Canon France Teaser For A New Camcorder (?)

The image above has been published by Canon France. The accompanying French text says: Soon, we will share information that will change the way you look at the world…

It's most probably a new camcorder, given the way the girl in the pic holds the mysterious thing (the ping-pong ball also is not visible, don't know why)

Well, CES 2013 is not far away, the teaser may indicate some imminent product announcement.

Rumor: Canon EOS 7D Mark II Specs And Release Date (and 3D tidbits)

Northlight Images reports two rumors from two different sources concerning the Canon EOS 7D Mark II. Both sources suggest that the release, or at least the announcement, may be a matter of a few months. Let’s see them

  1. EOS 7D Mark II rumored to have a 21MP sensor, 10 fps, Dual Digic 5+, ISO 100-25600, should be announced in February and ship in April
  2. EOS 7D Mark II rumored to have a Digic 6 CPU, a new sensor design with more than 20MP, and to be announced in late spring. The new sensor design said to be featured also on the fabled 3D with >50MP. The 3D set be announced in late 2013-early 2014

Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. Personally I think that a 21MP sensor with 10fps burst rate could possibly need more CPU power than what is delivered by the Dual Digic 5+.

Btw, Adorama has the Canon EOS 7D discounted at $1199 (click here)

New Canon Cinema EOS DSLR With APS-C Sensor To Be Announced In 2013 (and built around 7D2)?

That's what a rumor reported by Canon Rumors appears to suggest. A new source told that Canon will announce a Cinema EOS DSLR with a smaller form factor than the EOS 1D C and no 4k video.

Obviously the question is around which APS-C sensor DSLR this new Cinema camera will be based on (was not mentioned in the rumor). The upcoming EOS 7D Mark II could be the perfect candidate.
