Canon EOS 1-Series Coming Next Tuesday?

October 13, 2011 By Eric Reagan

Canon Ad Today

The rumormill has exploded over the past week or so with reports of new DSLR models coming from both Nikon and Canon.  The latest rumors suggest a high level of confidence in Canon’s release of a new DSLR on Tuesday, October 18.

Canon Rumors says it is 99% certain that Canon will be dropping a new DSLR on the scene next Tuesday.  The report goes on to say that the most likely candidate is a new Canon 1-Series camera.

In further corroboration of these rumors, Northlight Images (see the 10/12 report) is reporting that Canon Singapore has scheduled a product announcement for October 18.  It was also noted that the Today newspaper in Singapore featured significant Canon advertising (see top image).

Rumored specifications for a 1D Mark V or 1Ds Mark IV are summed up as follows:

  • 16-18mp
  • Full Frame
  • ISO 51,200
  • Dual Digic V
  • 12-14fps
  • 61 AF points

12-14 frames per second seems overly ambitious for moving the mirror and tracking focus.  Additionally, I don’t see a 1Ds camera backing down to 18MP or lower.  And, these specs would mean the end of the APS-H format if it were for a 1D Mark V.  Both scenarios seem rather odd, so take the spec list with a healthy dose of salt.

My own speculation leans more toward a 1Ds Mark IV at a higher resolution than its predecessor.  And, hopefully, some of that built-in wireless radio trigger technology for remote flash and cameras.

Stay tuned for the latest.
