Lots of rumours (note the u in the spelling my American friends 😉 ) for absolutely ages on this one. It’s a replacement for the the 50D and will sit between the T2i/ 550D and the 7D. Got proper controls on it like the 7D, as in two dials…nice.
Chatter about improved video functions such as moire reduction are all unconfirmed but hey, wouldn’t it be awesome if it did! Articulating screen looks likely from the sneaky photos shown below…I am certain we will hear more soon…especially with big events like the Canon Expo in New York coming up (which I will be at, hope to see you there!) and Photokina.
The Canon Expo is entry by request only click on the above link and register. It’s purely down to numbers so register now! Great speakers as you can see below!
We are hearing all sorts of rumours about the 1Ds mkiV. RAW recoding being the big one (some of you may remember my April 1st blog!)...again, let us see what happens! The market is moving fast…Nikon and Sony are coming out with better DSLRs with video and of course there are video cameras coming out with large sensors too.
Exciting times!

Is there any news about a new Full-Frame HDSLR? Wanna go Full-Frame but not buy the old Stuff, as I really hope that the newer HDSLRs will be build a little more with Video taking in Mind.
Any Idea?

“replacement for the the 50D” with video?
and sits below the 7D?
hmmm, I might be able to afford that 🙂
many more would.
I’m still waiting for a 5D mkIII – but I might just get tempted. Bying a “cheap” replacement to my 50D, just for the sake of video!
If you are after a 5d Mark 3 in the hopes it will have 60fps, just buy twixtor with a 5d mk2
twixtor is FAR too limiting for slow motion, it works amazingly for certain things but is no replacement for 60fps
Yeah, the 5DmkIII is what I am waiting for also. Although I guess the longer it is before that is released, the better it will be. I can wait. Unless one of these other companies release something with a global shutter.
global shutter? don’t hold your breath!
Auto focus in HD?
RAW video mode (for the 1D) would be incredible – as well as a faster CMOS chip. Even if the camera gave you a better video capture than 4:1:1 (or 4:2:0 for our British friends 🙂 that would be great.
Personally the I haven’t run into issues with the current codec, but I have with rolling-shutter which makes it impossible to stabilize footage in post.
Well, seeing that I just bought a 5D Mark II a week ago, the last thing I want to hear about is a Mark III coming soon 🙂
Well at least I’ll get to play for the time being if something is announced… And coming from the commecial/editorial photography world I need the practice in shooting before I start worrying about new camera features.
mark iii?
Are you coming to photokina as well! You HAVE to come to Cologne eventually, might as well be at a Photography fair!
afraid not
I see the “camera record” button in that picture. Looks like video functionality to me!!
Swivel screen is a game changer – it’s the only reason I ever use a monitor (which are ALL WAY TOO BIG for run and gun)
I just hope my z-finder will adapt! 😉
Is it just me or does anyone else feel that the monthly upgrades in technology are annoying? It use to take years for new technology to take the place of old technology…now it can take months or sometimes weeks. Where does it end? It has to plateau somewhere, right? We’ll all go broke trying to keep up. Maybe that’s the idea?
Are you kidding? That is DEFINITELY the idea.
What’s the alternative — for manufacturers to sit on new ideas, hoping they don’t get beat to the punch by the competitors? You don’t HAVE to buy it, of course, but when you are ready to purchase you will be glad for every improvement that has happened since you got your last new camera.
Also, unless we break them, our old cameras are still JUST AS GOOD as they were when we bought them (the 5DMkII is better, after the firmware upgrade), regardless of what else comes out. My old D30 (NOT 30d) still takes as good a photo (all 3 megagpixels of it) as it did when I bought it new in 2001 for $3500! So the release of a 5DMkIII won’t make the MkII any less of a camera. Of course I will still want one…
Keep the new ideas and products coming, please!!
I don’t have a problem with innovation…just the fact that the latest, greatest innovations are deemed antiquated in 6 months.
Just when you decide to jump on the bandwagon of the “next great thing,” another bandwagon goes speeding by you.
I personally think that there has to be a leveling off from this crazy pace. At some point the innovations become less and less meaningful. It’s building towards an exponential fall off. It’s kind of like the SPF numbers in sun block lotion…at a certain point, the changes in the spf numbers starts to mean less and less. (100 SPF is not twice as good as 50 SPF).
That’s my hope anyway…otherwise we all spend our time and money chasing the “dragon” haha.
As said before : just cos a new camera comes out doesn’t make our current cameras outdated all of a sudden.
Ask yourself if you apply the same reasoning to lenses : does the release of a brand new lens with autofocus and better optics suddenly turn our older Canon, Vivitar or Zeiss lens obsolete ?
Haha.. although I thought Nikon were developing one? A smaller size though.
Heard on a rumor site that the Canon 1Dsmiv will have a 30mp sensor. Wow!
I hope not. I would rather it had less MP like the D3s.
Agreed….to me more MP normally means one thing…more noise
I heard the Photographer Tom TIll talk about a “35mp camera from Canon”, a couple of months ago. I don’t know if he just spoke of a rumor or if he actually had some inside knowledge…
nice nice. So if they do RAW video one assumes they`ll update the rest of the fleet? Your thoughts anyone/??
no
There is also the Nikon D3100 around the corner rumored to have continuous autofocus in video mode. Should cost around £350/$450.
The Specs on the Nikon D95 that leaked are impressive as well. 1080p video with 39 AF points, a more “pro” body and better RAW processing. All for a price point of $1100
Hoping to hear some exciting news from this canon expo, for sure. I’m picking up a 550d soon (or should I buy the 60d instead?) to play around with / use for school right now, and holding off on buying a 5d until the mk3 comes out.
Various rumor sites (I know, not too credible) are saying it could come out next fall… so here’s to hoping I can get by with a smaller sensor until then!
Also, how soon after it comes out will we get a mk3 training vid? 😉
Does anyone have a time table on when the mark iii will come out? Earliest + Latest projections?
Your guess is as good as mine
Hey Philip,
Just registered for the Canon Expo and got my ticket! Can’t wait to see you there!
See you at the Canon Expo Philip!!!
Will be great to meet you and talk.
