Why no new camera body with 1.3x crop factor from Canon???

Canon camera line up still continue to be weak, as a loyal canon user I'm bit disappointed with new introductions (I expected 7D Mark II with 1.3 crop and some 24 MP).  I see the big gap between 1.6x crop factor and full frame. There is no 1.3  crop sensors available in market from canon (except some old 1D's bodies, Correct me If I'm wrong).
I'm currently worried that will canon meet critical requirements or continue to make same rebels with different names?

I am afraid the 1.3 crop sensors are a thing of the past.  However it does not seem to reduce the popularity by som parts of the photography genres.  "Birders" for instance are keeping used prices on 1D Mk IV's very high.  Wildlife photograpehers still seem to like them, too.
The crop factor between 1.6, 1.5, 1.3 and FF is mostly confusing to a lot of people.  They have heard of or read incorrect infomation about it.  It seems to abound. Remember the focal length of a lens does not change by using a smaller imaging circle.  The field of view is smaller because a smaller area of the image circle is used by the smaller 1.6 srnsor.  That is all.
Whether this provides any value is left up to the photographer.

  • I see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder

    i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
    did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
    thanks for your help

    It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

  • Do I need to upgrade both LR 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7 to import files from Canon 7dMark2?  or is LR 5.7 enough or is camera raw 8.7 enough

    Do I need to upgrade both LR 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7 to import files from Canon 7dMark2?  or is LR 5.7 enough or is camera raw 8.7 enough

    Lightroom is a complete stand alone program and does not require you to have any other Adobe product on your computer.
    Adobe Camera Raw is a plugin for Photoshop CS and is not require by Lightroom nor is it used by Lightroom.
    However if you are using both Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 /Photoshop CC and wish them to 100% compatible then you will need to update the ACR Plugin in Photoshop.
    Lightroom 5.7 will work fine with your Canon 7dMk2. (Its internal processing engine is the equivalent of ACR 8.7)
    To wit LR 5.7 is an alternative to ACR 8.7 Plugin in Photoshop, you do not necessarily need both.

  • New camera, problems with capture setting

    Hi-
    I just got a new Canon Vixia HD30. I'm using FCP 5.1.3, and I can't find the correct settings for capture. I've tried a variety of mix and match between the camera settings (HDV, HDV30, HDV24, etc.) and the available settings on FCP (HDV, HDV 1080i60, etc.) but I'm not getting full functionality. It is recognizing the camera when I go to Log and Capture and I can capture clips when the FCP setting is HDV, but there are two problems:
    1. (most significant) The captured clips need rendering when I put them in the timeline.
    2. The captured clips, when opened as clips, are not synched with the audio. (I've had this issue before with a previous camera, many years ago, but can't seem to solve it this time.)
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Zack

    Dear Zach,
    Did you ever solve this problem? I've run into the same issues: having to render clips captured from a new Canon Vixia HV30 when I put them in my timeline. A considerable waste of time. I just wonder if you ever figured it out.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Why does new Skype work with one user, and not another?

    Running 19.4.5, I installed the latest version of Skype. (I do not activate it on login) This opens, but crshes/unexspectedly quits on "sign in". I tried the same with a "new user", and the app opened fine. I compared the two users to make sure that Skype was correctly featured in my usual user. No difference. Still crashes.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be conflicting with Skype?

    Right, problem solved! . Am posting this as it may help in future. I use a useful little app called Window Dragon,(a haxie) which helps resize windows with the mouse. This was causing the conflict, but had not with earlier versions of Skype. All I had to do was exclude Window Dragon from working with the new updated version of Skype and everything back to normal.
    Solutions to apps that "quit unexpectedly" or crash often mention that haxies can often come into conflict with apps. So best to start with any haxies one has installed, disable, test etc..

  • Why Can't Camera Work with Windows Messenger for Mac and give output video?

