Interesting 1DsIII/40d rumor
Some more rumors about the 1Ds Mark III and 40d. 22 mega pixel is pretty old news now, as well as the full color sensor rumor. A full color sensor in the 40d would be a big surprise; it would certainly give Canon some breathing room against the competition. If they do go this route I hope they can overcome the noise problem Sigma has had, that’s been a point of pride for Canon’s CMOS sensors.
I’m not sure what the purpose of switching aspect ratios would be. This seems like something could just as easily be done in software, without the need for special “supported” lenses. It would only make sense if they were planning a high speed crop mode like Nikon, but then they are cutting into their 1D market. It should be an interesting PMA, that’s for sure.
