Raw video perhaps ? to get rid of that horrid compression.
More likely, support for a full res (1920×1080) HDMI + audio output for external disk recording through a black magic or aja card/box. That’s all people really want for moving pictures. On board recording is just silly for most things, specifically because of the compression.
3500 MP?
Wow, this is great news. I thought Canon stopped developing new cams.. I heard a rumor Nikon is working on new models also. Could this be true??
the news here was the timeframe – nothing will be released this year.
If you look at the source (CanonRumors.com) there was another bit of info (which I forgot to mention here):
“Canon is committed to improving the mini HDMI connector on the cameras.”
This just going to tick off Nikonians even more. 2 versions of 5D in the time that Nikon refuses to even update the D700 once.
why would that tick me off… that’s how good the D700 is
looks like somebody’s in denial
History will remember the 5Dii as a revolution in DSLR technology while no one will really remember the D700. It’s like Jordan and Malone.
Sounds like someone who’s never shot both cameras…
Well, you don’t have to be Vincent LaForet to say that … it’s pretty much clear.
Makes sense, the 5D line is on a 3 year product cycle.
Just look at the EOS timeline at the bottom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_5D_Mark_II
It’ll be hard to improve on the 5Dii
Not really. That is not to say that the MK II is not a fine camera, because it is, but there are any number of things that come to mind which could be improved.
Some of them should not have taken as long as they have in the way of firmware updates and some of them involve getting the frame rate up by using better DSPs for processing the data bandwitdth generated by the high resolution sensor’s large files. I am sure that people can name any number of other things that can/should be improved. Canon’s autofocus system needs improvement across the entire product lineup. Just look at the number of professional shooters who have moved to the other system specifically because of autofocus issues. That should tell you something.
It will be EVIL
Are the Canon sensors still horrible awful?
Getting better, but still so damn noisy.
