Here is an update on the latest patents since my last post:
The Canon EOS 7D Mark II DSLR camera was initially scheduled to be released in November. Amazon has now updated their listing and the latest DSLR from Canon is expected to start shipping on October 30th, 2014.
The Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L lens (see patent) that leaked last month is real and will be priced around $3,000. The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4-5.6L IS II USM lens is rumored to be announced in November 2014 and should start shipping in December 2014.

Canon USA has a new teaser that does not really make any sense – my guess is that this is not related at all to photography (see the Canon logo used). Maybe a new printer? According to the countdown, we will know more on Tuesday but don’t hold your breath for a new camera or a […]
