Two separate folks have written in to say we should expect some kind of a DSLR announcement for NAB 2014 in April.
NAB is generally for Cinema EOS and other cameras that could be looked at as professional videography tools. For this reason, I have a hard time thinking the EOS 7D Mark II would be announced for this show, even if it is rumored to have cutting edge videography features. I think the camera will still fall into the prosumer still photographer segment with some bonus sales to videographers.
I think we’re going to be getting a lot of 7D Mark II information in the next little while, most of which being wishful thinking. Â I’d bet on an announcement after NAB, with Cinema EOS products being announced for the show in late March or early April. We are told to expect 2 cinema lens announcements from a separate source.
We will see another round of PowerShot announcements, headlined by the SX50 IS replacement some time this spring, I think an EOS 7D Mark II announcement at that time is more likely.
This is also a Photokina year (we’ll be there), so I suspect we’ll see a big DSLR announcement in late August for that show.
More to come…
