This is the Canon EOS 2000D, images and specifications

Canon EOS 2000DImages and a first set of specifications of the upcoming Canon EOS 2000D leaked at Nokishita.

  • 24.1 million pixels APS-C
  • DIGIC 4+
  • Full HD video
  • 3.0 type liquid crystal
  • ISO: 100-6400
  • Wi-Fi installed
  • Size: 129.0 × 101.3 × 77.6 mm
  • Weight: 475 g

The EOS 2000D is clearly more upmarket than the also leaked EOS 4000D.

The Canon EOS 4000D and EOS 2000D are the monikers for the EU market. The new Canon DSLRs will respectively be named EOS 1500D and EOS 3000D in China (and likely in the rest of Asia). The reason for this is probably known only to Canon’s sophisticated market strategists. However, we thought there were three new entry level DSLRs coming but it turns out it’s two new DSLRs (most likely).

Announcement is expected for next week. Stay tuned.

Nokishita posted an exhaustive list of the specifications of the upcoming Canon EOS M50, and there are new images too.

The Canon EOS M50 appears to be a very decent mirrorless camera. Now let’s wait to know the price. But I dare to say already the EOS M50 will be a bestseller, especially if Canon eventually decides to deliver more and more serious EF-M lenses. Announcement expected for February 25/26, 2018.

Machine translated specifications:

  • 24.1 Megapixels APS-C CMOS
  • DIGIC 8
  • Dual pixel CMOS AF with greatly improved performance
    • AF area is enlarged by about 38% with corresponding lens (100% vertical × 88% wide in live view image display range)

  • Pupil detection AF

  • DLO in camera
  • RAW development in camera
  • Video: 4K 25p / 24p, FHD 60p, HD 120p

    • The C – RAW format is 40% smaller in file size than conventional RAW, and it corresponds to in – camera RAW development and digital lens optimizer
  • Battery: LP-E 12
  • Weight: 387 g black, 390 g white (including battery and memory card)
  • Color: Black / White

Does the EOS M50 have eye tracking AF? We think “pupil detection AF” is machine translation for “eye tracking AF”. What do you think?
