Canon 3D
Rumors for Canon’s upcoming high MP DSLR suggest that it will essentially be on the same level as a Canon 1-Series DSLR according to the latest tips coming in at Northlight Images. However, there is still no solid info on whether the camera would carry a 1-Series designation alongside the 1D X and 1D C.
Recall that earlier rumors pointed to a 46MP full frame DSLR to be unveiled at PhotoPlus in October 2012 and it was previously rumored to be dubbed the 3D; however, that naming designation no longer seems to hold water. [click to continue…]

Rumors of a high megapixel DSLR from Canon have really been heating up since the 1D X launched with “only” 18.1MP. The rumors persisted after the 5D Mark III rolled in at roughly the same resolution as its predecessor.
Now comes a spec list from Canon Rumors for a Canon EOS 3D rumored to weigh in at a whopping 46MP . . . that’s 10MP more than the current resolution king – the Nikon D800.
Canon EOS 3D Spec Rumors
- 46 MP
- 3.7 frame per second
- Dual DIGIC 5+
- ISO: (25) 50-6400 (12800)
- AF: Same as 1DX
- USB 3
- CF+SD
Even though I used to joke about cameras with resolution at 40MP, Canon has plenty more room to work with on a full frame image sensor given that it developed a 120MP APS-H sensor more than two years ago. And we just thought the megapixel wars were over . . . .
Who would pick up a 46MP Canon DSLR? What price would you be willing to pay for this camera?

A tipster recently sent me word that the Canon 5D Mark II would remain in Canon’s lineup in the near future. However, another new DSLR model would be released soon (instead of a 5D Mark III) and would be a step-up from the 5D Mark II. [click to continue…]

Rumors of a Canon EOS 3D have been around since the original Canon 5D was released (maybe before it was released). The film-based EOS 3 was a very popular camera, and still brings a decent penny in good, used condition. Canon Rumors received a tip from a confidential source yesterday that brings a bit of a resurgence to the fabled EOS 3D.
I’ve been told, that the EOS 3D is coming. My source sad to me it will be announced after the replacement from the Nikon D300. It is going to be something between the 1D MarkIII and the 50D/60D. The Body is similar to the 5D MarkII. He won´t me to tell something about the specs but said that the D300/D400 will be blown away.
Aside from the totally bogus image above (that’s been floating around the blogosphere and forum world for a couple of years), there’s really no support for such a rumor over the past couple of years that Canon gear heads have been pining for this camera.
Frankly, it seems a bit of an ill fit in Canon’s current lineup. The camera would presumably be situated between the Canon 5D Mark II and 1D/1Ds models. That’s really just spreading the top end of cameras a little too thin.
Enough of my commentary . . . What do you think? Is there a place for a Canon 3D? What’s the price point need to be for you to buy one?
