EOS Bodies / Re: 4 More DSLRs Coming in 2012? [CR2]

What about a boring old replacement for the 1100D? Not very sexy, but certainly possible, especially if it's in Q4

EOS Bodies / Re: Pre-order 1dx for £5299
« on: October 20, 2011, 03:32:20 PM »(That appears to be £4370.67 or $6,871.90 USD)
I'm starting to get proper pissed off with the price gap between the UK and USA. Grrrr!

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon naming protocol
« on: October 16, 2011, 07:00:12 AM »
I did wonder whether they might start shortening the increments, i.e. 620D, 640D, 660D, etc, but I think from a marketing point of view they might suffer from the casual observer thinking 'well, they jumped from 550 to 600, but this new one is only 20 points "better" than the last one? What's wrong with it?'
I think we'll see a totally new naming system come up within the next 3 iterations.
I totally agree with you on Nikon's system by the way, it's a mess. I think the same about their lens names, but that's more because I can't be bothered to learn what all the letters mean.

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon naming protocol
« on: October 15, 2011, 04:19:59 PM »Anyway, my actual question is this - what happens when, in a few years, Canon reach the point where they've gotten all the way to 950D, and have nowhere to go? They can't go around to 1000D again.
In Canon's high end, compact P&S line, there was the S90, then the S95. The S100 was just announced as the S95-successor, 14 MP CMOS, 5x zoom, great IQ. But don't confuse the new PowerShot S100 with the PowerShot S100 that's an old, 2 MP, 2x zoom, cheap P&S.
So, I guess they could reuse a number...
Good point, well made

EOS Bodies / Canon naming protocol
« on: October 15, 2011, 02:03:39 PM »
Here in Europe, the cameras that our American cousins refer to as T3 and T3i are called the 1100D and the 600D. I have a 400D, which they may know as the XTi. Basically, the names started at 300D and increased in 50 point increments up to the current 600D. The 1100D is an upgrade of the 1000D, and is quite obviously the bottom of the range. Sorry if I'm teaching you all to suck eggs, so to speak, but I want to establish a bit of context for those that are unaware of the difference in naming.
Anyway, my actual question is this - what happens when, in a few years, Canon reach the point where they've gotten all the way to 950D, and have nowhere to go? They can't go around to 1000D again. I realise this is some way off, but it's also inevitable unless a change is made to their European naming protocol. There's mention elsewhere on this forum that the 'D' portion of camera names nowadays are largely pointless - will canon ditch it altogether before their hand is forced? Will they go over to the XTi/T3/etc naming worldwide? Or will we go all Japanese and start shooting with Kiss X cameras? Of course, the xxD range can keep on going beyond 100D, but there'll still be some confusion over the fact that it'll then be a xxxD camera, at least in name.
Your thoughts on this admittedly silly subject gratefully received!

Well, I own one 'pro' lens, according to that list. Now to get the two bodies and two more lenses!

You must admit, this may be the wrong forum to announce that you're sick of rumours...

EOS Bodies / Re: 7D + 50mm 1.8
« on: October 05, 2011, 10:13:16 AM »Also, I suggest shooting at f2.8 for 50 f1.8, it's sharpest at f2.8 and will allow less light to pass through.
Sound advice - your out-of-focus areas look even better when the area in focus is super-sharp, which it won't be at f/1.8. A good start, that ^
