Canon Rumors in Ecuador
Should be fun!
I am currently sitting in Atlanta on a stopover before heading to Quito, Ecuador tonight. I flew in from Dublin and I’m enjoying t he R&R. Quite tired already.
I have posted a journal/article about the trip that I hope some of you find interesting. I’ll obviously be posting photographs as internet access allows. I’ll also be reviewing a couple of products from Singh-Ray Filters and Gura Gear.
Pardon any grammatical or spelling errors, I can’t proof read well when I’m tired.
Read the article (I will attempt to update it daily and it’ll be at the top of the site)

Canon Rumors Forum Update
Changed things up
We’ve decided that the forum needed to be switched up a bit. There just wasn’t enough categories to cover the range of topics, so we’ve streamlined some parts, and expanded others.
List of the biggest changes
- Added a “Gear talk” section, this area will be for gear & photography topics and not rumors.
- Streamlined the rumors section, this area will be kept to just rumors and speculation.
- Added image gallery categories
- Added a video & movie gallery category
- Added a technical support board.
We are in the process of moving topics to their new category if need be, so the forum may be a little messy for a couple of days.

A Note About The [CR] Rating
[CR3] & [CR4] Explained
Currently we operate with a rating system ranging from [CR0] to [CR3]. [CR3] is something we deem as fact.
However, some folks have pointed out past [CR3]‘s that proved not to be true. The reason is because we used to go up to [CR4]. If you do a search for [CR4] things on Canon Rumors, you’ll find a few.
When I changed the rating system, I guess I never thought about the effect that ditching the [CR4] rating would bring about.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Canon Rumors Changes
Facelift!
Some of you may, or may not have noticed a slight facelift to Canon Rumors. I mostly just wanted to clean things up.
Canon Rumors Sponsors
Canon Rumors is my day job now, so it has to make some revenue. That being said, I am very much into the soft sell. I don’t want to be posting “deals” to the main blog every single day. I don’t think most of you come here for that.
I think a lot of you will also notice there are less ads on Canon Rumors now. That isn’t because there isn’t demand, it’s because I don’t want my sidebar populated with 10 ads! That’s of no benefit to the advertiser or the reader.
So how can you help?
The Price Watch pages are there as a service and if you click links in there, I receive a small commission. Again, it’s not in your face advertising, but it’s there if you want to utilize it.
I wanted to expand things a bit further for advertisers and for readers that are interested in deals. What I have started is a forum for registered forum users where I will post sponsor deals. Most will be coupon codes of some kind, others will just be links to some exclusive offers.
Today we’re launching with a LensRentals.com coupon code, and some Sigma for Canon deal’s from Abe’s of Maine. I have a few more planned this week.
I thank you for your support, and I won’t post about this again.

NAB 2011
I’ll be in Las Vegas from the 10th of April until the 13th to attend the NAB show. I hope to meet some of you there. I’m going to see if Lisa Bettany will sponsor a limo arrival for me. :)

*Update* Canon Rumors & Facebook
*Update*
The fine folks at Facebook don’t seem to respond to emails in regards to killed accounts in a timely matter. Perhaps they killed a whole host of accounts. I know Nikon Rumors Guy lost his accounts too.
I’ve started a new fan page. You can click the link at the top to “Like it” or the link below. It shouldn’t take long to repopulate it.
It finally happened
I heard the rumors it was coming, and alas it came. The “Canon Rumors Guy” facebook account has been disabled since that moniker is not that of a real person.
So what now?
I hate Facebook (you are free to love it, I am not judging), I do not have a personal account, nor do I ever want one again. It appears I cannot have a fan page without having a facebook account. It was great of them to officially warn me so I could have a contigency plan.
Stay tuned, I’ll figure something out.

5D Mark II Replacement
Time to address the questions
I am getting a ton of questions regarding the 5D Mark II and how much longer it’s going to be a current camera. While I obviously have nothing definitive, there are been a few pieces of information come my way in regards to a Canon roadmap.
5D Mark III
- A Q2/Q3 announcement in 2011, this is not yet decided within Canon.
- Big megapixel boost, 28mp +
- Continue to build on EOSHD and supreme image quality.
- A variant of the 7D AF system.
- I can’t see them not calling it 5D Mark III, the 5D name carries a lot of weight.
- Expect it to be in the same $2699 range the 5D Mark II was at launch.
- Obvious ergonomic upgrades.
I get asked a lot if people are safe to buy a 5D Mark II now. The answer is “yes”, it’s a great camera today and it’ll still be a great camera in a year.
There is not a lot of urgency for Canon & Nikon to launch new higher end cameras in the current economic climate. Things look to improve in 2011. The 5D Mark II also still sells extremely well.
Forum Moderator
I need a couple of forum moderators, just send “Canon Rumors Guy” a message from within the forum.
