new 10d mkII with 1.3x sensor

Folks I just heard from a friend that Canon are going to release their
next 10d mk2 with the same sensor as the 1DmkII and that its
going to be announced in October and with cost of $1,800 approx.

I for one am not really impressed at the huge price increase for just 2
more MP

Can someone confirm whether there is any truth in this?

Hard to believe that. That would kill 1D markII.

No it wouldn't.
Sports photogs (a major segment that is buying the Mark II) would have ZERO
use for a 3FPS version. The draw of the Mark II to pros is in frame rate,
robustness of the body, and extreme handling of bursts (40 frames non-stop).
Add to this the complete control of the 1V/1D, with it's flash synch, spot
meter, and a large list of advances, and you're really talking about FAR
more than a measly two mega-pixel advantage over teh 10D.

You are right on. There is no way that Canon would do this. It would be like
taking the same sensor used in the 10D and putting it in a cheaper body,
disabling some of the features, adding a lens, slowing down the burst rate,
and reducing the buffer then selling it for about 1/3 the price.


You had me going there for a while Bob ... LOL.

Sure sounds like the dRebel if you change 1/3 to 2/3, doesn't it?


My thoughts too :-)

Ya, that would be a lot like Intel making a chip then disabling some of the
features and selling it to a broader market for less money. They sure as
heck would never do that. :-)

Just couldn't be done. No way. If they did that 10D sales would drop like
a
rock.



LOL. Apples & oranges. You're talking about a $500 difference between the
10D & Digital Rebel. I'm talking about a $3,000 difference between the 10D
& 1D MkII. Get a grip.

Ya, you're right. Can't be done. Won't be done. Impossible. It would be like
back when the D30 was a hot item fro about $3000.00 having Canon introduce a
4.15 mp camera with a CCD sensor and then try to sell it for, oh, I don't
know, maybe over $5,000. It's just something that couldn't happen. Wouldn't
sell, wouldn't be a success.

Gotcha. You did me in again.

I know. Every time we want to use our 10D outdoors we have to build a
building over the entire area. Expensive and inconvenient.
