Em vừa thấy có trao đổi này trên dpreview, nên mang về đây để cả làng mổ xẻ. :gathering . Biết đâu đấy lại "định hướng" thêm được mấy chiến sĩ phá nhà ra ... hiếp ảnh. :lol:

I posted on this topic in August 2007 way back in the old Photokina Rumour thread. My ‘source” has just come back from one of his regular business trips to Japan (days ago) where he again met his old colleague buddy now involved in DSLR marketing at Canon at their favourite Sushi bar…
Summarising the previous post Canon was going to replace all their DSLR range in 2007 except for the 400D. There would be:
30D Replacement (40D?) with
• Anti-dust
• 5D like AF
• 10.2mp 4 channel sensor (though they were testing a 12 mp one)
• Still 1.6 crop for those EF-S lenses
• DIGIC III and sensor changes to give better high ISO and lower noise (especially at 1600 and 3200 ISO)
• Very similar appearance to 30D
5D would be split into FF two lines to create full frame demand
• Low end – similar to current 12 Mp sensor but with a more 30D like body (could be a 7D?) and DIGIC III. This low end and xxD series were meant to provide a more cost effective choice between 1.6 and FF for the advance amateur and allow a gradual migration to more full frame over time driven by the market.
• High end with more MP (16mp but not the 1D sensor), improved AF for the full frame, DIGIC III etc. (could be a 3D?)
The 1 Series was being replaced as well
• Canon were very excited by this replacement
• A different division markets these to the normal DSLRs so details were more sketchy (DIGIC III and much better ISO and dynamic range mentioned)
• There had been some late changes which back then (August 2006) were risking the 1 series not making Photokina.
• Canon were working on two new 1 series abut would probably only release one of them for now.
