New Stuff!
I've received a few pieces of info for an announcement in the middle of July. It appears July12/July 13 or July 19/July 20, we haven't nailed it down exactly yet. More will come soon.
There will be a 2nd announcement cycle in August.
There will probably be a DSLR announcement (60D/3D) as well as other cameras and accessories. Do not expect a 1Ds Mark IV at this time.
cr
Maybe the new 50 1.4!
+1000
I am really interested in that possibility.
Give me a 14-24!
Yippee!!!!
Great Job CRGUY.. lots of Rumors going out lately…
=) Keep diging out!
Great news. 1Ds4 and hopefully 60D coming this summer and some lenses too!
Hoping for the 24-70 f2.8L IS to come out soon
14-24 f4 would be nice.
I would imagine it’s “60d” and a few lenses in July. The new 1ds and probably 24-70 will be around August 20th.
10th
11th.
Here’s hoping…I’m wondering how this would impact the value of the current f/1.4, though. I’m not ready to sell on the (off) chance they’ll be announcing a new model, but I’ll be kicking myself if it gets a price drop and I have to sell mine at a large loss.
60D = 7D
I would like the 14-24, 200-500, 135LIS, 24-70IS, 35LII, 50 1.4(LII), f2 zoom, 3D!!!!
It’s a new copier!
It will be a direct printing printer.
Give me 14-24, 24-70 II & 200-500 plus a fast FF camera and I’ll buy’em all. I promise :-)
yeah and plus an airplane that can
transform into a trashbin if you ever should carry
too much litter around…………….
60D ≠ 7D
updated 100 – 400 would be on my shopping list
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p4DekaFMxI#t=0m40s
I sold ALL my GOLD RING lens.
Only D300 and 50/1.4D due to so many rumors.
I want a new system 24-70/2.8L IS, 70-200/2.8L IS2 and a good Full Frame Body.
I’m just waiting for what Canon can give to me.
YESHH!!! This truly made my morning. Thanks.
And the EF-S 15-70mm f/4 IS USM.
Spot on. I remember that line from Canon as well.
I’m not sure it would make a huge impact, since used lenses already take a fair hit. The existing f/1.4 is a pretty low cost lens, and I’d imagine any new version would be much more expensive.
In a similar way, I don’t see the market flooded with cheap 70-200 IS mk1 lenses now that mk2 is out.
For July expect new ‘entry’ level camera…
Nothing shocking and well expected.
I bet you have lost more and spent more on the car you drive and the computer you use.
You mean like something xxxD-ish?!
Nice. But I’d change two:
12-24 2.8L
24-85 2.8L IS
Calculator you mean ;)
Hope not.
I want a 5DIII or 3D. “Affordable” FF with decent AF…
YOU LISTENING CANON?!
Summary:
There will be an announcement at an unknown date. And there will be announced something.
Wow, that’s awesome!
Indeed it is fair to say that sooner or later something will be announced. Given that past announcements were made in July and August that time-frame also stands to reason. It is also highly probable that availability of any such new models, will take a few months. Thus we are very grateful for this information which gives us much certainty about what Canon will do.
Yes, there have been enough xxxDs (450/500/550) in the last days, so I were an angry customer if I bought a 550D some time ago and Canon would AGAIN release a newer camera in this sector.
Fingers crossed for a 100-400 II release.
Also hoping for a 500 f5.6 prime. Lighter on the hand and on the wallet pleeeez !!!
A 14-24 f2.8 would definetly be a nice one to have (especially for Full framers).
For us croppers the EF-S 10-22 is still the only way to go.
July announcement: 2000D==rebadged 450D, the same way the 1000D was a rebadged 400D with the 350D AF sensor. Lenses to be announced with it: EF-S 30/1.4 USM, EF 15-45 f/4L IS USM.
August announcement: 1Ds Mk.IV + 24-70/2.8L IS, 100-400/4-5.6 IS USM.
Take it to the bank even if you don’t have an account with them.
There will be no 3D, there is no sense in that… They have everything covered.
The 60D will have 1080 video, but not ful manual control, because it would be to similar to the 7d…
What is taking so long for the 1dsIV announcement?
You have 20k in wait? Tite.
Seriously, I don’t get the 1Ds4 wait…
Canon make more profits from their copier division than from their entire photographic division.
No, xxxD…. and as for an xxD you’ll still have to wait a bit longer. With entry level, I meant really entry…
Digic 5
Nonsense, there is plenty of room for a 3D.
