this is my opinion, Canon will release the next full-frame and call it the 5Dmark3. it will basically be a full-frame 7D. they are not going to re-invent the wheel because the 7D is a class on it’s own, 24fps, dual-digix IV, updated AF, 8-frames/sec…etc.

they will reserve the 3D brand when their next generation of the c-mos sensor, the digix-5 is released.

cameras are like cel phones, there are plenty of technology out there to make the best, but they slowly creep it on us for the profit margins!

They need to do something to salvage the pro-shooter market. If you google around…lots of pro’s are dumping their Canon equipment for Nikon, due to the horrible AF of the 5DMKII.

A full frame 7D please Mr Canon. I could earn a living with that. Please no more crop frame. The same price as the 5D2 would be helpful!!

would be great if they turned the video capturing HD power into HDR capture and a much higher burst rate of fps.

i mean u have a look at that one camera doing 60 fps+ even tho its crappy res its still something a lot of pro photographers would love to do capture everything very fast and not miss a beat.

better autofocus would be great something faster and smarter along with some of the cool features some of the smaller cameras have ( swivel/tilt screen hopefully OLED) etc.

hell why not add a mini SSD drive in there as well?/ get rid of those old fashioned mirrors even with the dust cleaning system you still have to clean your camera if you change lenses a lot. not to mention it takes a lot of energy/makes a lot of noise. built in wireless file transfer. a more water/dust/drop proof body. and a much longer lasting/faster charging battery! heck i could keep going on :)

nomadic99@hotmail.com rant and rave to me some of ur ideas too !

More intelligent AF system to replace the ancient 5D’s, more frames per second firing rate, better weather sealing and keeping the resolution of the 5D Mk II? Would make me want one real bad.

@Basheer – You say “I am not a pro,a beginer.” If you are a beginner, I would invest more time and money into learning (e.g., books, seminars, etc.) and shooting than gear. The 20D is still a great camera. If you haven’t outgrown it yet and it’s still working, then there’s no real reason to upgrade.

enough with the new camera’s ,bring us updated lenses that can cope with the IQ that the sensor offers,i have a 5d2(yup my credit is still good..or was) and i put the 100-400 for sale within days,it served me well on the 40d but man…absolutely awful on the mk2,how about you do a silent upgrade and use that fancy new coating on all the lenses,just a thought
ps:i don’t think there will be a 3d,mostly because it’s already here in the form of the 5d(well,minus a few features here and there :P ) i’m hoping for a fast rate/full frame/10-12mp/excellent high iso replacement for the 1.3x 1d III

I don’t know the history of the 3D rumors, but I would love to see a full-frame Canon DSLR with most of the features of the 5D Mark II (and perhaps a higher-spec autofocus system with – dare I say it?- Eye Control Focus!), but without the video system that has so many people wetting themselves with excitement. I shoot still pictures; I don’t have the hardware, software, or mindset to shoot videos. If I needed a camera for that purpose, I’d buy a camcorder.

I hope something like this actually comes out. I’ve heard rumors of Sony prepping for a cheaper full-frame camera too.

Either way, I’m still going for a 5D MK II. They’re so hard to get your hands on. I figure that if a full-frame camera like this comes out MK II bodies may stop moving so quickly and Canon will try to replace the body ASAP.
