Rumor: Canon Lenses That May Be Announced In 2013 (and no EOS 70D On March 22)

The EF 100-400mm, introduced in 1998

I got some tidbits about lenses that Canon may announce in the next months, or at least before end of 2013. This comes from a new source, so take everything with a grain of salt (some things look a bit weird to me). The same source also stated that some of the lenses listed below could be announced on Friday March 22nd, though I am pretty sure that Canon will not announce any lens next Friday. Finally, the source said there will not be an EOS 70D announcement. The EOS 70D is said to be announced later on, but before Summer 2013. Some of the lenses already showed up in previous rumors.

Rumored lenses:

  • EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS II
  • EF 14-24mm f/2.8L
  • EF 35mm f/1.2L II
  • EF 135mm f/2L II
  • EF 19mm f/2.8L

 

Rumor: Full List Of Next Canon Product Announcements (Friday March 22)

We got a series of rumors and leaks (here, here, here) during the last day. And now we have what most probably is the complete list of what Canon is going to announce next Friday (March 22nd):

The following is a list of Canon's new product will be announced in Korea:

– PowerShot SX280 HS

– PowerShot SX270 HS

– PowerShot A2500 (in certain overseas previously announced)

– (In Japan previously announced) IXUS 255 HS

– EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM

– EOS 700D 18-55 STM KIT (in Japan Kiss X7i)

– EOS 700D 18-135 STM KIT (in Japan Kiss X7i)

– EOS 100D 18-55 STM KIT (in Japan Kiss X7)

– EOS 100D (in Japan Kiss X7)

As you can see, the name of the new extra-small Canon DSLR should be EOS 100D (and not EOS-b). Funny that they used a 3 digit name and not a 4 digit name, typical for the most entry level Canon DSLRs.

Rumor: Canon PowerShot SX280 HS Set To Be Announced This Week

While we are eagerly waiting to see which surprises Canon is going to unveil on March 21/22, a new rumor showed up. It says that Canon will announce a new PowerShot camera, a model named PowerShot 280 HS. Some specs have also leaked:

  • 20x zoom
  • Built-in WiFi
  • Full HD
  • Digic 6 image processor

The most interesting part of the short spec kist above is the mention of a new Digig 6 CPU. Could be a typo, or simply a mistake.
