Canon portrait photographers listen up, you're got some new glass coming your way. In a few months time, we will allegedly see a brand new lens added to the Canon L lineup of high-end glass: the 85mm f/1.4L.
Portrait photographers who have been hoping for an affordable alternative to Canon's 85mm f/1.2L, you've got reason to celebrate. It sounds like Canon is going to be releasing an 85mm f/1.4L IS USM in 2017!
Canon just published an interesting patent that combines the benefits of both an optical and electronic viewfinder to help your camera auto focus like a champ.
If you're a big fan of Canon's cameras but can't quite muster the pocket money to buy the newest 5D, you're probably keen on news about a different camera: the followup to Canon's entry-level full-frame 6D, the 6D Mark II. Sadly, that camera is still a ways off, but here's everything we "know" so far.
Talk of a Canon full-frame mirrorless camera has been swirling around the rumor mill for years, but if you were expecting a full frame ILC to arrive any time soon, the latest rumors are going to disappoint you on both counts.
Canon hasn't given up on the EOS M series of mirrorless cameras. In fact, it seems they're preparing to launch what might be considered the "next chapter" in the M-line: The EOS M5. And today we get our first look at it.
After a lot of speculation and a juicy tidbit here and there, a more complete spec list and first photo of the much-anticipated Canon 5D Mark IV has leaked. So, what's Canon got in store for the next 5D model?
File this rumor in the "odd-but-plausible" folder. According to a "retail source," Canon is planning to put a 30MP sensor in the Canon 5D Mark IV. Not 20, 22, or 24... 30MP.
Here's another one for the "probably never going to get made but WOW" file. A month and a half after Canon patented a massive 1000mm f/5.6 DO lens and two months after the crazy 28-560mm f/2.8-5.6 patent, the company is at it again. This time they've patented an EF 40-800mm f/4.5-5.6!
Tidbits about the upcoming Canon 5D Mark IV have been few and far between, but a 'pretty reliable source' is revealing a piece of info that's bound to make Mark III users happy. It seems the Mark IV will come with card slots for both CFast 2.0 and SDXC UHS-II.
It seems Canon has some big surprises in store for 2017. Not only is the follow-up to the entry-level full-frame EOS 6D in the works, there's talk of a brand-new EOS DSLR as well.
It seems the recently-leaked (maybe?) Canon 5D Mark IV is going to come with some fresh bling when it finally becomes official in a couple months time. According to recent reports, the camera will be announced alongside a refresh of Canon's 24-105mm f/4L lens.
Canon's got a fever, and the only prescription is more focal length. A new patent from the Japanese camera giant has surfaced that shows the formula for a monster of an EF lens: a 1000mm f/5.6 IS DO.
Are you ready for the Canon 5D Mark IV? Because it's right around the corner. A new report reveals that photographers are already testing the camera out in the wild, getting the software ready for the expected August release.
The Canon 5D Mark IV is one of the most anticipated DSLR releases on the horizon, and yesterday we got our first peek at what kind of specs the full-frame SLR may be sporting when it finally makes its debut in about 4 months.
As 2014 draws to a close, the Canon rumor mill is beginning to buzz louder about some potential cameras that are supposedly in the works -- foremost among them the high-megapixel DSLR that we've been hearing about for over two years.
But according to the most recent rumors, we might not have one, but two new 50MP DSLRs to look forward to.
Holy product leaks Batman! Info and photo leaks don't get much more comprehensive than this. In what they're actually titling the official introduction post, Canon Rumors has posted four higher res product shots of the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II alongside full specs, pricing, and a detailed description of the lens from top to bottom.
At this point, it would be a formality for Canon to even announce the darn thing. But if you want to save the surprise for the official announcement of this Unicorn lens, we don't suggest you read on.
Canon's EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM debuted in 1998, and over a decade and a half later we're still waiting for a replacement. But we might not be waiting very much longer at all. In fact, recent rumors now backed up by the first leaked image indicate that this lens will arrive this month.
Here's an interesting rumor from the Canon camp. You know that 'modular' phone Google is working on that will let you swap out pieces of it -- say, the camera, or the processor -- by removing and attaching different pieces? Well, fresh rumors suggest Canon is thinking of doing something similar with a forthcoming DSLR.
'See Impossible' debacle and subsequent parody aside, recent rumors indicate Canon really is getting ready to innovate, or at the very least take some risks and release some interesting products.
The most recent rumblings from the rumor mill today indicate that not one, but two cameras with multi-layer sensors will arrive in 2015, and a high megapixel camera is definitely in the pipeline.
It seems the major rumor sites were duped about the upcoming Canon 7D replacement. According to a new Canon Rumors report published last night, previously reported specs for the Mark II were incorrect. Fortunately, it seems they've gotten their hands on some new specs that they're "90% confident" are accurate this time around.
It's safe at this point to say that a Canon 7D replacement is definitely on the way, and will almost certainly make its debut at Photokina. But whereas there's plenty of leaked info to corroborate this fact, very little more about the camera has come to light.
Still, some info is bound to come out and the spec list below is the most accurate information that has slipped through the few cracks left in Canon's anti-rumor shield.
Rumors that Canon is looking to jump into the medium format game have been circulating for years now, but the mill has been quiet for a while on that front. Well, quiet until today, that is.
The Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens first debuted in 1998... 1998! In November that'll be sixteen years on the market without a replacement, and while lenses aren't typically replaced as frequently as camera bodies, hope that Canon would manufacture a 'sequel' to the trusty old lens still runs strong.
Well, those hopeful hearts now have something to rejoice about, because the Canon Rumors has received a concrete tip that the 100-400mm followup will indeed be arriving alongside the 7D Mark II just in time for Photokina in September.
One of the hopes people had for the Nikon D810 was that it would feature 4K video, but even though Nikon made it obvious in the press materials that this camera is a capable video machine, the rumored 4K capability never came to fruition.
You can understand, then, why we'll suggest you take this next rumor with a grain of salt. Nothing like getting our hopes up only to have them dashed.
If you've been following the most recent rumors regarding the long-awaited Canon APS-C flagship 7D Mark II, you know that the latest news is that Canon has some fancy new sensor technology in the works, and that it's supposed to re-establish Canon as an imaging leader.
None of the rumor sites have been able to pin down what this sensor tech actually is, but its existence seems a near certainty; and now, it looks like the 7D won't be the only release to benefit from it. Canon may be refreshing the 5D and 1D lines as well.
Almost five years in the making, the followup to Canon's 7D still hasn't become more than a rumor, making many wonder if a Mark II (or any new APS-C flagship) will ever arrive. Well, according to Canon Watch, the answer to that question is yes. And the answer to the following question 'when?' is Photokina, with some potential appearances at this year's FIFA World Cup.
Released back in September of 2009, the Canon 7D is long overdue for a much-anticipated refresh. The problem is, up until just recently various sources have published conflicting reports that seem to get us no closer to knowing what this camera will actually look like.
Last week, we told you about an internal memo published by Canon Rumors that supposedly revealed Canon's 1D X (and likely 1D C) cameras were having autofocusing issues in sub-freezing temperatures. But it seems that might have only been the tip of the internal service memo iceberg.
A report on Canon Rumors is pointing out an issue with Canon's flagship full-frame DSLR and its Cinema counterpart: the 1D X and 1D C. Apparently users have been reporting problems with the 1D X's AF when shooting in less than 0° C, and if an anonymous report sent to CR is accurate, Canon knows about the problem.
