60D due?when its coming n what featurs?

[opz]

when 60D is coming n what you people think is coming in 60d? any idea?

[pknight]

Nobody knows. Speculation is futile. Canon is full of surprises. The only thing I would consider a sure bet is video.

[opz]

i think it will be same 15 mp with more than 6.3 frame-per-second (fps)
DIGIC 5 processor
wot else?

[dannygt]

I'd like a 35mm f1.8 lens first....!

Then a 60D.

I think it will handle a video mode, the 5D MKII has one and the T1i to, so it's xxD turn.

I hope it won't get too much megapixel.

[opz]

i want to buy camera these days..i have nikon d70s..dont know what to do,buy a 40d or 50 d or wait for 60d
i have tammy 17-50 and want to buy 55-250 IS with 85mm1.8

[timnosenzo]

I would check the rumor forum, where this thread will likely wind up. ;)

[brownbugger]

video will be there, perhaps they will bump up the mp as well.

[wernersl]

Lets get this moved to the RUMOR MILL!

[itzcryptic]

Looking at the 50d thread, it was just announced last August. I would think they would wait until august to announce the new one with 12 months between products?

Well, it USED to be 18 months between new releases, but Canon changed that a bit when they released the 50D.

Here's how is went before that:

10D: Announced 27-Feb-03
20D: Announced 19-Aug-04
30D: Announced 21-Feb-06
40D: Announced 20-Aug-07

But then:
50D: Announced 26-Aug-08

So who knows. Canon did claim that the 50D doesn't replace the 40D, but I doubt they will continue to have 2 cameras in this range. Personally I think people are better served by the 18 month product cycle.

18 months is good. 2 years would be good too. I would rather have major updates vs. the minor updates every couple of months. When I upgrade bodies, I want to 1) have time to get some use out of my old one and 2) see major improvements vs. minor ones.

[benesotor]

I just need the 60d to come ASAP!!!

[Ziffle]

try www.canonrumors.com and wait a month.....

Later,

[Lowner]

I'd vote for 35mp, no video, no direct print nonsense, noise problems sorted before release not after, a dedicated MLU button, no increase in fps.

Oh, and a greater dynamic range O Great Canon.

Never going to happen, but I can dream about the possibility.

[foxesamu]

Why? What is it that the 50D doesn't do for you? Please don't say video. I'm all for the viral spread of video on DSLRs but if you need a video camera so immediately just buy a camcorder that already exists.

[Skippy29]

HD Video

I dont have the money to buy a camcorder AND a good DSLR?, and i dont see the point of buying the 50d, and buying a HD camcorder if i can just wait. I dont want the video just for the fun of it either...

[gary88]

I want full-time live view (viewfinders are silly), 2160p video (1080p has been on the 5D2 for what, 5 months already? old news), articulating LCD screen (so I can take pictures of things behind me without having to turn around), and 1D-series AF, built in grip, 10fps, 100% viewfinder, and weathersealing (because I don't want to pay more to get a 1D).



;)

[Geoffery]

How about the 60D having these features:

15.1MP APS-H* CMOS sensor (1.3x crop)
45-point AF (from 1D-series)
98% viewfinder coverage
7fps maximum shooting
Dual DiG!C 4 processors
3.0-inch OLED screen
Options for JPEG XR and sRGB II
Full HD 1080P Video mode with Live View AI Servo AF tracking
Uses LP-E6 Battery and BG-E6 Battery Grip (5D Mark II's)
UDMA-specs CF & SDXC slots

*With the 50D been criticised almost everywhere with its poor resolution factor and average high ISO noise performance, and the expected 1D Mark III's successor most likely being an FF model, ditching the 1.6x sensor in favour of an APS-H version may make more sense for Canon to compete in the midrange DSLR segment esp since Nikon's D300 may see a successor soon during the 2009 Fall/Autumn period. Of course, going 1.3x way would make EF-S lenses and other 3rd-party digital-only lenses incompatible with this type of 60D specifications.

[Lowner]

Reading the various wants demonstrates Canons dilemma. They are never going to please all of us.

For instance, using Geoffery's list and comparing to my own needs:

1. 15.1 MP nowhere near high enough, I want at least double that.
2. I actually agree here, and it may well happen simply to counter Nikons version.
3. Why not 100%? Nikons certainly used to do this, so its perfectly do-able.
4. Irrelevant to me.
5. Irrelevant again, Canon do what they need to do, I'm not bothered how it's achieved.
6. I think its bound to have at least a 3 inch screen.
7. Irrelevant to me as I only shoot RAW.
8. God, I fervently hope not, but sadly quite likely in some stupid form or other.
9. I really am not bothered about what batteries they use.
10. Beyond me, I give up.

The above is only to show how two of us can be so different, and I'm certain every one of us would create a completely different spec.

