Canon EOS 100D Specs Leak Out

March 17, 2013 By Eric Reagan

Canon EOS-b EOS 100D

It appears that the upcoming EOS-b, Canon EOS 100D (or whatever it will be called) specs have leaked out via Best Buy’s website. These appear to be legit – although the official camera name may not be listed yet and you can expect this to be pulled soon…

Previous indications of a “smaller DSLR” appear to be legit with the camer weighing a full 5 ounces less than the Canon Rebel T4i and measures 3.6″ (height) x 4.6″ (width) x 2.7″ (depth).

Best Buy EOS 100D or EOS-b

The new EOS model should carry a retail price of $799 with a EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens, which further confirms the EF-S mount and that this is NOT the follow-up to the EOS M.

  • 18MP APS-C sensor
  • 1080p HD video capture
  • DIGIC 5 Processor
  • 4fps image capture
  • EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens
  • 3″ LCD 1.04M-dot resolution touch screen
  • Optical viewfinder w/ 95% coverage and 0.87x magnification
  • 9-point AF system (dual-cross f/2.8 center point)
  • Face-detect AF
  • Movie Servo AF (lets hope this beats the EOS M and T4i video AF…)
  • SDXC card slot
  • 30s-1/4000s shutter speeds
  • Built-in flash
  • External hot shoe
  • ISO 100-25,600
  • LP-E12 battery (same as EOS-M)

Here’s the long version of the “product features” with the marketing speak.

    I find myself incredibly uninterested. I would like a smaller/handier P&S than the T2i I currently use as my P&S. But the price will have to come WAY down (I got the T2i for about $195 rerburbished from Canon) before I’d even look at it. & if its too small, I’ll probably stay with a rebel for my knock around camera. Why go really small (thinking SX500 size?) if you still use regular sized crop sensor lens?

    Any reason to get this over 600D or 500/500D’s? If you want a small camera with DSLR quality and interchangeable lens you go for EOS M, don’t you? Just another camera for those girls on facebook to take pictures of themselves in front of mirror. IMO.

      Except the EOS M is a hot mess. AF is frighteningly poor, and lens selection is meh unless you buy the adapter and the. You might as well just get this thing.
