More reports of what’s coming in glass We’ve already seen information for 2 lenses that are highly anticipated as well as expected. The ever popular EF 24-70 f/2.8L IS and EF 60 f/2.8 IS Macro . There is a report today at NL of an EF 200 f/4L IS Macro coming down the immediate pipe as well. It would make a lot of sense to have the entire macro lineup redone (outside of the 50 compact Macro). That’ll be Canon set for the next 10 years. cr
A Canon Concept This is a concept camera from Canon. The idea behind it is one camera, one lens, do everything. It could go from Macro all the way to 500mm and still be fast. Canon displayed this concept at EXPO 2010. Follow this link the video engadget via gizmag cr

I liked it This is a review of the world famous lens mug from Canon Canada! http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-70-200mm-f-4.0-L-USM-Lens-Mug-Review.aspx thanks Jeremy cr
New stuff Received an email today in regards to a 50D replacement. Most of what was said was the same as most stuff we’ve received. Smaller form factor than the 50D and an articulating LCD screen. The 2nd part of the email mentioned a video optimized 14.2mp sensor. I have heard once before about a new sensor for the camera. cr
Canon’s RED? Received this spec list in regards to a video camera with an EF mount. Specifications – Unconventional case, more like a Hasselblad. – Alloy heatsink for extended shoot times and lower heat related picture noise. – FF 4k sensor, no line skipping and much reduced jello effect – ISO 100-1600 – Pellicle Mirror however it can be flipped up if a OVF isn’t required to regain the lost 2/3 stop. – EF fitment – AF when pellicle mirror is down – Digital Follow focus to control lenses electronically – Twin CF slots – Add on module with SSD…
Warning! I received these specs today, they’re nothing like anything I’ve received before. So I’m going to post them for fun. This is a rumors site! EOS 3D Specifications – Price: 3499 -27mp Foveon (?) Foveon is property of Sigma, so that kills the spec list. Unless Canon has their own version. – 5FPS – 16bit (16 bit what?) – BG-E9 Grip, uses 7D & 5D2 battery – 7D Weathersealing This one deserves a massive grain of salt like I said earlier. cr
