Rumours on 450D

"It will be the Rebel XTs. Same sensor, 3″ screen, live-view,
dust remover (already had in XTi), increased noise and DR performance
Just what customers wants: increased noise, lol. :) All a bunch of guesses and hogwash.

This sounds plausible...incrementally better, but at a lower price.

It will be the Rebel XTs. Same sensor, 3″ screen, live-view, dust remover (already had in XTi), increased noise and DR performance (gaining of 2 stops more or so claims Canon), support for UDMA cards, Digic3, Canon wireless master built in, improved AF performance and 4 new cross sensors around the center AF point. Lastly from what I hear it should be priced at $599.
 
I cannot see how Canon would release another 10mp camera.Don' t forget,the new model will have to last until 2009.I believe it will be financial suicide to release another 10mp slr,when Nikon may well update the D80 to 12-13 mp soon.

Cheers,Phil

Same sensor and 2 stops more of DR ???? interesting !!

Somehow doubt the same sensor.

Canon has in all their new dSLRs with Digic3 used 14 bits per pixel and that require a new sensor. 10MP sensor is most logical interpretation of "the same sensor" - may be that used in 40D or then something low cost version alike they made for 350D instead of using the old 20D sensor.

Then and finally this goes to interpretation of "improved noise and DR". May be just simply highlight priority plus some "improved" NR. NR I believe because Canon has been "beaten" by other brands in the visible noise lately.

14bit AD conversion has nothing to do with DR .. It only tells how many conversion steps/levels are available in analog/digital conversion of the existing DR ..

I do not quite agree. Have seen a test made with D300 -as that has both 12b and 14b modes- and there was a clear difference in the deep shadow details. Is this test applicable to Canon cams, I do not know. In high-light there was no difference. But based on this the 14b may make a small difference in DR (=light area you can still detect details).

And I guessed the main source of added DR may be the "old methods" i.e. the highlight priority and possible added stronger NR. You may already know the NR used in many cams seem to be a "major source of added NR" in many tests/reviews. I guess no sense to speculate any more around this rumor spec.
 
Hi there pals,

I'm looking forward to Canon to announce the next camera of its
bottom line, maybe named 450D. It may be shown in late February or
March... have you already heard any rumours on this? Do you dare to
give some possible specs? 13mp perhaps?
  • 12.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor
  • Canon’s EOS Integrated Cleaning System
  • 3.5 frames per second
  • 3.0” LCD with Live View shooting
  • 9-point wide-area AF system with f/2.8 cross-type centre point
  • Picture Style image processing parameters
  • DIGIC III image processor
 
I don't know why everybody wants these tiny little SD card for ???
I am quite happy using CF cards that I can hold onto !!
--i am going to get one as a backup to my 40D, at least I wont get my cards mixed up.
I already have abt 6gb SD cards fot a couple P&S cams I no longer use.
