Announcements
The press event turned out to be a workshop for the T2i according to DigitalREV
We did officially get the new ImagePROGRAF printers.
1Ds4 & More
Chalk this up to a learning experience. If there’s no news, there’s a big reason for that. I had no CR3 sources saying anything. I do apologize.
Site Issues
So, the new hosting service isn’t working out either. I have hired someone to explore my needs to get it right next time. I just can’t know everything.

As said before, Canon does strange things lately.
Its not the first time they hold off at the last moment.
I had told you guys that I didn’t receive an invitation.
There is still none in my postbox….
So now that the Rebel T2i is out, are we going to have price cuts on other Canon cameras?
Was really hoping for a 60d announcement. I sold my t1i just prior to the t2i announcement hoping to upgrade to a 60d. I hate to go too long without a camera, but the 7d is just a bit out of my price range.
Wait on the 60d? Wait on a price drop to $1500 for the 7d? Get a 50d now for $930? Decisions, decisions.
FF x0d March’10 $1599.99 body only.
Dang! Where’s the 24-70/2.8L IS we were promised “for sure?”
Disappointing day…
Cr guy, Your work is appreciated!
Firmware for 5D Mark II is ready since so long ago and has 720p.
We have not one, but lot of confirmations.
That “marketing strategy” started to suck so much…
“Business are business”, but sometimes it shows its real face much clearer, and… really smells bad indeed…
Where is the fun with rumours if they all turn out to be true?
My guess is that on March 10 we will see the 1Ds4, probably along with the 24-70 f/2.8L IS. The keyword here is “guess”.
As for the 60D, I would be surprised if it was FF. Sometimes I like surprises, but for the 60D I really don’t care. For a FF body my 5D2 will have to do for a little while, and I am not in the market for another crop body within the foreseeable future.
this website is useless gay crap…..
Like your posts.
lol then why are you here?
resolution?
50 pentapixels.
Sorry but… 0_o
You sold your camera, waiting for a 60D?
Wasn’t it obvious for at least the last 2 Months now, that there won’t be a 60D at the moment?…
By now it should be clear that the 60D will come in autumn at the earliest.
Trying to decide how much I really need video. That will determine if I’m getting the 7D or the 50D. Have up to late May to decide. Hopefully there’ll be a 60D by then.
That’s a Wednesday. AFAIK, Canon has the habit of making announcements on Tuesdays. How credible in this rumor? Just saying…
indeed -_-
got your firmware confirmation this week 5d Mark II Team…but for the wrong camera!
Don’t feed the trolls please
50 pentapixels!!! Im selling my 3D for that!
re: 1Ds Mark4
BRAVO! You did a great job of making a complete fool of yourself!
You’ve been teasing us for months about this and giving us bogus “inside” information about it and then when you were ready to spring it on us it blew up in your face.
I’ve been following this blog for quite a while but now I realize it’s basically useless for inside information.
Your lame excuse that you didn’t have super super super duper tip tip tip top CR3 sources is pathetic in the extreme.
What a maroon.
I couldn’t resist. =]
what’s a maroon? are you calling him purple? or are you a moron that doesn’t know how to spell?
this is called canonRUMORS for a reason! if you don’t like it, then start up canonfuturefacts.com and see how much traffic you get.
thanks for the good work admin! we appreciate the time and effort you give!
That’s right. It’s not like you’re an evil genius bent on twisting the minds canon folks by creating false hope through faked rumours….right…. Hey are you sitting in a chair right now with a white cat, a mini CR guy and a “Lazer”
That’s why the site is called canonrumors and not canonfuturehardware.com
CR2 means it might be and there are indications but it might as well not be for a while. Sure, I’m disappointed that the 24-70 2.8 IS was not presented but hey, life goes on. Maybe march 10. At least we have another date to look forward to :)
Well they sure took their time… I got mine 4 weeks ago and it was already updated to 1.1.0.
QFT
Feel free to look elsewhere if this FREE site doesn’t meet your expectations. Perhaps canonfacts.com.
