What's coming?
I'm told we'll be seeing a slew of PowerShot cameras announced. Including high end ELPH/IXUS models.
DSLR?
We will see 1 or 2 SLR's announced alongside the point & shoots.
There will be at least 1 Rebel announced. The possible 2nd SLR “sounds like a 60D”.
Lenses?
From this source it's unknown at the moment.
As always, we'll keep you posted.

a 60d would/should/could =
– similar size and build to previous xxd
– new/improved sensor + higher/better ISO capabilities than 50d; mp TBD
– dual slots for CF and SD (to accommodate Rebel users upgrading)
– +video
– no built-in flash commander (they have to leave something out, and while that’s a great feature, there are other ways of triggering a flash. Especially if you already own an ste2 :D)
– improved AF, but without the zillions of focus points of the 7d
– slower fps/processor than the 7d
I’d buy one ~$1100-1200 in a heartbeat – I need to upgrade from my current Rebel body, but don’t need the extra speed the 7d offers. I’ve been holding off buying a 50d just in case something else emerges in February.
They let you use that name?
…perhaps I give too much credit to peoples memory and all have forgotten.
If the ISO also sets a new standard for a crop camera you will need to be fast to beat me into the line.
I’m looking to buy my 1st dslr. I have 2 P & S which I like alot however I’m looking to get more out of the photos I take. I have kids which is what I mainly take photos of and I’m considering either the Rebel t1i or the 7d. The thing that scares me about the 7d is the size and weight. I’m not sure if it’ll to big to carry around and still enjoy taking photos. However my in law had a 5D mark II and I loved the photos he was taking. Can I still get that from the rebel line? I think I may still wait to see what comes out in Feb. Any suggestions I’m open.
Thanks
If you know someone with a 5dMk2 they are probably a good resource and I would make sure to talk to them.
A Rebel obviously has some limitations compared to both the 7D and the 5Dmk2 but the reality is that you can do at least 90% of the same things as you could with the other cameras. With out knowing more than you have written here I would say that the Rebel is probably the way to go.
If you have an iching to spend more money spend it on lenses. They will have a bigger impact on your pictures and last longer.
