Updated Lens Info [CR2]
I’m still waiting on CR3 confirmation, so these are one step lower at CR2.
18-135 3.5-5.6 IS
15-85 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
The macro still holds true.
No 70-200 f/2.8L IS update according to this source.
Good as Gold
"I'm Faster Than You"
This is from one of my Asian sources, thanks for the info.
I don’t have EXACT specs, but I do have some features.
Canon EOS 7D
- Dual DIGIC 4
- Built in Flash Master (Goodbye ST-E2)
- Full HD Video
- APS-C (1.6 Crop)
- Non Articulating LCD
3 New Lenses
- An L Macro will be released with the new Hybrid System
- One other is a non-L lens
- The third is a bit of a mystery still
Underwater Video Camera
- We can expect a waterproof camcorder from Canon as well.

The 7D rumor started way back in January. The specs are off, but the concept of the camera has been correct.
I’m promised more to come.

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.

Two Coming? (New Source)
Another source has come forward and said Canon will be bringing two macro lenses to us this fall.
The popular 100mm f/2.8 Macro will receive an IS upgrade. The 180 Macro focal length will be changed to 200mm.
The general consensus among most sources is the 70-200 f/2.8L IS will also receive an upgrade.
The other rumored lenses up for replacement are the 35L and 135L. I haven’t received any information about either at this time. I can’t see Canon launching 5 lenses at one time. The original rumor about the 35L is that it will appear with a 1Ds update. I still think that’s a strong possibility.
The new Canon Hybrid IS system will definitely be on display this month, so the primes may just have to wait.

More Fishies
News of a 15mm f/2.8 USM has been around for a bit now.
An email sent today (which I couldn’t post till now) says Canon will be introducing a wider fisheye lens. There’s no word on whether or not it’s EF-S or circular.

Current Lens Talk
The following are lenses that are being bandied about for release this fall.
100 f/2.8 IS Macro
200 f/3.5L IS Macro
70-200 f/2.8L IS II
50-200 f/2.8L IS
24-105 f/2.8L IS
15mm f/2.8 USM Fisheye
The only credible information I have on lenses is the two macros. We’ve always had a hard time getting lens info here at Canon Rumors, this round of rumors isn’t any different.
Bodies
The 60D/7D will be arriving to the real world next Tuesday according to most sources. A couple site August 25 as a possibility.
We’ll also be seeing a new Rebel. Canon will trump the D3000 and keep video in their entry level camera.
Flashes
There is nothing on the immediate horizon about flashes.
Powershot
An interesting email claiming Canon would be releasing another waterproof camera. It would have a 5x zoom and HD Video. It’s a [CR1] rumor.
Firmware
The 5D Mark II could be seeing a firmware update “any day now”. No word on what will be added/fixed.
Canon Rumors
The site is onto the dedicated server. We had very minimal downtown last night. All seems to be working fine.
Sorting through emails, more to come this afternoon.
cr
Could be
We’re told to expect 2 new Macro lenses to be launched. Possibly in August with the new SLR(s).
EF 100 f/2.8 IS Macro
EF 200mm f/3.5L IS Macro
We’re told the current 100 Macro would remain current for the time being. There won’t be an update to an EF-S macro.

An old rumor returns
According to this post at POTN, the 135L has been dropped from the current lens lineup.
