Canon announced the new “ME20F-SH”. A Cube form camera with EF mount and no mirror and no EVF. Canon says the camera “delivers exceptionally high sensitivity to capture Full HD video with a minimum subject illumination of less than 0.0005 lux“. This means it records in the dark at up to 4 million ISO! Take that Sony A7s 🙂
The camera main use will be in the surveillance market but also in cinema and tv production where you absolutely need those crazy ISO’s.
The camera uses a Full Frame 2,26 MP sensor and will cost $30,000 when it ships in December. Here are the full specs:

Ok, nice nature field camera BUT!!!! Only for summer????? This is ridiculous…. Only 0C degrees minimum???? Any field shooter knows that most of nights are below that temperature. And this camera is for night shooting or not??
$30,000 “field” camera that can’t withstand subzero temps and has all sorts of vents and open terminals?… You’re misreading the target audience. It’s not for the field of nature photography or videography.
It’s for the field agents.
yes, but in the press release they talk about “field documentary” for night shooting, so stay near the hot areas only….
Like surveilling from the air conditioned room across the street? That’s the government’s favorite flavor of field documentary… fits the price tag, too.
