Looks like they tested the autofocus as well. It still hunts near the end of each refocus. Not anywhere near the GH3 standards but probably better than the last Canon efforts.
Nice to see that all of the Moire and Aliasing is still there. Still don't know if the Auto Focus has improved at all though.
Samples
Innovation at Canon's imaging department seems to be dead for a while. How many bodies did they release with the same sensor? 20?
@vitaliy_kiselve Isn't Fuji using non-Sony sensors in its latest models too? Or are they manufactured by Sony? They are the ones that are trying to do innovative new things, unlike Nikon/Canon. Sony/Olympus/Panasonic try but are still hammered by corporate protectionist thinking.
What I like about Fuji is that they have clear focus, they want to replace Leica at the high end.
It does appear from the Imaging Resource text that Canon SL1/100D has more advanced Hybrid CMOS AF II system from imaging sensor for Live View and Video with ~6 times larger AF area ("that uses approximately 80% of the width and height of the Live View display") than upgraded T5i/700D ("which takes up just 38% of the width and 26% of the height of the Live View display"). For still images both cameras use the conventional auto-focus sensor with 9 point AF. And why is just 1080p30 for Video?
Eos-b. This is a joke?
Yes stonebat, there are now sensor that can adquire image with no proper optics, directly from sensor....so.. how i see it in the future is, better cameras for all. Canon is waiting patiently, he is not in any hurry, he is the Toyota of cameras.
Well with the new Nikons, Toshiba is a player now too.
You do not know if sensor design is by Toshiba, it is just some monor work and manufacturing.
Well with the new Nikons, Toshiba is a player now too.
Increasingly sensor design is affecting lens design, too. You know that Samsung learned how to make lenses from Pentax :)
Right now most except Samsung and Canon are using Sony sensors in their products (sometimes not all). This is absolutely normal, as sensors become more and more complex and more and more costly to design and implement.
I didn't say m43 would die. Pentax is not a major player, but it's surviving :)
Currently major players are Canon and Nikon. But Sony and Samsung will be major players because they will lead the sensor war. Sensor is important. See the latest Leica M. The better sensor the better performance. Also Sony and Samsung are positioned to produce good optics, too.
Canon mirrorless... I will wait until Canon starts using Sony sensor. See how much Olympus has improved since adapting Sony sensors.
Canon really needs new sensor tech, but they can't compete with Sony on sensor war. Also they wouldn't wanna upset their much larger entry-level DSLR customers by releasing better mirrorless bodies.
I'm pessimistic about Canon's compact mirrorless. In the long run, it'll be Sony vs Samsung.
I am starting to get accustomed to this with Canon. It is the same camera with a different model number year after year.
How in the world is this going to be a better camera than an EPL-5 or even an OMD E-M5 which is about the same price now?
