EOS 100D Coming? [CR1]

[Canon Rumors]

Tweet

The Small DSLR

We were told this morning that two new EOS cameras will be announced on March 21/22, 2013. One of them will be the “diminutive” EOS 100D and the other was unnamed by this new source. It was also mentioned that the price of the EOS 100D was “a bit expensive”.

The same source said no 70D was coming this week, and it will be announced later in the spring. This point contradicts the information given by some pretty good sources, though it’s not impossible that things have changed since I first heard good info about the 70D.

How does this even make sense?!

Compaired to what? and EOS M or a Powershot or a 1DX   

Naaa, pinch of salt must be a slow weekend at rumour towers

Probably "a bit expensive" for what you get ...

yeah canon give us more crap....

This should be CR0.

A 100D would fit between the 70D and 650D (or the to-be 700D).

Would Canon really do that?

This will be an outstanding camera that will silence all the critics. The camera is so good that Canon has skipped over the 70D, the 80D, the 90D, and gone straight to the 100D. I am sure it will take high megapixel pictures in complete darkness with no noise, shoot 8K video, and even make coffee in the morning.... Of course it will be "a little expensive", but probably no more than  a 600 f4....

Canon M100 perhaps ?  A mirrorless DSLR wannabe ?   Circa £800 ?

I'm going to probably agree with you on that.

[ddashti]

Well, this is quite unexpected... The name gives the impression of it being similar to the 1100D, which makes no sense.

That made me laugh!

It doesn't make much sense with the numbering system they have going.  Unless this is their new range of "Small" DSLRs, in which case they don't really have much of a place to put it... Can't put it below the xxxxD range into something like a 10000D, that wouldn't sound good. And can't put it into the xxD or xD range since it's not likely to be that high on features.  So that does kind of leave sticking it above the current xxxxD range, like a 2000D (but that's really Y2K era marketing and kind of dated), or below the current xxxD range, like a 100D.   And given the number of cameras with a "100" in their name: Sony RX-100, Fuji x100, ect. they may be trying to cash in on that.

This could be part of a full-range realignment:

7D II moves upscale (new sensor tech)

70D moves upscale (same new sensor tech, but may be first manifestation)

650D transforms to 100D (since they actually started this range at 300D) and gets smaller, but moves upscale. Last hurrah for old sensor tech, or entry level on the new sensor tech.

1200D gets smaller and becomes a solid entry-level on the old 18mp sensor tech.
OR
EOS M range expands and picks up the current XXXXD's niche.

Yup! Don, way to go! Actually Canon has done that before. They left the 5D, 50D and 500D behind and went straight to 1000D but nobody took notice. That was due to the fact that the 1000D was "a little inexpensive". So I guess they figured the problem and are about to launch the saviour...

Maybe it's a mirrorless 650D with an electronic viewfinder and an EF/EF-S Mount?
