Japanese Magazine Predictions for Canon and Nikon Camera Launches in 2013

http://www.petapixel.com/2013/01/01/...nches-in-2013/



In the latest issue of Japanese magazine Impress, there’s a two-page section that predicts the new DSLRs that Canon and Nikon will be unleashing in this upcoming year. Alongside each model name, design illustration, and spec list is a percentage that indicates the likelihood of the rumor coming true.

Canon



On the Canon end, there will reportedly be four new models ranging from the serious amateur end to the high-end professional end. The Canon 7D Mark II may include a brand spankin’ new CMOS sensor that offers up to ISO 25600, and 10fps continuous shooting (85% chance). It’s younger sibling, the 70D, may feature the same guts and a 3-inch swiveling LCD screen (70% chance).

There’s also mention of a Canon EOS M2 (80%) and a Canon 1DSx (50%). The M2 may be the viewfinder-equipped successor that is rumored to have a late 2013 arrival date.

Nikon



On the Nikon side of things, there may be a Nikon D7200 with a 39-point autofocus system and ISO that goes up to 25600 (90% chance). The D9000 may feature a new sensor, 10fps shooting, and a 51-point AF system (35%).

There’s also mention of a Nikon V3 (75%) and a Nikon D4x (30%).

Back in January, the magazine also published a report with a number of predictions for many other camera makers.

I think the V3 is a real possibility. The J3 has already been announced even though the J2 JUST came out...and the V2 just came out.

As for the others...not sure. Still curious if there will be a D400 or if the D9000 is basically being seen as the real successor.

If the 70D does have that articulating screen, I might consider upgrading to that. I find the articulating screen to be extremely useful when I'm shooting cars and landscapes.

OMG! I use it ALL the time.

I've heard of people saying it's an amateur-ish feature... but the combination of the articulating screen and live view becomes super useful

EXACTLY! I sometimes feel amatuer-ish when I'm pulling out the screen. But I could not have taken these shots easily without it. I mean I could, but I'd be looking like a weirdo laying on the floor and everything.

I may get the M2 if they fix the AF on the camera.

I'm just different about it I guess. Plus it was a car meet with a lot of people. I'm just self conscious about laying down and have people look at me as "that guy"

oh don't worry. i would get a FF first before the M2. Just don't know if i want to get a 5D2 or classic. Classic at least i can use the 7D for backup or vice versa. but the 5D2 i would need to sell the 7D.
