果日我去永成買野時, 果個 sales都話 40d會8月出!!!!:L

導演

40d, 1DsIII 我估會同時在八月尾 or 九月 announce. Canon 其實一早安排好哂 d time table. 黎緊 11 月會展有 Expo (一早 book 左場), 如果無新野唔使玩到咁大, 我印像中, 上次 Expo 都係 1DsII 既時間.

網上有 40D既 SPEC出, 不過真假就唔知勒!!!

o what can we expect to see in the new Canon EOS 40D? I think the following are reasonable guesses based on my knowledge of the Canon system, plus what I think are reasonably reliable "leaks". I have no "inside info". Canon don't tell me any of this stuff - and even if they did I would not be able to repeat it!

    * The Canon EOS 40D will have all the features of the EOS 30D (larger LCD then 20D, Spot meter, Picture modes etc.)
    * A nine point AF system withe the same "diamond" pattern AF zone layout as EOS 30D.
    * LCD size up from 2.5" (30D) to 3" (40D)
    * Same general shape and size as the EOS 30D. It works, why change it.
    * Dedicated "picture styles" button
    * The Canon EOS 40D will stick with the APS-C sensor size. Given the upgrade path from the XTi and 30D, maintaining the EF-S lens mount seems inevitable, which means sticking with APS-C
    * More Pixels. I'd expect to see at least a 10 to 10.5MP sensor in the EOS 40D. It could be 12MP, but that's unlikely in my opinion, since the 1D Mk III only has 10MP and the EOS 5D is 12MP. A 12MP EOS 40D could possibly affect sales of more expensive models. It would be nice if they used the 14-bit A/D from the 1D MKIII for more dynamic range and I think that's a possible. The Digic III processor (see below) may be able to handle the higher data load. The new sensor may be based on the design of the 1D MkIII sensor which has a better capture ratio than earlier sensors due to optimized pixel design.
    * Noise levels equal to or lower than the 30D. Same ISO 100 - 1600 + "H" (3200) range.
    * A single Digic III processor (the 1Ds MkIII uses two of them). I'd expect this since Canon are now using the Digic III in their digicams. It could help lower noise a little and speed up camera operation.
    * The dust repelling sensor features of the XTi. They may not work perfectly, but they can help a little.
    * The EOS 40D will stick with Compact Flash memory rather than going to SD(HC) cards.
    * A larger buffer for both JPEG and RAW files. New models always have a larger buffer!
    * Sticking with a 5fps frame rate seems reasonable. There's little real need to go faster even if they could. Some rumors are suggesting 6 or 6.25fps. Certainly possible I guess. For most users it will make little difference though.
    * I do not think the Canon EOS 40D will have ECF (eye controlled focus).
    * I do not think that the EOS 40D will be fully weathersealed (gasketed dials, buttons and lens mount). That will stay a "pro" feature. The popup flash on the consumer and prosumer DSLRs would make full weathersealing quite difficult.
    * I'd say "live view" is a possibility. The EOS 20Da had it and the 1D MkIII has it. It's something few DSLRs have, some consumers want and is mainly a firmware feature. Canon obviously have the technology to do it and I doubt that the cost is high. All the development has been done and it would be a "unique feature" in the price range for APS-C DSLRs. It's not quite like the live LCD view of P&S digicams, but that may not matter.
    * Though I'd love to see image stabilization in the body, I really don't think Canon are ready to do that yet. They have too much invested in IS lenses. Right now Nikon doesn't have IS in the body. Sony and Pentax do, but I'm not sure they represent too much competition for Canon.
    * A price for the EOS 40D in the $1400 range, +/- $100. The Nikon D200 is selling for $1500 and I'd expect Canon to try to match Nikon on features and certainly under cut them on pricing. It's guess that $1300 is more likely than $1500.
    * EOS 40D real availability by October 2007 (i.e. when you might actually get one in your hand).

Obviously I could be wrong and Canon could come up with a real surprise (or with nothing at all!). Time will tell and I'll keep my eyes open for what I regard as reliable rumors and report them here. There's also a good chance of an upgrade to the EOS 5D, but I'll save those thoughts for another page!

In the meantime, keep an eye open for falling prices and great deals on the Canon Digital Rebel XT, Canon Digital Rebel XTi, Canon EOS 5D and Canon EOS 30D (now down under $1000), all of which are excellent cameras!

spec. 唔使點睇都知又係咁上下, 用開 30D 就唔使追, 用開 400d or precious 就有得諗咁 lor..
除非 Nikon 有動作, Canon 就會放新野, 呢個 game rule 我睇左十年了 .. :lol

小瑟

聽講 n記8月真係有大動作, 叫哂香港既傳媒去日本開記者會喎~~~Smilies010

ssss41357

唔通n記真係玩FF ccd~~~ Smilies010

不過而家對我黎講,有冇FF都冇乜所為~ :lol

導演

坦白講, 咩FF, 1.6x 真係無所謂, 只係 FF 可以用哂一向用開既鏡頭, 配套最足咁解. 只係 FF sensor 大 d, DR 會多 d.
