Update: it’s a 150-600mm
It is a recent rumor that Tamron will soon release a new lens, said to be a 150-500mm f/5-6.3 VC. The announcement is expected for tomorrow, Thursday November 7.
CR posted what appears to be a picture of the lens. The Tamron has a new optical formula and will replace the Tamron 200-500mm f/5-6.3.
Tamron will soon announce a new lens, candidate date is November 7th.
Rumors have word that it will be a replacement for the current Tamron 200-500mm f/5-6.3, but that it will have more range, possibly 150-500mm, and feature image stabilization technology (VC=Vibration Compensation). Tamron will just announce the development of the lens, pricing and availability will be known in Q4 2014.

A new rumour concerning the next top pro “1” series Canon DSLR. We are talking about a still camera this time.
NL had word that a new top 1-series body could be announced in Q2 of 2014. A price reduction of the [shoplink 4119]EOS-1D X[/shoplink] before the announcement of the new body can be expected. The new DSLR most probably will not ship before end of 2014.
No specs unfortunately.
Most recent rumours suggest that Canon won’t announce anything EOS-related during the last months of 2013, at least not for the DSLR line-up. However, something may be in preparation. The EOS M2 is rumoured as a candidate for an announcement.
CR reports that “a major retailer” is going to show off new gear, the presentation appears to be scheduled for the third week of November, and Canon seems to be involved. The suspect of the case is the successor of the [shoplink 6091]Canon EOS M[/shoplink], for the time being usually named EOS M2.
An announcement of the EOS M2 so short before X-Mas appears not to be the best marketing strategy, unless Canon can ship from day one and starts a phenomenal marketing campaign to get ready for the X-Mas sales.
We got word (thanks) that Canon could soon (by October 31st) release a new firmware update for the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. The update should mainly address an issue with the SpeedLite 600EX-RT not firing several times when you use manual setings and IR on. The update will be available here.
Stay tuned.
Fake EOS 7D Mark II (mock-up)
We got a first candidate date (thanks) for the announcement of the Canon EOS 7D Mark II, and some specs confirmation too. According to our source Canon is set to announce the successor of the [shoplink 337]EOS 7D[/shoplink] in March 2014. We didn’t get an exact date, but according to our source it should happen somewhen in the mid of March.
No concrete news about the specs. Rumors still suggest Canon is prototyping two different sensor (though both will have Dual Pixel AF), a 20MP and a 24MP sensor. Which one will do it into the 7D Mark II is still uncertain. However, all rumours suggest the 7D Mark II will not have the same sensor as the [shoplink 14246]Canon EOS 70D[/shoplink]. That looks a bit weird to me. If the 7D Mark II gets a 20MP sensor I can hardly figure out why and how it should be a different sensor than the one featured on the 70D. Maybe different aliasing filters or other very small differences in the engineering of the sensor.
For the time being the following sill is the most credited specification list:
That’s all for now. Have a great day.
