Canon announcement 11/4/11 @ Paramount studios. Event invitation enclosed.

Well can we start the wild speculation here, or does that thread exist already?

i'm with this guy from some other board:

The dream camera:

1. Using same codec as XF 100/300 series.

2. Large sensor: Same size as the Canon 5D, but lower pixel count to control or eliminate moire and aliasing issues. Also with a selectable filter for reduction.

3, EOS mount to support all Canon lenses.

4. Has XLR inputs. Tracks are individually adjustable.

5. Has internal NDs.

6. Low noise up to 6400 ISO

7. external outputs 4:4:4 for external recording.

8. Component design for accessory add on.

9. 5 inch HD on camera monitor LCD, with swing down slightly magnified eyepiece.

10. Twin card slots for continuous recording.

11. Price point. MSR: w/o Lens: $ 3999

I don't know about codecs and other specific specs but I think it's safe to say it's gonna be a 4k S35ish sensor videocamera.
 
Am I the only one who thinks this isn't going to be a camera? I don't keep up with rumors, but I haven't seen anything from Canon to indicate so strongly what everyone seems to be murmuring about.
 
I accosted the canon reps at the ccw show in nyc and demanded to know why they didn't have an answer to the af100 and fs100.

They told me to be patient. Then security threw me out of the building.
 
The betting mans choice for the November 3 event is that Canon will be introducing a 4320p movie camera. 4320p is the official NHK high definition broadcasting format of the future and is equivalent to 65mm IMAX quality so Hollywood would just love this. The BBC has already promised to shoot the 2012 Olympics in 4320p.
 
I'll eat my hat if its not S35! :)

The only part in the equation that I can't quite figure out is the codec. With the 1DX H264 Intra announcement, I'm curious to see if they will still go Mpeg2 with this. Maybe the speculation of 2 different models, one higher end than the other will also have different codecs implementation?

I just can' see, however, Canon be so cutting edge as to go for 4K. A 1080p 4:2:2 10 bit H264 intra camera would be my bet for the higher end model...
