The List of Gear to be Announced in February, Including More Speedlite Information [CR3]

[Canon Rumors]

We’ve known for a while what is likely coming ahead of CP+ this month, the trade show starts March 1, 2018 in Yokohama, Japan.</p>
<p><strong>Canon EOS M50

</strong>A mirrorless camera between the EOS M6 and EOS M100. We expect the price of it to be close to the EOS M6.</p>
<p><strong>Canon EOS Rebel T7

</strong>The replacement for the EOS Rebel T6.</p>
<p><strong>Canon EOS Rebel T100

</strong>A new low cost model below the EOS Rebel T7.</p>
<p><strong>Speedlite 470EX AI Auto Bounce

</strong>Judging by the name, this will be a flash with some new technology.</p>
<p><strong>New Lenses

</strong>If new lenses are announced, they’re likely to just be new kit lenses. We haven’t seen any evidence of anything too exciting, but there’s always a chance.</p>
<p>We’re hoping for a surprise coming from Canon for CP+, perhaps a development announcement or something exciting with the EOS M50.</p>

And that's just it? What about the special VIP invitation? A separate event?

Wouldn't it make sense to announce the EF-M 50mm equivalent at the same time?

Speedlite EX470...

I'm at a loss here - The 430-iii has radio... swivel/tilt... just smaller than the 600. What's to add to make a 470? Is there really a need for a size between the 600 and 430? I was hoping the new flash would be 3xx or 2xx size with radio, at least as a slave.

Re: The List of Gear to be Announced in February

Does the M Prime rumor fall outside the February list? As I saw nothing about the invite story changing to the M50 I am now wondering what is really solid on the EF-M lens front.

Yes, the EF-M prime is scheduled for September ahead of Photokina.

Thanks, got my trade shows confused there.

+1 I was hoping for 270EX III-RT or something like that, since it was supposed to be small and to have some prosumer level features

There is no RT in the new flash name so we can assume there is no RT in the flash. I'm not exactly sure what other technology they can stuff into a flash, other than to make it smaller. If it used LPE6 Batteries, that would be cool, I guess

Re: UPDATED: The List of Gear to be Announced in February, Including More Speedlite Information [CR3

"Speedlite 470EX AI Auto Bounce *UPDATE* Judging by the name, this will be a flash with some new technology"

"AI Bounce" is the bizarrely worded error one gets when the 430-iii's little white bounce card isn't pushed in all the way. As for the "Auto" part, maybe, the flash detects nearby white walls and ceilings and a motor whips it into the optimum bounce position. And some people complain about the mirror movement shaking the camera, hah hah!

Re: UPDATED: The List of Gear to be Announced in February, Including More Speedlite Information [CR3

So, essentially we're now hoping for some major news before NAB or Photokina?

T100? How much lower can you go than the 1x00D series? A $200 DSLR? Except for the Wi-Fi most of the tech in the T6/1300D is almost ten years old. I guess the T7 could inherit features from the T5i/T6i generation (omg, 24MPix sensor, all cross-type AF points!) and the T100 might be an even more stripped-down T6 (bye Wi-Fi? What did the RF certification data say again?)

Uhmmmmm..... the rumor of yesterday showed a T6 without Flashbutton on top and no cable release anymore. there is your T100.

Re: UPDATED: The List of Gear to be Announced in February, Including More Speedlite Information [CR3

So looks like CP+ is going to be strictly consumer-only... Guess that's the CR3 ratings gone on the gear that makes up most of this forum members' wish lists until the Photokina build-up!

I'd suspected that this would be the case, as the leaks that lead to CR3 ratings generally start to appear in the few weeks leading up to big announcements and it's been pretty quiet. The only high-end hope left is that we might get the new 70-200 f/2.8L before this summer's FIFA World Cup...
