You may not like it, but announcing a new product without being ready to produce itis just bad businessseems to be the norm for Canon these days....

Surely they can't simply produce another minor iteration with the 18MP sensor, what worthwhile addition can they make that doesn't take it into 60D territory? Maybe they're planning to introduce the new APS-C sensor on the 650D.

I just can't keep dealing with crazy moire patterns in my video. I really think the earthquake becoming Canons way of just milking their customers. Sony doesn't seem to have a problem with announcing and delivering new Cameras and Nikon is set to release some.
Why not Canon? Why not at least give some specs? Why such secrecy? It's completely bad business at this point to just milk people dry on yesterdays tech.
I think everyone should just NOT buy a camera unless you absolutely have to. That way sales will stall, and it may be the only way for them to release something, since Canon has shown that they only understand money.

Digic V. They've unveiled new Digic processors in lower end cameras before (even P&S, I think). T4i might have the same sensor, but be the first entry-level camera to do 10+ fps, better noise handling, better DR, etc...
For those who think this is "crazy" or would cannibalize their line, I say you guys are nuts. Nobody who needs a pro body is going to drop their FF body or 7D to switch to a Rebel. Some would probably upgrade their backup camera, which would suit Canon fine. But Nikon would feel a blow. The competition (and Canon knows this) is between their low end and Nikon's low end. Their mid-end and Nikon's mid-end. Their high-end, etc...
I think the reason they "downgraded" the xxD line was to put more space between it and the xD line. It's all due to similar reasons that they're gonna get combine the 1D bodies: advances are coming so fast that it's hard to differentiate, and prices are dropping on great gear so much, there's no room in the middle!
With a new 5D body in the $2,500 range, there's not much space for THREE tiers of models below (four, if you count the XSi or entry-entry Rebels). I'd be happy to see the xxD line disappear. The Rebels are incredible cameras for the price. Let them sit in the $900 range and pack in the features (like Digic V and higher FPS). Let the 7D sit in the $1,500-$1,700 range. Then the 5D, and then the 1D.
I don't think the order they upgrade these in is all that important. Nobody is screaming about how far superior the rear LCD is on the Rebels compared to the 1D when that upgrade happened. And who would have thought a Rebel would have remote flash control built-in? Doesn't that sound like something that would "cannibalize?"

LetTheRightLensIn said:They are in SERIOUS danger of blowing the high quality mini movie camera market to Sony, by milking current line so long and protecting 1 series etc they may protect and milk themselves right out of the market and lose a lot more in the end! That said, at this point they may be stuck because of the earthquake, but that is why they should not have rested in their laurels so much earlier.
hutjeflut said:i cant see the t4i being released before the 70D as there is nothing else to put inthere wich by then will be worth the money as any improvement will mean you will be buying a 60D unless they will have a new sensor by then but i cant see them put a new sensor in a rebel first.
