Canon just announced a new prosumer DSLR to cover the market between the 50D and the 5D Mark II, although early opinions are that is is closer to the 5D, what with HD video at various frame rates and weathersealing. Here are some specs:
- 18-megapixel CMOS sensor (halfway between the 50D's 15mp and the 5DMII's 21mp)
- Dual DIGIC 4 image processors (you have to go up to the D1's for that)
- 8 frames per second (max 126 JPEG / 15 RAW images)
- ISO 100-12800 (in ISO expansion mode)
- 19 point cross-type AF sensors (fancy)
- Center AF point is 8-directional double cross-type
- 100% viewfinder coverage
- 1.0x viewfinder magnification
- TTL full aperture metering with 63 zone Dual Layer SPC
- 3″ 920k dot resolution LCD display
- 1080p HD video (30fps, 25fps, 24fps)
- 720p HD vidoe (60fps, 50fps)
- Live view mode
- External mic stereo mini jack input
- HDMI output
- Pop-up Flash (that I hear can control your Canon speedlites)
- E-TTL II auto flash with EX-series Speedlites
- 150k actuation rated shutter
Rumored to sell for $1700 body only, or $1900 w/ a kit 28-135mm. It all sounds good to me!
