Japan
There’s a cash back program in Japan on the 50D. Save about $220 on a 50D with an 18-200 and $125 on a 50D with a 17-85.ÂÂ

Canada
No rebates to announce yet, I can’t remember the last time Canada didn’t have a rebate program in the summer months.
There’s an instant rebate on the T1i at the moment with multiple lens kits. Saving a few dollars anyway.

TOKYO - Japan’s Canon Inc reported an 88 per cent fall in quarterly profit, hit by slumping demand for copiers and printers, but it raised its annual outlook on cost cuts and a weakening yen.
Demand for office machines and their supplies such as toner cartridges remained weak as the global financial crisis made the replacement cycle of copiers and printers longer and prompted corporate clients not to use them as heavily as before.
Finally!
PocketWizard is happy to announce they have received a file on record with Industry Canada for the legal sale of the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 in Canada.
What does this mean?
PocketWizard MiniTT1’s and FlexTT5’s are now available for sale in Canada.

New iPhone camera remote from onOne software – Turn your iPhone into a remote control for your camera with the help of onOne software.
OnOne software have developed a new application called the DSLR Remote.
Designed to work with Canon EOS DSLRs, the new wireless cable release is designed to be triggered by an iPhone application. From your iPhone you can control settings such as the white balance as well as using it to fire the camera shutter. If you have a camera that supports Live View you can even get a live stream of the camera’s viewfinder on your iPhone.
The DSLR Remote application is available from the iTunes App Store at an introductory price of $9.99 (The application usually retails at $19.99.) A “Lite†version will also be available for $1.99 that only fires the shutter. The required server software that runs on your Mac or Windows computer will be a free download from the onOne website.
Visit onOne software for more details.

More FPS!
A possibility for the next 1D is variable FPS based on whether or not RAW or sRAW is selected.
“If the camera is set to sRAW 1 it will be able to shoot 12fps”
Movie Mode?
“This isn’t a forgone conclusion. There is a 50/50 chance we may not see movie mode in the next 1D. If we do see it in a pro body, it will be the 1Ds4.”
CR’s take: I think there will be some kind of movie mode in the camera, I don’t expect anything more than what’s in the 5D2.
Live View?
“A new live view technology exists, we’re more likely to see it in a prosumer body.”
That’s it for now

No IS
There may be a lens launch for the T1/2000D in June.
Following Nikon and Sigma’s lead, Canon could be ready to launch a replacement of their 35 f/2 and 50 f/1.4 lenses.
EF 35 f/1.8 USM
EF 50 f/1.4 USM
It was suggested there’s a possibility the 35 may be an EF-S mount.
The 35L replacement will be coming with a pro body.

Busy today
I’m working on some very tedious stuff for the backend of the site.
Price Watch
I’ve added lenses, flashes and PowerShots to the Price Watch section of the site.
I’ve only listed 3 retailers for all these updates, 100% of sales came from Amazon, Adorama or B&H for Canon Rumors.
I removed Canadian prices for everything other than the bodies.
I may in the future add some international pricing, but I’ll leave it at being in the distant future.
There may be some zoom lenses and PowerShots missing from the price watch lists. For the lenses I posted the most current and in demand products. For the PowerShots, I’ve put up the most recent version of a camera line.
Rebel T1i & D10 Reviews
These reviews will be up before end of business Sunday.
