Since theAperture Academy blogmade its post about the Canon 200-400mm and 600mm prototype lens and a mysterious Canon body, there has been a lot of speculation about what this body could be. The 5D Mark III, the 7D Mark II, or maybe a totally new camera that Canon has developed? Canon 5D X, Canon 6D, and so on. Let your imagination run freely.
Let’s have a look at the mostrevealing of the pictures published on theAA blog. The person using the equipment is supposed to be a Canon employee doing some field-testing of the lens prototypes, and of the apparently totally new camera body.
A new kid on the block?
We have some considerations.
It’s clearly a body of the size of a 5D or 7D with an attached battery grip and there is no build-in flash.
The battery grip seems to have a joystick.
The display looks like it has a 16:9 format
Stephen Oachs, the author of the post, writes: «I see the “Q” button located by the big wheel on the right, which on the 7D is currently located on the top left». In other words, there is one thing that can be assumed to be true: this is a Canon body we have not seen before.
Rumor. A Japanese blog published this Canon EOS 5D MarkIII promotional video.
The new 5D MIII will have a 28.1 MP CMOS sensor, a DIGIC 5 processor, continuous shooting at 8.2 fps, 45 cross-type AF points, an ISO 50-12800 and it will come this fall (September, Photokina?…).

Plenty of news this summer!
Sony has just released his new NEX-C3 and 30mm macro lens, Panasonic GF3 (16MPX) on June 13, Olympus E-P3 on June 30, Sony NEX-7 (24MPX) and the more expected news will arrive on August/September: Panasonic PRO GF camera and Pentax Q (12 MPX APS-C).
New market strategies are setting: the pro-band is shrinking, most of the companies are working on the middle level and the winning solutions are a great bet for everyone..
However… the most interesting things will come definitely on August-September.
We don’t know enough about Panasonic, but at the moment the interchangeable lens camera Pentax Q is the most skilled competitor.
Based on the Photo Rumors information, those are the specs:
• 12MP backlit sensor
• HD movie recording (720p)
• RAW capabilities
• Available in tow color: black and white
• Vary small and compact in size
• Price around 700 EUR
• Several lenses will be announced including a fisheye lens.
A very Competitive price and, therefore, a great challenge for Canon!
We’ll see…
Let see the price of Canon 7D: [shopcountry 337]

A rumor about Canon 70D coming from Northlight Images says: “We’ve had a comment that the 70D (and next year’s 650D) is likely to stay at 18MP, with improvements coming from updated AF and other features (video, image processing) resulting from it’s use of Digic5. This was to allow a 2012 release, but not hit the 7D/7Dmk2 too much.”
We’ll see, but at the moment, we must be satisfied with chat: they are also talking around the exit of the 5D3 for early next year and the 1Ds3 replacement for August.
Just yesterday Fujio Mitarai chairman of Canon told that they forecast to return to normal by the end of June.
We hope so and the release date ( June 2) of the new Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G lens makes us think that soon there will be some output from Canon too.
Even Nikon with Canon has been badly damaged by the earthquake and this output appears to be a good sign of restart for both.
