What I would like from Canon next year

[JJphoto]

Agreed!!! especially #1and #4


a 500mm 5.6 or 600mm 5.6 would be very nice!(if the price is right)


also like to see


1, a new Rebel(like the size) with fast shutter lag


2. f2.0 zoom

2. In-camera correction of lens distortion (Barrel / pincushion, light-falloff and CA), with ability to turn on/off.

<div>You're 1/3 of the way there already - newer bodies offer Peripheral Illumination Correction, which corrects the vignetting (light fall-off) of lenses in-camera for JPGs. Of course, if you shoot RAW, all of those corrections can be applied with lens-specific presets in DPP. Frankly, I would not want any of them applied in-camera to RAW images - I've found that DxO corrects them better than DPP, actually.</div>

Agreed! A 500mm f/5.6L IS would be great.

I just want a new 5D that meters more accurately and has a more advanced AF system. Then I can ditch my 1DsII.

That's exactly what I want. My dream camera would be a 7Ds.

Fun thread.


No one ever talks about EFS lenses....and these don't have to be EFS, but aimed at those of us with cropped bodies (great optics assumed):

• 15-85 f/4.0 and 17-55 f/2.8--weather sealed
• To mimic the 70-200 range that is so popular on FF, how about a EFS 50-150 mm/40-120mm f/2.8.

And, of course,

• 100-400L II with 4 stop IS and weather sealed.
• Updates to the non-L primes such as the 28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm

I agree with Kayaker72.


The two biggest things I

[DavidEccleston]

To mimic the 70-200 range that is so popular on FF, how about a EFS 50-150 mm/40-120mm f/2.8

But as people like to point out, f/2.8 isn't quite the same on a crop body, so it occured to me, why not a 50-150mm f/2 IS USM lens?


I know Canon typically doesn't make zoom less than f/2.8, and that cost, weight, and size can be factors in larger aperture zooms, but since it's an EF-S lens, it's already smaller and lighter and cheaper. Making it f/2 would just bring the size, weight and cost back up to non EF-S levels... or am I missing something (aside from typical people not wanting to pay for premium EF-S lenses).

YES!


Well stated.

I think it would be great to see an all-new flash system that syncs with RF instead of IR.