Well they sure took their time to release this one. I got my camera 4 weeks ago and it was already updated with 1.1.0.
Unlike Nikon Rumors were the admin was 100% convinced that 2 new dSLRs will be announced not because he heard it from a reliable or even half reliable source but merely because he had a fanboy hunch. At least CR only stated that a dSLR announcement was highly probably but not definate because the admin recieved no CR3 information and basically say wait and see.
Canon Rumors is a fine site. There aren’t any guarantees with rumors. If it dismays you beyond the point of recovery that there is no 60D right now, then just grab some salt and eat your gun.
admin, I don’t know what you’re thinking with your unrealistic expectations in these very tough economic times. Canon needs to make money on cameras and replacing their flagships isn’t cheap and can be done as often as you would like. People need to start using their equipment instead of pressuring for more and more new models they will never own.
what’s next a 5DIII next month followed by a 1DV next year?
Same applies for lenses. The constant cry for updates for lenses which are perfectly ok today just because “they were released long ago” is silly.
Canon has to make a profit and putting out high end cameras in short cycles without having a chance to recover R&D costs isn’t one.
canon going to wppi with the 1DIV, rebel, 7D and late last year new lenses additions is more than adequate.
The source was DigitalRev, a grey-market camera reseller that is currently professing to have T2I’s in stock, and is scalping them for $100 more than the list price ($USD). They should certainly be taken with a grain of salt.
When CanonRumors names a source, you might want to investigate the credibility and ethics of that source independently.
I think canon world had a ‘ indicating march 2010, not exactly the 10th
Try not to be too hard on the NR guy, he was right, Nikon did announce two cameras. It just turned out that they were not new! Lets face it, if you heard the same news on the grapevine it would be all to easy to let your imagination run wild, especially when a new camera is ‘due’. Poor NR guy!
This is a “rumor” site, you should have watched Canon.com for “straight useful” information, and leave the rest of us to have some fun in guessing “what’s next”.
CR: regarding the website problem, is it possible that Canon also hired someone to …? You know, you constantly steal the thunder from them. This is rated CR1. :)))
What will a non-maroon guy do? Predict the next camera without any miss? I would love to switch to that blog and dump CR completely. Please, let us know when you setup CanonNews.com. Better yet, put it on Facebook, I will become a fan.
Heck I’d tell my 2DsmkVIIp
*sell
I agree with Joe. Superb job. Now, I love my 24-70L even more…
That’s the problem with getting your info from a “team”.
They do overprice new products. They have the 1DIV at a greatly marked up price too. Price gougers and proud of it!
I am waiting for 3D/5D3 and would love to see it tomorrow. But realistically, both Canon and Nikon are rolling out new models like crazy. Thinking about 40D/50D, D3/D3x, it is for the purpose of wining the competition of market share.
At APS-C side, with 7D body selling at ~$1400, the 60D will be forced to lower down to ~1000 so that they wont compete with each other. Even that will be a bad marketing strategy.
For the FF camera, I don’t expect Canon to have 5D2 out so shortly after 5D2. And if there is a 5D3, it will mean minimal improvement from 5D2. That said, a 5D2 with 7D AF system and viewfinder will be nice. I guess this all depends on what Nikon will do.
Eventually Canon and Nikon will form a kind of equilibrium and stop the heated competition which could hurt both sides. There is when Sony comes into play. :)
IMHO CR helps Canon. Buzz buzz buzz.
One press release after the big event PMA, is a not possible anyway.
@hoktar
The first priority was maximizing the sale price, hence selling it the weekend before the T2i was announced (thanks CR!)
In that case, Nikon must be the one who did this to CR. :)))
Hey CR guy, keep up the great work on the site. I appreciate all the new rumors and excitement that you generate. It is fun to guess, confirm, and be dashed all in the same post. Too bad some people don’t see it for what it is.
Cheers…
I remember Aug 26, 2009 it was said something big would happen but then just a Fax/Printer. Everyone was disappointed. Then on Sep 2, 7D came out. So be positive, maybe this time something similar will happen again.
These things happen.. this is a rumour site at the end of the day!
