Canon 70-200 non-IS’s getting dropped? [no rating]

Reader submission
A reader pointed out a site that has the 70-200 f/4L on clearance? Are they just clearing their own stock, or is Canon planning to drop the non-IS lenses?

I can't see Canon selling a lot of 70-200 f/2.8L's anymore, so dumping that would make sense. I think they still sell a lot of the f/4 non-IS version though. If they do cancel it, perhaps we'll see a nice drop in their IS lenses.

Thanks for the tip.

UPDATE
A reader pointed out the link price is about right with the rest of the market. The odd things is the “clearance” listing. There have been times in the past that some random store has some info about stuff like this.

Or Maybe I got baited into posting a link to their product. :)

S6 IS Coming end of September [CR5]

S5 being cleared out
I received some good information that the S5 IS will be available (in Canada at least) until the end of September, and then will be replaced. I think we all knew this.

I'll press a bit for some more info about the S6 IS, see if it's different from earlier information.

XSi Price Drops – Canada

Henry's
Henry's in Canada has already instituted the $150 price drop on the XSi 18-55 kit. It's at $849, and they've further reduced it $20 to $829. Body Only has dropped to $729.

I'm also told that there will be a sale on the camera in a week or so, dropping more money off it.

The XS will be coming in at $749 in the 18-55 IS kit. I could see its street price at $699.

Canon USA should follow shortly (if they haven't already, no time to check)

Canon Pics

Stole the idea..
I stole the idea for “Canon Pics” from Nikon Rumors.

The link is on the right.

If you have any Canon related photos, please send them to me! Mockups, weird gear… fun stuff… Whatever. I’ll put it all in one place.

For now there’s a pic of the wife’s XSi with the 85L on it. Has a slight balance issue.

The Next “G”

Is this up the right alley?
Some competition specs.

Panasonic LX3 Specs (NEW)
- Ultra wide-angle 24mm with 2.5x optical zoom
- F2.0 Leica Summicron lens
- High sensitivity 1/1.63″ CCD with 10 megapixel resolution
- 3:2 aspect LCD (460k pixel resolution), film modes, other advanced photographic oriented features
- Compatible with external flashes and filters. Can add an accessory viewfinder and wide-angle conversion lens
- HD movie mode

There are a few things that look fantastic about this camera. I love the 24mm and the f/2.0 lens. I also like they kept it “low” at 10mp.

I'd like to see the next G setup like this, moreso than some of the specs i've seen. if they can do this but make it 6x zoom… they'll have a winner! I'd even buy one!

What do you think?
