New Canon EOS 1 Series Model Due in 2014

By

Canon EOS 1S

New rumors of an upcoming Canon EOS 1 series model suggest that the camera will be announced around the same time as a Nikon D4X in 2014. The significance of this is so that Canon can avoid the debacle it encountered with the 1D X launch.

Recall, that the 1D X was announced in October 2011, but didn’t become available until summer 2012. Meanwhile, Nikon announced the D4 in January 2012 and started shipping units just a couple months later. [Read more…]

After a bit of a tease, Canon has released a white color variation of the EOS Kiss X7 (aka Rebel SL1 & 100D) in Japan only. All of the features appear to be the same other than the color. The white Kiss X7 is available with a standard 18-55mm IS STM kit lens or a matching white EF 40mm f/2.8 STM kit lens.

By

Canon 7D Mark II

Another update on the oft-rumored Canon 7D Mark II points to a release date sometime in the first half of 2014. Previous rumors pointed to a second quarter announcement for the camera, so this latest update remains consistent.

A couple of key new pieces of info point to a price point around $2000 and its positioning as a pro APS-C camera. Additionally, the 7D Mark II is rumored to feature a variation of a new AF system from an unannounced EOS 1 Series camera.

See the below list of previously rumored specs. [Read more…]

Canon EOS M2 Coming Early 2014?

By

Canon EOS M-5

Rumors for the Canon EOS M successor continue to build for an early 2014 launch. Previously, the camera(s) was rumored to feature the 70D‘s 20.2MP APS-C sensor and the excellent Dual Pixel AF functionality.

It’s no real surprise to hear more on the EOS M2 since it has already showed up in Canon’s own DPP software. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the EOS M2 in early January at CES 2014.

Canon’s New Teaser is a White KISS

By

Canon White Kiss

That teaser we saw from Canon Korea last week looks to be a white KISS model, which is known to be the Rebel line in the US. In all likelihood, we are going to see a white Canon Rebel SL1 or T5i released instead of an all new DSLR. Additionally, this may be just an Asia thing and the US and rest of the world may not see the new version of the camera at all.

Check out the teaser video below. [Read more…]
