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:

  • An EF-S zoom fisheye
  • A macro lens with IS
  • Replacement for the [shoplink 329]EF-S 10-22mm[/shoplink]
  • Replacement for the [shoplink 313]EF-S 18-200mm IS[/shoplink] that will have an STM focus motor and be longer at the telephoto end
  • Replacement for the [shoplink 325]EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS[/shoplink]

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 [shoplink 331]Rebel T3/EOS 1100D[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 335]EOS 60D[/shoplink] 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 [shoplink 5037]Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM[/shoplink] 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.