This camera will come, the only question is when.
hahaha =)
60D all the way ! c’mon Canon, bring it ! already too late for father’s day..but don’t wait till sept…and put a 35-150 F4L with it !! Pulleeese.
24-70mm f/2.8L USM IS, please. Been waiting for that lens for ages!
I estimate around 12K ;-) working in IT is good….
Many of us have been waiting/hoping for a 60D. The 7D is a great camera but has features that I would not use and a price that is too high. If there is no 60D then we would have to wait for the 7D to come into our price range. I am still hoping the the 60D is a nice upgrade from the 50D with improved AF and ISO performance. Whatever I buy will be a nice improvement of my 300D/Digital Rebel.
I just want the 50mm 1.4 II.
Just can’t justify the 50mm 1.2, and my 50mm 1.4 broke in short order. Poor build quality and not as sharp as I would like.
What about the Tokina 111-16 f/2.8?
get the Nikon, nothin will ever be able to beat it, specially canon´s WA lenses
I’m with you. My 50 f/1.4 shares with my 180 f/3.5 Sigma macro the (dis)honor of needing to be repaired twice, the most of any of my lenses. Neither lens has been heavily used. My 50 isn’t particularly sharp either, at least not wide open. From f/2.8 to f/11, it’s extremely sharp.
lens wise I’m looking for in this order:
100-400 4.5-5.6 IS II (hopefully a little faster, such as 4-4.8, also sharp wide open at 400mm like the new 70-200 2.8 IS II, also it could be a 150-400, and a true 400mm not 380mm
24-70 2.8 IS
14-24 2.8 (this has to blow the current 16-35 2.8 out of the water for sharpness)
50 1.4 II (canon has to finally make a 50mm that does not have some problem)
35 1.4 II (just to complete the set)
85 1.4 (Canon needs a 85mm that can AF fast, the 85 1.2 AFs far to slow for me.
135 1.8 IS (a great wedding photographers lens)
And now a decent FF small body to put it on, 18mp FF, 8 FPS, Pro AF or at least the 7D AF, pro weather seals, small body, option wireless grip, 7D video, 100% VF, flash commander.
This is just a theory But i wonder if the 50D Had less than stellar sales. If that is true, could the 60D’s delay be cuz they need to drain inventory?
The longer this takes the more hopeful i am that they’re introducing a new sensor. And let’s not think it Can’t have things like manual controller video
Peter, in my opinion you are so wrong.
I won’t own a 1D size body, the 5D2, AF sucks, and 3.9 FPS sucks, the 7D is great but a crop sensor. So what does that leave……your right a Nikon D700, only not enough MP.
So what I propose is:
A decent FF small body to put it on, 18mp FF, 8 FPS, Pro AF or at least the 7D AF, pro weather seals, small body, option wireless grip, 7D video, 100% VF, flash commander.
The 1ds$ can have 32mp, the 5D3 can be 24mp and low FPS.
But to me FPS and Pro AF is more important than MP’s.
Yeah but they work out their profit margins on Canon Calculators. ;-)
Nooooooo! Not a 2000D.
Worse, a G12… they’re good and all, but most of us are waiting for something a bit more high end.
People who’ll buy low end stuff aren’t waiting for anything I’d say. They just turn up at the camera shop and buy what the salesman tells them’s good (or the camera with the most MP).
I’m (now) thinking some IXUS cameras… oh man….
Give me 16MP FF (to go with my 1DIV)
8FPS is OK
Pro AF – YES! At least 7D level
Weather seals are a plus
Body size doesn’t bother me much (I do own a 1DIV) Though something like 5DII size would be OK.
Wireless grip doesn’t bother me personally… but that flash commander I’d like. :D
An awful lot of us are waiting for a 3D/5DIII too, FF with decent AF.
These two body types (60D and 3D/5DIII) seem to be the two biggest “WANTS” in the enthusiast/pro areas.
BTW my “name” is just a joke, I don’t really want a 60D. I’m just picking on scientology.
Fathers day in Australia is on the first Sunday in September.
;-)
Oh and 35-150… what a weird number.
56-240 on a 1.6 crop. I don’t see why you’d want it.
24-85 would rock (for FF that is).
I’ll take it to the bank.
Then I’ll smash the guard over the head with it and take all the other rumours hostage.
