Leaked specs for 50D

doodah · 22nd August 2008

Leaked on Canon China website. There's no point in providing the link 'cos it's been taken down.

However, according to the translation, these are the specs:

1.6x crop
15.1MP
Digic 4
Dust Reduction
Auto Brightness Processing
95% viewfinder .97 magnification
9 point af (All Cross Type)
AF Fine Tuning
Face Recognition AF
ISO 100-3200 (Expansion to 6400, 12800)
14-bit image processing
Auto CA correction
In-Camera Anti-Shake
6.3 fps (high speed) 3fps (low speed)
Buffer: 16 RAW - 60 JPG - 10 RAW+JPG
100,000 shutter life
HDMI Output
VGA LCD (920,000 pixel)

I think the in-camera anti-shake is a wrong translation. If the site is still active, I am sure we'll be able to give a more accurate translation.

However, the AF fine tuning is enough for me. I am getting one.

15MP? Yes, yes.... I know some people have the misconception about pixel density... but honestly I think it's the overall sensor performance that matters. Pixel peeping makes little sense.

It's obvious the 50D is aimed squarely at the upcoming Nikon D90.

Don't see a need to upgrade for current 40d users.

Unless pissed with the lcd performance on 40d
or
the iso can really work well on 50d

SilverPine · 22nd August 2008

ISO 12800, In-Camera Anti-Shake and HDMI Output

.

With HDMI Output that mean we can view picture on full HD on 42" TV

.

Any price indication?

Full specs here:

Revad3 · 22nd August 2008

In-Camera Anti-Shake on a new line?

What about their current IS range of lenses? Eradicate it ?

interesting

doodah · 22nd August 2008

Expectations that is met: AF micro adjustment

Still only 2 shots exposure bracketing (not conducive for HDR shooting)

Still only 9 pt AF (expected at least 15 or 20)

Still no wireless control of external flash

Not sure if auto ISO really works this time

ArcticFox · 22nd August 2008

Don't think it will be 15megapixels.

D60 6.3mp
10D 6.3mp
20D 8.2mp
30D (350D) 8.2mp
40D (400D) 10mp
50D (450D) 12mp?

What do you think?

Raspy · 22nd August 2008

IMHO 12MP is a more reasonable step

40D (400D) 10mp

Does it really matter?
What really matter now is in-body IS provided the information is true

Redsun · 22nd August 2008

well hopefully this is for real

CrossOver · 22nd August 2008

Hmm.. Does this mean that it is a good leap from 40D?? Or just stick to 40D will suffice..

May not be.

Perhaps it's (again) the usual way just to get jokers like us in this forum and many elsewhere to spend our precious time discussing/dreaming something that is non-existent instead of shooting out there! (Think 5D II, 3D, 6D, etc etc.)

doubleace · 22nd August 2008

Hopefully this is going to be real but not those rumors that keep on going and nothing come out like 5D mkII... Canon please show us something!!! "Your secret weapon"

zj2000 · 22nd August 2008

If true this will be the ultimate birding camera....

1.6x crop - effective FOV multiplied by 1.6
15mp - good for cropping
AF fine tuning - good for correcting back / front focusing lenses
live view with 10x magnification - good to check that your focus is just right

zj2000 · 22nd August 2008

I think in camera anti shake is probably a wrong translation. I cannot see canon putting this feature in it's cameras at this point. What it probably should have translated in to should be sensor shake for dust reduction or something similiar....

Dithiolium · 22nd August 2008

In-camera IS is supposed to be in-lens IS instead.

50% more pixels than the 40D, that must mean its 50% better!

Real test will be abt the image quality. left to be seen.

labla · 22nd August 2008

Hahaha ok IMHO!!!! :P later get scolded

it's not much of an improvement from the 40D slight changes no HUGE jumps though... ok maybe but i am noob but since personally i have already want to get the 40D i think i will still go for it

zj2000 · 22nd August 2008

zj2000 · 22nd August 2008

Well good news is 50d is definitely launching soon since I managed to find a 50d page in the canon china website, see post #19.

Bad news is I couldn't find a 2d, 3d, 4d, 5d Mark II, 6d, 7d, 8d, 9d, 1d mark IV, 1d mark IIIn
