A recent job listing on Hasselblad's website includes some hints that the company, who recently introduced the Lunar mirrorless camera to the market, is planning to announce two more compact and one DSLR cameras by the end of the year:
"You will be responsible for the worldwide sales of consumer-oriented line of Hasselblad products starting with a mirrorless Lunar and followed already this year with 2 compact cameras and a DSLR.
Another job listing has a similar description:
In addition to "SLR EOS M", "PowerShot" and "IXUS", Canon France has two interesting placeholders on their website: one is labeled as "Compact 24x36", the second is called "Compact APS". Is Canon really preparing to a launch a new APS-C based (not a big surprise here) and a full frame compact camera? Could this actually be the "BIG" upcoming announcement and not the EOS 70D? Definitely an interesting development a day after Sony introduced their RX1R compact full frame camera.
The first images and specifications of the soon to be announced Canon EOS 70D DLSR camera are already out:
Canon is rumored to announce a new 70D DSLR camera. The 70D kit will be available with a EF-S 18-55mm IS STM or with the EF-S 18-135mm IS STM lens. The matching battery grip will be the BG-E14 (via digicame-info).
