So, Canon Expo rolls around once every 5 years, and we’ve come to expect a blend of awesome new tech that might be released soon, awesome new tech that is unlikely to be released soon, and awesome new tech that is completely fanciful and will probably never see the light of day, soon or otherwise!!
If you follow news on Gizmodo, then you will have seen these already, but I wanted to stick all the links in one place for easy reference:
- How about a 120MP camera, probably to be used for medical imaging;
- How about a 120MP sensor that will do wonders for low light
- 120MP too much? How about a 50MP camera that sees things our eyes can’t!
- All good and well seeing things our eyes can’t, what we really need is an 50MP omnidirectional camera that can see all around!
- And finally, who needs a Red One when you can feast your eyes on Canon’s own 4K concept camera (and this one falls squarely in the “probably won’t see the light of day in this design” category!)
Notice anything missing?? How about a new 1Ds Mk IV??? C’mon Canon, Nikon has been kicking your butt all over the park – don’t get me wrong, 120MP medical and astronomy sensors are definitely cool, but a new 60D is not that interesting to me, and I don’t see much use for the 7D or the 7D Studio. Time to update the 1Ds Canon, surely?
Of course, I wouldn’t say no to some new lenses, although they would work better on the full-frame body I don’t yet have!!
