When Canon started a series of teaser ads two weeks ago (
Just before Sony.
The company uses the phrase "destined to evolve.
The new Canon EOS 5D Mark II is a big step in the evolution of the still camera, but the camera released today is more selective breeding than natural selection, the first major for the new canon-
It will also take horizontal digital single-lens reflections of HD video.
Canon redefined fusion.
Canon called the EOS 5D Mark II the first compact full frame DSLR.
The camera has a 21.
1 pixel CMOS sensor, with EOS 1Ds Mark III, can be shot 3.
9 frames per second in high speed mode.
But that's not all.
Canon is also watching.
PowerShot SX1 is a bit of a professional market for shooting features that are capable of shooting HD videos and 10-pixel stills.
The Powershot point and shot lens are 20 times optical zoom and 35mm is equivalent to 28mm to 560mm.
Of course, the 5D Mark II uses canon's SLR lens.
5D capture video in 1,920by-
1,080 pixels, 30 frames per second, is the full HD standard in mpeg 4.
What is Canon doing?
The goal of the 5D Mark II is two different markets, a strategy that has been ahead of competitors for the past few years.
All camera companies hope that in a few months, HD will become the standard of television defined by American law, so it will be adopted around the world.
There is no real HD consumer camera market until consumers start buying high-definition televisions in large quantities.
The early adop that tech companies like will certainly be the first consumer to grab HD
Cameras that can be played back on hd TV, the rest of the market will wait until the existing camera is replaced.
Over the past few years, Canon has been using North American newspapers as a test market for dual-purpose cameras.
Now, it has added a still camera to the lineup.
Canon has become the camera system chosen by many photographers.
When newspapers saw a decline in circulation and slow growth on the site and began to add videos to the site, Canon began to actively sell to existing HD cameras --
Camera customers
Newspaper photographers around the world now carry canon HV20 HD cameras that also capture stills onto memory cards.
Cameras like HV20 have also attracted a budget
Conscious newspaper managers, who imagine a world in which they can send photographers out to shoot stills and videos at the same time.
So it comes down to a priority.
A high-definition camera like HV20 does not really become a good still camera, it is roughly equivalent to 3-
Megapixel camera.
5D Mark II (
Recommended price $2,699, body only)
Is a professional static camera, but there are limitations as a camera.
The shutter speed is locked between 1/30 and 1/125 per second to obtain a video standard of 30 frames per second, and according to earlier reports, the ability to operate the 5D aperture is limited in video mode, so it doesn't have the full flexibility of a good camera.
The 5D Mark II comes with a built-in
Like many modern digital cameras, the microphone is also equipped with a microphone jack for better recording-quality sound. The dual-
The technology is not perfect yet. Most dual-
Using cameras on the market today requires users to switch between video and still mode.
The Canon camera allows you to still shoot the video, but at the expense of briefly interrupting the video sequence, it's something a good video journalist doesn't want to do.
Of course, the problem with multitasking in this way is that even the best photographers can't do a good job, and shooting videos and stills is a different skill.
A year later, as high-definition televisions become more common, Canon, Sony and Nikon and other manufacturers will take the next step in the evolution of fusion cameras, and some of the problems of the new varieties will be solved.
Dual-use cameras will appeal to consumers who want to take still pictures and HD home movies.
Newspapers and broadcasters are likely (
Especially those broadcasters who have a large number of websites)
Will adopt double
Use the camera as a news report to carry anywhere with you capture and run the camera with the camera.
But, as the "Jack" of all industries, not the owner of the "Jack", the camera cannot satisfy everyone, so it is likely that we will still see high
End the still and the camera doing what they're good at in the next few years, not a Fusion Camera in everyone's hands.
