Canon 60D Revealed?

By

Is this the new Canon 60D?  It sure seems like a good candidate.  It also comports with previous rumors that suggested a tilting LCD – although this camera appears to have a vari-angle (i.e., tilt/swivel LCD) that flips out from the body.  This would add more credence to the rumored “optimized for video” design that we’ve previously heard about.  Although the aging 50D is definitely due for a replacement, I’m anxious to see the final specs and how/if the 60D will cannibalize the sales of the Canon 7D.

Fire away with your thoughts in the comments below.

More Rumored Canon 60D Specs

By

More Canon 60D specs have trickled out of the rumor mill.  Canon Rumors received a tip regarding a closed-doors presentation of a pre-production 60D, which included an 18MP sensor (as found in the Canon 7D and Rebel T2i), a tilt display on the rear, and an overall “video optimized” theme to the new DSLR.

Of course, there’s no hard confirmation, but CR says that this source(s) has produced reliable info in the past.  Hopefully, we’ll know more soon.

Canon 1Ds Mark IV Rumored to Be in Field Testing

By

National Geographic freelancer Steven Alvarez mentioned on his blog that he’s heard reports Canon has been field testing some 1Ds Mark IV cameras.  Nothing specific though.  So, just consider this a public service announcement.

Perhaps we’ll see a 1Ds Mark IV by Photokina 2010 to replace the aging Canon 1Ds Mark III, which has hit the bargain basement price of about $6100.

Canon 60D Nearing Launch, Confirmed by DxO?

DXO 60D

Rumors of a Canon 60D situated in the EOS lineup below the 7D have been stirring in recent months.  However, what appears to be an unintentional leak at DxO adds significantly more weight to those rumors.

While I would expect this page to be updated soon to remove the 60D references, DxO has its “roadmap” for DxO Optics Modules slating the 60D and a number of lenses on schedule for support in November/December 2010.

That would be about right for a camera released in August/September of this year.

Look for lots more on the Canon 60D as we approach Photokina 2010.

Canon VIXIA HF S21 Camcorder Review

By

The Canon VIXIA HF-S21 is a compact camcorder that captures Full HD 1920 x 1080 in AVCHD format with a number of frame rate options.   The Canon VIXIA HF-S21 is larger than entry-level camcorders like the Sony HDR-CX350V; however, it’s not so big to prevent you from toting it on family outings or other casual endeavors.