I read Canon Rumors everyday, it’s fun to speculate, and there’s a great community on here that love Canon technology.
Sometimes CR will be right, sometimes not.. but I love the ideas that pop up on here and enjoy the anticipation of finding out if they are true.
To all the people complaining, just lighten up! The guy that runs this is doing a great job, that must take a lot of time and effort.. and I for one would like to congratulate hi on that.
I’ll second that. I was torn between the 500D, 50D and 5D but this site flagged the pending 60D/7D. Waited to buy the 7D and couldn’t be happier.
Rumours are going to be wrong sometimes but at least it’s fun to read and it can save you from making the mistake of buying a piece of kit about to get upgraded.
Thanks for all the hard work to make it happen!
10 yrs ago x0d changed amateur shooting experience now a FF body will
There is still that big box store DSLR code out there. The T2I was 8000270. What about 80000287?
Well i guess Canon just did what they do best … DISAPPOINT!
Is very sad for all the T1i owners to see this camera t2i coming out so fast, I think that this new Canon firmware release for the t1i is nothing interesting or at least i never had problems with live view as they say this update is for, or language things, I have no idea if someone experienced that problem before, I really was excited to think I’ll have 30fps on 1080p but that was just a fools dream, tho I ask my self “can anyone hack a firmware to make that happen?” is it possible?
Love your site. Keep up the good work.
Fingers crossed for some new L’s.
doubt a 60D will be announced anytime soon or made available by then. go with the 7d. trumps 50d in every way.
I’m not dissappointed – have a great camera (7D) with some great lenses from Canon. Sure I want the 24-70 IS as much as the next person, but a slightly longer wait doesn’t change that there is great stuff out there already (if you don’t believe that, you should be buying another brand). No need to bash Canon, they never promised to release it yesterday
We said announcements would be this week, not specifically for the 5D2.
But aside the fix for 500D, the firmware for 5D2 is ready to be released, fully confirmed since long ago, and many confirmations about imminent release too. (We reserve more comments)
We can’t put a gun on Canon CEOs’ heads to make the order…
But indeed is waiting on the desk, and it’s getting dusty.
just bring us new 24-70 and new 14-24 2.8
forget about the camera.
This update will not support 50fps at 720p?
Just curious why everyone so keen on the 14-24 2.8 when there is the 16-35 2.8? is this supposed to be cheaper? IS? EF-S?
No apology necessary fro me it was a great ride and we all know it’s going to happen sooner or later, certainly brightened up the manky weather here in the UK! :0)
buy a nikon then
Im happy in a way! gives me more time to save for it haha.
They just want what the noinks have.
In any case, the event is more suitable for the announcement of a pro body than the 60D.
Has anybody checked out the new firmware if there are any new “mystery” camera IDs hidden in there?
…including price and weight.
I think Canon will save their big gun for Photokina in September. March might see the 60D.
Want the 24-70 IS but I also like the idea adding IS to the 200 2.8
Would give you a great 200mm prime with a relatively cheap option of a 280 f4 IS with the 1.4x extender (or a 400 5.6 IS with the 2x at a push)
Please change title of site to repackaged Dpreview.com
Thank you.
““can anyone hack a firmware to make that happen?” is it possible?”
Probably, look at all the Magic Lantern stuff for the 5D MkII. The question is: is anyone going to bother? Wouldn’t get your hopes up.
The other option, if you just can’t wait, is to buy the Nikon 14-24 2.8 and an F to EF mount adaptor. Sure you lose AF but then I find that I use my UWA lens on manual focus most of the time. This is because I mainly use UWA lenses for landscapes, but I guess there are many other uses that require AF.
That is still a few months away. Let’s hope we get some “big gun” lenses for Photokina.
Canon had their 23 feb event just didn’t have what you wanted. Rumors disapointed you not Canon.
Canon have not confirmed the 5DII will get 720p – in fact they have never claimed it will get 720p – only 24/25p – you need to do some research !
