NEW CAMERA - EOS 80D?

Not to water down the party, but this featured product has been in development for over 5 years. This COULD be a prototype body or other form factor that was being used for development of an existing product...

Well you are no fun...

Don't think anyone will have to wait that long to find out CP+ is in early February in Japan and likely a few further leaks will appear and it will be a Rebel.
My bet is Canon will launch a new FF camera at The Photography Show in Birmingham UK it's where they first showed the 5d MKIII and that takes place in March and was a big success in 2014.

The 6D was a great budget FF!

They could just keep
1Dx mkII top 6000usd
5D mkIV "sporty" 3500usd
6D mkII Studio (36mp or more in the next) 2000usd
xxxD FF Top of the rebels (low budget FF) 1000usd

Right?

Looks right to me except I think the difference between the 5DIV and 6DII will be more than just sporty/studio. In fact when you think of how amazing a value offer the 6D is compared to the 5DIII it makes perfect sense to upgrade the 6D towards more value, let the Rebel line move towards FF and release a killer 5DIV.

Here's hoping Canon gets its right this time around.

Late March? Not a bad guess.

I'm still hoping for an even earlier launch at CP+. Canon needs to stir the Japanese market. This is their chance for a come back. Maybe a glass-boxed announcement at CP+ and product launch at Birmingham with first sales in April?

WHY does the world need another Rebel? >:(

Why would the world need another 1Dx? Or 5D? Or 6D?

Better DR, Better ISO, Better Shadow Recovery, Better Focus, Better ... wtv

I think the world needs a top lcd rebel line! :)

Because its gonna look awesome to play with! :D (my bro and sis would love one of those)

I want mirrorless. I love the camera that everyone hated--the EOS M. I bought two. I love using it vs a DSLR.

I don't see an 80D. There isn't room between a 70D (still way too new) and the 7D2. Could be a replacement for the 60D.

I'm in the "new entry full frame camp". A rebel sized full frame with the famous 18MP or perhaps the 20MP 6D sensor with a soon to come 6D2 going more upper tier

The video shows an EF-S lens attached. My bet is on the Rebel / APS-C.

Canon's new docking station is almost exactly 2" tall, the 70d is 4.1" tall, the sl1 is 3.57" tall, the 5diii is 4.6" tall, To my eye this is a little less than twice as tall as the docking station, and so more sl1 or rebel-ish material and nothing pro-sumer or higher...

I'm just going to say that it better not be another rebel. The t3i is still selling so well and honestly, the t4i and t5i are identical. Fail Canon. ;D

It could be the world's smallest FF dslr. Canon already did it with the SL1/100D. :P i say that because the top lcd, the articulating screen (compete with D750?), on/off switch, and side card slot (it looks like). will see if this hype leads up to anything.

It's definitely not a 80D or a replacement for any of the larger cameras. Looking at the relative size of the SD card slot, the buttons, etc, it's about the size of a rebel. Definitely based on the video that is a EF-S lens, so probably either a newer rebel or a new segment for Canon.

But can you possibly segment between 2 and 3 digits model numbers? 2.5 digits? :-[

Because everybody has to give their two cents I guess I better too. T6i is what it looks like to me. You have the lcd top plate (love it, but it is somewhat redundant to an articulating lcd?) which indicated 80d niche. However, look at the back "scroll wheel button". Hard to tell, but to me it doesn't look like there is separation between knurling and the painted on indicators, which means it is push button only. To me, that screams t6i more than anything. everything above entry level before has had scroll wheel. Didn't realize how nice it was to have until I had it with 5d.

There is also the third alternative that it is a consolidation of the t6i/70d lines in order to better differentiate market-wise. with Dual-pixel and flip out screen being offered in everything low level I was having trouble distinguishing anyway. Makes logical sense to me. What do I know, I'm just a business major, not a doctor...
