500D?
Just had another source saying there will be no 500D as originally planned at PMA. I still don’t have any [CR4] level information on this topic.
Lenses
A good source says to still expect 2 lens announcements at PMA. Nothing definite on which lenses. Actual launch of new lenses could still be a few months off.
Flashes
The only flash I think is realistic for PMA would be the 300 EX style flash.

When is PMA?
March 3-5
580ex II is much poorer than nikon sb900
canon need to do something, add 820.11 wireless flash trigger
or bluetooth trigger
hope new lens will be either 35 1.4 L II or 24-70 IS
I am looking for an update on 100-400L IS
I second on the telephoto… either a new, sharper 100-400 with an even better IS or a 200-500/5.6 IS that is sharp and NOT astronomically expensive… under/around 2k would be OK
I hope Canon will announce another EF-S telephoto lens such as EF-S 55-150mm F/2.8 IS USM around 1K.
Or another one with quality as good as 17-55mm but has a little more range such as EF-S 17-70mm F/2.8~4 IS USM
It’s sad there is no 500D in PMA. But, hopefully we can see it announced later this year(with AF HD movie mode).
hope that it will be the 24-70 f/2.8L USM
@bryan – havent we already got one of those? :o)
EF-S 55-150mm F/2.8 IS USM is the lens that is missing in the Canon Lens catalog!
The 100-400 is already plenty-sharp.
People complaining about IQ are 300% pixel peepers.
It’d be nice to have it updated with a faster aperture, newer IS and better AF system, but the IQ is already top notch.
My vote would be for a 24-70 2.8 IS and a 35 II or Redone T/S 24.
I sent an email to Yoroku Adachi President & CEO
Canon U.S.A., Inc. stating that delaying the release of the 500D would be a mistake as plenty of people are willing to buy it now. If anyone else is interested in emailing as well assemble this address: Y Adachi at Canonusa dot com
ROFL @ bluetooth/wifi flash sync. What’s the sync time of that, 1 second or slower?

wait for it…
wait for it…
there goes the flash
Is there any sign, clue or anything about a EOS 3D ???
I wonder its specs, and if it offers full manual control in Movie mode.
I could be really interested on it….
I have been waiting for the replacement of the 400/5.6L for a too long time….
Yes, a 400IS F5.6L or 500IS F5.6L would be great! Weather sealed as well. At minimum, Canon needs a 300IS F4 Mk II with 4-5 stop IS and weather sealing.
50mm f/1.4 mk II!
I have a Zeiss lens 45mm f/2.8 for my old Contax what is very tiny (90g). Why canon has not such a small lens at EF-Series or EF-S ? With such a lens you can carry the camera all the time with you.
jWeu => ef 50mm f/1.8 (130g)!

I’m expecting an 24-80 f2.0 IS(4f stop) and a new 80-250f2.8 IS(4f stop):D
…just a dream…
