Images and specs of the upcoming Canon EOS M entry-level camera and the anticipated EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 lens leaked at Digicame Info. The exact moniker of the “baby EOS M” is still not known.
I have just been told that the announcement might happen on Friday October 9.

Specifications and images of the upcoming Canon Powershot G5 X and Powershot G9 X leaked at Digicame Info. The announcement is expected very soon, possibly a matter of a few days.
The Powershot G5 X looks pretty much like a small single lens DSLR, and it appears to have an EVF and the same lens as the Powershot G7 X. The Powershot G9 X appears to be a small model with a limited zoom, the G9 X is slightly smaller than the Powershot G7 X. There will also be a black verison of the Powershot G9 X.

Back in March we had a first hint that the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II might feature 4K video recording. The suggestion came from Mr. Masaya Maeda in an interview. The possibility of a 4K enabled EOS-1D X Mark II surfaced again in a fresh rumor. Despite being rumored to feature 4K, the EOS-1D X Mark II is said to be a mostly stills oriented cameras.

Zeiss will announce a new Zeiss Otus 28mm f/1.4 lens between October 12 and October 16. For the time being we do not have any specs, just an announcement date that’s very likely to be real. This will not be a budget lens. The Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 sells for around $4,400 and the Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 for almost $4,000. The new Zeiss Otus 28mm f/1.4 will likely have a similar price. Canon and Nikon mount versions are expected.
However, the new Sigma “Art” primes are so good that they can easily compete with Zeiss glass. Have a look how well the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens holds up against the Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4, with a price that’s a fourth of the Zeiss.

Another rumor about the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV announcement. It is already common knowledge that the EOS 5D Mark IV will be announced in Q1 of 2016. This rumor isn’t ading anything new, it’s speculating about the exact date of the announcement.
The latest EOS 5D Mark IV announcement murmurings suggest Canon will reveal the EOS 5D Mark IV replacement before NAB 2016. The rumor says nothing about how far in advance of NAB 2016 we will see the announcement.
My guess is March 2016. For two reasons. Announcing the EOS 5D Mark IV in March would allow Canon to have it on display for both NAB and WPPI (the latter oriented to wedding photographers). And Canon did the same with the EOS 5D Mark III, announced March 2012.
It’s easy to rate this rumor CW4. The Q1 announcement of the EOS 5D Mark IV, beside being rumored by various sources since months, is just very likely to happen in the indicated time frame also because of previous announcements of the EOS 5D series.
If March 2016 will be the EOS 5D Mark IV announcement date, then we should see first possible specs around November – December. Stay tuned…

After all those fake rumors, I was glad to hear news from one of my trusted sources. This source may be wrong but at least it is not intentionally delivering fake rumors.
I have been told (thanks) that the Canon EOS 80D will feature a 28MP sensor. The source mentioned also a “more advanced AF system” (compared to the EOS 70D). I am not sure what to think here. I do not believe the EOS 80D will get the same advanced AF system as the EOS 7D Mark II, but anything is possible. If I am not wrong, there was a rumor floating around the web a month or two ago that also suggested a high resolution for the EOS 80D.
The source also said that the EOS 80D will get some of the features of higher models. The 70D got the AF system of the EOS 7D, and it is usual practice by Canon to add features of higher models in a new mid-level camera. So what can we expect from the EOS 80D? Other rumors I got (by less reputable or unknown sources) suggest the EOS 80D will get the anti-flickering technology employed on the EOS 7D Mark II but I am somewhat sceptical about this feature being implemented on a mid-level DSLR like the EOS 80D. Dual Pixel AF will not get lost, that’s sure. It will likely have a new AF system but it is unclear how advanced it will be. In the past I got a suggestion the EOS 80D may have focus peaking on board (introduced with the EOS M3). That would be a powerful and very welcome addition to the next xxD model, though I do not think Canon will feature it on a DSLR. WiFi and NFC will also be on board, but no GPS. Another suggestion I got, says the EOS 80D will have something around 8fps (the 70D has 7fps), which is a plausible frame rate for this camera. Sure thing that the EOS 80D will have a tiltable display, one memory card slot, and no dual CPU (like 7D2). Please note that it may still be early to have reliable specs for the EOS 80D. Take anything with the usual salt.
The EOS 70D was announced in July 2013. Since the announcement of EOS 60D Canon released a new xxD model every three years. 2016 would be year of the EOS 80D. There have also been some suggestion about the announcement, nothing to take seriously. The EOS 80D will likely be announced in Summer 2016. However, given Canon recent and not foreseen announcements and technological innovations, I wouldn’t be too much surprised if the EOS 80D would be announced before the expected time-frame.
Stay tuned…
