Re: 'Un-Official' pre-PMA Rumor Thread
Ok, after no real rumours for some time I am going to make my predictions for the 1 Series for 2007.
A new 1D series camera will be announced for PMA. It will have a size similar to the 1V, and will be 8.5 fps with a full frame 12.8MP sensor. ISO will now be 100-3200 (extendable to 50 and 6400). There will be a refinement of the 45 focus point system, with more cross sensors.
There will be multiple grips available for the camera, including a WiFi grip, and a basic grip that simply adds battery capacity.
There will be a customiseable button that can be set to MLU.
The camera will be very water-resistant and will have a shutter rated for 200,000 cycles.
Price will be approx US$4500, dropping to under $4,000 within 12 months.
Approximately 3 months later the new 1Ds will be announced. It will be effectively the same camera, but with a 22MP sensor, and a maximum frame rate of 5fps. Price will be $7500, dropping to $7,000 within 12 months
Neither camera will feature internal storage. Neither camera will feature a larger than 24mm x 36mm sensor. There will be no further 1.3x cameras.
Canon will also issue a 40D at PMA - not prepared to speculate re. that.
OK, now this is all speculation, but I reckon it is very close to what is going to happen this year.
