What did the leak give for specs? 18MP (which would be real nice for landscape types, especially with Zeiss coming out with the 18/3.5 Distagon) and a bunch of irrelevent other things for wannabe sports/PJ types too cheap to buy a real sports/PJ camera (5 FPS, CF & SD, Live View). The 1DIII uses two DIGIC III (or is IV?) chips to crunch 100MP per second, so that's 5.5 fps in an 18MP camera. I'd be surprised if the 5D follow on has two DIGICs and two card slots. I'd love it if they bifurcated the 5D into a semi-pro camera with no built-in grip, the 1-series viewfinder, weathersealing, and 5fps, and an amateur camera with the same sensor but one DIGIC, no weathersealing, 2.5 fps, and the current 5D viewfinder. If the body weights were essentially the same, I'd probably blow the extra US$1,000 or US$1,500 for the 1-series viewfinder (pro camera viewfinders, both Nikon and Canon, are seriously wonderful), but I bet that 90% of the people squawking for weathersealing and more fps would buy the cheaper camera (and continue complaining). -- David J.

But would it be bigger sensor than the 1.6 crop Canon uses? 18 MP in 1.6 crop camera limits one, for full use, to the very best in prime lenses. 18 MP would be fine for about a 1.2 or 1.3 crop camera.

Can't even repeat a rumor right... -- David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

Ummmmm .... that's going to make the decision between the 7D and the 5D replacement a hard one, depending on the number of pixels on the new 5D. I have a 30D. The equivalent pixel density at full frame is roughly 20 megapixels. A new 5D would need about 25 or 28 megapixels to make the price difference worth it. Doug McDonald |
