It’s 1000 times what you’d expect from a better-than-high-end digital SLR photo camera. This impressive photo is made of 1,665 individual shots captured with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II photo camera armed with… Read More

After the launch events of this Summer and this Fall (before and during the Köln Photokina), there are two brands leaving important questions open. This is Sony and Nikon. While the two near-friends had us used to seeing them working together around the Sony digital photo sensors, we discovered two very divergent/different announces about 35mm… Read More

Canon, only on the 22nd?
This is really becoming annoying, now. After days of hearing that Canon is fighting to get an extension to the NDA of the photo press, it seems that several elements point to a further delay (compared to the previously probable launch date of 17th September). French magazine Réponse Photo has delayed its parution date to… Read More

This is what appears on the Canon teaser about the upcoming Canon EOS 5D MkII. As we can see, Canon made sure that several important zones are hidden (the yellow-ish parts at the bottom, at the top of the lens, under the EOS marking). But we can see that the design is much smoother than… Read More

From CanonRumours. But it seems to be an elegant fake from Xitek.com.
As seen on Canon EOS evolution (US web site). Importantly, the progression of the moon phases will apparently progressively reveal the new camera around the end of the month, just in tome for the opening of the Photokina fair.
The Canon France web site started to prepare the arrival of a new Canon EOS camera with an animated teaser. Visibly, it will be at the top of the range (who said Canon EOS 7D?).
Thanks to Image et Nature magazine who says so on its next cover page. So, no Canon EOS 5D Mark II or similar. It will be Canon EOS 7D. I told you that the press was currently held by the Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Here is one which failed to cover it completely…
The DPreview forums are currently providing the latest bit of information about the Canon EOS 5D succession. The EOS 5D is dead, long live the… EOS 7D and EOS 5D MkII. The first would be for a low cost option (around $2000 – I told you that this low price point would be critical in… Read More

The Canon Japanese web site did it again. Now we get a neary full description of the new Canon EOS 50D. With all nice photos of the replacement for the Canon EOS 40D. Seeing that this also presents a 15MP camera, I start to wonder whether Canon has really a replacement ready for the EOS… Read More

The current rumour is that top hats from Canon Japan are currently travelling to China to support the imminent launch of one or two new SLR cameras for the brand. It would be the replacement for the Canon EOS 5D (the most repeated name is now Canon EOS 7D, but who knows) and the successor… Read More
Canon EOS 3D – When?
Currently, there are two groups of rumours running through the Internet forums about the future successor to the Canon EOS 5D digital SLR camera. There will be two cameras at the same time (either Canon EOS 3D and Canon EOS 6D, or Canon EOS 3D and Canon EOS 7D) launched just before the Olympics (to… Read More
Price of the Full Frame SLR
With the arrival of several Full Frame SLRs on the market, people start wondering what they should buy or what they should wait. Actually, we can expect to see very real price differences, so I thought it would be good to make a summary for us: SLR Price(body only) Comment Canon EOS 5D <$1900<1600€ On… Read More
