Additional rumored specs include: [Read more…]
Detailed specs for the 20MP Canon 6D full frame DSLR have leaked. Note that these specs provide for a 1/8000s max shutter speed, which is different from prior specs rumors that referenced 1/4000s max shutter speed.
The camera should be announced in the next few hours with a retail price of $2099, so we should know for certain in a little while.
Check out the full specs below. [Read more…]
New rumors suggest we might see a Canon EOS 6D announced soon as an affordable full frame DSLR. [Read more…]
Northlight Images has word that Canon may be introducing an updated version of the EF 400mm f/5.6L lens prior to Photokina 2012. This lens has been around for quite a while and it is relatively affordable for an L-series telephoto lens. It will be interesting to see whether Canon puts an Image Stabilization system in the new version if the rumors are true and just how much the price will rise over the current version.
Back in July, we learned that the new Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II was being pushed back to September. Well, it’s September now and Canon Rumors has word that retailers have started to receive their stock of the new lens. The lenses are expected to be in retailers in North America and Europe by September 13.
The new lens was announced by Canon back in February 2012 and was slated for availability in April 2012. The lens is expected to be widely available by October after pre-orders are filled.

Canon Rumors is reporting that it is a lock that Canon will unveil new imagePROGRAF large format printers just prior to Photokina 2012 on September 12. Moreover, the new printers should feature tech borrowed from Canon’s recent PIXMA Pro-1 printer.
Rumors of a high megapixel DSLR from Canon have really been heating up since the 1D X launched with “only” 18.1MP. The rumors persisted after the 5D Mark III rolled in at roughly the same resolution as its predecessor.
Now comes a spec list from Canon Rumors for a Canon EOS 3D rumored to weigh in at a whopping 46MP . . . that’s 10MP more than the current resolution king – the Nikon D800.
Even though I used to joke about cameras with resolution at 40MP, Canon has plenty more room to work with on a full frame image sensor given that it developed a 120MP APS-H sensor more than two years ago. And we just thought the megapixel wars were over . . . .
Who would pick up a 46MP Canon DSLR? What price would you be willing to pay for this camera?
The latest rumors for the Canon 7D Mark II suggest a 24MP sensor. There’s no mention of sensor size though – with past rumors suggesting that a Canon 70D would fill the top APS-C spot in Canon’s lineup, while the 7D Mark II would become a low-end full frame camera.
The recent release of the Canon 7D firmware upgrade seems a bit at odds with such a release this fall; however, the original 7D is now 3 years old, which puts it in the range for a hardware update based on Canon’s history. [Read more…]
Canon SX160 IS
It looks like a pair of Canon’s new point and shoot models have found their way onto the web a little early. The Canon PowerShot SX160 IS looks to feature a 16MP sensor along with a 16x optical zoom lens. This should replace the current PowerShot SX150 IS, which sports a 14MP sensor, 12x zoom and 720p video. [Read more…]
The lastest rumors of Canon’s lower-priced full frame DSLR suggests a Canon EOS 6D badge and an October unveiling date. Additional rumors emphasize that the focus is on making the full frame camera not only more affordable but also a smaller overall package.
Previous rumors suggested this camera would essentially work out to be a full frame version of the Canon 7D with a 22MP CMOS sensor and a sub-$2000 price point.
All of these rumors appear to be leading up to yet another massive throwdown between Canon’s budget full frame shooter and the Nikon D600. Expect more coverage on the Canon 6D (or whatever it ends up being named) as we creep up on Photokina 2012 and PhotoPlus 2012.
