New Canon DSLRs?
Canon has a few things on the horizon, potentially. One thing is for sure, there’s some kind of high-megapixel camera like the Nikon D800. But recent rumors prove this could up the game to an entirely new level…
CanonRumors states that there is talk of a new roughly 40-megapixel 1D X-like body out there that was being tested by a few photographers at the Olympics. But here’s the kicker: the frame rate is expected to be fast — 8 frames per second fast. Other things are supposed to bring new features to the DSLR line-up, but those remain secret for now. What do you guys think? People complained about Nikon’s D800 being so slow while the files are to big to handle on average machines. But would this make it all ‘acceptable?’ Canon might really get an edge in, here.
Additionally, the 7D might have an update. If so, it looks like low-noise, 24MP sensor with frame rates around 10fps, ISO up to 25,600, and high speed video options. As the 7D is already incredibly popular for video at its current price-point, an improvement on this line could be good for a lot of you out there, even if only as a backup.
Meanwhile, Nikon has an F on the Better Business Bureau ratings. I couldn’t find a rating for Canon, but I’d take no rating over an F. Might be time for some people to switch when these new bodies come out…
