Recently an interview with Canon’s Masaya Maeda at CP+ Show told us the Canon EOS 70D will come, and the future of semi-pro DSLRs will be full frame sensor.
Masaya Maeda is the Managing Director and Chief Executive, Image Communication Products Operations at Canon.
The future for semi-pro
Now that full frame is appearing in cameras the size and price of the 6D, the future of APS-C at the semi-pro level is in doubt, he says: ‘That’s something we’re considering at the moment. From our semi-pro users there’s still demand for APS-C but in the future, I think we will see an increase in the number of full-frame models.’ Either way, that doesn’t close the door on an EOS 70D though – when asked when we can expect one, Maeda promises: ‘some day in the future. Without fail.’
