Now considering the Canon Executives have a reputation for using lots of words to say absolutely nothings (an art form I feel they have perfected), this must be real.
Would anybody like to speculate as to what Canon means by these comments?
In an interview with Digital Camera Watch, Canon Inc. Senior Managing Director Image Communication Business Division Maeda Masaya confirms the development of a high megapixel camera. A camera we confirmed would be coming in 2015, although we don’t know exactly when it will arrive.
From Maeda Masaya
“We are currently making efforts toward high-resolution cameras. User needs are broadly divided into the two areas of high-resolution and high-sensitivity. Canon has been progressing the high-sensitivity side more, but we feel that we also must respond to graphics-related users (hoping for high resolution) and increase resolution numbers."
"We are thinking of a high-resolution camera for users wanting high resolving power, and it will be out soon. It will be a camera preserving pixel quality while boosting resolution figures. We are extending interchangeable lens groups (unsure what this actually means). We want to add one line to our EF lenses…I can’t say any more than this. Please don’t ask anymore (laughs).”
◾The days of the annual product cycle are over, new models will come with big advancements in technology
◾A “new line” of EF lenses is on the way.
◾Canon believes lenses are the most important part of EOS
◾We will see electronic shutters soon.
◾There’s “no comment” on a full frame mirrorless (probably a good thing) and Canon is still interested in medium format.
