A wanted lens to a lot of people was mentioned on a Swedish forum. A 400 f/5.6L IS. Announcement coming in April? Read More: Google translated link CR’s Take It’s a wishlist lens for sure with a lot of people. With the things going on with Canon’s ability to make the new lenses, I have doubts about any announcement in April for glass. thanks jimmy cr
Canon Mirrorless next week? I received an email this AM stating that Canon will announce the Canon QL-D1 mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. There were no specs or any other information given. CR’s Take This is the first mirrorless information I have been given in months. If there’s an announcement coming next week, I can’t see this being all that gets sent my way. The model name given is nostalgic and creative.
Same as previously reported There’s nothing new as far as a 600D replacement goes, pretty much confirmation of what we’ve been told before. 18mp sensor 3.7fps Vari-Angle 3″ LCD DiGiC IV. Video Snapshot Mode Redesign of the model nameplate as well.
The Canon 600D has received the Communications Commission Certification from what looks to be a government agency. The certificate was received on January 25, 2011. No specs or anything of the sort.
Hmmmmm There was a rumor in the past that I said came from the “land of crazy”. After the post a few people piped up and said there was actually something to the rumor. The person that originally sent me the info also gave me two hints today based on the invititation sent to Swedish journalists. 1) Pay attention to the low light situation of the image. 2) The Number Six and Feng Shui symbols http://www.squidoo.com/feng-shui-symbols
*UPDATE* Above is the official press invite for Sweden. Scheduled for February 7, 2011. The embargo must end at 12:00AM on the 7th. thanks Swede Two hints so far A 12 color Pixma Pro printer looks to be on the immediate horizon. No clue yet on the print size capabilities. The 2nd hint is a new Rebel and another camera. I haven’t received any information about new PowerShot cameras yet. cr
Facelift! Some of you may, or may not have noticed a slight facelift to Canon Rumors. I mostly just wanted to clean things up. Canon Rumors Sponsors Canon Rumors is my day job now, so it has to make some revenue. That being said, I am very much into the soft sell. I don’t want to be posting “deals” to the main blog every single day. I don’t think most of you come here for that. I think a lot of you will also notice there are less ads on Canon Rumors now. That isn’t because there isn’t demand, it’s because…
*UPDATE 1* Someone wrote in and told me that the Canon embargo ends at 11:59PM on February 7, 2011. From Sweden Received word that Swedish journalists have been invited to a press event next Tuesday by Canon. The date would be February 8, 2011. If anyone else has confirmation of this, please let me know. Thanks Stina cr