    I can see from the other end, but my camera won't come on so they can't see me. I hear them and can type in Messenger, but I'd like to have 2-way video, not just receive.
    My camera works as I use it in Photo Booth, so that's not the problem. I can't find a way to setup the video within Messenger. Don't know if it's problem with Messenger or Leopard.
    Whatever it is, it's very annoying that I can't output video.
    Anyone with similar problem or have the answer? I'd be forever grateful!
    junroe

    Microsoft Messenger doesn't have video support on the Mac version. If you want crossplatform videochat, ask your friends to join AOL Instant Messenger. You can get video chat crossplatform between AOL Instant Messenger for PC & Apple's iChat which supports AOL Instant Messenger screen names. Skype is crossplatform too. An open source program called ophonex supports Microsoft Messenger's Netmeeting protocol for video chat as well. IRC is also crossplatform in videochat though its setup is a bit more complicated with the software known as Ircle for the Mac.

  • New camera problems with cs6

    I have upgraded from a Canon 60D to a full frame 6D When I am in LR and want to bounce over to CS6 using my lightroom adjustments I click the EDIT IN option from the drop down menu in LR and choose CS6... ps will load but the work area is blank. Now if I use a image from my files that came from my 60 D this dosent happen at all.The 60D images load right into PS to be further edited. This makes no sense to me and I hope it makes sense to someone else.

    What version of camera raw do you have for PS?  You should have at least 7.3 for the 6D.

  • Will you be putting out a new camera raw or update that will support the Canon 7D Mark II?

    I have recently purchased a Canon 7D Mark II and do not have camera raw to support it.  Will you be developing this soon???

    The camera-raw supported applications list is somewhat misleading and not updated for ACR 8.7, obviously.
    The misleading part is that PS-CS6/CC/CC-2014 all can be updated to ACR 8.7, even though the list lists ACR 8.3 for CC and CS6.  The reason for the lower version for CC and CS6 is that both those have lower OS-version requirements (Vista/OSX 10.6) than ACR 8.7, and ACR 8.3 was the last version of ACR to work with the same lower version compatibility.
    If you have PS-CS6 or newer and Win7 or OSX 10.7 or newer then you can update your camera raw plug-in to ACR 8.7, but if your OS is older or your version of PS is older then you can’t.

  • Just purchased Elements12, can't download Raw images from SD card from new Panasonic Lumix DMC-Gx7. CF card from Canon 5D works fine. I understand I have to upgrade camera raw, does anyone know how to do this and where to fine it. Please and thank you..

    Can you please tell us which operating system you are running on and details of the camera producing the raw images (Make & Model).
    Each different camera model has it's own unique format of the raw file and so the camera raw has to be updated occasionally. Gives us the details above and we can help you further.
    I'm new with windows 8 and brand new computer

    FWIW, my Help/Updates does not work. My ACR is 8.0 and each time that ACR has been updated during the last year I have tried to update it through Help/Updates and each time I have received in the Application Manager window that opens the text, "Your applications are all up to date." I suppose it is possible that the fact that I have an updated copy of LIghtroom (5.6) is confusing the Application Manager.
    Because I do all my Raw processing in LR it does not really bother me that the PSE 12 ACR plugin does not update.

  • Why is there a problem with Setup.exe when upgrading from 2.0 to 3.6.3?

    I am trying to upgrade Firefox on a laptop that currently has 2.0. I downloaded 3.6.3 and opened setup. I get an error message indicating that setup cannot run setup.exe. It advises I restart my computer. When I do, it does no good. Please advise.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == I tried to upgrade from 2.0 to 3.6.3.

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
    You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz.

  • Installed Camera Raw update, still cannot access images from Canon G15

    The download statement said it was upgraded but, when I tried opening the RAW files, there was still nothing accessible.

    Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
    LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
    Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

  • HT6114 My CanoScan 8600F no longer works with Mavericks- No drivers available from Canon

    My CanoScan 8600F no longer works with Mavericks upgrade.  Canon does not offer new drivers.

    The Canoscan Toolbox works with Mavericks to scan, copy, etc.
    If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements the drivers can be installed so one can scan from within those applications.
    All the necessary software (CanoScan Toolbox 5.0.1.2 Installer) can be obtained from the Canon site.
    And, as Eustace mentioned, Vuescan works.
