Canon EOS 100D Detailed Specs Appear

[c.d.embrey]

How small is it
Canon 100D                3.6 H x 4.6 W x 2.7 D - weight 13.96 Oz
Panasonic Lumix G5  3.28 H x 4.72 W x 2.79 D - weight 13.1 Oz

Here's the comparison of th G5 amd T4i http://camerasize.com/compare/#347,333 The 100D is close to the G5 in size, so that's one small APS-C camera. The main difference is the height 3.28 vs 3.6.

I wonder how Canon reacts to these kinds of mishaps on retailer websites. Do they send out warnings or just choose to ignore it?

More like Canon carefully plans the leaks...not sure however if this is legit actually...but it is a rumor afterall.

I think Canon dilutes thier lineup with too many of the same cameras. Why would a consumer buy this vs the T4i for the same price? What's different about this and the T4i (maybe I missed that)?

These specs are vague. One thing I noticed was that it had optical stabilization as "yes." Does that mean in body stabilization finally?

That was the first ... okay only ... thing that caught my eye.  If correct, it would certainly seem to be an odd strategy for Canon, as they have been putting IS into a lot of their new lenses (35mm f/2, for instance).

This is a very good marketing decision, I had people tell me that they would buy a SLR if it was not so big.
Compare even the Rebel to an A1 and you will see how much bigger the rebel is. I look at my old A1 and wish the modern DSLRs were as small as it was. It seems that the large DSLRs are marketed at the crowd that believes the bigger the better.
Unlike buying a P&S with a fixed lens, a purchaser of a DSLR will very likely buy more lenses, then once you have some lenses you are "stuck" with a brand of a camera.

[hmmm]

One more random thought: Maybe this is going to be badged the Powershot 100D.

The marketing department strikes again!

Why am I not getting excited

Dear Mr. Canon,
Can you bring your FF mirrorless soon?

Here is the "EOS-b" (placeholder name? EOS-"baby"?) page at Best Buy:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Canon+-+EOS-b+18.0-Megapixel+DSLR+Camera+with+EF-S+18-55mm+Zoom+Lens/8153056.p;jsessionid=FBE3200F8A85AF839C4B49F9F8AA93AD.bbolsp-app03-131?id=1218865165970&skuId=8153056&st=8575B003&cp=1&lp=1

Only thing remotely interesting except for its size: "Hybrid CMOS AF II" which "offers a widened focusing area for enhanced speed and accuracy"

Dimensions for comparison:

EOS-M: 4.29 x 2.6 x 1.26
EOS-b: 4.6 x 3.6 x 2.7
T3/1100D: 5.12 x 3.94 x 3.07
T4i/650D: 5.24 x 3.94 x 3.11
6D: 5.71 x 4.37 x 2.8

I'm trying to figure out what would happen if 0.34" were cut off of the T3/T4i and still maintain compatibility with all possible EF lenses.  Maybe no protruding Canon bulge in the front and therefore not as tall of a flash?

Is it surprising to anyone else that Best Buy has it available for preorder before BH and Adorama?

[AG]

Are you sure someone didnt just doctor the spec list for the 1100D? Because thats pretty much what this seems like but with the 18MP sensor and a 3" rear screen.

[J.R.]

Yet another (rumored) Canon product that folks here at CR (myself included) don't think anyone needs!

In an odd sort of way this reminds me of the situation with the 24-70 f/4 lens - my initial reactions were ... WTF! what's the point here?

[Bigjezza]

I hate to break it to y'all, but that's not a camera.

It's a mechanical black poodle.

No, really!
