New Ultrawide Zoom There has been chatter about the possibilty of this lens since the day after Nikon announced their highly regarded 14-24 lens. The latest is we’ll see this lens announced within the next 12 months. As always, nailing down lens announcement dates is near impossible with Canon. It was suggested that the EF 14-24 f/2.8L would be announced after the EF 200-400 f/4L IS 1.4x begins shipping, suspected late in 2012 or the first half of 2013. An EF 14-24 f/2.8L would complete a pretty remarkable range of lenses in the Canon lineup along with the EF 24-70…

A good review of the new Canon Rebel T4i The folks at Cinema 5D have posted a review of the new Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D. From Cinema 5D about their test camera “The beta firmware version had some limitations like I couldn’t adjust the white balance or had wrong exposure at times. This should be resolved in the final version. The handling of the camera was nice, although I didn’t find the button layout perfect for video (having to reach with the wrong hand to the wrong side of the camera).” http://vimeo.com/44077443 Source: [C5D] cr

Lots of small things The rumor mill has started to heat up as of late, most of the stuff seems pretty out there. However, stuff is appearing on other sites and in my inbox. I’m not sure how much of it is recycled speculation, but that does happen from time to time. I’ll rate each bit of information on its own. 3 new DSLR bodies this summer [CR1] A mention of 3 new EOS bodies before Photokina in September. Only one of them being a full frame camera. It was suggested that an “entry level” full frame camera wouldn’t be…

More to come Received some information that Canon is far from done as far as camera launches go for 2012. I am being told that 4 more DSLRs are coming in 2012. Which cameras? It’s unknown if the expected mirrorless entry counts against the mentioned 4 camera bodies. Speculation about what the 4 cameras could possibly be are below. 1) “Entry Level” full frame camera. Think of it as a direct replacement for the 5D Mark II. 2) Prosumer APS-C, possibly the 70D and not a direct replacement of the 7D. 3) The big megapixel entry, mentioned to be an EOS-1D style…
What do we think? I have posted our initial impressions of the new Canon EF 600 f/4L IS II. My professional outdoor photographer friend Ethan Meleg took the lens for a day to see how it performed. Visit Ethan on Twitter | Facebook | Blog As with all reviews at Canon Rumors, there’s absolutely no technical stuff. We just try to tell you what we think about it in real world situations. There will be lots of pixel peeping coming in the near future I’m sure from the sites that do it great. We’ll update the review in the coming months, we just haven’t had…
