Arrival in North America? I’ve heard from a couple of people we should see the cameras starting to appear tomorrow or Thursday. I can’t let you know where as their stock is already called for and they don’t need 3000 phone calls tomorrow. :) I’m still waiting to see when Adorama and B&H will have them. 1D Mark IV Mini Review Brad Mangin had the privilege to shoot with the Mark IV at an NFL football game. I don’t think he could have been happier with the performance of the camera and especially the autofocus system. Read More: http://manginphotography.net/2009/12/ Thanks Brad cr

Here we go again I have received information from a CR3 source that Canon WILL introduce another camera to the lineup. The source has never given any specs. I have avoided most 3D rumor spec lists because I haven’t received anything from a great source. This is a combined source rumor I received today. I’m posting it because it is a complete departure from the rest of the stuff I usually get. Combined info from 2 sources The 3D will introduce new sensor technology that will bring new levels of dynamic range and ISO performance. The camera will be geared to…
The latest on the next 1Ds I’ve received spots of info about the 1Ds over the last month or so. Some good stuff and some silly stuff (square sensor). Release Date? I’ve received a few dates, but the last one stated the 1st half of April 2010. The release would coincide with the new firmware for the 5D Mark II. Specs? The specs are basically the 1D Mark IV with a 32mp sensor and a much slower framerate. There has been no mention of any new 1Ds only features outside of the sensor. Could there be some advances in the…
UPDATE I received confirmation that the lens is the 800 f/5.6L IS. The shot was taken with a 400 f/2.8L IS. Weird look to it though. Hmmm A comment on the last thread brought up this image of a Canon pro with an unidentified lens. To me, It looks like the 800 5.6L IS. The problem is, it doesn’t seem like the right size for it. What do you think? The image is from here: http://www.usa.canon.com/ cr
D11? A 2nd waterproof added to the lineup? There could be a slimmer and trimmer version of the D10 coming down the pipe. It would be an addition to the lineup and not a replacement of the very successful D10. It would be 12mp, have 720p video and have a depth rating of 10 feet. SD1300 Possibly the most successful line of ELPH cameras, the SD1xxx series will receive a bit of a makeover. Expect to see a 2.7 inch screen and a slimmer body shape. SX210 The replacement of the SX200 will be along the same lines with a…
Under the weather Sorry for the delay, I had a nice bout with some bad chicken or stomach virus. Mark IV Unboxings! This is from Andrew Hobbs. He received his Mark IV in Melbourne, Australia. This comes from Jesper in Denmark Time off I’ll be off to Ireland on Friday, I’ll be tied up travelling on Christmas Day and sleeping off the jet lag on the 26th. Everyone have a great and safe Christmas/other holiday/Friday. cr
Various Reports I have reports from Bern, Switzerland and Oslo, Norway that Mark IV’s are being sold to consumers. I’d like to see an unboxing and/or some high ISO files. Send it to [email protected] cr
60D Specs Someone claiming to be testing a new APS-C camera from Canon wrote in yesterday. What are they testing? Specs 18mp APS-C 6.3fps Single Processor (DIGIC V?) Looks like a 50D, but has a dedicated video button 1080p Video (no info on framerates) Less weathersealing than the 7D Lenses The same person claims to also be testing the 24-70 f/2.8L II IS and a 100-200 f/2L IS. The 200 f/2L IS is pretty big (and a personal favorite), how big would a zoom version be? cr
Coming Soon As usual with hotly anticipated camera releases, delivery times are all over the place. This is what I have been told. – Hong Kong has a release date of December 23, 2009 – A Swiss rep has said dealers in Switzerland should expect a couple of cameras to show up before Christmas. – In Canada I`m told to be prepared for mid January for the first consumer deliveries. Professional customers may receive cameras before that. – In the States, I hear lots of conflicting stories. All of which say the camera should start shipping after new years. We…
