According to a article published over famous rumor mills the Canon 5D Mark IV announcement is at-least 6 months away from now. It is expected that Canon will announce Canon 1DX Mark II before the announcement of Canon 5D Mark IV camera and if it’s true than Canon will sure wait to get a sufficient sales volume of Canon 1DX Mk II.
We do hope this time Canon will bring out advance phase AF module compared to its old 61 point phase AF module/sensor used inside Canon 1DX and 5D Mark III. The other most important feature we are waiting is introduction of Dual-pixel CMOS AF technology in fullframe still camera, however Canon already implemented Dual-pixel CMOS fullframe AF sensor inside its C300 Mark II Cinema announced on 8, April 2015.
Take a look at the AF speed of Canon Fullframe Dual-pixel CMOS AF sensor below.
According to the latest rumors floating over the web, Sony may announce new products soon, the to be announced list includes.
1. Sony A7S
2. Sony A7000
3. Sony a99II
4. Sony FE 24-70mm GM Lens for FE mount fullframe camera
6. Zeiss Loxia Wide-angle lens for FE mount fullframe camera
7. Sony A-mount lenses
The most confirmed camera in the list is Sony A7000, since the camera was expected to arrive back on May 2015 but due to some sensor heating issues while recording the 4K movies delayed the announcement of the camera. We strongly hope the Sony will sure announce Sony A7000 camera on Sep 2015.
According to a leaked document via wikileaks Sony was rumored to announce new A7 series in 2015, we have already seen Sony A7II and A7R II and the only left camera is Sony A7S.
Almost 3 years passed away after the announcement of Sony A99 II camera but no update arrive till now, we expect sony will soon announce A99 II with a completely new sensor and a option to record 4K videos.
We have published earlier that Canon upcoming flagship camera may feature high resolution sensor, the recent leaked info suggest is the upcoming camera may feature a newly developed 24MP Fullframe sensor.
Canon 1DX Mark II Major Specification (published earlier)
Higher Megapixel Sensor
Advance Autofocus System (compared to the current 61-Point High Density Reticular AF)
New Technology in Viewfinder
No information available type of image processor used.
The upcoming Canon 1DX Mark II is rumored to feature a 24 Megapixel Fullframe sensor and new image processor. With the help of new sensor and image processor the Camera will touch a new world record in shooting continuous full resolution shots with AF. The current Canon 1DX camera can shoot 14JPEG files with full AF support, No fullframe sensor based DSLR or Mirrorless camera able to touch Canon current flagship Canon 1DX 14fps speed with AF. So, Crossing the 14fps limit is not an easy task for Canon itself, to achieve 14fps+ frame rate by having 24 MP resolution (compared to 18 MP of Canon 1DX) the camera will need advance image processor possibly Dual DIGIC 6+.
Canon 6D Mk II Update – According to a email we have received today from a anonymous source one of the prototype of Canon 6D Mk II features 24 MP Fullframe sensor and a subtle change in core specification compared to it’s predecessor. He also said that the prototype he is testing loaded with beta firmware and the 6D Mk II hardware performance is limited… and the end he also hinted that Upcoming Canon 1DX Mk II will have higher resolution sensor with a expandable ISO range similar to current Sony A7s camera.
According to latest rumors coming over the surface Sony A7000 is coming with “on sensor HDR” technology, in general cameras merges two or three different images captured at different exposures to create a HDR image, but the upcoming APS-C Sensor inside the Sony A7000 camera is rumored to have a “native HDR Mode or may be called a single shot HDR”, if it’s true than image and videos captured by the camera will have dynamic range of 15.5 stops or may be more.
We don’t have any exact information about the arrival date of the camera but the camera, like its page to get more information and updates.
According to latest rumor Canon is currently testing two test units of Canon 6D Mark II camera, one test unit have 28 MP sensor and the other one have a 24 MP Fullframe sensor, the exact arrival date of the Canon 6D Mark II is not know yet but it is expected that Canon 6D Mk II will arrive in Q1 or Q2 of 2016.
