Rumors: 46.1 MP Canon DSLR will be named Canon EOS-1S with price $9,000

The recently rumored Canon EOS 3D camera may have a new name: Canon EOS-1S.

According to CR, this EOS-1S camera will have big megapixel at 46.1 MP, and the price tag will at $9,000 as introduced. This is definitely not sounding like a  Nikon D800 competitor.

This Canon EOS-1S will have a superior low ISO performance from the sensor. New technology will be introduced in this camera and will set the stage for sensor development over the next 2-3 years.

  1. Wait a year to 18 months after its launch and Canon will probably introduce the more affordable 5D Mk IV with an improved sensor with the same 46 MP. This will be a repeat of what the 5D MkII did with the 1Ds Mk III.

    1. I hope you are correct with NIKON coming out with a higher MP cameras…
      It keeps the pressure on Canon, not to become complacent…
      We are Canon folks for 20 years, having converted from NIKON and HASSELBLAD in the early-mid 1990’s, going digital very early in 1995/6…
      With Canon bringing on the EOS 5D, D2, D3 cameras, we are most active in creating HDTV clips for our event imaging. We need our new equipment to incorporate 2K and 4K., to prevent re-inventing too often…

  2. Remember when considering buying this camera to budget for good glass; zooms will suffer badly in the corners. A good set of primes will be the ticket.

  3. We would be ready for a Canon 46MP camera in Q2 of 2013. Very interesting Rumor indeed. This capability will be welcomed to finally have a true SLR foot-print, that “matches” the Medium Format cameras; years ago I was a loyal Hasselblad guy with 500CM bodies and $20k in Zeiss glass. Then in 1995 (thereafter sold all of this on eBay in 2003) we switched totally to “digital” imaging; everyone said I was nuts, spending $26k for a Canon-Kodak DCS-560 six MP camera, spare batteries were $1100 each; which is beaten by todays Canon Rebel. SO some 17 years later, we may see a Canon “medium format” resolution camera. Notice that Canon has been exercising itself in re-designing some of their valued “L” lenses in preparation for the new super-high resolving imagers. JimW

  4. We’d like this level of camera to endure a couple of digital iterations, as to delay eventual obsolescence… Therfore some features for this “S” camera would be the following in addition to the pro-standards for ultra low-noise still imaging that Canon is well known for:
    2K, 1080p full HDTV recording at 30fps and 60fps.
    4K, recording at 30 fps.
    Internal WiFi, stop with these absurd screw add-below appendages
    Internal GPS, stop with the absurd screw add-to-the-side appendages..
    (If Apple can have all this incorporated onto a 20 square millimeter chip so can Canon…)

  5. Why not just skip the intermediate models and go straight to a 100MP Body for $100,000 and that takes a 1TB CF Card…
