DigitalRev Already Has Canon EOS 70D Section (though no pics or specs)

Online retailer DigitalRev already has a Canon EOS 70D section in their menu (see pic above). The link is active and leads to an empty page (see pic below). The main specs of the EOS 70D have leaked a few days ago. The announcement of the Canon EOS 70D is expected for July 2nd. The specs are:

  • 20.2mp CMOS Sensor
  • DIGIC 5+
  • 19pt AF System (All Cross Type)
  • 7fps
  • Built-in WiFi
  • 3″ Vari-Angle Touch Screen LCD
  • ISO 12,800 Maximum
  • Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus
  • Full HD Video
  • HDR
  • Multiexposure Mode
  • LP-E6 Battery

Canon EOS 70D Dual Pixel Auto-Focus Specs Leaked

Digicame-info posted some information about the new Dual Pixel auto-focus featured on the upcoming EOS 70D. The text is machine translated, so use your interpretation skills:

  • Is used as a phase difference detection element is divided into two each photodiode sensor on Dual Pixel CMOS AF.
  • Possible to focus only on the image plane phase difference AF.
  • It is one pixel in the sum of both for the two split normally. Phase difference detection is possible over the entire surface on the hardware because it is the same structure as full, but the periphery truncate the frame-like reliability of the information because the fall large influence of aberrations of the lens.
  • Are not used for the time being in Kiss series computational load is large, because of the high cost still.
  • I do not extend to the phase difference AF traditional, but it supposed to be a farewell to the live view slow in terms of speed.
  • There is also a mode similar to the hybrid CMOS AF used in combination with contrast AF lens for the old.

Digicame-info (translated) reports a rumor from a trusted source that suggests the announcement of the Canon EOS 70D may be a matter of a few days. The EOS 70D should be available as a kit with the EF-S18-55mm IS STM or the with EF-S18-135mm IS STM lens. The battery grip for the EOS 70D will be the BG-E14.

This seems to fit with another rumor saying that Canon is preparing a big press event short. Another rumor reported here on Canon Watch a few hours ago shows the landing page of Canon France with two new and somewhat weird camera categories: “Compacts 24×36” and “APS Compacts”. These categories suggest Canon may be working on a full-frame compact camera (like the Sony RX1) and on more APS-C featured compact (system) cameras.

Fact is, the Canon EOS 60D has never had such a low price tag as these days, Buydig on eBay (138558 ratings, 99.5% positive, Canon Authorized Dealer) sells the Canon EOS 60D body only for just
