Lots coming!
According to Jouko Tuominen is new CEO of Canon Svenska AB, Canon plans to launch 100 new products in the fall.
I’ll assume it isn’t 100 new cameras!

It’s up
Canon EOS Rebel T1i
“If you currently own an EOS 450D or another fairly recent entry-level DSLR from an image quality point of view there is not necessarily a need to upgrade to the EOS 500D. However, the HD video mode, new high-resolution screen or extended ISO range make it easier to justify the expense if you’re likely to use these features. For anybody buying their first DSLR the 500D is an easy recommendation but you might want to have a look at the Nikon D5000 as well. It comes with a similar feature set to the 500D (’only’ 720P video though) and performs slightly better in low light.”
A pretty favorable review.

FF vs APS-H
One of my better sources of information says we should expect the next 1D to remain APS-H. Expect it to be in the 15mp range. No exact number at the moment.
The sensor is completely new. Noise control and dynamic range were the two big engineering goals for the new sensor. Dual DIGIC V will also be present.
No info on frame rate or other specs from this source.

Hey All
I’m heading to Peru next week on a photo expedition as well has some humanitarian stuff.
I’m seeking donations so I can purchase Children’s Multivitamins for a couple of schools in Cusco. I have a lot of local donations.
If you’re in, click donate. 100% of the money raised will go to Paypal for their fees and to the purchase of multivitamins.
Thanks for reading, back to the rumors!

Coming this fall
A different 60D spec list. I’ve heard from this source previously. I’m going back into the depths of the CR email archive to see what they’ve said in the past.
15.1 megapixels
ISO 100-25600
7 fps
Digic V
Movie-mode: 1080p with 30 and 24fps
build in GPS for geo-tagging
only a SD-card slot (no CF)
148×109x75mm and 738g
From the email: “rest like VF and display still the same like 50D. Just some buttons are on other positions and have other functions.”

Cool
Sometimes I post stuff about other brands. Stuff I think is cool.
Front View?
Top View?
Side View?
These may be leaked images of the new Olympus Micro 4/3 camera. I think I’ve had it on preemtive preorder for 6 months. I’m quite eager to see it.

Prime time
Can we expect 2 new Canon L primes in the fall? According to an email this morning the 35L and 135L will both receive upgrades.
Both lenses will incorporate new build design and coatings. We should see them for the fall I’m told.
Macro
There is a new long focal range macro lens being developed with IS. “It would be in the 180mm to 200mm range.”
Big White Lenses
The same source claims no new super telelphoto primes will be launched. However, new 300mm, 400mm, 500mm & 600mm lenses will be tested in Vancouver for the 2010 games and in South Africa for the World Cup.
CR’s Take
The 35L is definately coming, I think with a 1Ds4 launch. I don’ think we’d see a 135L II at the same time.
I do find the testing of the big white lenses to be logical. I can’t see Canon launching in the fall and producing enough to meet the demand.