It’s not a matter of switching sides, it’s just that lens wise they have been stalling too long and others are passing them by. Take sigma for example with their 85mm 1.4 and the new 70-200 OS they are yet to be tested but they are at least trying.
A touch harsh Mark. When an event such as PMA is going on, what do you expect CR to do -not report announcements?
You’ll find it difficult to pick up any rumours on DPReview’s editorial content as they are under NDAs. As for their message boards -yes they often contain the same rumours, but that’s often because people post what they’ve read on CR!
Hey don’t visit this site if you hate it that much. The “maroon” CR logo doesn’t like you anymore :D
There’s always CanonUSA.com for you. It’s a CR4.
Riiiight, since, if A tells you that B will give you money and B (who never said he would) refuses, it is B’s fault. Flawless logic! :/
yes, it doesn’t look good for the 60D in March. But anything could happen, maybe even those guys suggesting a FF are not crazy. unlikely, but Canon could announce a 60D FF as the new wedding photo’s choice…
well actually, DigitalRev are pretty cheap here, the cheapest in fact. they’re a good $300 UNDER the Australian retail price at $1049 on eBay buy now (free postage) VS $1349 as listed on canon.com.au
i couldn’t get it cheaper anywhere else if i tried.
stop being poor LOL “a bit out of my price range” if you need it you get it, no questions asked. people who budget cameras are idiots.
LOL 24-70 IS, go get Tamron you n00b.
Which Tamron 24-70 with stabilization are you talking about?
canon just released a 70-200 2.8 IS too….
I like this site and it does exactly what its name is….
I come back here because it always gets me excited on new stuff and rumors… the site is fine.
I appreciate your work.
thank’s for your work, CR … as said before, a rumor is sometime right, sometime wrog, otherwise it’s not a rumor …
Maybe it’s a way for canon to have a glimpse on user’s wishes …
they had a full bunch of it …
Nah, it’s always long after the 1D announcement that the 1ds comes out.
Wouldn’t surprise if Canon themselves have been feeding you duff info just to discredit the rumours for future sales.
I still enjoy the site.
Agreed!! :D Canon Rumours Rocks :D
Anyway Nikon Rumours also seems to be getting inaccurate… like what admin predicted – didn’t come out. Perhaps Nikon and Canon and both trying to sith out the leaks… heh :P
Yeah! I mean… what’s 21st Century Photo Taking without the rumours…
Hey CR,
I really appreciate your work too! I am looking on to your site every day about 3 times to check the newest rumors on canon gear!
Just go on like always and ignore those crazy peoples comments :-P
Yup yup yup. CR site is great. If it was all factual, it wouldn’t be a rumor site. Keep up the good work.
Why would Canon do that? After all, this site is mostly just free publicity for Canon (minus a few trolls). If they wanted to, they could even pick up a good idea or two, but I doubt they go that far.
Of course we already know that Canon never confirmed that. We do LOT of research…
What we tell is not based on the “official” Canon announcements. That would be silly and useless… since you can read that at Canon’s website.
BTW, CHECK OUR LAST POST AT THE BLOG.
Its not the first time they screw up the non-english menus, too.
They should try the Babel fish!
Or you can just buy the t2i which is pretty much good as the 7d and having it include the various video capabilities and having the external mike input for cheaper price than the 7d…
Are you always this much of a jerk, or are you just having a bad day?
How does wanting a 24-70/2.8L IS make me a “noob?” And why, under any circumstances, would I want a Tamron instead of a Canon 24-70? I own the current version, happen to have a very good copy, but my work in low-light situations really calls out for an IS version. Tons of people are asking for the same thing. I’m not alone.
You, however, need an attitude adjustment.
Recently my 500D’s mirror started to creak terribly at the moment Live View or Video mode were switched on. After a while, an Error 20 started to show, and these modes refused to work.
After this firmware update the mirror in Live View / Video goes up much faster with less sound, and I think Err.20 will disappear as well.
Thank you Canon for fixing the bug!
Hi just stumbled your blog and have been reading some of your entries and just wondering why you selected a WordPress site dont you find it hard to do anything with? Been thinking about starting one.