>:-)
What is most likely– same sensor as 7D, same vf as 50D, some new items/toys…maybe even useful, and the AF will have to improve from the 50D..just a bit more…but short of the 7D. The lcd like the T2i. I just hope the AF, new toy/items and the lighter wt..? (hoping) make it interesting. And pullleeez, Canon..don’t merely add fancy smansy video. Price is mostly irrelavent.
… back in the office I can correct my android entered reply… I meant to say why can’t we have manually controlled video? The 7D added video features the more expensive earlier 5dMkII didn’t have. It happens.
I think the same sensor in three successive cameras is not likely over this much of a time period. It is time for the 60D to take some bold steps and add things not in a Canon camera to date. I am pulling for a 13-14 megapixel sensor with some improvements that give it much improved ISO and DR performance. This will establish a new standard in this price range.
Yeah, but this rumor has a CR3 rating. 99.9% chance! Fingers crossed Canon doesn’t go bust and we fall into the 0.1%
Been waiting for a 60D for months… ordered the 7D last week, and it should be arriving tomorrow. Now there’s ‘solid’ news about a 60D in the near future. … hmmm…
Send back the 7D and wait, or keep it?
Canon said the 50D was not a replacement for the 40D too, they just stopped making the 40D.
All big stuff will be in August, as always during photokina years. Usually between the 20th and 25th or so. Anything in July, if, will be small stuff I guess, to heat up the summer a bit.
Excellently trolled sir. Headgears off to you.
EF 15-45 f/4L IS USM a focal range that short would be an f/2.8, I think a constant f/4 is going to be 15-70mm or maybe 15-60mm.
So
Either a EF 15-45 f/2.8L IS USM; EF 15-60 f/4L IS USM or EF 15-70 f/4L IS USM.
Maybe EF-S too
EF-S 15-55 f/2.8 IS USM (replaces 17-55mm)
EF-S 15-70 f/4 IS USM
What? No sense in that?!? A camera that matches the Nikon D700 is the most desperately needed camera in Canon’s lineup.
In order to stay with canon I would like a good low pixel count full frame body, with good dinamic range and good iso too. Canon needs a D700 like body.
RE: I don’t see the market flooded with cheap 70-200 IS mk1 lenses now that mk2 is out.
Flooded? Perhaps not. But in the past couple of weeks, 2-3 have come up on my local Craigslist for $1100-1200, which is a significant drop from where they were a few months ago. That would be a large enough discount off the new lens price to tempt me into buying one…if I didn’t already have the MkII, that is… :)
I hope they do release an ef-s 30/1.4 or even 1.8..
“EF 15-45 f/4L IS USM a focal range that short would be an f/2.8”
Not necessarily. It could be a replacement for the current 17-40mm f/4L with a little extra range.
After the announcement of Panasonic’s Micro 4/3 camcorder, Canon may announce their APS-C camcorder… and still no 60D… ;)
please no ixus or powershots. those things make me go to sleep
where does it say cr3?
keep it, its a great camera. the XXD series sucks.
I’d like a full frame 7d. Lower frame rate would be acceptable if FF forces it. Flip out screen would be a useful bonus.
An updated 100-400. 4 stop IS, and IQ improvements. Aperture can stay as is (as can trombone zoom).
How about canon think about giving us a better AF and a faster FPS in the new 3d instead of a better video capabilities?
Give me the 7D’s AF, 16MP FF sensor, and 7FPS and I will buy 2 !!! No Really, I WILL buy 2!!
Me too, I’ll buy two in an instance as 5D2’s AF suck with fast moving objects. Its a great portrait and studio cam, but for moving objects its a horrible piece of equipment to use.
The rumours are starting to look much like 2008: 1000D in June, 50D in August and 5DII in September.
Give me a new D10 or D20, now that is the only point and shoot camera I am waiting for!
With Canon’s history of price increase on new lens, I’m sure it’ll make your wallet lighter. Too bad they stop producing good but reasonably priced non-L prime.
Scott and BE are so right!
Canon needs a Camera that competes with the D700 (or with its long awaited successor which might come out soon…).
As Scott said, the main features are AF-perfomance, weather sealing, optional battery/gps/wireless grip, high iso capabilities (at least equal to the D700) and a high framerate (think again of the pellix concept that we discussed a few weeks ago).
If Nikon will ever renew their famous and successful D700, they will put some exciting features in it, you can be sure of that (just think of the D3s…).
