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

[Shane1.4]

Please be the 50mm 1.4

Please be the 50mm 1.4

if its the 70D
the lens will be EF-S

new decent 18-200 STM perhaps?

"I think the 70D is going to be an incremental update to the 60D when it is announced."

So they've started production on the 50D again?

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".

Yeah some new process sensor 7D2 with 5D3 AF, coming in 2 days with no solid rumors of any sort, no leaked pics? No way.

70D, if anything, and I really wonder about that, doubtful unless it just recycles the current sensors.

The brand on top of the heap has no need to take risks.

It is also why the brand on top always gets knocked off and usually never rises in stunning way.

To me this forum is mostly humor. In a nice kind of way.

Serious yes, but humor/rumor (it rhymes!) more.

and nothing wrong with smilies...

OMFG, I really love this forum.  This may be my favorite stream yet.  So, my guess is, if the rumor is correct, an xxD body with STM capability and a new STM lens.  Makes sense that STM will get beefed up and that feature sets will expand while the STM lens family grows in the direction of prosumer needs.  But I may be wrong!  Someone please hand my a$$ to me and wax eloquently on the subject of my ignorant stupidity.

Back-up prediction - a blandish xxD and the 14-24mm, or maybe a rush to announce a 35mm f/ 1.4 to respond to respond to the apparently sweet new Sigma 35mm f/1.4.

I love Canon cameras and lenses, and I love all you Canonite/Canonista fans/lurkers/trolls. Happy belated New Years to you all.

[Ricku]

14-24L or nothing!

[that1guyy]

What's this stuff about "incremental upgrade?" Do you have anything to back this up or are you just thinking aloud?

Personally, I am expecting a brand new sensor with superior IQ and ISO performance to the 18mp sensor that is in use. Also, 6 fps, the new digic 5 or 5+ processor, a headphone jack for video, and maybe some other updates for video like high bit rate, low compression codec and maybe better frame rate options.

Also, an updated body with better ergonomics is welcome.

[Frage]

Same sensor as in 650d, for sure. That is sad.

[knifez]

It'll obviously be a Canon 3D with 18stops of DR, for $1399.. you guys are all way off!!

Yup, the above is what would be an "incremental upgrade."

If you want to die laughing, look up any thread about the 7D, or even aps-c vs fullframe. The poor 7D gets bashed to infinity. The 7D mk II will probably also get bashed to infinity, unless it is aps-h, in which case only half of the bashers will bsh, but they will bash twice as much. If it is full frame, the bashers will stop bashing, then they will look at the price tag, and then there will be a thousand dark threads blackening the sky with the smoke of their "Canon charges too much" bashing.

Eh, if it isn't APS-C then all of those with EF-S lenses will be bashing and there are lot of those folks.
