Canon new pro prosumer HD camera specs
I'm guessing it will have 3 modes:
720/1-60p, 19 Mbps 1080/50-60i, 25 Mbps 1080/1-30p, 25 Mbps It will record in HDV or Blu-Ray format. It will use one 2/3" CMOS by Altasens. It will have new line of interchangable lenses It will be camera with which indies will make their blockbuster movies. It will be under $10,000 and will accept Canon 35 mm lenses. Competing cameras from 7,000 to 70,000 dollars will hardly sell at all. It will become bestseller pro camera. It will be available at NAB 2006. Radek |

i'm curious, why aren't existing XL lenses capable of HD lenses, cause of thread-size?
also, why don't broadcast HD spec have 1080p and just 1080i? bandwidth?

Well I hardly believe anything HDV at those bitrates could stop a 70K camera from selling.
Now, if they got another codec, then they could do something really really fancy. Aaron Quote:

I wonder too why films are not transmitted 1080p24. It compresses easier, needs lower bit rate than 1080/60i. I guess when they developed 1080i, things were harder do than now. |

My understanding is that a consensus couldn’t be reached on whether the formats should be progressive or interlaced, so 720 became 'progressive' only and 1080 became 'interlaced'. Now we also see the 1080 in progressive as well….

I think it was different. Original HDTV broadcast started in Japan, was analog and 60i interlaced footage transfered to 60i SD better. 1080p24 needs about same bit rate, if not lower than 720p60. Films and most shows are shot 24p anyway so unless it's sports, etc., 1080i60 and 720p60 not make sense. MPEG4 allow 1080p60 at 19 Mbps. It will be HDTV future.

if it's pretty feasible, are there talks from HD consortium to revise the HD broadcast standards to include 1080p? i would think that the current boxes would simply need firmware updates. what do you think? any news?

1080p is way in future. They need sell you 1080i first, when profits from 1080i go down, suddenly there will be 1080p HDTV. By going in steps, profits multiply better.

I have no email or anything to send to anyone, but I can tell you that the XL2 will be discontinued 9/5/05 and the GL2 is to be discontinued on 12/31/05...so that implies that Canon will be announcing at least one new HD camcorder VERY soon...but on the other hand what happens if they prop everything above the Optura 600? that would totally suck...

I hope I regret being so sure in my opinion/guess, but I would be shocked if they were already discontinuing the XL2 next month. No way this is going to happen so soon after it's release.
I'll wait for that beer, too. KW |
