From Facebook, E-Mail & [NL]
Received some information that’s new and matches some recent NL information.
More of the same stuff really.
7D Design Goals
The Lord of Darkness
- Speed (Apparently this may have the highest FPS of any DSLR ever)
- Dual Processors and Card Slots
- HD Video
- Articulating Screen
- Pro Style AF System
- Much Better LiveView Autofocus
- Noise Control
- Increased Dynamic Range
Rebel T1
This should be released alongside the 7D next week. Basically an XSi with a movie mode (720p tops).
60D & 1D4
The 60D will be moved back to a 18 month product cycle and will be released with a 1D4 upgrade in February. The winter Olympics aren’t as big of a deal as the World Cup is. If it was the summer games, different story. There’s no rush to get a 1D4 to the market.
60D may see a megapixel decrease. There will be new emphasis on image quality, noise control and dynamic range.
70-200 f/2.8L IS II
The perfect mate to a new speed demon camera. I’m told to expect it. I don’t have CR3 information on it yet.
As I said, this is more of the same information told in a different way from the last few weeks.
Big White Lenses
I’m also told to expect 2 of the big white lenses to get a redo along with the 1D Mark IV/4. The 500 and 600 are deemed the most likely by at least a couple of sources.
L Primes
I haven’t received any confirmation that the 135L is indeed being replaced. Most of my information I have about L prime updates dates back a fair ways. The 35L II to appear alongside a new 1Ds Mark IV? That’s still all we have at the moment.

All signs point to August 19
According to a Danish site, Canon will be making their next round of PowerShot & EOS announcements August 19, 2009.
http://zoom.comon.dk/nyheder/Nyheder-fra-Canon-19-august-1.237240.html
The PowerShot lineup will receive its updates. There will also be 2 SLR’s according to multiple sources. The obvious 60D/7D camera and a 2000D/T1.
Another email stated August 25, 2009 would be the day for announcements, but my money is on the 19th.

Site Outage
Well that was annoying as heck.
For the first time ever, I didn’t actually break the site!
Very sorry about that.
T1/2000D
I can admit when i get bilked.
I got bilked.
None of my solid sources has said anything about the T1/2000D, I only received info from new folks. It didn’t work out.
This is the first time we’ve blown it for a release date. I won’t post anything about it until I get some more solid info from better places.
Rumors
I’m sorting out some site stuff and will be posting some new stuff in the next 2 hours.
Thanks for reading everyone, I really do appreciate it.

Weekly thing?
An email claiming Canon will announce the T1/2000D on July 7, 2009 arrived a short while ago.
“It was scheduled for last tuesday, but since three delays caused so much expectations, management area decided to wait a little more and announce it next week with a lot of fanfare.”
That seems doubtful, I can’t see the T1/2000D garnering a lot of “fanfare”.
Another suggestion is Canon is waiting for the D3000 announcement. It’s rumored Nikon will omit video from it. All signs point to the T1/2000D having video. +1 for Canon.
Still, no CR3 sources have said anything in regards to the T1/2000D.

24-70 f/2.8L IS
A couple of people have reported to seeing the lens in the wild. One “witness” said the lens hood was very different.
As with most of these sightings, no pics are available.
35 f/1.8
A 35 f/1.8 is being reported again. NL has posted about it. We posted about it a while ago here and here.
T1/2000D Announcement
We were burned on this one! No T1/2000D as of yet. I have no CR3 sources piping up about such an announcement.
One person commented that perhaps Canon is preparing an announcement with a little more fanfare.
Canon merging stepper sales, production ops – Nikkei
June 30 (Reuters) – Canon Inc, the world’s largest digital-camera maker, plans to bring sales of its semiconductor steppers under the same division that handles production in order to increase responsiveness to customer demands in a shrinking market, the Nikkei business daily reported. Read More…. (thanks peter)

The Final Specs?
This is apparently what we will be seeing from Canon shortly.
T1/2000D Specifications
- 15.1mp
- 7 AF points
- 3fps
- ISO 100-3200
- 3″ ClearView LCD (Not Articulating)
- 720P Video (30fps & 24fps) NO 1080p
- SD Card
- USB 2.0
- HDMI Out
- Video Out
- LP-E5 Battery
I’m still hearing Tuesday for the announcement. No CR3 sources have piped up yet.
UPDATE
A few points I’d like to make about this spec list and how it compares to the T1i.
- If this spec list is true, then I’d expect a firmware update for the T1i. Adding 24fps or 30fps 1080p video.
- I’d also expect the T1i to have a bigger and brighter viewfinder.
- There will be probably be software differences withing the cameras like the XS and XSi.
- The 3fps would probably be for jpg, retaining the 1.5fps in RAW of the XS.
- Perhaps no face detection LiveView focusing.

I received a straight to the point email. It stated we can expect an announcement from Canon on Tuesday, June 30, 2009.
What will be announced?
Not what you want!
T1/2000D should be making its way into the mainstream.
No spec list was sent, I expect one soon.

1D4 Frame Rate
An anonymous email says the new 1D4 will be a 12fps camera. This is the reason it is staying APS-H.
60D
New battery and battery grip?
Apparently so.
The Bp-511 has been around a long time and is overdue to be replaced with a chipped and more expensive battery. A new battery grip will contain new ergonomic features. Those features are unknown at this time.
2000D
New source says the new Rebel will not have a tilt and swivel screen.
Peru
I’m in Cusco at the moment and having a wonderful time. I’ve only spent 1 full day here.
Thanks to everyone for the donations, I will post a pic of the kids you helped later in the week.

Better than a 1D4
The announcement for the T1/2000D could be as soon as June 9, 2009.
I have another report that says it’ll be announced June 23, 2009.