It seems a bit like waiting for the first move: If Canon come out with a D700-like model first they could be badly beaten by the D700-successor. If Nikon bring the “new D700” Canon have the the chance to add some features to have a superior camera.
It will be exciting, because I feel a lot of advanced amateurs/semi-professionals (and professionals as well) are waiting for something new in that camera class.
Panasonic’s message — SLR’s don’t DO video. They aren’t the same form factor, thus don’t work as well as a real video recorder.
I hope Canon comes out with an APS-C camcorder. I’d certainly buy it!
What I would like in my upgrade from XSi:
A good still camera. A really good one.
1. Video? I don’t want it (*still* camera, right?)
2. Much better AF. Focus assist light/led/ir/… would be nice too
3. Micro focus adjustment
4. High MP or high ISO? High ISO any day!
5. A focus screen that actually makes manual zoom work (live view is a joke)
6. XXD size (gripped XSi is nice, but…)
7. High resolution LCD (ala 7D)
I’d buy a 1D or 1Ds if is was smaller and lighter (I’m not a pro photographer). How about a 1D EF-S? All the bells and whistles of a 1D “downsized” to EF-S? Now that I just might buy (and no – I don’t think the 7D is just that).
Keep up the great work on CR :-)
i use live view nearly 100% of the time!
cant stop laughing
If they bought it at the right time that could be how much they paid for it brand new. I wonder if the mark II will increase in price over time?
and print the results on Canon imagePROGRAF
15…really?
for $4500-$5500
That’s all pretty much fully amortized by now ;)
It’s “only” $300 but I see no reason not to pay close attention to the budget.
Re the 70-200 IS mark I lenses, I’ve been watching that too…but I hadn’t seen any prices on the mark Is until after the 70-200 announcement.
I’d take a 35 – 85 f2.8 on FF. This would give decent portraits from head-shoulder to groups, wide enough for most GP uses.
24-85 would have to be too big at an f2.8.
35-150 f4 would be a waste of time on crop
50 – 150 f2.8 IS would be useful. or buy the sigma
put an APS-H in a 7D body. That’d be worth $2500.
buy a brain next
no its not! lol… xxD is certainly worthy to be called a semi pro camera.
but the 7D is great! its AF is what impress me the most.
keep it :D
5D III mate :D
Why do canon has to make a new line of camera that will literally steal all the sales away from the popular 5D range?
they just have to do necessary arrangements to plug all those features like AF, FPS, with an optimised 21 MP sensor for clean image with high ISO range into a 5D body and done! lol
1ds mk4 appears on aussie site
http://ddphotographics.com.au/
EF-S 30 1.4 is way overdue… after all, I have the Sigma 30 1.4 for almost a year now! ;-)
That aside, I also think that we will see the 2000D, speced just as John wrote, that is IMO a pretty safe bet. I will get a 3″ screen this time, but not the nice hi-res one of the 7D/50D/500D (but perhaps in the aspect ratio of the screen on the 550D).
If I knew a new 100-400 is coming, I would stop torturing myself trying to decide between the old one and the 70-200 2.8 IS II + 2x TC.
Nah, they cannot price a D700 counterpart that much higher than the Nikon, can they? Oh, they already ask about the same for the 5DII as Nikon does for the D700 already? Gosh. I think I will stick with my 7D then for now (IF the can fix the AF, that is).
I don’t think that APS-H is a reasonable sensor size, at least outside of the pro sports shooters that do not need the ultimate in high ISO performance but would like to have a bit extra reach. After all, APS-H leaves you without real wide-angle (at least if you stick with Canon lenses, you still CAN use the Sigma 12-24…), finding a decent standard zoom is even more difficult. I’d say APS-H will die out sooner or later.
I totally agree that Canon finally needs an answer to the D700. But I don’t think that Nikon would have too much time to react to a Canon offering in that segment. I don’t know about time to market in photography industry, but getting a mature product to the customers requires more than just a few weeks. I am pretty sure that the D800 or whatever it is called is already completely speced and developed.
Just give me a 60D:
– anything from 12-18 MP (less is preferred)
– VF of the 50D
– Digital level
– Articulating screen with otherwise 550D specs
– AF system somewhere between 7D and 550D
– a little lighter than 7D
– HD video with crop zoom also for HD and 720p with 25/30 fps
– enough weather sealing to not have to worry about a little shower when hiking
– oh… and DIGIC V
I think to do this Canon will have to lower the MP count for sure, the real reason Nikon is doing better in this “ISO race” is their resolution. If they made the 5D Mk III have 16 MP with a better autofocus, maybe every all cross type sensors then it would be a beast. Heck even if they made it go up to 52,000 ISO and made it look good, I would buy And 12 stops of dynamic range would be good too.
