After some teasing (somewhat new for Canon) the “white Kiss” is finally here. Canon announced that the white Kiss X7/Rebel SL1/EOS 100D will be available in Japan starting November 28th. No spec updates or changes, just a white body and a white Ef 40mm f/2.8 lens. Canon Japan has a dedicated page (translated).
1. Ability to move the magnification viewing area around the LCD using the MAGN Function has been added.
2. ISO up to 80,000 has been added.

According to digicame-info (translated) it will be a white version of the Rebel SL1 (EOS 100D in EU, Kiss X7 in Japan). The fancy news: there will be a white version of the EF 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens (makes sense). The specs (machine translated):
Painted white high quality with reduced gloss.
Specs are the same as the current Kiss X7 [Rebel Sl1/EOS 100D].
Kit lens EF40mm F2.8 STM and F3.5-5.6 IS STM EF-S18-55mm.
F2.8 STM EF40mm to become the white of the same color and body.
No new Rebel before X-Mas, but an X-Mas-white Rebel instead. :-)
This concerns photographers form Germany and France.
You can win an EOS 6D by participating to a photo competition backed by Canon Professional Network. Entries from photographers in Germany and France are selected by iStockphoto, a royalty-free online photo resource. Julia Holmes, PR Manager of iStockphoto, says:
The iStock competition is a fun and engaging initiative calling photographers to upload submissions according to the country themes. The event is exclusively sponsored by Canon with select media partners in both countries. The competition is aimed at both professionals and amateurs with a microstock focus, and some of the submissions will go into the iStock catalogue upon discussions between photographer and iStock.
Not big news to be honest, just another confirmation that the EOS 7D Mark II is set to be announced around Summer 2014, or “in the first half” of 2014. The 7D II is said to be a “pro-oriented” APS-C DSLR – that’s quite straightforward since the EOS 70D covers most (if not all) aspects a semi-pro or enthusiasts photog needs. The new sensor we reported gets also confirmed. According to my sources Canon is prototyping two kinds of sensors, a 20MP and a 24MP, both will have Dual Pixel AF. The only real news is this: the EOS 7D Mark II could feature a new variation of auto-focus system, an AF system it will share with an upcoming, new EOS-1 body. Finally. the EOS 7D Mark II is said to come with WiFi, GPS and the largest LCD screen seen so far on a Canon DSLR.
