So says DSLR Magazine (This is a Babelfish Translation, so the english is broken)
Of generally well informed sources, it has been possible to know that Canon could announce new features next day 20 of October.
As products star of that presentation, and always according to the mentioned sources, 1D Mark III would be the substitute of Canon EOS, perhaps “Canon EOS 1D Mark IV” or a new less complicated name as well as a new professional zoom lens EF 200 mm f/2,8. The characteristics characteristic of this last one could include more – than probably the new system of stabilization incorporated by the company/signature in their last presented/displayed objectives (IFA).
With regard to new “Canon EOS 1D Mark IV”, a very fast camera for fotoreporteros, comments in internal circles that, of course, are not going away to commercialize until “they have not given to cane” the professionals him in field tests, and it in order to avoid the accumulation of problems esperimentados by the previous models.
On the other hand, Canon has announced that will not go to fair WFP of the 2010, which without a doubt will be a certain blow for the organization.
The alluded to reasons are that “the form is being reconsidered in become the things”, and one cannot stop thinking if the fact to have changed the attractiveness soothes of Fertile valleys (Snowed), by the still more distant and dull Anaheim, will not have had its influence.
Canon, unlike Nikon, will not have either is present at direct in the Sonimagfoto & Multimedia that abre its doors in Barcelona tomorrow.
CR’s Take
No credible sources I have peg the camera for October, they all say January.
How reliable is DSLR Magazine?
I’m on the road, so I will check their track record when I return home.

Wow, the release date seesaw is making me dizzy 8D
This is getting to be silly. I wish Canon would just step-up and tell us when they will announce the sucker. They most certainly have the date nailed at this point. There is no need to divulge any specs until the announcement – just the date, or month.
If you announce that you’re going to announce a new product, people stop buying the old product, which does bad things to your quarterly financials. Canon wants people to keep buying the Mark III right up to the moment they announce the Mark IV.
How many times you zig-zag’ed between announcement in Oct & in Jan. rethink your policy about how weak should a rumor be for it to be ignored and not posted at all. by posting these rumors you are encourging those who start them and loose some of the credibility of the site as source of worthy-reading rumor, like weather forecasts when they get right 2 days out of seven, a toss of coin may have a better hit rate.
what happened to that one box with a cloth?
DSLR magazine had detailed information about the 5D MK II in august 2008, while rumors were still flying around about the sensor. They listed their source as discussions with Canon Technicians. So they were right on for the 5D MK II.

However, as they say, past performance in no guarantee of future performance.
Also of note, in the past, leaks started seriously about 2 weeks before a major announcement. This is probably because there are suddenly a much larger number of people involved with printed information, dealer briefings, sample cameras sent to evaluators, etc.
It is now about 2 weeks until October 20, so if it is coming then (I doubt it), we should start receiving real photos and leaks of specifications, etc.
Hush up or go troll somewhere else.
CR reported the 21mp sensor before DSLR magazine did, maybe we were their source.
I will be shocked if anything is announced in October. If there is, I will go find new sources of info.
Very true. I can’t help but think while wearing my photographer hat as opposed to my accountant hat. :)
I am more incline to believe there will be an October announcement because Canon would not want to miss out on the pre Christmas sale.
What about that low-end DSLR (T2000?) that was supposed to be rolled out in time for Christmas?
Until his move not display Nikon, Canon wait.
“Guessing” the specs of the 5D2 in august was a fairly easy thing to do, if you read any rumors site about it. The date was also quite predictable – 3 years’ plan – Canon could really not afford any delay on that camera past the 3 years. There was quite a good consensus of the rumor sites about the specs. So this is not particularly telling on this magasine’s performance.
But some things like mentioning that an EF 200mm is a “professional zoom” make me think that this is all not serious. Checked the original version and they also mention “zoom”, so this is not a translation problem. Do they make a difference between zooms and primes? Do they have an idea about the release date of anything?
My bet is a new 70-200mm F2.8 IS USM with much better performance, to be released together with the 1D4.
Valentín Sama, owner of dslrmagazine, is a very well reputed photographer and photography teacher in Spain. I can’t know, but I’d doubt very much his sources were CR. His relationship with brands, dealers and everything photography-related is far beyond a normal person’s.
But he’s just the owner of drsl-magazine and he didn’t write that article himself, Michael Wardson did it. Although I find dslrmagazine a well informed source, I’m as skeptical as everyone here.
Do you give away many high end-dslr’s at christmas?
20th is THE date!
It was a photocopier…….
it’s we who are shocked by the too many conflicting scenario’s posted here of late.
I agree.
Plus, the original article is very carefull, the author presents this annoucement as a possibility according to some sources. And reminds that Canon will probably wait for a full validation by field testers before the 1D launch.
So I’m not sure the author is so convinced himself…
Right, I thought the same, the 7D was a way better release from that perspective… what I could see happen though is a video capable 2000D or wherever the nomenclature will go.
A pro Camera makes way more sense later as it might otherwise canibalize the pro 7D market. Plus it’s not like we didn’t know something was around the bend, so they won’t loose many sales to the 7D… it’s more like they might hope for people to buy one first and the other later which might turn out to be a good plan.

no way?!!!
hahahaha
You’re shocked that there’s conflicting information?
Why don’t you go look up the definition of the word “rumor” and get back to us.
Yep, my thoughts as well.
I agree, that “EF 200 f/2.8” is not making any sense. I think we will get an “EF 70-200 F/2.8 IS L II”, an “EF 80-320 IS L F/4” or an “EF 80-400 F/4-5.6 IS L”.
“EF 80-320 f/4” (or somethning like that) would be a nice combination to “EF 24-105”. I would buy another body for that, so a kit would be fine.
these rumors about a 1D IV before 2010 are meant to stop impatient would-be buyers from going to D3/D3S, every now and then there is a false rumor that the camera is about to be announced to stop these poor-judgement rich-pocket people from buying nikon, if they all now for sure the real date of announcement in Feb. 2010 most of them would be lost to nikon, but false rumors and their propagators do their job fairly well.
probably that also was facticious, intended to stop dejected canon usres from buying D5000/ D3000. it seems the canonrumorsguy is becoming increasingly a puppet for canon, they wanted to sue him and close the site for using their name but backed off under a secret deal by which he accepted to become a puppet, thatswhy he also removes some of our posts and ban some of us whose only mistake is to criticise canon.
I would say that 2000d is going to be released in october.
OK?
loose != lose, idiot
scenarios != scenario’s, idiot
what?
Stocking stuffer 1D4’s???
Honestly I don’t even think the 7D/5D2 or maybe even 50D levels are much of stocking stuffers and it would make sense to time them to pre-summer trip, spring/summer/fall wedding, spring/fall sports seasons than Christmas.
Haha, I think had even Yoda twisting his tongue!
that might be correct
although it’s probably just happening on its own
Yep, I still say that canon will release a 2000D This october. Its the perfect timing for such a camera.
well, any poor judgment rich pocket person would buy the D3 regardless and when the 1d MKIV comes out he will simply bu it as well..
“what?” OR “What?”, practice what you preach about idiocy!
Mayby Canon will reveal what’s wrong with the AF-CHAMBER….
Or they will introduce new Direct-Print-Button-Free model LOL
