Just this past month, Canon has announced a replacement to its 1D line of professional DSLR camera. The EOS-1D X. It’s boasting an 18 Megapixel sensor, capable of 12-14 Frames per second, as well as full motion video. Price has not been announced yet, but it’s not for the faint of heart.

Still photography technology is a big subscriber in the trickle-down theory. As it evolves, the older professional technology is moved down into consumer level product, and we will continue to see improvement across the entire board. Based on previous Canon lines, it’ll be approximately 5 years before these specifications are going to be pretty close to what’s on the shelves down at Best Buy, so for those of you that are photography buffs, we will keep seeing more and more features down the road arriving in Canon and competitor SLR cameras.
