2013 Predictions for Canon EOS Products

[dolina]

Gents,

Remember these are all RUMORS. So look at it as a rough idea of what the future can bring.

[wickidwombat]

The 3D will have eye-controlled focus and a blink-activated shutter. You heard it here first.   

But Nikon is working on thought-controlled cameras.....

then they will get loads of complaints from people
saying they are getting the following text imprinted accross their image

"HaHa sucked in canon users that dont have 14.1 stops of DR"

[Don Haines]

a 7D2, a 70D, and a 700D..... all APS-C and lots of rumours as to specs....
a 3D, rumoured to be the mythical high megapixel camera

but what is this EOS-Me? Is it above or below the EOS-M? Are there any rumours as to it's specifications?

[tiger82]

EOS Me will be the Windows Me of the camera world.

[TheBadger]

I know that this is a bit off topic but I couldn't help to notice an X-Pro2 and a X-E2 down the Fuji line for this year! Are you serious? The E-X1 haven't even had one year since its launch and now there is an X-E2??? Makes you wonder the reliability of these predictions.

Anyone know what Canon camera is in this below linked picture?  Never seen one with the red piece by the hotshoe.

Update:Even more suspicious is the Canon logo has been removed, this has a pop-up flash and looks to be in new condition.  Can't place the lens either the more I look at this - size wise looks like the 85mm 1.2 but the bulge appears different by the camera mount from the current 85,1.2???

Lens is the 50L. Camera looks like a 7D.  If it was a new body, it would have the locking mode dial. The 7D has a separate piece of plastic where that red piece is, would be one click with the PS magic wand and a color change.

That's what it looks like to me as well. As for the red panel, could also be paint or tape. Perhaps a test body?

I don't want to falsely accuse someone, but does anyone else think there is something weird going on with this picture? The monk's left hand isn't supporting the camera and doesn't appear to be anywhere near the camera actually. I can't imagine why anyone would Photoshop the camera in and maybe it's just my imagination, but something doesn't look right.

And the photographer would have to think in Russian?

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. It is a cut-paste job. This jumped out at me the moment I saw the photo.

I do not think it is 7d. And maybe the locked dial is not there as this would be a pre-production model and the lock will come in once actual production starts.

Lens is a 50 f/1.2. Camera has a grip, and a similar layout to a 7D

There would have to be the option to turn this off, because some days I would want to shoot something other than boobs...

The camera has a battery grip attached to the bottom.

Oh No!!

Then I won't see anything on my long exposures on Bulb mode!   

[bseitz234]

So, will the camera's max FPS be determined by how fast you can blink? I think the 1dx is faster than my max blink speed...
