The latest Canon rumors

By PR admin | Published: September 26, 2012

This is a quick recap of the latest Canon rumors:

At the upcoming PhotoPlus show in New York (October 24-27) Canon may preview a new high megapixel DSLR camera with 46.1MP sensor, 5fps, 16bit and an ISO range of 100-12800. Canon is rumored to introduce also a newly designed sensor that will be used in the upcoming 7D2, 70D and 700D models that are expected to be announced in 2013. Two new f/4 telephoto lenses are rumored for January, 2012.

This Amazon video demonstrating the 6D Wi-Fi capabilities has a reference to a Canon EOS 4D model.

AP reports that Canon has no plans to incorporate an EVF in future mirrorless cameras and will not publicly release a roadmap of upcoming mirrorless lenses.

    ….in January, 2013

      Oh yeah, so easy for them to say that. When they KNOW the world is going to end on December 22. Sheesh.

    46mp? ……. ho hum, little late to the big party, no?

    all quiet here …

    • ItsaChris

      46 vs 36 vs 24 not a big deal but the update to 16 bit could be more interesting.

      and with a line up that long that will be using the new sensor you would think it would be a nice jump in IQ for canon.

      • Ross

        And just think about the upgrade in computer hardware you would need to handle the files. ;)

      • COOLSTORY

        Cannot wait for 16bit update more!!!

        • Pablo Ricasso

          Yeah, if the sensor is up to par, then the 16 could be quite useful. Otherwise…

    • Who Cares

      LOL

      I fully agree. Big YAWN!

  • Z

    If you are late to the party, you want to be little less obtuse …

    … Canon has no plans to incorporate an EVF in future mirrorless cameras and will not publicly release a roadmap of upcoming mirrorless lenses …

    You’re all crazy if you think Canon is going to pass on milking out every frikkin pixel increase on the way up to 46MP. First we’ll see 31MP, maybe 36MP, then 40MP and so on. Don’t forget that they can jump back to 31MP again and blame on DR and then release the 46MP in late fourth quarter of 2025.

    • Z

      Kinda like they did with some of their comsumer P&Ss’ …

  • One More Thought

    Canon seems to be following the worst possible business strategy; just play it safe, release nothing exciting, ignore consumer demands, and hope to coast on your brand name alone.

    In the fast changing world of tech, that’s a recipe for disaster.

    As for their EOS M, it’s stupid for them to not release a separate EVF add-on or EVF version for that. They are just trying too hard to protect their low end dslr market…but if they don’t make their own products obsolete, someone else will.

    Shame on Canon.

  • NycPete

    great. I shoot both Canon and Nikon. once you have all the glass the bodies are pretty cheap.

  • R!

    …better get some money out of your D800 before 2013 because It’s going obsolete after Canon will release this!(If they don’t do it before xmas).

    • Pablo Ricasso

      Are they going to make it with an F mount?
      Is it going to have a good sensor for a change?
      Is it going to be ready before Christmas in 2013?

      The difference between 36 and 46 is less than the difference between 6 and 8.
      By the time this is ready Nikon will probably have a D4x. Nobody’s talking about the D4X.

      Also, 46 is an odd sounding number. Don’t you think?

      • Jeffs

        Some interesting points indeed.
        Sure, if it is so 16 bit files would be interesting and yes 46 is odd.
        I am just thinking a D4x of 60mp / 16 ibt would give MF something to think on. Naturally, this will be the rebirth of powerful desktop pc.

        Oh, I am just wondering if the company will say in phone company speak that purple fringing is normal for this item? :-)

  • john

    46mp… sounds like Nikon killer… can’t wait to see what Nikon’s responce will be.

    • RRphoto

      Nikons response will probably be to do nothing as the D800/D800E is going to perform better than anything the C word can put out! ;)

  • Azmir

    Admin, you reckon the 46.1MP Canon will be the D800/E killer?

    • http://photorumors.com PR admin

      I doubt if they put in a big pro body. It will cost way more than the D800.

  • George

    To be announced by when, and released next year (too bad). I would bet that Nikon will have a new camera by then. Canon is too concerned with producing the same 18 megapixel camera in different packages than keeping up with state of the art. Unfortunately general consumer products are where the profits exist, and only a few of us really need medium/large format quality (not enough to drive market forces).

    They are a business, not a passion for perfection. If 900,000+ consumers demanded higher pixel count I bet they would bring it to market asap. (how many nikon d800′s have actually sold)
