new canon eos 50d Anonymous
A 15.1 MP CMOS sensor
A Canon Digic 4 processor (the translation says "digital video" processor, but I'm not sure I can trust the translation 100% and even if I can I don't know that calling it a "video" processor means anything)
Anti-shake feature built into the camera (hard to believe, but great if true). The translation I have is "Anti-Shake feature built-in camera, due to lower Shoudou the fuzzy images, taken more fun!". I'm not sure what "Shoudou" is! I suspect they are probably talking about an IS system, with the IS in the lens. I really do find it hard to believe that Canon would offer body based IS at this stage of the game.
Additional measures to eliminate dust on the sensor.
6.3 fps (3fps option)
35 metering zones with evaluative, spot, center weighted and partial metering.
9 cross type AF zones
14-bit A/D
Face Detection
HDMI output
Buffer: 16 RAW - 60 JPEG - 10 RAW+JPEG
Micro AF adjustment
920,000 pixel VGA LCD monitor
Basic ISO range from 100-3200, with 6400 and 12800 available via a custom function.

If anyone would translate the most important stuff from this article it would be great. If there is nothing new that's not in the english article in OP's don't bother.

Canon could be trying to compete with Sony by putting the IS in the body of the 50D. Not sure how the Alpha and the 50D compare in price, though...

Does the 40D have an alloy body? Haven't handled one in a while, but it should be nice, as I always got a really flimsy impression from the lower-end Canons. (Which is actually why I bought Nikon way back in the day when I bought my first SLR, after walking into the store planning on buying a then-brand new Rebel G.)

the 40d has a magnesum alloy just like the d300, so the build quality is superb. The grip is also alot better and bigger than the shitty cheapass crap grip on cheaper canons

If they've jammed 150% of the MP onto the same sensor as my 40D, I think that I'd rather stay with what I've got.
....unless they release that colour scheme...

Bullshit. Unless it is an official announcement then you should know better than to listen to this. These rumours are floating around in their hundreds as every idiot with an opinion decides to pretend they know some "insider information".

You sure about that, I heard 7.

the 40d has 9 why would they drop 2 of them?

I don't know, the D50 had an autofocus motor, why did they drop it?

The 50D does NOT have in body stabilisation... it's a translation error.

Honestly, why on earth would Canon have in body when they've got over 20 lenses with IS.

And even though this will be a great camera, it's not exactly the D300 killer Canon needed.

i'm also hoping this is a teaser for another FF camera... at least this is a move inthe right direction.

Though the 15.1 mp on a 1.6x crop sensor makes me wonder how good the ISO performance will be

>>Though the 15.1 mp on a 1.6x crop sensor makes me wonder how good the ISO performance will be

Technology advances; ISO from a D300 by far out performs my D70 with half the pixel density. So my fair guess will be that the ISO performance on the 15.1MP crop sensor will be quite good.

I would prefer them to improve other aspects of it rather than another increase in the resolution. I don't need "MOAR MEGAPIXELZ!!!" now. ISO, dynamic range, and so on are all better things for them to concentrate on. Squeezing an even higher resolution into that space isn't going to do me any favours.

So would everybody who isn't ignorant or who doesn't shoot commercial work in a studio at ISO 100 all the time who buys into the same useless MORE IS BETTER whoring as someone in Best Buy, despite how they shot on already-exceeded 120 film for years without bitching.

OP here.

this is 50D on 1600 ISO. Looks pretty good.

its official you cocksuckers.

Pretty good considering it's 15MP. Looks like Canon are filling any spaces Nikon's lineup have left out.
>> Einta !!MWv3ICYobCM

Agreed. The thing that I don't get, is why we need more megapixels on crop cameras. The pixel density is already well beyond what the lenses are resolving in many cases. How many lenses actually will get more detail at 15MP instead of 10MP?

As long as the lenses resolve below Nyquist, it's the lenses that need improvement.

That's really the main reason I want to go full-frame - there's more glass to resolve detail. Even then, it's predominantly lenses that I want to improve.

If I had the setup already, I would. I can't see investing in it though.
>> Butterfly !xlgRMYva6s
>>242102
I wasnt expecting Nyquist but it does actually make sense to say it, is it the correct term?

Anywho, I agree with larger sensors for all!

I don't know how I should feel about this, Ive just bought a 40D and I don't feel that im in need of more pixels or any face detection neither hdmi output or better lcd screen. But I don't know about the DIGIC 4 processor..
Do you think it will produce overall same images as the 40d or better (much)?
>> Einta !!MWv3ICYobCM
>>242109
I think so...

If I am correct and Nyquist is the theoretical maximum resolution that a given sensor can produce (generally in MTF), then we have two basic scenarios:

1. Nyquist is higher than actual achieved resolution. We need better lenses to get more "true" resolving power.

2. Nyquist is equal to or lower than actual achieved resolution (false detail). We need higher resolution sensors to get more "true" resolving power.

In virtually all cases with modern high-megapixel sensors, the Nyquist value that results is higher than the actual resolving results. This is an indication that the sensor out-resolves the lens, and that increasing megapixels will not improve capture quality.

Naturally, this is an approximate and incomplete explanation as there are a couple things influenced by sampling and some assumptions made, but as far as I can tell it is generally true.
