I expect Canon to finally produce a really good fast wide EFs prime for $982, say an EF-s 15mm f/1.2X, now that I have purchased a 6D. The X-will be their new line of eXcellent EFs lenses, comparable to the Luxury full-frame line.


Bodies: 60D, 6D.
EFs: 15-85, 10-22
EF: 28-75, 35 f/2 IS, Σ70-200 OS, 100-400L
Flash: 580EX II, 430 EX II

I just received my 6D a hour ago, i'm charging the batteries, I got one free-one monopod-one memory card-and one Canon bag.
All for $1500.

Sold my 5DII,

So far the screen is a lot better, and the shutter is quiet, the AF is a little different, and I like the body, very nice grip, not too heavy!

AA filter removal is for pixel peepers. Would I buy a model with no AA filter? Sure. But I think the results are minimal at best.

I think I'm going to trademark/copyright the phrase "Why do I get coloured bands on my photos?" and charge people £0.01 for each usage. AA filter removal would then make me a millionaire.

well...i wouldn't mind the next 6D having all cross-type AF points even if it remained at 11 :)

1) New firmware update for the 5D3
2) Announcement of a mega-high resolution pro body
3) Leaks of a new prosumer body and rebel
4) Sixteen new point and shoots in chameleon color-changing paint.

I predict that they will finally announce the, long-awaited, 15-750mm f1.2 super-DIM lens. Initial estimates on DPReview guess that the launch price will be around $400. In 2018 it gets launched at a special-offer price of $11,999,999,999,995. Ken Rockwell (reviewing it from the spec sheet) decides it's cheap and nasty.

Yeah, forum gearheads are always after the latest gimmick.

And now is the Dual Pixel CMOS AF found on the 70D.

The Sony has better DR at base ISO. The Canon FF sensors are far less noisy at high ISO. Historically, high ISO performance has been the holy grail. Mirrorless cameras are struggling in the marketplace. Canon has been around long enough to know what matters to the majority of their current and potential customers.

AA filters exist for a reason.

Spend resources, both time and money, to develop features to add to a product they have already sold. Features that you will expect to get for free. Sounds like a great business plan. The 7D version 2 firmware was a unique exception done for a good business reason.

Please enlighten us; what was that good business reason again? Could it be, because the 7D was several years old, they had nothing better to offer, and they wanted to keep customers from moving on?
