Rumor has it that the next Canon Rebel (EOS 750D in Europe) will come to market with two different models, the 750D and the 760D.
Canon Rumors posted a spec list:
A spec list that sounds to good for a Rebel/EOS xxxD camera. And a 24MP sensor is listed. That would mean the next Rebel gets a new sensor tech (at least resolution-wise), instead of the current 20MP sensor featured on the EOS 70D and [shoplink 22664]EOS 7D Mark II[/shoplink]. Unusual to introduce a new sensor on an entry-level camera. No US naming scheme is mentioned. To some degree, the possible split in two different models reminds me of a rumor I posted a few weeks ago, suggesting Canon will release a new DSLR between the EOS 750D and the [shoplink 14246]EOS 70D[/shoplink].
Interestingly enough, the (supposedly) higher model of the two, the 760D, has a rear control dial. We saw such a controller on a so far undisclosed DSLR that leaked a few weeks ago in some Connect Station CS100 promotion material. See the pic below.
Is this the EOS 760D?
CR themselves rate the rumor very low, and I agree. The spec list looks more like a wish-list. However, the possible split in two variants of the next Rebel is in some way related to the rumor of a DSLR positioned between the 750D and the 70D.

ephotozine reviewed Canon’s new 400mm f/4 DO IS II lens, announced last September for Photokina.
From the conclusion:
Despite the price, this lens certainly makes an interesting prospect for those who find the size and weight of a traditional 400mm prime simply too much to be carrying around. The relatively compact dimensions make this lens fairly easy to hand-hold, especially when compared to this lens’ larger and slightly more expensive f/2.8 brother.
Due to its exemplary performance, you’d be hard pushed to not be pleased with this lens. Even though it is expensive, it’s probably worth saving for.
The Canon 400mm f/4 DO IS II lens is not a budget lens. It sells for around $7000 (B&H Photo | Adorama).

A few weeks ago we learned that Canon Hong Kong dropped the price of the EOS-1D C by $1000, but just in Hong Kong. Now, according to Canon Rumors, such a price drop could also come to the USA. They write:
We’re told that something on pricing will happen on February 1, 2015 in the United States, there was no word from elsewhere around the globe. We weren’t told what the drop in price would be, but to “hold off buying a 1D-C until at least February 1, 2015″.
Actually the EOS-1D C sells for $12,000 at Adorama | B&H Photo.
