3 Canon SLR's at Photokina!…
…Or so an active German reader claims.
“I work for the company making Canons booths for Photokina, we are making booths for 3 new slr cameras, they haven't told us which ones. So if the XS is one of the cameras, the other 2 could be the new 3 & 6 cameras. I will try to get you more scoops”
Now I've never been to Photokina, but I hear it's massive. Doesn't every single camera get a booth? =P
Fall refresh
Canon's popular SX100 will be replaced in the fall. Beyond the specs look for a camera with a slightly smaller form factor and a flash that doesn't need to be manually popped.
Specs:
Resolution: 10mp
Zoom: 10x
Focal Length: 36-360
LCD: 3″
Battery: AA
Feature: Viewfinder (maybe)
Video: 720p
Memory: SD
The camera needs a bit of love to compete with Panasonic's TZ series.
First real world shots
Here's a thread on DPR with some example images from the 800mm super telephoto.
Sharpness looks pretty amazing, never really had a doubt about it being a great lens. Amazing super telephotos is a Canon thing.

Can't wait to see some wildlife stuff with the lens.
5 new lenses for Photokina?
I received an email today about Canon's plans in regards to new lenses for Photokina.
“My dealer in Cologne said to expect 5 new lenses for Photokina…. one will be ef-s, one will be a new zoom and the other three will be upgrades.”
I recall Canon stating they can only churn out 3-4 new lenses a year, so this might be a bit of a reach. However, the 3 upgrades would probably take far less resources to develop.
The lenses most sought after for an upgrade would include:
1. 17-40 f/4L (add IS and better on FF?)
2. 100-400 (f/4-5.6 and new IS?)
3. 400 f/5.6 (IS?)
4. 24-70 f/2.8 (Add IS)
What current lens would you most like to see upgraded?
Here's a pic of the next 5D!
