Canon Rumor: New Canon SpeedLites Coming in 2013 (and new Yongnuo flashes too)

Canon SpeedLites

Two new Canon flashes rumored to be announced before end of 2013. One could be the replacement for the Canon Speedlite 430EXII, the other one a new flash for the EOS M system (source: CR)

Not a rumor but it fits well in this post. Yongnuo announced the YN510EX flash, compatible off camera only with Canon’s E-TTL flash systems. Yongnuo makes inexpensive yet effective flash systems for Canon DSLR (among other brands). The Yongnuo YN510EX could cost somewhat between $75 and $125 (source: lightingrumours via slrlounge).

At least that is what both Amazon France and Amazon Germany write on their EOS 70D product page. The EOS 70D was said to be released by the end of August 2013, but maybe that’s true just for the US and in Europe we have to wait somewhat longer. Thanks to reader Thierry for pointing me to this.

Not To Be Sold In The USA: Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens

 EF-M 11-22mm

Thanks Adam. According to the moderator of the Canon USA forum, the EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens will not ship and be sold in the US:

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens. We can certainly understand the confusion surrounding this release! Unfortunately, this specific lens will not be sold or serviced by Canon USA.

Why that? DigitalRev (price depends by check-out location) ships international.

Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens in Stock at Amazon Germany

 EF-M 11-22mm

Amazon Germany has the new Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens for the EOS M system in stock and ready to ship for €399 (click here). I am puzzled by the fact that Amazon US still is not even offering a pre-order option. And why the hell does the lens cost €50 more in France than in Germany? Looks like the EF-M 11-22mm will start to ship in Europe first. Other seller that accept pre-order, or may have the EF-M 11-22mm in stock and ready to ship:
