News broke on the Internet that Canon China put the specs of the new 50D up on their website for a brief period. Some one spotted it and the specs have been leaked.
When the story first broke, people though it had in body IS which would have been a giveaway that it was fake (Canon makes great IS lens and have said they wont do in body). Apparently people just misread the Chinese – it actually said it works well with in lens IS.
The specs are as follows:
- 15.1 megapixel CMOS sensor
- DIGIC 4
- 1.6x crop
- Dust Reduction
- Auto Brightness Processing
- 95% viewfinder .97 magnification
- 9 point af (All Cross Type)
- 35 meter area equipped with high-precision sensors AF Fine Tuning
- ISO 100-12800
- 6.3 fps (high speed) 3fps (low speed)
- Buffer: 16 RAW - 60 JPG - 10 RAW+JPG
- 920,000 points VGA 3.0-inch LCD monitor
- 100,000 cycle shutter
- Rugged magnesium alloy body
I don’t think it justifies a body upgrade for me (I am using a 20D) – I can justify the money at the moment. For me 8mp is more than enough and the rest is incremental improvements. A better autofocus and less noise at higher ISO would be the main reason for me to upgrade.
People are also expect the full frame 5D to be upgraded. It will be interesting to see what the specs on that camera are.
