<p><strong>From Nippon Magazine

</strong>A Japanese magazine has posted their predictions as to what they think Canon will be releasing in 2013. The list falls in line with most things we’ve heard, except for the last camera mentioned.</p>
<ul>
<li>EOS 70D – March 2013</li>
<li>EOS 700D – June 2013</li>
<li>EOS Me – July 2013</li>
<li>EOS 7D Mark II – August 2013</li>
<li>EOS 3D – October 2013</li>
</ul>
<p>The first four on the list are a lock to be coming in 2013, and the timing looks correct as well. As for the October announcement, I’ve heard nothing regards to that. I was told by a great source that <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2013/01/canons-roadmap-for-2013-cr2/" target="_blank">Canon would be releasing 3 DSLRs and 1 EOS M body in 2013</a>. However, that does leave a loophole for an “announcement” of another body, even if it isn’t available for purchase until 2014.</p>

Oh no!!! Buy the 7Dii or wait for the 3d?

;D and so it begins...again!

 

[jrista]

If the 3D is the bigMP camera, then those two are so divergent you might actually want BOTH!

 

[Loswr]

The 3D will have eye-controlled focus and a blink-activated shutter. You heard it here first.

Anyone know what Canon camera is in this below linked picture? Never seen one with the red piece by the hotshoe.

Update:Even more suspicious is the Canon logo has been removed, this has a pop-up flash and looks to be in new condition. Can't place the lens either the more I look at this - size wise looks like the 85mm 1.2 but the bulge appears different by the camera mount from the current 85,1.2???

How may posts "is the 3D is the best 3D camera?" do you predict?

Dont know but that red piece somehow makes the body look bad@$$/Evil. Could that red panel indicate pro-line series/bodies like the rings are for their L series lenses? Or it could very well be modified by the user who knows

Lens is the 50L. Camera looks like a 7D. If it was a new body, it would have the locking mode dial. The 7D has a separate piece of plastic where that red piece is, would be one click with the PS magic wand and a color change.

Will it do windows? Laundry without mixing colors?

You joke, but I like the eye controlled focus of my Elan 7e. I don't know if the technology is accurate enough to select and individual AF point in a 61pt grid, but if it's close it would be awesome.

Yes, if not this next cycle, definitely soon after eye-controlled AF will make its appearance in the higher end bodies. Conceptually, it is an old technology for canon, but will need tweaking for the modern AF systems. Very doable.

But Nikon is working on thought-controlled cameras.....

 

[ddashti]

Ah, the 7D Mark II is predicted to be released as summer ends?
How come not when summer starts like a few pages have mentioned?

 

[dolina]

Gents,

Remember these are all RUMORS. So look at it as a rough idea of what the future can bring.

then they will get loads of complaints from people
saying they are getting the following text imprinted accross their image

"HaHa sucked in canon users that dont have 14.1 stops of DR"

 

[Don Haines]

a 7D2, a 70D, and a 700D..... all APS-C and lots of rumours as to specs....
a 3D, rumoured to be the mythical high megapixel camera

but what is this EOS-Me? Is it above or below the EOS-M? Are there any rumours as to it's specifications?

 

[tiger82]

EOS Me will be the Windows Me of the camera world.

 

[TheBadger]

I know that this is a bit off topic but I couldn't help to notice an X-Pro2 and a X-E2 down the Fuji line for this year! Are you serious? The E-X1 haven't even had one year since its launch and now there is an X-E2??? Makes you wonder the reliability of these predictions.

That's what it looks like to me as well. As for the red panel, could also be paint or tape. Perhaps a test body?
