Next year at this time we will be discussing the newly announced 50D from Canon. I don't believe they will be doing away with the XXD line yet in favor of a FF option.EOS 50D Specs:MP: 12.2Crop: 1.6xAF: 15 PointBit Depth: 14bitProc: DIGIC IVISO: 100-3200 (6400 H)VF: Bigger & BrigherLCD: 3″ VGAFPS: 8fpsWeather Sealing: More than the 40DMemory: SD & CFLiveview: Full AFSpecial: Real Auto ISOSpecial: Movie ModeThere are other ideas about built in WiFi and a Hard Drive battery grip, those are probably not happening.
With no new FF camera from Canon for PMA (we're assuming), there's a few people that are wondering if they'll be announcing anything in the UK next month at Focus. I think it's safe to say they won't be. Canon's history says they announce for PMA or Photokina.There's going to be tons of rumors about 2 new FF cameras from Canon, I'm one of the people that believe they will do it.One of the things a lot of people are discussing today is the contrast detection AF in live view mode on the XSi. Most people are assuming it wouldn't…
Here it is.I did fairly well with my predictions. I'm a bit bummed there isn't a movie mode. The camera will be shipping in April.The updates appear good, it makes the Sony Alpha 200 look ancient already.The images will tell us more in due time.A few things…1. Does saying “XSi” seem weird to anyone else? “excess eye”… it's probably just me.2. This new Rebel has contrast detect AF in live view mode. Here's hoping there is a firmware update for the 40D.3. What is “Auto Lighting Optimiser”? A version of Sony's DRO?4. There's a new battery form factor for the…
A lot of people are sad that there is no new full frame offering from Canon. I guarantee you will see one at Photokina! (quite the guarantee eh?)Maybe a new 1D too? hmmmmm
Canon SD1100 IS (I called it the SD2000)8MPImage Stabilization3x ZoomDIGIC III2.5 LCDImproved Face DetectionCanon also launched 3 cheap A series Powershots. Not much excitement here. Retailers will sell a ton of these, and at huge margins *wink*.Canon A590IS (I called this the A580IS)8MPImage Stabilization4x ZoomCheapCanon A580The cheaper brother of the A590IS. It has no IS and they probably removed manual shooting modes.Canon A4707.1mp3.4x Zoomzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… but it'll be cheap. $129.
Press release here.In case you were wondering the MSRP.”The new Canon EF200mm f/2L IS USM is scheduled to be available in April at an estimated retail price of $5,999.00 and the new Canon EF800mm f/5.6L IS USM is scheduled to be available in May for an estimated retail price of $11,999.00.”I can officially say that I will never own either of these lenses.

Oh the excitement, the famous 7D upc has returned for our viewing pleasure.Sit back and enjoy it here.Apparently anyone can update the UPC's, so maybe I did it?
The Canon front is extremely quiet waiting for tomorrow. Here is some Pentax leaks to tide you overUPDATE: Guess they weren't leaks, but an actual announcement from Pentax.I received a comment and an email from people being sad that I posted Pentax information, my mistake… it won't happen again!** I must admit I do like Pentax stuff, mainly because of the pancake lenses.Thanks for visiting.Click image for more (Sorry they're not in english).
