Latest Canon EF-S Lenses And EOS 7D Mark II Rumors

Canon Rumors reports that Canon

has plans to introduce new EF-S lenses in the first couple of quarters of 2013. There will be a new push on the crop segment of the EOS lineup and new lenses are going to be a part of that revival. A few lenses are mentioned as highly probable and will appear alongside a new “pro” APS-C camera, currently expected to be the EOS 7D Mark II.

The rumored lenses are:

Moreover, delays in lens production are named, caused by new manufacturing technologies introduced by Canon in their factories.

Finally, the EOS 7D Mark II rumor got another mention, and the Rebel T3/EOS 1100D and the EOS 60D are said to get discontinued (see the rumor we posted a few weeks ago) with no imminent replacement planed.

Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM Review

 

This is a lens that will probably not appeal to professionals, and I guess a lot of people thinks a lens like the Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM is not good enough for their last generation DSRL bodies (not true indeed, and we all know that it’s the photographer who makes the picture, not the gear). Nevertheless, this is a perfect travel lens. Light weighted (490g/17.3oz), with an 11.1x zoom range (18-200mm, on an APC-S sensor equivalent to 28-320mm), image stabilization, decent build quality, and fair performance. It has an HSM motor driving the zoom. Consider that this lens has a street price of $399 and you have the perfect travel lens. More after the break.
