It's going to be a cheap year for me then.

Re: Here's an Updated 2017 Canon Roadmap

[me=Sharlin]wonders how close the 8x0D will be to the 80D. They will probably retain the 19pt AF system. DPAF is more than not, I'd wager. [/me]

Re: Here's an Updated 2017 Canon Roadmap

Lenses:

Canon EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM with Ring-type USM and real FTM support. No STM II, please!

And by this you'd pay more for the kit lens than for the 1300D/Rebel T5.
Try your next wish


Edit:
"Your" lens already exists and is called EF-S 15-85mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM. But it is slightly more expensive than a normal kit lens.
And the main reason therefore are not the additional 30 mm on the long end nor the 3 mm on the wide.

@Canon Rumors
Can you please try to name the bodies (if known) also in their other brand-names like Canon f.e. 760D (european market) or Kiss X5 (asian market). Thanks in advance. It's always quite difficult to coop with the Txi/Txs names if you're not used to.So this will be an 800D + 810D equivalent?

The probability of this happening is exactly zero. It would be the stupidest decision ever made.

Re: Here's an Updated 2017 Canon Roadmap

Does this mean we should count out the previous CR1 for Canon's "internal roadmap to merge the 5DS(R) into a 5DS Mk2 in 2017"?

I was getting excited about the 5DIV sensor tech being applied to the already appealing 5DS line

Re: Here's an Updated 2017 Canon Roadmap

About 18 months back (give or take) there were some CR2 level rumors on the TS-E 45 & 90mm lenses being updated with newer versions (although the 90 was likely to be some a different focal length longer than 90).

The rumors on that just sort of went dark and I haven't seen anything further. Is that rumor dead or is there still something expected?

Re: Here's an Updated 2017 Canon Roadmap

Looks like its gonna be a very dull year compared to 2016! Bring on the 400mm with built in extenders!

Re: Here's an Updated 2017 Canon Roadmap

So if I have this right:

• Still no FF mirrorless, not even a low risk fixed lens offering like the RX1, Leica Q, etc.
• No replacement to numerous 20+ year old mid-grade USM primes (20 f/2.8, 28 f/1.8, 50 f/1.4, 85 f/1.8, 100 f/2)
• No higher quality lenses for EF-M
• No wide + fast + coma free prime purpose-built for astro
• No budget relatively affordable not super expensive long 200-600 zoom to compete with the influx of new offerings, and also to entice the higher-end crop camp to stay with Canon instead of giving the D500 + 200-500 f/5.6 VR a spin.

AvTvM might actually be right this time. I appreciate there's a lot of 'compulsories' in the pipeline (Rebels, 6D2, etc.), but one would think there'd be room to address some long-skipped-over areas of improvement.

STM is future!
Dump all old school USM now

Re: Here's an Updated 2017 Canon Roadmap

My money's waiting for a G5 X MkII. Any sign of that on your radar screen?

Re: Here's an Updated 2017 Canon Roadmap

This actually sounds like a really good year.

The 5D4 was very "evolutionary" but the 6D2 will be revolutionary compared to the 6D.
If Canon can shrink the form factor enough it might even convince me to try the 6D2 for backpacking instead of the ultralight entry Rebels.
Still wish we had an update for the SL1.
On that note, Canon still has room to do something interesting with the T7, maybe they could make the "s" larger and the "i" smaller, or at least one can can hope.
If nothing else next year I'll pick up a T6i at closeout prices, that camera is basically a 70D at half the price.

Well, as usual, people can't wait for the opportunity to complain and slam Canon. There are only two sentences in the opening of the article and apparently this is one too many for the brilliant readership of CA.

"Below is what we believe we know is coming in 2017, and we expect there are going to be other products as well."

To clarify:
1). No, this is not the complete list of probable products.
2). Expect other products as well.

Re: Here's an Updated 2017 Canon Roadmap

I would love to know the status of an updated TS-E 45mm as well!

About 18 months back (give or take) there were some CR2 level rumors on the TS-E 45 & 90mm lenses being updated with newer versions (although the 90 was likely to be some a different focal length longer than 90).

Re: Here's an Updated 2017 Canon Roadmap

Is there any word on an update of Vixia Camcorders (4K?)or is that outside the scope of coverage / no one cares?
