7D has manual control 1080p 24/25/30p and 720p 50/60p

I have a friend is a Chinese IT website editor, he/she told me 7D has good video via HDMI and 24p in 1080p 60p in 720p. I don't know what exactly good means, hopefully is better than 5d mark 2's.

what interested me is, he/she said there is another DSLR model in the line. I don't really care if it is 1D 4 or something, because I feel 5d2 is just still in my price figure.
 
there is he, I was try to hind his identity.

but another few hours , things will become very clear whatever the figure is right or not.
 
Hey guy's.

The source of this rumour (google translated): http://translate.google.com.au/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php%3Ff%3D244%26t%3D1211890

Scroll down to the paragraph about "LCD screen and the fuselage Introduction"

"Video camera functionality in the full HD (1920 × 1080) can choose to 30/25/24 frames per second frame rate, HD (1280 × 720), as well as standard definition (640 × 480) can select a more fluid per 60 / 50 of the frame rate. Video recording mode can use an external microphone. Not only can experience immersive sound effects (sampling frequency: 48KHz), and because the microphone can be away from the camera, so the camera movements recorded voice will not be able to get a clear recording. In addition, the video shoot, can have use the manual mode, make full use of the image sensors of digital SLR camera features a large, greatly expanded its depth of field control, image expression.
EOS 7D house equipped with a video camera editing features, even in the shooting scene, surrounded by no computer, you can also right before and after the cut scene editing, you can also enjoy the slideshow of all 5-second video playback. Compatible devices because the connection can use HDMI terminals, so be able to enjoy to enjoy high-definition brings the fun. "

Awesome news, if this rumour turns out to be true! :)
 
thx richard

If these specs are for real this thing will put the GH1 to shame and there might finally be an almost flawless DSLR.
 
Oh no. My GH1 might be put to shame by another camera? Really?

I guess I'll just have to reassure it and tell it that it still shoots full 1080p/24, and has full manual controls, and that the picture looks beautiful. I hope my GH1 can get over this "shame."
 
The mentioned Wireless File Transmitter (optional accessory) is pretty interesting too. If it allows us to directly offload the CF cards to an external hard drive via USB.

"Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E5C with the battery box and handle the same need to use the camera tripod next hole, fixed at the bottom of the camera to use. Can be wired or wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b / g and a), high-speed communications. In addition, due to have the USB terminal, you can connect a portable hard drive, GPS navigation devices and Bluetooth devices. Moreover, the same battery box and handle the same as BG-E7 holding machine equipped with a vertical shooting buttons and dial used to ensure that BG-E7 with the same operability. The WFT-E5C can be applied to wired or wireless remote shooting and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). In addition, you can have the same browser-enabled mobile devices (cell phones) for wireless transmission of information. Images via mobile devices capable of browsing, wireless remote control and even change the camera settings, and shutter release."

Do you really think a 2x crop sensor with a third of the bit-rate is going to compare? It's common knowledge around here that the MKII produces a better picture than the GH1 and the 7D sounds like it might be even better than the MKII.
 
Yeah, I guess the footage comparisons I've seen online and the one I did yesterday in the field with both a 5D and a GH1 aren't valid in the face of "common knowledge."

If these specs are true, I'm sure the 7D will be a very nice camera. But if side by side comparisons and tests have shown us anything, it's that bit rate and sensor size are not everything, and that in the right hands, any of these cameras are more than capable.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Canon is delivering (if the specs are true). Competition and choice make the market stronger and our options much more attractive.

But my GH1 works just as well today as it did yesterday, and I expect it to do so for quite some time.
