Another very good deal by Top Rated Plus eBay seller getitdigital (99.6% positive ratings): Canon EF-S 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6 IS for [shoplink 10581 ebay]$439.99 (click here)[/shoplink], that’s at least $130 less than usual.

The Canon 18-200mm IS Lens is a compact, lightweight and wide magnification range lens. This zoom lens features a wide focal length range from normal to telephoto (equivalent to 29-320mm in the 35mm format) making it an ideal choice as a general-purpose zoom lens. It features an Optical Image Stabilizer for up to 4-stops of effective correction even at full zoom. And the circular aperture can give beautiful background blur effects.

Key Features
Image Stabilizer – 4 stop Image Stabilizer (IS) extends low light options to previously unavailable levels. Photographers normally shooting handheld at 1/250 sec can switch on IS to obtain a similarly steady and blur-free result with a shutter speed of just 1/15 second.
Superior Image Quality – Two UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) elements and several aspherical elements are used to suppress the effects of secondary chromatic aberrations, to obtain crisp, sharp, high-contrast images without fringing throughout the zoom range.
Super Spectra Coatings – Optimized Super Spectra lens coatings and lens element shaping, suppress flare and ghosting – more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection of the image sensor. Coatings also help achieve true color balance and increase contrast for vivid hi-fidelity images.

A new rumor, reported by Canon Rumors, states that Canon will announce a new Cinema camera and new Cinema Lenses at NAB 2013 (April 6-11) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The new Cinema camera is a model that will fit between the Canon C100 (B&H | Adorama) and Canon C300 (B&H | Adorama), and is not thought to replace one of these cameras. The new camera will come with EF and PL mount. Moreover, a more professional Cinema camera, a model above the C500 (B&H | Adorama), may already exist as prototype and could also be shown at NAB 2013.

The rumored lenses are said to be a zoom and a prime lens, no specifications for the lenses but they could be less expensive versions of the actual Canon Cinema lenses.

April is the month when we expect Canon to release a much awaited firmware upgrade for the [shoplink 2431]Canon EOS 5D Mark III (price & specs)[/shoplink], and another firmware update for the EOS-1D C (B&H | Adorama) that will bring 25fps at 4k recording.
