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

New rear lens caps.

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.

Canon is ok with a lot of bashing if there's a lot of buying at the same time ;-p

The problem is that some of the 60D bashers up-graded to the Nikon D7000 The question is will the EOS 70D be more of the same-old-same-old and cause more Canon users to become Nikon users

...and some of the D800 bashers upgraded to the Canon 5DIII. So what?

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... 

+1 for humor.
+1000 for sharing...

Personally, I was very pleased with the 60D...
Give the 70D AFMA and better high ISO performance and it would be a winner for me.
Unfortunately, I fear that canon uses AFMA (amongst other things) to push serious users higher up the ladder...
I was just in the local canon dealership to see if they showed any tells or tics when asked about upcoming stuff, but either they are very good p0ker players or else they are in the dark like us...

Well, at least it is a Tuesday...;-) So, looking forward to a CR3 for a 14-24 announcement. If not, I will get the 16-35 sometime later this year and will get at least some decent CR2s every now and then.

Well since there's a snowballs chance in hell a possible 14-24 will have filter threads it's a 16-35 for me , B&H…here's my money.
What B+W do I need that will hold a Canon cap? The XS-Pro?

Yep - XS-Pro is what you want.

EOS 70D - old sensor tech
7D Mark II - new sensor tech

... just giving the pot a little stir

[Marsu42]

EOS 70D - old sensor tech
7D Mark II - new sensor tech

7D Mark II - [CR1], unanounced

With every last Canon camera iteration people expected "new sensor tech" but were disappointed: 650d, 5d3, 6d... as each new lens is surely "THE" lens like the upcoming 14-24L.

But realistically, Canon is more about incremental updates than big leaps, and the really useful stuff is sure to end up in a high-end and/or very expensive body first coupled with a healthy early adopters premium.

7D2 - top of the range crop no?
Top of the range pro is all about reliability and getting the job done is that really the best place to test out new sensor tech? I'd have thought something around the 7D would be about right. Hey what do I know only having fun it is rumours after all

TS-E 45mm f/2.8 II

[wickidwombat]

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.

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.

oh dont be like that I enjoy the APS-H vs APS-C sparing with you guys

Just a day and some hours for the 15th. This will be interesting. Whatever camera it is I hope there are some noticeably upgrades.