I agree with most of what is here. APS-H would be a breakthrough as long as the new autofocus. I don't really care for the different JPEG options, but that is just a personal preference. If they installed the 1D autofocus system into the XXD series, than I would upgrade. That would probably be the only reason at this time since my 40D fulfills my needs in general.

[squall1977]

Does any one have any idea how venues, for big concerts among other things, that don't allow video recording devices gonna react to pro photographers with a camera that can record in hd?

They'd follow the dodo. Eventually.

Then you're in the market for a different type of camera.

With an APS-C sensor (at least one using a Bayer array sensor design), the 15MP of the current 50D is now diffraction-limited if you stop down to roughly f8 or smaller.

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/50d.shtml

That strikes me as about the useful limit of pixel density. So, if you want more pixels you need either a larger sensor or a new sensor technology. Absent the latter, full-frame seems your only presently available option. (Note that they will hit the same limit at roughly 39MP.)

So it seems that we really are near the end of the megapixel race, based on physical limits to current technology. People can wish for as many megapixels as they like but physical laws couldn't give a toss.

So, either save for a larger sensor camera or hope for a different technology (which might side-step this limit for a while by, say, using only one photosite per pixel).

[Lowner]

Mike,

I've yet to find difraction a major issue. I shoot landscapes and motorsport in the main, which have very different requirements. The landscapes are generally shot at f/16 or f/22 at the hyperfocal distance to get maximum DoF and I have rarely had a problem. Motorsport on the other hand needs reach, and the tele lenses to get it are VERY expensive. The only way this side of my hobby can be justified is to go for higher and higher pixel densitys and use the longest lenses I can afford.

Agreed there are currently side effects to the use of smaller, more tightly packed photosites. But I believe R & D will find a way around that.

I have read that before the sound barrier was broken, people claimed it was impossible. Now doubts are being expressed about the theory that breaking the light speed barrier is impossible after some recent experiments have raised doubts. Just because there is a problem with Canons latest crop of cameras does not mean we will not see ever increasing pixel counts.

AP ran an article last week comparing the Sony 25 megapixel sensor against interpolated smaller ones from Nikon. Sonys came out on top simply because of the pixel count.

[District_History_Fan]

when 60D is coming n what you people think is coming in 60d? any idea?

32mp APS-C that is virtually worthless above ISO200, though it will have an ISO25,600... Ans of course, video... ;)

[Lowner]

ISO 12, 25 and 50 would be nice, to avoid having to use ND filters.

[andreasthess]

I would like to see Canon's "Eye Control" system back on EOS cameras some day.
And i would like to see some decent weatherproofing in the new 60D.
15mp is more than enough for me,if the sensor size remains small.
Lower ISO (as the Lowner said before) sounds great also.

[Karl Johnston]

Nobody knows. Speculation is futile. Canon is full of surprises. The only thing I would consider a sure bet is video.
:p
We are Canon Consumers.

Resistance is futile.

15.1 mp is a disappointment.

[Lore]

:rolleyes:

The 60D will remain at 15.1mp. There will be an upgrade of the current sensor.

This is fantastic news.

[Lowner]

I wanted a lot more. If that's true, I will not be buying a 60D.

[brecklundin]

how about adding in-camera wireless ETTL flash control for Canon brand flashes? Heck if they could do a co-branding/licensing thing with one of the better RF wireless trigger makers even cooler! But I would settle for IR built into the body. I mean if we have to live with added video why not get some real value in return?

You know, since it is all rumor and all. ;)

I've been wanting Canon to implement in-camera wireless E-TTL for the longest time. It would save me from having to buy a 580EX or an ST-E2 to use my 430EX off camera - I'd rather dump that money into a body that would be capable of doing so.

I bet Canon would sell a lot more flashes too. Hobby folks like me balk at spending $300 extra/flash to get it off camera with ETTL so we opt for the el cheapo triggers. But I would have been happy to spend $200 more for the body if it let me have the off camera flash flexibility down the road. And Canon's on camera IR trigger is just not worth the price since it's, well, IR with the limitations that entails. If it was say, $100, yup I might be willing to live with them. But add RF ETTL to bodies and let users buy say a $50 Rx module for legacy flashes while new flashes have an Rx built into them. Cables are simply a pain as well as frustrating to deal with in a smaller space or outdoors.

[Jhap33]

i wish we could do like a group buy =P~ something like 1-10people would be $1500 then 11-20peple would be 1300 and then 20 and more people would be $1999.99 hahahahah.

:lol: on the antique!

What's with the two dials,. that would just be confusing :-)

[arkphotos]

I just took a canon survey that seemed to be gauging interest in an articulating lcd.
Since I answered I use my 40D most often, I assume this is to gauge interest on an xxD body...
