Canon may announce an image-stabilised (IS) version of the EF 135mm f/2L (price & specs), the Canon EF 135mm f/2L IS, a new rumor suggests.

The announcement is said to occur in the first half of 2018. CP+ 2018, happening in March 2018 is possible stage to display the EF 135mm f/2L IS.

Some time ago, two unreleased Canon lenses have been spotted at a certification authority. There is a chance one of these lenses is the EF 135mm f/2L IS, albeit it’s a very small one.

Canon EOS C300 Mark III undergoing tests in Japan and New Zealand (and a few new specs) [Cw2]

A few days ago we were tipped that the Canon EOS C300 Mark III might be around the corner.

A few more bits get added. The source suggests the Canon EOS C300 Mark III is undergoing tests by select photographers in Japan and New Zealand. Adding the new bits to those we had, we get this list (new bits in emphasis):

  • new 6K sensor (though 4k video only
  • up to 120 fps in 4K, internal + external Raw
  • new developed on-sensor image stabilization
  • price tag above current C300 Mark II (will not be discontinued)
  • 4K internal
  • 6K raw
  • greater dynamic range than the EOS C300 Mark II
  • price over $20,000

I still rate it CW2 until I get some more intel. Stay tuned.

No Canon EOS 90D coming in 2018? [CW2]

We got a Canon EOS 90D rumor (thanks).

Unfortunately, we did not get hints about the specifications. The source suggests Canon might not announce the replacement for the Canon EOS 80D in 2018. The Canon 90D will be a 2019 affair, apparently.

This contrasts with another early EOS 90D rumor, which surfaced back in July 2017 and was suggesting a 2018 announcement. However, I had a quick look at Wikipedia to check when the previous models of the EOS xxD series have been announced. Let’s have a look before going on.

  • Canon EOS 40D – August 2007
  • Canon EOS 50D – October 2008
  • Canon EOS 60D – August 2010
  • Canon EOS 70D – July 2013
  • Canon EOS 80D – February 2016

As you can see, intervals between an EOS xxD model and its replacement were getting longer with recent models. It was two year between the EOS 50D and the EOS 60D, and it’s three years since the EOS 60D, before the EOS 70D and EOS 80D were announced. A three years interval before we see the EOS 90D fits in this pattern. I rate it CW2 because it comes from a new source (albeit with good points).

We can only guess what the EOS 90D will have on board. We got hints for a 28MP sensor on the EOS 7D Mark III. Maybe the same sensor is going to be featured also on the EOS 90D.

Stay tuned.

A rumor from a new source (thanks), which reach also other places. It’s suggested Canon may soon announce the Canon EOS C300 Mark III, possibly before NAB 2018.

These specifications are rumored:

  • new 6K sensor (though 4k video only
  • up to 120 fps in 4K, internal + external Raw
  • new developed on-sensor image stabilization
  • price tag above current C300 Mark II (will not be discontinued)

Stay tuned.

Canon EOS 7D Mark III set to be announced in March 2018?

 

canon rumorscanon rumors

Latest rumor about the Canon EOS 7D Mark III has it that a March 2018 announcement is set for Canon’s next top APS-C DSLR.

A March 2018 announcement, though a bit early imo, is plausible. In April 2018 there is NAB show, which would be a nice stage to display the EOS 7D Mark III.

Moreover, the EOS 7D Mark III is said to feature 4K video (which we leaked first back in September). C-Log might also be on board.

Finally, what about sensor resolution? A few month ago we got word it ,may be a sensor with around 28MP resolution. The new rumor quotes a “first time sensor technology in a Canon DSLR”., which sound very much like a buzz word to me, and is something we hear very often when new Canon DSLRs are rumored. Each new Canon DSLR generation has in some way a new sensor technology.

What do you think, will we see the EOS 7D Mark III in March 2018?

More Canon cameras to be announced soon (EOS 3000D and EOS 4000D)

Canon Rumors

The EOS M50 and the EOS 2000D aren’t the only new and upcoming Canon DSLRs. Two more DSLRs have been registered at the Eurasian Economic Commission.

Canon will soon announced the EOS 3000D (registration document) and the EOS 4000D (registration document). Both DSLRs will be available as body only option, and as kit with EF-S 18-55mm IS II and EF-S 18-55mm DC III lenses.

When will all this new gear be announced? We are pretty sure January (CES 2018) or February (CP+ 2018) 2018 are the months when Canon will announce the EOS M50, EOS 2000D, EOS 3000D, EOS 4000D to the general public.

Btw, what is Canon doing with all these 4-digit, entry-level DSLRs? Isn’t it a bit too much to offer so many entry-level DSLRs?
