2000D & 60D [CR1]

[Canon Rumors]

2000D

I’m told the 2000D will have the articulating screen that has been sometimes rumored to be a feature of the 60D.

60D

A few features sent in today. Could be crazy.

- DIGIC V

- A New Liveview/EOS Movie AF system that is much faster than what is currently available.

- Some kind of a rotating grip for making video shooting easier.

No idea what to make of this stuff, it’s the first I’ve heard of any of it.

rotating grip? that would be interesting to see.  Most people don't like spending hundreds of dollars on a stedicam or a dslr shoulder rig just to get a steady moving shot.

Given the rumors of Nikon's AF in movie mode for the rumored 3100, I'd think this would be a wise segment differentiator for Canon to include in the 60D.

I hope the 60D has AF in video and good IQ in low light.  One of the reasons I wanted to upgrade my XTi, was because of the video capabilities of newer bodies. Then I started researching which body to purchase, and realized that it was not really a good replacement for my video camera for home video.  The AF, IS and Audio issues all prevented them from being used as a run and gun solution.  I realize that there will still be shortcoming when compared to a dedicated video camera, but it would be nice to be able to capture video in a pinch from my DSLR.

It goes for this rumour and just about every future one - Canon does not do official leaks and it guards its pre-release info very closely.  99.9% of "rumours" reported will be just made up by people who like lying.  Unless there is a convincing picture to prove it or it comes from an official source, odds are that any rumour will be made up.  Sad but true.

I don't know if I want an articulating screen. It seems like it may come in handy, but it would not be as compelling as a better sensor or GPS.

I hope this 60D has anti shock capabilities and water resistant until 3/5 meters below , it would be cool when we can shot under water like swimming pool

Hi everybody!

I hope 60D will be finally launched this autumn with video capabilities and at least 1,6 crop sensor size, but I hope maybe for a 1,3 crop size. I'm dying to replace my 300D finally!

I really hope that the 60d comes out.  I have been waiting a while for it and I'm very anxious.  I have all of the software (Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3) but I just need the camera!  grr

I really hope the rumors of 18mp are not true. The new live view/movie mode AF system sounds really useful though. Here's a blog post I wrote about the impending 60D and what I'd like to see: http://www.aputure.com/blog/?p=218

I think they should ditch the 1000D is make the 450D the entry level body.  It is a great camera to get started with and does not have the complication of a movie mode.
