New Old Rebel Information

[Canon Rumors]

CP+ Rebels for February Received and email and also reported on 1K1 that says Canon will be announcing the following 2 Rebel’s at CP+. We posted about this previously and it looks pretty similar.

T3i/600D

• 18mp sensor
• 3.7fps
• Vari-Angle 3″ LCD
• DiGiC IV.
• Redesign of the model nameplate as well.

T3/1100D

• 12mp sensor
• DiGiC IV
• Will be available in Red and Black.

Rebel stock is extremely low at the moment, even for being after Christmas.

canon better calls this EOS 555D.
if that´s really all.

Interesting...Would that make the T3i a T2i replacement or upgrade? Either way, the Rebel price point is a great DSLR value.

Rule no. 1:

Never buy a camera available in more colors...

Cameras like the M9?

Tripods and heads are okay, though?

who cares Canon, about another Rebel?  When are you going to build a small rugged waterproof evil camera with an APS-C (H) sized sensor that we have been begging for years?

<li>Vari-Angle 3″ LCD</li>

And to be honest that Vari-Angle LCD is soooooo five years too late.   Couldn't you step forward with a detachable LCD or a seamless solution to an iPhone/Epson Viewer?

[Canon 14-24]

I can't imagine what noticeable upgrade they'd throw in the next rebel.  A new processor or slightly marginally better fps isn't going to be that big or noticeable to cause people to upgrade.  What else could they throw in that would seem "big" besides a flip LCD...? 

I would be guilty to say if they made a matte white/pearl rebel, I might be tempted just for the hell of it as a back up body to throw with a matching white lens.

So I guess my T2i won't feel outdated for at least another year.  I don't expect a significant jump in the T2i's already impressive image quality, but I would really like to see GPS integration added as a feature.  The adjustable viewfinder really doesn't appeal to me yet (even for video).  Down the road, it would be great if the Rebel series could be moved over to a new mirrorless design. 

[hmmm]

Actually a T3 with 12MP could be a useful choice. Easier to manage file sizes and possibly better low-light performance --  (despite the spec ISO not being as high).   Depending on what it turns out to be, it could be a throwback mini-classic for those interested in an alternative to the MP race.
Trying out the widgets, too, my bad.   

[Catastrophile]

Going back to 12mp is very unlikely now. Just the inclusion of that piece of info is enough to qualify/classify this as a false rumor.

[pgabor]

The 1000D is the one what is going to be 12mpx not the 600D, and from 10mpx i don't think that going to 12mpx would be a down step

T3i/600D

- Redesign of the model nameplate as well.

Hm... they just created a consistent design of the nameplate (7D, 60D, 550D) why should they change it that soon?

[Bob Howland]

What gives? I thought that the 60D was supposed to be the last model to use the Digic IV.