If you can afford it keep it, anouncement to stock to affordable could be 2-3 months after july or september or maybe its not a 60D at all.
1. You don’t have to use the video feature. 50D or 7D would do.
2. 50D has slightly better AF; 7D much better. Anything with a pop-up flash has a focus-assist light.
3. 50D, 7D.
4. Marketing prevails, but I find ISO better on the 50D than the 40D, despite the extra MP. The finer grained noise is less annoying.
5. 50D and 7D have replaceable focus screens.
6. 50D, 7D.
7. 50D, 7D.
Sounds like you should buy a 50D or 7D and shoot in SRAW mode!
Why “DIGIC V”? It is just a label on some chip.
Any cheap primes for 1.6 crop?
Oh… and Digic4 is only a label on Digic III? I didn’t know that… ;)
exactly. 7D is all those things and more. You will never get a camera custom made to only the specs you want.
me too
Ok guys! expect an announcement within the next few days!
All the other items on your wish list are concrete features (I like them), but “DIGIC V” is just the name of some internal component that implies nothing in particular other than maybe “some things will be a bit faster”.
What would you like DIGIC V to do that DIGIC 4 does not? For example, DIGIC 4 cannot do pixel binning for HD video, so is that a feature you’d like to see from whatever new processor they stick in your ideal 60D? Other potential features that are dependent on a new processor are better noise reduction, faster AF in live view, different video codecs, 120fps HD for slow motion, ditching the low-pass filter, etc. Any of those tickle your fancy?
Oh thank God!
Tomorrow 12:00 AM.
Don’t count on Canon lowering the MP count: it just doesn’t make any sense to and isn’t likely to happen. Why would you anyways?, high MP count doesn’t equal bad high ISO performance. Look at the 1DIV; it has a 16MP APS-H (eqiv. 25MP FF) and easily matches the D700’s High ISO. Even the 5D2 is pretty much even up to 3200, then loses out a little. Also look at the 7D; it’s the current APS-C high ISO king, despite having the highest pixel count.
Hello…..
Canon DSLR Hybrid [Cinema/still] codename: C1, is on the Pipeline……..
This is my beat
A lot of people measure noise by looking at pixel level images. A high MP image can use noise reduction and give a low noise image with more detail than a low MP sensor. So Megapixel count does help noise levels at high ISO.
Ok, that was NOT me.. :)
Yes! Wait! It is happening.
Is your name CanonGarcon on the POTN forum? Are you numerological superstitious?
I bought the 50mm 1,4 and broke up 2 weeks later. Same thing happened of one of my friend, so a new version would be great because the IQ still amazing, morer with my 5D :)
Unlikely that they will expand the 17-40’s range to anything wider than 16.
and a camera that matches the 5D II (i.e. a D700x) is the most desperately needed camera in the Nikon line-up.
Waiting for my new 50 f1.4 mark II
Make it a good one, set a new standard!
the 60D is long overdue and i cant wait till it arrives i need a bigger body im tired of cramps in my hand from the 450 grip.
i
cant
wait…
canon save my hand!
Ever heard of a 50D?
Is already there for a long time works as advertised and is better then your 450.
So I’m thinking…..
I’m going to get the 550D this summer, but should I wait a little bit and hope the price will fall for 7D to what the current price is for 550D?
It won’t fall to that level until the 7D mkII is released. In fact the 7D will probably still be more than the rebel after it is discontinued.
The 7D is worth the extra. The rebel series ergonomics are bad, unless you primarily use automatic everything.
here’s what we can see in France:
http://rumeursphoto.blogspot.com/
Now that I’ve had the 7D for a few days and have had a couple chances to play with it… I think I made the right choice. First impression: the screen is a bazillion times better than the one on my old 40D … the AF system is light years beyond the 40D… I’m still playing with the metering and trying to figure it out… and the highlight tone priority – still figuring that out as well. I like the fact that it has features I don’t completely understand yet :)
The 18-135 IS lens that I got with it is a HUGE improvement on the low end compared to the 28-135 that came with my old 40D (which I sold)…
So … thus far, I’m very happy with my decision…
