G12 & SX20 Replacements & More

Announcements shortly
We can expect announcements for a few more PowerShot’s in the next 7 days.

There will be a 2nd announcement for an SLR I’m told.

1Ds Mark IV
I’ve been burned with bad information about the camera before, so I’m being very cautious as to what I publish here. I am mentioning this because it’s being sent to me from various places.

The recent flurry of emails points to a 2011 announcement date. Apparently it’s due to the lack of competition in the segement. There’s the D3x and nothing else.

It’s suggested Canon will wait until Nikon shows their cards with a D3xs or D4x.

CR’s Take
I don’t think things work this way. Canon already knows what Nikon has up their sleeves for the most part and the same the other way around. If companies held products back to see what the competition was doing, nothing would ever reach market.

Photokina is a big show, so it’s tough to see just the 60D being introduced for Photokina. Although, the need for trade shows and building product hype is lessening by the year.

Lenses
Nikon will be bringing 2 more lenses to market in the next couple of weeks. I expect Canon to do at least one more.

14-24 & 24-70 are the likely candidates if I go by  recent suggestions.

This is speculation on my part.

1Ds Mark IV & More

1Ds Mark IV
There’s not much to talk about, I’m getting the usual variables in “tips”. Some say it’s coming before Photokina, others claim it’s 6-12 months away. Nothing definitive yet.

24-70 Update
I’m emailed daily about this lens, as I previously mentioned, I haven’t heard anything about a replacement in a long time.

New Flash
I  was told by a decent source we’ll see a new one announced before Photokina.

More cameras coming?
There is at least one announcement day coming. Outside of more Powershots, I have no CR3 info yet.

Firmware
I’m told the 1D Mark IV will be getting a firmware update for Photokina. No word on features. CR1 this one.

60D Manual is Up
You can download the english user manual for the 60D. You’ll notice there is no AF microadjust in the manual.

SX20 Replacement

A bit of info
A lot of people are eager to see the replacement of the SX20.

The only info I have is the following:

1) Replacement this fall.
2) Possibility of two different cameras for the segment.
3) Lithium Ion battery

All of this is CR1

Canon PowerShot G12 Leaked By CNET

Canon G12 Leak from CNET Asia

We were wrong about the sensor in the G12, makes sense that it’s identical again to the S9x camera.

EOS 60D Coming August 26 [CR3]

Where are the SLR’s?
The embargo on the 60D doesn’t end until August 26, 2010. So that’ll be next Thursday.

No word on what else will be announced with it.

Expect at least 2 lenses.

1Ds Mark IV
I’ve heard nothing about an announcement date for the camera, only that it’ll be around for Photokina.

Big White Lenses
A few people are saying all 4 of the big whites are being replaced. This may be true, but I still believe they’ll be updated in pairs.
