Canon EOS 77D Coming Soon [CR2]

[Don Haines]

In the UK we used to have Ulay but in the US it was called Olay, we had to change to Olay. Opal fruits developed in the Mars UK factory was renamed Starburst because it was called that in the rest of the world.

So it would make sense for Canon to drop the Rebel name and bring it into line with the rest of the world or start a new global naming convention starting say with EOS 77D.

By your logic, it would actually make more sense to standardize globally on the Rebel nomenclature.

But why Rebel? Wouldn't a more appropriate name for the lineup be Conformist ?

I heard that it's a special edition going to be called the 'Republican T77DonDon' no idea why

That's the SL2, right? Made for small hands...

I just hope stupid Canon inplements Uhs-2 Sd slot and adds 4k video. That would be more than enough to upgrade from older cameras.

Canon is Smart, they have to protect its Cine Line.
Forever 1080 in foreseeable future

770d makes sense if that is it. They were burning through the remaining 3-digit names pretty fast, counting as they have in increments of 50 every model.

On the other hand why would they think the European market and the U.S. market are different enough that the former needs an xxx-d naming convention, while the latter would prefer T x - i names?

Maybe they should go ahead and come up with one name for these cameras that can be used in both markets.

Yep, make the Americans change to the more sensible European naming convention and get it done with.

Fine by me.

And there is more flexibility to extend the xxxD scheme. Just start counting by 10's instead of 50's and you have like 23 or 24 progressive names left to use. (760D, 770D, 780D....). The T4i, T5i, T6i... naming convention only gives you 3 more model names before it runs out. Since they release a new Rebel basically every year, that is not very much life left in the name.

There are other letters in the alphabet.

They better get that out soon. Japan peak shopping season starts on Jan.3rd as people have cash on hand with their winter bonuses. After that consumer spending just continues to fall month on month until the following January.

What's in a name?

Sorry if someone else already said that, this thread is not for me to read through.

 

[douglaurent]

The camera name that would make most sense is "EOS Rebelkiss 1080 Mark7".
Other than that I expect zero exciting things from this release.

Typo of 770D would make more sense. Some users confuse rebels with terrorism these days. Even in US, with is weird considering it's early history... Those dingbats might be put of having a rebel label hanging around their necks! ;-p

(1) Hopefully it is only a typo and it is the 770D (as -1 mentioned) - the Canon naming scheme is confusing enough
(2) I am interested in usabilty and image quality of cameras + compatibility

I think that the Japanese subbrand KISS (Keep It Simple stupid) is a very appropriate and telling label for the Rebel and XX0D cameras. Lets go Japanese! )

 

[Azathoth]

77D? So it will be something between a 70D and 80D? Makes no sense at all. Even the differences between those 2 bodies are small...

Maybe but the 600D is a solid camera using it with M, Tv or Av. The flexible display angles combined with Magic Lantern enables a good video solution for those who need a video camera with macro, ultrawide or tele enabled. I love the 3x digital zoom which gives extraordinary video quality with a 3x zoom!
These cameras are maybe kept simple stupid in standard use/config but are also a very capable tool in the hands of (technically) knowledged photographers.

But from the ergonomics point of view I like the xxD series or the 5D more but the old F-1new MUCH more.

Sure. I'd recommend Omega for Canon since it's gonna be doomsday for their mirrorslappers soon ...

So now you want Americans to confuse dSLRs with high-end wrist watches?

A name change would probably be a good idea in many parts of the world. For instance, here in Canada, we are too polite and conformist to use anything called a Rebel... we would be better off if they were named "Chipmunk XXX", the XXD series renamed Beaver XX, the 7and 5series renamed Coyote XX and Wolf XX, and the 1DX2, of course, renamed "Moose XX

 

[AvTvM]

yes, really funny to call the most conservative, crippled, least innovative, decidedly non-"disruptive" technology mirrorslapper series "digital Rebel". :

 

[drmikeinpdx]

I'm planning to purchase a T7s, regardless of what they call it. My only concern is which sensor Canon decides to put in it.

Rebel class bodies make great walking around cameras. I also use them as backup to my 5D3, since they don't take up much space in my camera bag.

Back a few months, there were rumors about a “new nameplate” coming to the EOS DSLR family. A brand-new, never-before-seen DSLR joining the lineup. That was my first thought that came into my mind when reading about this "77D".
