Update (and an EOS 70D?) What’s That?? A Canon EOS 8D?

EOS 8D

UPDATE (thanks nnn): the same Russian page lists also the EOS 70D, body only and two kits. See image below. Placeholder is the EOS 60D.

Russian site fotoplus.su (translated) posted an offer for a Canon EOS 8D. The picture, however, is of an EOS 7D. The mighty EOS 8D is offered both as body only option and as a kit. The lens suggests an APS-C sensor. Someone knows somewhat?

Digicame-info (translated) reports a rumor from a trusted source that suggests the announcement of the Canon EOS 70D may be a matter of a few days. The EOS 70D should be available as a kit with the EF-S18-55mm IS STM or the with EF-S18-135mm IS STM lens. The battery grip for the EOS 70D will be the BG-E14.

This seems to fit with another rumor saying that Canon is preparing a big press event short. Another rumor reported here on Canon Watch a few hours ago shows the landing page of Canon France with two new and somewhat weird camera categories: “Compacts 24×36” and “APS Compacts”. These categories suggest Canon may be working on a full-frame compact camera (like the Sony RX1) and on more APS-C featured compact (system) cameras.

Fact is, the Canon EOS 60D has never had such a low price tag as these days, Buydig on eBay (138558 ratings, 99.5% positive, Canon Authorized Dealer) sells the Canon EOS 60D body only for just

Slight correction of the latest Canon EOS 70D rumor. It appears that the July announcement regards a brand new AF technology that Canon has developed. The new AF tech will first be featured on the Canon EOS 70D which is said to be announced immediately after the announcement of the AF technology.

Very interesting news, though there are no more tidbits about what makes up the new AF technology.

For the time being we are stuck with the EOS 70D spec list we posted back in April:

  • 18mp Sensor (Same as SL1)
  • DIGIC V
  • 6.5fps
  • SD Card
  • Wifi
  • GPS
  • 3.2″ Touchscreen LCD (No mention of swivel)
  • Magnesium Alloy Construction
  • Weather-sealed
  • Slightly larger than the EOS 60D
  • $1199 USD Body Only

It appears that we are definitely close to the announcement of the EOS 70D. Excited?

That’s what the latest Canon EOS 70D rumor suggests. The successor of the Canon EOS 60D (price & specs) could be announced in July 2013. For the time being the EOS 70D is undergoing final tests by some selected Canon Explorers of Light. Commercials are also said to be produced in different spots on this planet of ours.

Another Canon EOS 70D rumor surfaced and is reported at Northlight Images. No specs this time but some tidbits about the announcement. They have been told that the announcement of the EOS 70D is “some 6 weeks away”. It appears as if some of the expected Canon announcement may have been delayed due to technical and marketing reasons.

The Canon EOS 70D announcement is a sort of mistery. No real leaks so far and repeatedly wrong announcement dates. Where the hence is the EOS 60D price & specs)replacement?

Will The Canon EOS 70D Be Announced On April 23?

EOS 70D

Latest EOS 70D rumors suggest an announcement on April 23 for the successor of the highly popular Canon EOS 60D  (price & specs).

It appears that Canon sent out invites for a press event on April 23, though there is nothing official yet. The only additional information we have is that the new sensor featured on the Canon Rebel SL1/EOS 100D could be featured also on the Canon EOS 70D. An announcement at the end of April is plausible.
