Where are the forums?
I had a love/hate with the forums. I think the forums could work on this site if done properly…. they weren’t.
I will bring the forums back when they can tie in better with WordPress, there needs to be some automation. Lots of people here want to discuss stuff and have some fun on forums.
I promise they’ll be back and 100 times better.
The downside? Everything currently on them will probably not be migrated over. I’ll do my best though.
ETA for the forums to come back? Sometime in the next 60 days.
Canon EOS 700D
It’s rare I get a good Photoshop job that I actually want to share on the site, but I liked this submission from Jan.
I love the scrollwheel!

Thanks for publishing. :)
just use bbpress for forums and make deep integration with wordpress :)
Canon, take notice!
But where’s the Live View/Movie Mode jog dial?
I was mid-post and the forum went down!
-Roar
Nice!
The thumbwheel + direction pad combo is a nice throwback to the Elan 7’s. Does it seem to also have a joystick in the upper portion?
I’d hit it.
Looks like a jog dial, yes.
Agreed – BBPress integrated with WordPress would make things extremely easy. There are also other integrations with WordPress from phpBB and other forum packages.
I’ve had experience with a few of these and would be happy to help get the new forums running.
Heh heh… nice try on getting Mr CanonRumors to let you in on his identity ;)
For the European name, I’ll agree with the EOS 700D suggested
For the American name, I propose the EOS Rebel E7i (after the ELAN 7)
For Japan, the EOS Kiss W (for “Wheel”)
Id love to be on the 500d/t1i Forum!!!
I can’t adequately express how grateful I
am for your Canon rumors site.
You do a fabulous job of research to keep
us freeloaders excited about equipment.
(Canon should be paying you big bucks !!!)
I have one thought about your stellar
predictions on lenses: it would be so
cheap to upgrade the 100-400 and Canon
would get the excitement of a “whole new”
product for a few thousand $ in engineering
and testing.
best wishes.
Whoops – I pressed the send key
by accident. I intended to write —
It would be so cheap to upgrade the 100-400
IS to the latest version and then Canon
would get the excitement of a “whole new”
product for a mere few thousand $ in engineering
and testing. Plus thew 100-400 IS (pun intended)
missing from the canon price list …
best wishes.
Should be forwarded on to Canon’s R&D department. Looks like a great idea!
it would probably be called 550d/TXi,T2i/Kiss x4
Ah. Didn’t realize Mr CanonRumors was hiding (i’m new to the blog) :)
perfect mock-up. Thanks for sharing.
Funny. Some people prefer the four way buttons to the wheel. :) I am fine with either.
yawn, show us some lenses man
I gues dilworth has it best:) agreed
I like the thumb dial/direction pad combo, so here’s some flight ‘o’ fancy for you:
The use of the thumb dial control with the direction pad, but use some sort of small screen on each button to display different functions, so it could be fully customizable, and you could save different sets, and just pick the set that fits the situation, and then, if necessary, customize it on the fly, or it could change according to those stupid programed scene modes. But you have to admit, that would be sweet to see in a future professional model.
the properties and price?
it seems like Pentax scroll wheel
That body look realy nice.
Why no back-light buttons ? Very usefull in low light conditions… my low-cost-cell-phone had some.
And always: 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS
if that is wider is better for handling but light
It’s the G10’s scroll wheel. ;)
It’s the jog dial used in the XXDs for quick selection of AF points. I loved it, when I used a 20D once.
Yup. No one knows his name.
I’d love my Elan 7E’s body with my 450D’s guts.
The grip on the 450D sucks.
I’m *so* sorry that my forums weren’t good enough for you. Maybe you’ll be able to dupe someone else into making your next ones. Ta-ta.
Maybe I add one later. But… were? ;)
Go and buy a 50D then? It seems to me as if the Elan 7E is more sized like a XXD rather than a XXXD?
To the right of the viewfinder. Like the EOS 7D.
Indeed!
That rss option on your site here is splendid, you should tell more folks about it in your next post. I haven’t noted it a first, now I’m using it each morning to check on any updates. I’m on a real slow dial-up link in Brazil and it’s rather baffling to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are… I’m always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well :-P
Looks cheap. Size does matter.
