2013 Predictions for Canon EOS Products

[bvukich]

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.....

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

Wait...  there's other things to shoot?

And the photographer would have to think in Russian?

Is Clint involved in this?

Blast from the past.

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???

Supporting what others have said - 7D, if you look through this guys gallery he has loads of photos snapped with a 7D.



Dont know but that red piece somehow makes the body look bad@$$/Evil. Could that red panel indicate pro-line series/bodies like the rings are for their L series lenses? Or it could very well be modified by the user who knows

Definitely a gripped 7D.  There's no lock button on the mode wheel (as mentioned), and the top LCD function buttons are rounded, without the 5Dm3 style nipple on the right most button.  So clearly an "older" (not pre-production) model.  The only difference between the camera in the picture and a factory 7D is the red strip at the top, which is either photoshopped or an after market addition.  No further conjecture necessary.

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.

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

Well, it's a pretty decent job, I would say.

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.

I noticed it, too!
Can't wait to see these two from Fuji and the Olympus OM-D EM-7!

As for me, I'm really excited for the 70D to come out. I was relatively surprised to see it appear as potentially coming out, but I suppose Canon would want to appeal to the "soccer moms" and such as little leauge soccer and baseball seasons are starting up. The features I'm most excited about that would potentially appear on this camera are an improved AF system and improved hish ISO performance. After all, if the 7D MkII is supposed more of a professional camera somewhere in the upper $2K range, then the 70D needs to somehow fill the gap without driving the price up too high. I wonder how they're going to do that....

[hmmm]

With the D7100 showcasing a 24MP sensor with no optical low-pass filter, it's going to kind of tough for Canon to trot out a 70D with the same old 18 MP sensor one more time.   Even if it does have GPS and wi-fi.   Just sayin'....

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

Yes the 3D will have that plus 61pt AF, advanced AI Servo tracking, 120MP and 0.1fps and low ISO DR within a stop of as good as the 5D2

7D2 will have the latest Rebel AF, 24MP and 10fps and high low ISO DR equal to exmor

Oh no!!! Buy the 7Dii or wait for the 3d?
:-)

Ever travelled on THE flying dutchman...not the sailing competition class...I mean the legendary mirage sailing ship some folks claimed to have encountered while at sea...go for the 7DII and your done...the 3D? not as long as Elvis is alive...;-)

Okay, so now we're just making stuff up and printing it?

Fine, me too:
The EOS Me is named as such because it's actually runs on windows Me.  Microsoft is going to run Nikon off the road like they did with the iPod . . . and the iPad/Android Tablets . . . and phones.

And puppies, free puppies for every camera buyer.

Hey this is easy, let's all get together and publish this stuff!

If the 7D2 specs are true, you may never regret that decision.

nah using 5Dmk3s and lenses like the 16-35 f2.8L II and 70-200 f2.8L IS II already make me not regret that decision
