Rumor: Canon TSi/500D and Canon 1Ds Mark IV DSLR cameras by February
There is a rumor around the net that Canon is going to release 2 new professional DSLR camera, Canon 1Ds Mark IV and Canon TSi/500D.
Here are the supposed specifications of the Canon 1Ds Mark IV camera. I found this rumor on “Photography Bay”.
- CMOS Image sensor with a size of 36×24mm
- 21 megapixels
- ISO 25-12800 expandable to ISO 10, 25600, 51200 (Awesome if it can be lowered to ISO 10, no ND filters anymore)
- 69-point AF EAC technology (do not know what this technology is) (TTL-AREA-SIR II AF)
- Flash Sync Mode: 1 / 4000 ESR (X high-speed flash sync?)
- USB2.0 and external HD transmission
- 4 to 3 and 16 to 9 ratios
- HDMI terminal. External monitor may display LV
- Continuous rate of 6.8 per second
- 2 DIGIC 4 processing chips
- 24fps and 30fps 2 kind of video mode
And about Canon TSi/500D there aren’t any specifications out there, although there is a bigger chance that this is true, than the 1Ds Mark IV.
