I've heard from a source that Canon may be discontinuing the SX100 any day now. The hugely popular camera was price dropped significantly 6-8 weeks ago before the Panasonic TZ5 hit the street.
Improvements the camera could see:
The usual megapixel bump
3″ LCD
HD Video
Self popup flash
Viewfinder (not sure how they'd fit it on)
This could mean there will be some announcements by Canon in June.
ProPhotoHome did the “Galbraith” AF Servo test and the 1D Mark III outperformed the D3 by a wide margin.
1D Mark III: 31% Out of focus
D3: 48% Out of focus
The latest firmware for the 1D3 showed a 9% improvement in this test.
This clearly means you can no longer marke good images with the D3, and you never could on the 1D3… until now!
In all seriousness, every user of the 1D Mark III is very positive about the latest firmware for the camera. Hopefully the “AF issue” can be put to rest.
I just found out today that Canon Canada has put a $100-$200 sell through dealer rebate on various 40D kits. This should translate into lower prices for customers.
There has been a bit of a global lowering of prices on the camera, is this a sign Canon is going to abandon their 18 month product cycle on the xxD cameras?
Food for thought, the 5D is the only other Canon camera with the rebate.
Don't confuse these rebates with the Buy More, Save More rebates in Canada, these are strictly for the dealer.
Kits with the rebate:
40D/17-85IS
40D/17-85IS/70-300IS
40D/28-135IS/70-300IS
40D/17-40L
Seeing the 17-85 on the list shouldnt be a surprise, but the 17-40? Could that also be getting a version II?
