*UPDATE*
The something “big” teaser from Canon India turns out to be a photo contest. See it here.

We're told there are tons of new DSLR products coming for Photokina this September. The announcement for the new stuff should happen on September 4th or 5th, depending on where you are in the world. Our source has mentioned a DSLR body as well as a host of lenses for various budgets.

What will be announced?
First up, the successor to the EOS 7D will be announced. We're told that there's “a lot of the 1D X” in the new camera. As well as some revolutionary sensor technology.

What about lenses?
We're getting more confirmations that the EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS will be replaced by a new version with a rotating zoom instead of the push/pull design that the lens currently uses. It looks like Canon India is teasing a new “big” lens on their Facebook page.

The following lenses I'd rate as [CR1], as they're the first time I've heard about them for Photokina this year.

We're told that at least one EF-S lens is possible, most likely a replacement to the EF-S 18-200. The lens could be replaced with an 18-300 IS STM.

Another lens we're told to expect is targeted at the EOS 6D user. It will be a “cheaper version of the 28-300L” lens. Canon is lacking a big range non L zoom for full frame cameras.
