Found this on FM, and thought it very interesting
Translated from //www.cameraunion.net. Fake or true? Let̢۪s see in a few days:
1.Canon will announce Big M, 45*36 in PMA 2006, no new lenses yet.
2.1.6x, FF and medium format, no 1.3x in the future.
3.Will announce X3-like sensor conceptually but not in production immediately
4.The maximum resolution for FF will reach 30MP. Canon will concentrate on upgrading lenses for DSLR in the future.
5.The MSRP for the new 20D upgrade body will be $1200
6.EVF will be used in the consumer DSLRs only in the future.
My thoughts
1.Big M - medium format body? Now that is exciting, but scary for those in that market now I'll bet.
2. no biggie on the 1.3x to me.
3. Like the foveon? Nice tech info, but year(s) away.
4. 30mp?? Yo mamma, what a file size that'll be!
5.Yes! YAHOO! WHoopee! I was expectin' $1500. I'll have $300 more to spend on sumthin...alienbees i suspect!
6.OMG, NO! Not in an SLR - it them becomes an interchangeable lens prosumer cam - which would be an interesting item, now wouldn't it? Pop out a 3000D at 7mp with a (cheap) 18-200 lens but it can take any canon EOS lens... Hmmm...
The big release is on the 21st or 22nd...less than a week!

Why not? But just hope it could be a very high resolution EVF, so that manual focusing isn't so painful :) On some consumer cameras with live-preview, the camera actually shows how bright/dark the final output will be, so it makes guessing on the light meter much easier! |

To me it isn't an SLR then. No mirror, no direct viewing throught the lens, then it's not an SLR.
It is an interchangeable lens prosumer camera.
there are interchangeable lens rangefinders, they are not SLRs.
there are now camers with live EVF views throught the lens - they are not SLRs.
This new breed is not an SLR.

SLR = Single-lens reflex and yes the E-330 is that with EVF, it uses another image sensor for the EVF. Maybe you ment new breed of SLR:) |

| I love the sound of that $1200 MSRP, but I hate the sound of the EVF in the low-end cameras. Hopefully the 35D excluded??? |

You have the choice either EVF or OVF through the lens.
It's an SLR, just a new breed of it.

I love technology :)
Well maybe Olympus (and whichever company that follow) will give it a new name. Maybe a ED-SLR or something :)
p/s: Some die-hard film users still wont admit that digital cameras are really cameras, LMAO!

I think the E330 is a real innovation :)
It's a digital-SLR alright, no doubt about that.
Just look at the how it works below, in the image.

If I got it right, the E330 has an optical viewfinder AND a live-preview LCD that is EVF :) It's the best of both worlds! Something the Sony-R1 almost had been, but didnt really. |

Could come very soon (between one to three years). Canon has been working on that technology for at least two years now (about two years ago I first heard about this technology from Canon).
It is also said that Canon is working on tech that shuts down the photonreceptor just before it blows out, to avoid those ugly blow out sections and to retain some detail = more DR.
IMO: EVF's suck.

That camera has been discussed here. The way this is implemented it is the worst of both worlds. An underperforming LCD and a dimmer viewfinder with irritating limitations.

| Personally I don't like EVF! I'd prefer it if they stuck to an optical viewfinder myself! |

| In the last issue of Black&White Photography there was a small notice about a new sensor chip developed in UK, with a dynamic range more than a 100 times greater and power consumption about 10 times smaller than in any sensor available today. That would mean 21 bit raw images. The chip is not commercial yet, but in a few years it will probably hit the market. |
