<p><strong>A New EOS?</strong>
The following spec list has appeared on the Best Buy web site. These specifications could possibly be placeholder specs, though they appear about as legit as they come.</p>
<p>The most telling features in the spec list are the dimensions. The weight of 13.1oz make this DSLR 5oz lighter than the Rebel T4i.</p>
<p>We’re still going with the EOS 100D name, but that may not be definite.</p>
<p>Pricing for the camera is going to be $799 USD with the EF-S 18-55 IS Kit, though this is unconfirmed.</p>
<p><strong>Specifications Breakdown</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Model: 8575B003</li>
<li>18mp APS-C sensor</li>

<td>This is not true zoom, it is merely simulating zoom by enlarging the existing image’s pixels by cropping. The actual length of the lens does not change. Digital zooming results in reduced image quality, and should generally be avoided or turned off on your camera altogether. Optical zoom is recommended to ensure crisp, detailed photos.</td>

<th scope="row">Flash Modes</th>
<td>Auto, flash on, flash off, red-eye reduction on/off, slow sync</td>
<td>Flash settings. Common modes include <i>Auto</i> (camera decides when the flash is needed), <i>Red-Eye Reduction</i> (minimizes eye reflections) and <i>Fill</i> (reduces deep shadows in bright sunlight).</td>

OK... if the new entry level below the t4i is going to have the 18mp sensor, then that pretty much signals the 70D and 7D mkII will (finally) have something better.

My speculation is a dual announcement event for the 70d and 7dmkII with a new sensor technology later this spring -- the 70D available immediately, the 7D mkII somewhat later. But might as well announce them at the same time to keep the 7d mkII crowd from settling for a 70D.

The high end models get a new sensor first. However, the t4i did have a new sensor with its hybrid autofocus, presumably, this is the same sensor as the t4i.


So far, I don't see anything I want, but its obviously not targeted at me.

As someone who regards small size and portability to be an important criteria whem buying a camera, I must say that it looks interesting.... but it is not for me.

I wonder if it has wifi..... and what movie modes are supported.... does it record RAW... is there AFMA.... is it really the same old sensor or is it a new one... so many questions.....

Cheap enough I could consider one. My oldest daughter is showing more and more interest in photography and I have been contemplating getting her a Canon DSLR. I would also use it as a less conspicuous camera to walk around with if it's small enough.

wow!

I'm suitably underwhelmed

now why would you buy this for the $200 premium over a T3i?
at least the T3i has 3x digital zoom in video mode which nothing else gets ::)
I think if you are coming into Canon DSLR from the P/S world it might be a very attractive option, but for those of us looking at it from the other direction your comment "suitably underwhelmed" says it all.

BTW: concerning digital zoom in video mode, the 60D has a 640x480 video mode cropped from the center of the screen..... it's really uesfull doing image stacking in astrophotography..... wonder why nothing else has it?

Based on the "projector pen" effort that they came up with for a simple IXUS/PowerShot...I don't think Canon will just drop any major body without leaks, song and dances, and elaborate teases...

Granted, very cheesy but remember what they did for the PowerShot N? The woman at the pool table holding an invicible camera...

For something significant like 7D2 we should expect a lot of slow "revelations" and build up over weeks.

Or the same.... 550D and 7D....

is there AFMA
For $799, not a chance in hell

Somehow I don't think the majority of the intended target consumers for this camera would care or know of AFMA. And I hasten to add, folks from this forum are not really representative of the mass public... we have a lot more gear heads here than an average consumer is likely to be.

These specs are vague. One thing I noticed was that it had optical stabilization as "yes." Does that mean in body stabilization finally?

That was the first ... okay only ... thing that caught my eye. If correct, it would certainly seem to be an odd strategy for Canon, as they have been putting IS into a lot of their new lenses (35mm f/2, for instance).
