From LensRentals.com Roger over at LensRentals.com ran the new EF 24-70 f/2.8L II through an Imatest session and found it to be a stellar performer as far as resolution goes. From Roger “This is short, sweet, and simple. The resolution absolutely, positively kicks butt and takes names. It is way better than the lens it replaces. It’s better at 70mm than the best Canon zoom I know of, the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II. It’s even better at 24mm than the sharpest 24mm prime we have, the Canon 24 TS-E. In the center, in the corners, it doesn’t care. We only…

From Planet5D Mitch from Planet5D has informed us of the first short from the upcoming Canon EOS C100. The Canon EOS C100 is almost “affordable”, and we should see lots of content from it.

Development Announcement? I’m told it’s possible we’ll see an “in development” announcement sometime in 2012 for a large megapixel DSLR from Canon. I have heard both 39mp and 46mp prototype(s) are out in the field. In development announcements seem to be getting more popular with Canon and their high end products. As we’ve seen from the EOS-1D C and EF 200-400 f/4L IS 1.4X, it seems to allow them a lot of latitude in testing and helps with public relations. It also stops sites like this speculating on arrival of new products. :) cr

UPDATE I had a typo below, it should have read “same sensor as 5D3”. Sorry for the confusion. Canon EOS 6D Another suggestion that the Canon EOS 6D will be announced soon. It might be announced on a different day than the PowerShot and Pixma announcements early next week. Specifications 22mp (Same sensor as 5D3) 4.5 fps Touchscreen Same AF system as 7D Lower build quality than the 5D Mark III New source, so CR1 on this. cr
PowerShot and EOS I received a few tidbits of information of coming products for Photokina. PowerShot S100 Replacement with Wifi G12 Replacement that isn’t much different than the current one. Same sensor size as the G12. A new SX big zoom PowerShot is coming. EOS A full frame EOS between the 7D and 5D Mark III with touchscreen and 20mp (most mentions have been 22mp) CRs Take I’m not 100% sure about a new EOS camera, though there are press events all over the planet next week. Announcing EOS with Pixma and PowerShot has happened before, and Canon could use…
