60 Million Canon Lenses
Thirteen months ago, Canon announced that there were 50 million Canon lenses floating around. Today, there are 60 million Canon lenses in the world.
Lucky number 60,000,000 was an EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM lens. Who wants to wager that Canon hits the 70 million mark by the end of 2011?

Canon Rebel T3i and Rebel T3 Announced
Canon has announced a pair of new entry-level DSLRs – the EOS Rebel T3i and EOS Rebel T3.
The Canon Rebel T3i features an 18MP CMOS sensor, a 3-inch vari-angle LCD (very similar to the 60D) and captures HD video in full 1920 x 1080 resolution at 24p, 25p, or 30p. A new feature for EOS cameras, the T3i allows users to magnify HD video between 3x to 10x while retaining Full HD quality. Additionally, you can opt to record video clips (dubbed “Video Snapshots”) at 2s, 4s, or 8s while capturing still images.
A big boost for the Rebel line is the T3i’s ability to control Canon Speedlites courtesy of a built-in Integrated Speedlite Transmitter. The Canon Rebel T3i should be available in March and retails for $799.99 for body only and for $899.99 with the new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II kit lens. Check availability on Amazon.com.
The Canon Rebel T3 becomes the entry-level Canon Rebel, and sports a 12.2MP CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 processor and 9-point AF system. The Rebel T3 can also capture video, albeit at a lower 720p resolution. The Canon Rebel T3 should be avialable in March at an initial retail price of $599.99. Check availability on Amazon.com.
In addition to the new Rebel models, Canon has also introduced two new entry-level Speedlites – the 320EX and 270EX II, priced at $249.99 and $169.99, respectively. The new Speedlites should be available in April.

Canon EF 500mm F/4L IS II USM and EF 600mm F/4L IS II USM Announced
Refreshed versions of Canon’s popular 500mm and 600mm super-telephoto lenses will be available, respectively, in May and June 2011.
The Canon EF 500mm F/4L IS II USM and EF 600mm F/4L IS II USM offer reduced weight and greater durability over their predecessors. The addition of two fluorite lens elements should also provide better image quality over the older lenses as well.
In addition to other features, the new lenses offer a feature aimed at HDSLR shooters, which Canon calls “Power Focus.” According to Canon, “This mode allows manual rack focusing to be operated smoothly by turning a playback ring that is normally used for the focus preset function. Both low-speed and high-speed focus shifting are available.”
All these improvements come at a price though.
The EF 500mm F/4L IS USM will retail for $9,499.00 (check availability at B&H Photo and Amazon), while the 600mm F/4L IS USM will retail for $11,999.00 (check availability at B&H Photo and Amazon).

Canon is in the process of developing a new 200-400mm f/4L IS lens that features a built-in 1.4x extender. With the built-in extender, the lens will have a maximum focal length of 560mm.
This is great news for Canon DSLR shooters who have been clamoring for a lens equivalent to the highly-regarded Nikon 200-400mm f/4 VR lens.
While Canon has not provided a release date or pricing info for the new lens, a prototype of it will be on display at CP+ in Japan this week.
Here’s a couple of photo of the new beast-of-a-lens:

Canon EOS 7DSV (Studio Version) Announced
Canon has announced the EOS 7DSV DSLR, which is being dubbed as the Studio Version of the popular EOS 7D. The new 7DSV features four levels of locking camera controls geared toward school and event photographers. These locking controls allows an administrator to set up the camera and prevent an operator from changing critical settings, such as in school and event portraits.
Additionally, the Canon 7DSV features the Canon Barcode Solution, which allows customer, organizational, patient or other data to be embedded into the EXIF data of each image. Ultimately, this barcode functionality should be a boon to large organization or event photographers looking for help on the backend of file organization and management.
The Canon 7DSV Studio Version kit includes a firmware modified version of the Canon WFT-E5A, which can be used in conjuntion with a barcode reader to manage image and customer data via a wired connection. However, it is possible to work wirelessly using the Canon BU-30 Bluetooth adapter. Existing WFT-E5A units can be modified by Canon to work with the 7DSV in this functionality.
The 7DSV kit with the WFT-E5A carries an initial retail price of $2599, while the 7DSV body alone is priced at $1829.
