Well as expected the big Hollywood announcement from Canon is a video unit.

Just seen a tweet about this having a loo now, how much is the Q

 

[Just Dave]

OMG buttons everywhere :rules:

 

[Chris Primadona]

I just want to see what those little fat primes are in that photo!

£10000s each

 

[Chris Primadona]

Hmm, not so sure about that. Priced over the normal L's maybe but would be suprised to see them for anything near £5k nevermind £10k for a prime! The zooms maybe..

 

[LongLensPhotography]

14-60 f/2.6 and 30-300 f/3-3.7, EF mount

nice lenses, but in fairness probably MF-only, and won't cover full 35mm sensor, but that remains to be seen. The price is more than likely £10k+ each - that's what PL glass costs.

Now, that is a proper super zoom

 

[Chris Primadona]

I think they will be priced closer to Reds primes ($4000+), the zooms yes, they should be quite expensive I would imagine!

Just spotted something interesting in the background. Check the camera in the back!

Forget the C300, what is the CinemaEOS SLR in the background?!?!?

Damn you type faster than me!

New 1ds? /drool

 

[jacob12_1993]

I think it would slot in somewhere as a replacement to the 5D Mk2 for video shooters maybe a C3/3D product line?

 

[itsdavedotnet]

Could this be the proper successor of the 1DS?

No. It'll be geared towards videographers, and shoot 4K video - which seems like the most bizarre thing of all time.

 

[IGADIZ]

So, will we see the end of video features in "proper" still cameras?

More on the (Under development) DSLR with high ress pictures Here (looks like a 1Dx body).

No. That won't happen. Video is here to stay, the consumer end of the market expects it and the media professionals demand it. If you're between these two ends of the market you're stuck with it and will just have to ignore it.

It's a 1dx body with 4K recording, urrently under development:

Canons major competitor announced on the same night. 4k video and half the price: http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/03/reds-scarlet-gets-official-4k-for-under-10k/

Not quite 1/2 price.

That $9750 price gets you the brain and an SSD; Jannard said that a fully-functional camera, with LCD, lens, rails, and handles will set you back around $13k.

Lets be honest, you'd have to be mad to go for the C300 over the Scarlet?
