Anyone sad about no T4i/650D announcement

[dichiaras]

Very disappointed! Yes, there was a CR2 about t4i being released on either February 28 or today, but nothing.

I would like to upgrade from my 1100D (my first DSLR), but unless I go fullframe, the 550D-600D (basically the same camera except for the swiveling screen), 60D, 7D all have the same sensor, which gives IQ almost identical to the 1100D. So unless a new crop sensor shows up, I'm sticking with my bare bone DSLR.

Very disappointed indeed. Still waiting to upgrade my 300D. With the release of the 650D, prices of the 600D (and perhaps also the 7d) are likely to drop...

[NormanBates]

me too
I was hoping for a 5D3, but the steep price is leaving me out of that market
a new rebel without aliasing/moire in video and improved low ISO would be my new target, but I doubt we'll see that before the 7D2 is out (i.e. if there's a new rebel out before the 7D2, I don't think it's going to be good enough for me to upgrade)

These new Canon prices scare me. I can see Canon releasing a really nice 7D successor and expecting people to pay $2500 for a crop sensor HDSLR.  LOL

With the rumors that the new Rebel will come a price about 1k, is very unlikely the prices of 600d to drop...

I'm disappointed ... for many months I was waiting for a T3I (or 60D) replacement .... Any change to see soon a canon T4I or 70D???

I'm not sure about the 650D/T4i -it may appear soon, but my guess is that Canon feel that they really need a new sensor to distinguish it from its two predecessors.  Without a new sensor, they'd have to upgrade key specifications to differentiate the 650D, such as the autofocus system (e.g. 9 pt all cross type), viewfinder (pentaprism), shooting speed (6 fps) or control interface (second command dial).  I doubt that one of these features on it's own would tempt people to pay extra over the 600D price and too many would mean it steps on the XXD line's toes.  Therefore, I think that the 650D will need a new sensor to be a viable proposition.  I don't see Canon launching its new APS-C sensor on a "Rebel" body, so I think that anyone waiting for this replacement will have to wait for a 7D MkII announcement (autumn?).

Same here.
Don't want to pay much unless it's an FF body. Once upon a time I compared 500D and 50D, and 500D had less banding noise, so xxxD are not that bad.

At canon.ru they have removed 500D from site today, so I think the time for 650D comes closer)

[phemark]

Any chance of Canon releasing 7Dm2, 70D and 650D at the same time? (They all are due +- now anyway...)

Have they done more than one camera release at a time before?

me too, and all the rumor news (CR2) turns bad 

[Tarrum]

I think we'll see a 7D Mark II before the 650D, so it will be Big brother of the new sensor that they will all use.

This might be the case, but why then we havent seen any rumors regarding it? (while there were quite a few on 650D?)..

[roombarobot]

Yeah, I'm sad.  I sold my XTi in preparation for buying the next Rebel.     I hope it comes soon!

i think, you will see it at Photokina in September

If anyone thinks the only advantage to the 7D is the AF points they aren't paying attention. Good Grief!
