Dodge & Burn Introduces the New “1959” Tee Shirt Dodge & Burn, makers of The Camera Tee-Shirt, are proud to introduce the “1959”. This new tee is inspired by the legendary Canonflex. Introduced and discontinued in 1959, it was Canon’s first SLR camera and a unique mechanical beast to behold with its bottom-mounted film advance and outsized external light meter. The “1959” tee is meticulously illustrated in the trademark Dodge & Burn style, showing this amazing camera at its best. Dodge & Burn is based in New York City. The “1959” is made and printed in America on a cranberry-colored…
A New EOS? The following spec list has appeared on the Best Buy web site. These specifications could possibly be placeholder specs, though they appear about as legit as they come. The most telling features in the spec list are the dimensions. The weight of 13.1oz make this DSLR 5oz lighter than the Rebel T4i. We’re still going with the EOS 100D name, but that may not be definite. Pricing for the camera is going to be $799 USD with the EF-S 18-55 IS Kit, though this is unconfirmed. Specifications Breakdown Model: 8575B003 18mp APS-C sensor DIGIC 5 Processor 3″ LCD Touch Screen…
The Small DSLR We were told this morning that two new EOS cameras will be announced on March 21/22, 2013. One of them will be the “diminutive” EOS 100D and the other was unnamed by this new source. It was also mentioned that the price of the EOS 100D was “a bit expensive”. The same source said no 70D was coming this week, and it will be announced later in the spring. This point contradicts the information given by some pretty good sources, though it’s not impossible that things have changed since I first heard good info about the 70D.…
The L treatment There are a few reports out there that Canon will finally replace the TS-E 45mm and TS-E 90mm in 2013. We should expect a replacement announcement in Q2 of 2013. Both of these lenses have long been rumoured to be on the replacement docket. No one has come out and said they’ll be “L” replacements, but I think it only makes sense. This would give Canon the largest high end tilt-shift lineup on the market. Also mentioned in the same announcement breath, was Canon answer to Nikon’s 14-24 f/2.8. A very long awaited lens.

Projector Pen Canon sent this invitation out for the press event next week on March 22. Beyond the standard paper invitation, they sent a pen with “IXUS/PowerShot” on it. The pen doubles as a projector, and projects the invite information. It’s interesting that EOS is not on the pen, unless the function of the pen is a hint about a new PowerShot. Source: [NP] cr
New white lenses? There has been some talk in the last little while about these two lenses possibly being replaced sooner than later. From personal experience, I know that Canon has discontinued the lens hood for the EF 800 f/5.6L IS, this hood also worked with the 400 f/2.8L IS. Another lens that has become quite hard to get is the EF 200 f/2L IS. I have talked to Canon Canada and they’ve been out of stock for a while with no ETA. That’s not always a perfect way to measure replacement of a lens, but with the more expensive…
The first spec list? It looks like the first spec list of the “small DSLR” coming from Canon is making its rounds. I can confirm that the next Rebel is said to have the exact same sensor as the current 650D and EOS M. The big feature difference would probably be the size and some of the interface functionality. Let’s hope it doesn’t share the same AF performance of the EOS M when in liveview mode. Specifications 18MP sensor (same sensor featured on the EOS M and EOS 650D) DIGIC 5 Touchscreen similar to the EOS M 9 focusing points A new…
Smaller than a Rebel? Reports are out there that Canon may be working on a DSLR that is smaller and lighter than the current Rebel line. The camera would be an alternative to the EOS M line and possess all the DSLR performance you would expect, especially in the AF department. We’ve seen some patents in the past that point to a smaller DSLR camera with an EVF. The only thing the camera probably requires is a certain depth to handle EF & EF-S lenses. It’s the first we’ve seen of it, but it’s definitely possible. Source: [CW] via [DC] cr
