apparently Canon will be announcing a new 6mp camera with a CMOS chip (???) in a few days. the price tag is expected to be around the Nikon D1X.

this is NOT confirmed and with no claim to accuracy.

does anybody have any information to confirm or dismiss this ?

cheers

Fak! Is that really true!?!? I checked the link above and was stoned. I almost put my moneys to 1D but now I´ll have to wait that D60. Sound too good to be true! And if I understood right that german language it should be able to take 8 pics per second? Too good, too good...
 
3 pps with a buffer for 8 images

this spring is going to be fun fun fun :-) cameras to choose, money to spend.

cheers

I believe the conversion comes to $2700!! Lots less than the D1X (today) if true...Peter

I've mailed your questions to Foto-Koch, I hope they will answer.

In the Canon-SLR-Talk is a correct translation of this german text,
you may get further informations there at this posting:

Is this a wind up!
I can not see any mention of a new Canon on this site.
I would just like to add from England 1 - 5, see you in Japan .

I really hesitate to come in with this, not being a fan of rumor spreading, but here's what just happened. I called Canon to find out about the transferability of the warranty of a EOS 1D I may buy from an individual. A nice, talkative technician was put on the phone. I asked nothing about any new camera. He volunteered that there will be a D60 with 6MP and, get this, a full size sensor! Did not know/say when it would be announced or the price. Did say it wouldn't be as fast as the 1D, (the 3FPS sounds right), did say the image quality would be better than the 1D. On the other hand, he was getting some info off the now vanished German web page so I really don't know what this means. Certainly, a full sized sensor would do it for me, I may wait on that 1D....Peter

God I can't believe we're gonna go through all this again.

There was already a flood of talk abouthe D60. The going trends indicate--from insiders @Canon--that the D60 will be out in March with a 6.xMP CMOS chip and a lens form factor of (get ready) 1.2x. The D60 inherets the same focus system as in the EOS 3, and improves on some of it's current imagine routines and operational gotcha. Oh yea 3 frames per second will be the frame rate--to keep this model from competing with the 1D.

The price is unsure but it was suggested that it will place very close to the high 2k mark (so > $2,600 but

The fact that the D60 specs at fotokoch.net were up for only half a day says a lot. Whoever put it up (probably web page developer) was not aware of the non disclosure agreement Canon signed with dealers and distributors.

The fact that there was no mention of sensor size in the specs is also very relevant since a larger sensor would be a major selling point. The specs also claimed this was the succesor of the D30 and still used three point AF, but claimed improved AF performance and slighlty larger burst rate.

This is no french gossip page. Foto-Koch is a reputable german store and temporarily provided a price and item number on the D60. Specs included 6,29 Megapixel and a $2700 equivalent price. If this are real optical pixels (not in-camera interpolated) Canon is cutting the DCS 760 and upcoming Contax N1 digital prices in half, thus the secrecy...

I would be surprised if it turned out the be a full frame imaging sensor - if it is, that would rock the market.

At the end of the day, all imagers that are single pass, single substrate type are interpolated due to the color filter pattern that is placed on the photosites. Every pixel has one color actual and the other 2 interpolated from 4 nearest neighbors. When luminance is interpolated, it's neighbors are directly above or to the side of the pixel (North, south, east, or west). When r or b is interpolated, they are from diagonal neighbors (Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, or Southwest). The distance to these neighbors is larger by a factor of the square root of 2 (aprox 1.414). But since color carries lower frequency info than luminance, this sampling distance difference is acceptable, but results in moire in some situations (aliasing).

thats like a "who's" on first ;)
but good read ;)

Oh I'm still reading german. Ha, Ha, This is what I said a couple weeks ago. There has to be something to campare to the D1x= D60 as the D1H = 1D even in the fall I was told by a canon rep to wait since I'm a Portrait Photogapher and I don't need the high fps as a photojournalist. I need the best capture............If I'm going to spend the money I need good color, good detail, and good camera perforance for wedding situations..........LOW LIGHT.--Mr.Peeck
