Photonic Shunkan

It looks like my predictions are off as Canon has announced the development of the 1DX Mark III: https://photonicshunkan.blogspot.com/2019/06/prediction-canon-will-put-pellicle.html https://photonicshunkan.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-canon-1dx-ii-successor-will-be.html That's OK—since I originally predicted that the move to a pellicle mirror would take another product cycle after the 1DX Mark III. You have to make predictions bold even when you know there is always going to be a chance of being wrong. I wrote: "I thought it would take another product cycle of the 1D line for this to happen given Canon's conservatism, hence my prediction that it will take another 4-8 years, but it may be happening sooner than thought. It might even materialise before the 2020 Olympics." There were false rumours about the Mark III having an extraordinarily fast frame rate, which were little more than rumours, and which made me hope that Canon would ditch its conservatism and mo...

I have said it before, and I am reiterating it yet again. Canon has no choice but to reintroduce the pellicle mirror into the EF mount DSLR line of cameras: https://photonicshunkan.blogspot.com/2019/05/prediction-canon-will-reintroduce.html The key factor is that there are too many EF mount users to be able to expect them to dump this mount for mirrorless EVF cameras . The only way to modernise the EF mount line is by reintroducing the pellicle mirror. This will give the camera live exposure preview along with all the other features that are drawing users to mirrorless EVF cameras. Canon will probably introduce IBIS along with eye detect AF because the Nikon D6 is going to get IBIS just like the mirrorless Z mount bodies have already got it (once Nikon adopts a feature Canon follows suit). There is a rumour that Canon is ending its 7D lineage of cameras . I predict that at the same time that the 1D line is upgraded to a pellicle mirror model, the 7D line will also be upgraded to...
