UK Exclusive: Canon Unveils White EOS 100D and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens

White will reflect the sun rather than absorb it, keeping the camera and lens cool, so hot climates like ... OOPS, Whats wrong here???

After a while it produced a grin on my face! Perhaps this camera is optimized for holy days in sunny and warn countries?

But - combined with e.g. a 70-200 it would be a nice combo for sunny days. Black cameras (notebooks etc.) will heat up to ~60 degree centigrade, well above specs for electronics and batteries. 7Dii in white would be very interesting ...

Past 2 years of Canon innovations press releases of powershots, Rebels, and stm kit lens innovations.

I thought the smart phone market was creeping into powershot margins, why bother with the powershot segment anymore?

Well cheers to another Q1 year of nothing but announcements of lenses and bodies from other camera brands.

While I wouldn't discount the 70D, which was innovation... I do second the sentiment

Hang on, have we gone back to the 1st of this month again? ;)

Seriously though I don't really see much point in white bodies myself when your going to eventually put a black lens on it. I even think the 'white' L lenses would clash on it as they're not true white like this is.

Oh well if some people like it that's the main thing I suppose.

I bet the majority of us posting here are middle aged men. The white versions of cameras are mainly bought by women and the EOS 100D / SL1 is definately aimed at the female market as much as men.
Whilst here in the UK we have a reputation for wet cold summers climate change is definately changing that (we just had a very sunny & dry two week period for instance so Spring is definately here).

If anyone has a 100d attached to a 70-200, please post it! Also mention how it feels with that lens on..

Here it is:

Normally the 70-200 is mounted to a (gripped) 7D, but this works too. You just hold the lens and the tiny 100D hangs on to the end of the lens barrel.

By the looks of it, the white of the "new" white 100D is a different shade of white than the L, which is more towards "creamy white".

I saw this picture (it's not mine!) of a white 40mm pancake, with red "L ring look" UV filter, that's something I'd actually like.

First they recycled the 18MP sensor, now they're recycling the body, maybe the 7Dmk2 will be a mk1 in disguise! (white paint job). If they really want a fashionable they should do a leopard skin one, please the wildlife photogs and the girls.
