Canon 50D (Rumour)

Saw these specs for the new 50D

1.6x crop
15.1MP --- 4752 x 3168 pixels
JPEG´s + RAW + sRAW1 + sRAW2
Dust Reduction
Digic IV
Auto Brightness Processing
95% viewfinder .97 magnification
9 point af (All Cross Type)
AF Fine Tuning [AF microadjustment]
Face recognition for AF
ISO 100-3200 Expanded 6400-12800
Auto ISO 100-1600
LCD VGA type 920,000
6.3 FPS (high speed) 3fps (low speed)
Buffer: 16 RAW - 60 JPG - 10 RAW+JPG
Pop-Up flash (13/43 at ISO 100)
UDMA Support
Camera User settings C1 & C2
Shutter Actuations: 100,000

These are rumours don't forget, and if you look at the last rumoured specs below you can see that this list is way higher, and my be more akin to a wish list than a spec

Not sure what the auto ISO is, whether that just works in 'green square and prog' modes or whether Canon are going to have some kind of ISO priority (please) mode

Especiall the Digic 1V and ISO 12,800. The real clanger has to be the 'face recognition' though, on an SLR?

Last rumoured spec:

12.2 Megapixel APS-C sensor
Single Digic III Processor
ISO 100-3200 (High 6400)
6-8 fps depending on grip
3" High Resolution OLED LCD
Will accept EF and EF-S Lenses
11 point AF
35 Zone metering
Viewfinder: 100 percent coverage .95 magnification
Pop up flash
New Lithium Ion Battery
Weather sealing slightly better than 40D

Re: Canon 50D (Rumour)

It has to be at least 12mp to compete with the D300 too, which I think a lot of people paid the extra to get over the 40d.

Look forward to seeing some concrete info on the 50D tho - I'm sure it will be a cracker

Re: Canon 50D (Rumour)

Well if the Rumour-Mongers are right, there is going to be an offical announcement on the 26th August.

I would have thought that Canon would have waited until next month for Photokina, but who knows how these corporations operate?

Mysterious ways! Just look at how much exposure Nikon got from the D700 'leak', don't think there was a single photography message board that didn't have at least one thread about it
