Canon EOS M Started Shipping In Japan (and possibly in other Asian countries too)

Canon started delivering its mirrorless camera, the [shoplink 6091]EOS M (click here for specs)[/shoplink], in Japan (Source: Canon and Amazon Japan). It will ship in the US starting by October 15th (according to BHphoto, click here). The EOS M is a great little camera, and we have yet to see if Canon does not care about a more pro-oriented version (possibly with a viewfinder).

This doesn’t come totally as a surprise (but thanks to the anonymous reader who notified me), there were hints that Canon would extend once more the rebates program started in August. Discounts on selected lenses and Speedlites have been extended until October 27th.

 

[Rumor] EOS 5D Mark II May See A Substantial Price Drop Next Week (down to $1699)

Not the usual rumor about specs and features, but about an upcoming concrete price drop for the [shoplink 254]EOS 5D Mark II[/shoplink]. Quoting Canon Rumors, the 5D2 could go down to $1699:

I’ve been told by a couple of people that the Canon EOS 5D Mark II will see a big price drop this coming week in the USA, we should see it in other countries as well. We’re told the new price will be $1699 USD for the body until they’re all gone, which won’t take too long I don’t think.
