Re: Canon rumors
DIGIC V
The next EOS & PowerShot processor
It has been a long time since we spoke about or saw an updated DIGIC processor in a Canon Camera. It seems DIGIC IV has been around for a long time, 2008 to be exact.
I was told today that DIGIC V has been in development for at least 4 years. A lot has changed during its development because of the explosive success of the 5D Mark II and HD video.
Features of the next DIGIC Processor
Still and video noise reduction that will be industry revolutionary (I like that word)
The most throughput on the market
Dynamic range improvements, unknown to what extent
New video codec. RAW video is unknown, but the throughput will attainable
New liveview AF abilities, unknown whether that will affect video AF
New “creative” tools for new DSLR and compact features
