We’re told by a great source that the next Canon DSLR announced with be a brand new entry level model below the EOS 100D. We’re told the announcement is “soon”. Which we expect to be for CP+ next month in Tokyo.</p>
<p>The same source also commented that two more DSLRs would be announced in 2014 and one of them would be the EOS 7D Mark II. There was no mention of what the third one would be, as that could still be under tight wrap in Japan.</p>
<p>No specs were given for any of the cameras.</p>
<p>It was also confirmed that “a lot” of lenses were coming this year.</p>

<p>It turns out Sigma’s goal isn’t to top the Canon 50′s in performance, but to get as close as possible to the new king of resolution, <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1007599-REG/zeiss_2010_056_55mm_f_1_4_otus_lens.html/bi/2466/kbid/3296" target="_blank">the $4000 Zeiss Otus 55 f/1.4</a>.</p>
<p><strong>From Imaging-Resource</strong>

<em>“But the most impressive information we gleaned? When discussing their goals of image quality and sharpness for the lens, Sigma mentioned they’re confident they’ll surpass competitive products from Canon and Nikon and are instead gunning for Zeiss’s new 55mm Otus lens. It’s a serious claim. The Zeiss 55mm f/1.4 Otus lens – with its $4000 price tag — is squarely aimed at high-end professional shooting such as fashion, advertising and editorial work.”</em></p>
<p>A lofty goal indeed.</p>

Rumored specs for a replacement to the PowerShot G1 X have surfaced on the Xitek forums. The camera will “probably” be announced for CP+ next month in Tokyo. If true, it looks like Canon isn’t straying too far from the original G1 X. Pricing will probably be the biggest thing in this cameras success. It can’t be anywhere near the original $700 price tag.</p>
<ul>
<li>20.2MP 1.5″ CMOS sensor</li>
<li>3 inch LCD touch screen</li>
<li>Similar size and design to the G1 X</li>
<li>DIGIC 6</li>
<li>24-120mm f/2.8-5.8</li>
<li>New “real image” optical viewfinder.</li>
</ul>

Another mention of a <a href="http://www.canonwatch.com/rumor-canon-eos-7d-replacement-cp-new-tidbits-rumored-eos-a1/" target="_blank">hybrid viewfinder coming to a “high end” Canon DSLR</a> is making the rounds.</p>
<p>Basically, the viewfinder is both electronic and optical. The electronic viewfinder would take over for video recording and the optical viewfinder would be used for stills.</p>
<p>I see this as a possibility in one of two cameras initially. Either a replacement to the EOS-1D C or in the EOS 7D Mark II (could be named something else). We’ve been told in the past that the EOS 7D replacement would receive a host of video features to help differentiate the camera from the EOS 70D and everyone else currently making a high end APS-C DSLR.</p>
<p>I think whatever replaces the EOS 7D will definitely have some new technology in it, just like the 7D did when it arrived on the scene 4.5 years ago.</p>
<p>More to come…</p>
