point.

If you UW housing leaks i would stick that seal in the bin NOW no water should get in ANY UW Housing.

[lowcrust]

I'm not talking about leaking UW houses. I'm saying you are fiddling with the camera in wet environments. I mean just the fact that your hair is dripping is enough to want some sort of WS.

[CoolToolGuy]

Only the Canon tele lenses are sealed anyway so no point.

Not true - the 24-70 L, the 16-35 L II, the 17-40 L (with a filter), the 24-105 L, and the 14mm L II are all dust and moisture resistant. ;)

Have Fun,

You misunderstood him. Of course he's not referring to it actually leaking UNDERwater.

[ANGUS]

Ok sorry for the misundersdtanding.

[lowcrust]

No problem. And definitely agreed on the leaking seal, if that was the case!!!

[MLphoto]

well about 14-15 more days till they announce there new products... I hope something like a 17-200IS 3.5-5.6 lens comes out, I would get that right away.

[MLphoto]

I also hope a new Canon XTX 450D comes out, with 12MP etc.. maybe also a 3" lcd.
I wouldn't get it right away, I would leave my XTi to about after summer, and after summer i would upgrade, posibley the prices would go down just a little.

and i think the 450D may be the last camera in this series, well if they made a 450D i dont think they would need to upgrade that one for over 2 years.

[sapearl]

Well, if they did something like that it should be a constant aperture of of either 3.5 or whatever...nothing that floats between the two. That would make for superior focusing.

I hope to hell it's the 5D upgrade, sold the Mk2N and have $2600 burning a hole in my pocket. Hardly ever used the N because it was just to heavy, plus I figures a 40D / 5D combo would be a better wedding set up than a Mk2 & 40D.

I'm in similar situation and have pretty similar lenses setup, but I'm cracking me head thinking how does 5D compliment 40D, my friends all adviced me to get 2 x 5D instead. But I can't afford it tho.

[blighty]

Yep.

Well, I'm an optimist, so I'm going to pretend this one's going to come off and there'll be a new 5D in 10 days time. Could. Not. Be. More. Excited. Seriously. Someone. Pinch. Me.

I'm not one to blame my tools and have got good use out of my 350D, but the crop factor just really annoys me now, really screws with my composition. I also want to buy a wide angle so I'll probably be looking for a deal on a 5D and 17-40mm, although I may still go Sigma. I unexpectedly came into some money recently so I may well be one of the earliest adopters if they do come out. And then a new Crumpler, and an ND Grad, the boys at Jacobs on New Oxford Street are going to love me.

[rang]

I just hope the new models will drop the price of a 30D down another couple bucks. That's all I need and can't wait to get one.

That's what I'm thinking! I think the new 5D will be priced too high for me so that should free up some used ones. I've been watching those lately but will wait for the new 5D if it comes out the end of this month. If it doesn't, well, I'll see then.

MLphoto,

I spoke with the Canon rep yesterday and confirmed either the 23rd or 24th for the announcement.

So we shall see, eh?

Anyone with a 17-55/2.8 IS and a 70-300 IS. :)

Actually, a 17-200 IS would be a very useful lens. I used to skewer the "superzooms" that had a lot of range. They tend to have barrel distortion at the wide end, and go soft at the long end compared to zooms with a less ambitious range. But they are very versatile, and the latest models from Sigma and (I hear) Nikon are fairly nice.

[MLphoto]

Hey you never know, the quality of this 17-200 lens could be really good, IF it comes out...

[ANGUS]

Since Canon only just released the 18-55 IS and 55-200IS i doubt we will see a 17/18-200
