    Default Leaked Canon 7D press release

    The following link has allegedly a google translation of a leaked chinese Canon 7D press release. Be warned it's painful to read (e.g. “can not be auto-focus lenses when driving,”).

    I guess we all know more tomorrow. JR

    If it is true that it is 18MP on a 1.6x crop sensor then it sounds like good news for noise reduction software developers. :)

    Maybe it's Canon's attempt to stimulate the economy... :D

    There is a Swedish camera/photography magazine which claims to have been invited to a Canon press event on Sep 1 in Stockholm. Of course, could be spam too...

    It will be interesting to see what is really announced tomorrow. If the rumor is anywhere near true Canon claims o have developed some sensor engineering that will reduce the noise that the 50D has a reputation for. Since many state that the 50D noise is controllable if you expose correctly the newer camera (if true) should be great.

    Tomorrow will tell.

    I guess the leak didn't turn out to be spam. There are interesting high ISO sample files at http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1251777601.html.

    Guess not. Thanks. I just tend to take these things with a grain of salt until I see them.
