<p><strong>This and That
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I have some loose information about what and when we can expect new cameras and lenses. It’s a collection from various folks.</span></strong></p>
<p>There will be no new products that will hit the shelves before the end of 2010. There <em>could</em> be an announcement before 2011 however.</p>
<p>Another good source has suggested we will see a replacement to the 5D Mark II before a 1Ds Mark IV. It’s 50/50 with sources as to whether it’ll be a camera added to the lineup or a direct replacement of the 5D Mark II. This announcement will bring about “2-3 lenses”.</p>
<p>I’m beating a dead horse here, but the still expected lenses are a 24-70 upgrade, a replacement to the 180mm macro and a new prime of some kind. Lenses are always difficult to nail down far in advance.</p>
<p>A lot of people have said 2011 will be a big year for innovation from Canon. As we’ve seen from some of their concept products, that could very well be true.</p>
<p>A 7D replacement won’t hit us until 2012.</p>
<p>I’ve been informed to say good-bye to DIGIC IV. Expect the 60D to be the last new body with the DIGIC IV processor (outside of a replacement entry level Rebel).</p>
<p>As for a mirrorless camera system, I have nothing to report of any value. We’re all still shuttering from the last rumor.</p>
