<strong>….. because you can


</strong>A friend of mine had a chance to play around with the new Canon EOS M. He did what I would have done the second I got my hands on the camera…. mount it to the lovely EF 800 f/5.6L IS.</p>
<p>Here’s what it looks like. I must say this looks like an extremely comfortable setup for general walk around birding.</p>

<strong>An “entry level” Full Frame Camera


</strong>[<a href="http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_6d.html" target="_blank">NL</a>] has posted a spec list of the rumored “entry level” full frame camera that will be announced for Photokina. This camera would take the place currently held by the 5D Mark II. It’s fairly close to what <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/07/canons-next-full-frame-camera-cr2/" target="_blank">we have posted previously</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Specifications</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Two different sensor specs received (thanks) for a ‘cheaper’ FF DSLR.</li>
<li>One suggests an 18MP sensor and the other 22MP</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Other features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Design closer to 7D than 5D3 (smaller and with flash)</li>
<li>7D style AF system (19 pt) and VF LCD</li>
<li>7D metering</li>
<li>Single Digic 5+</li>
<li>3.9 fps</li>
<li>3 inch LCD</li>
<li>51200 max ISO</li>
<li>Below $2000 USD</li>
</ul>

<strong>From POTN


</strong>Over a POTN there is a thread talking about a “1D X Successor”, basically a “slower 1DX”. Judging by the rumored price of $4000 AUD, I wouldn’t think it’s an “EOS-1″ body, perhaps a large megapixel camera above the 5D Mark III.</p>
<p>I believe we’ll only see one new full frame camera in 2012, unless something gets announced at the end of 2012 for availability in 2013.</p>

<p><strong>More announcements coming

</strong>I’ve been told to expect two more announcements before Photokina begins in September. It’ll be a nice mix of DSLRs and lenses, as well as the usual PowerShot upgrades.</p>
<p><strong>Bodies</strong>

We expect 3 more DSLR announcements before the end of 2012, however only two of the three may come before Photokina. One of the cameras will be the full frame camera we’ve talked about before.</p>
<p><strong>Lenses

</strong>We still think a bunch of new lenses are coming down the pipeline from Canon. How many? By our count we hear at least 6 new lenses for the EF & EF-M mount before the end of  2012. Right now, we’re not sure how many before Photokina.</p>
<p>We were recently told that a new EF 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS was coming sooner than we originally thought.</p>
<p>All of this would leave us with a record year at Canon, with 6 new DSLRs and 13 new lenses.</p>
<p><strong>EOS M

</strong>We do not expect any other EOS M bodies before the end of 2012. I do expect a lens announcement or two to rekindle the hype around the system when it hits the streets in October.<strong> </strong></p>
