DSLR & Lens Coming on January 15, 2013? [CR1]

[Canon Rumors]

More announcements next week?

Beyond the announcement of the “Canon Experience Stores“, I am being told a DSLR and lens is coming next week as well.  It’s “probably” going to be the EOS 70D and not the EOS 7D Mark II, it wasn’t mentioned which lens was coming.

I think the 70D is going to be an incremental update to the 60D when it is announced. Whereas the 7D Mark II will likely see more of an upgrade in feature set.

No confirmation from known sources on these announcements, beyond the Canon Store being unveiled.

50mm 1.4 II?

Could it be another STM lens? If the 70d was to include the video focusing 'capabilities' of the 650d then that might be a possibility.

Slow week at CR?  Yet another CR1's to pass the time? 
What happened to the Jan 8th 35L II and 14-24L UWA from last week?

Incremental update vs upgrade. wtf

[Haydn1971]

That's a bit of a relief actually - 70D now is much more likely to use the same sensor as the 650D, which paves the way for a upgraded higher mpx count on the 7DII at say 22-24mpx and top flight AF, leaving room for the 700D, 750D & 80D to catch up until a 7DIII ;-)

So if it's not the 70D or 7D MkII, what on Earth will it be? Is it really "Rebel" time again, or perhaps it's this rumoured smaller DSLR that Canon kept on claiming was possible before they launched EOS-M (anyone remember the recent viewfinder patent)?

Lens: 14-24 F/2.8?

7D II would be a significant deal for Canon...they won't just drop such a SLR body cold via a CR1 rumor here.

We would have heard a lot more through different well-orchestrated PR channels to maximize expectations and hype...Canon would make a big song and dance about it and promote it with teasers etc....

If we are lucky we may get some mangy second rate product... but given the CR1 rumor track record recently, nothing at all may come on the Jan 13th other than another CR1 rumor for Jan 21st.

Its called "keep the pot boiling".

ot the week will pass with no announcement at all.. as usual.

+1 agreed.

Plus it is silly to expect something major every few weeks!!!

First it was January 8th and now it's January 15th.

Hmm, I can be a 'source'  too then.

Just predict every week that there will be an announcement next week.
By the end of the year, I'll be correct at least once.

+1000

[Dukinald]

Gives me a good excuse to keep $$$$ in my wallet..at least for another week   

...and to the time the product is really available in stores...(7D2 pretty please, please)....

I think the 70D is going to be an incremental update to the 60D when it is announced. Whereas the 7D Mark II will likely see more of an upgrade in feature set.

Wrong.

They will both be incremental updates because that is what Canon does.
