Ingen aning, men här är någon som påstår sig veta
Pre release 1DV spotted! Limited information extracted from the beta-tester, but even that little information is enough to say that this is going to be awesome!
Speculation that the number IV is going to be skipped over is right on the money! The 1DV marks such a leap forwards from the current 1DIII that such is to be expected.
The specs that were revealed are:
Dual Digic V
Full Frame with 1.3x and 1.6x crop selectivity
Slight increase from 21.1mp to ~36.2mp
10 fps
Full HD video (with separate video & audio output for monitoring)
Fully customisable function buttons.
Pellicile mirror
That's all the specific information that the source would reveal - but we are assured that this camera is truly ground-breaking and well worth the wait. The features found on the new 7D are but a mere foreshadowing of what is to come!
Some additional functionality has been hinted at. The LCD display will be touch sensitive (touch sensitivity can be reduced on the fly) so once the locations of the soft buttons are memorised, custom functions can be selected easily with your nose! Focus can be prioritised to different areas of the anatomy by simply using the touch screen to select areas on a representative diagram - no more OOF eyes or feet! Due to the touch screen and advanced accelerometer, many favourite arcade games will be included. There was no comment on whether Pong would be available.
*Addendum. There will only be a fully manual mode or a bulb mode, as professional photographers will use nothing else. A separate grip will be made available with built in GPS unit, pocketwizard OCF triggering, WiFi (enabling VoIP feature!)
**Another beta model of this camera has been spotted, using Foveon sensor technology instead of the traditional Bayer filter sensor. It is rumoured that this will appear in the forthcoming 3D which will have many of the features of the 1DV.
Rykten säjer ingenting men lite lustigt är det väl ändå att ryktet om 7D var ganska bra ^^
