Much like death and taxes: DSLR rumors are a constant. What are the newest? What’s the skinny? Read on…
Canon Rumors
There’s a plethora of Canon rumors.
- A new processor is rumored – the DIGIC V which could appear on the mythical 60D and the 1Ds Mark IV.
- Speaking of the Canon 60D, if the rumors are correct the new DSLR will have GPS functionality. Maybe Canon users will no longer have to purchase an expensive WiFi grip to enjoy GeoTagging as easily as Nikon users. (see the “leaked” photo above from http://www.northlight-images.co.uk)
- The 5D Mark III could be released next year, or so says Vincent Laforet.
- dpreview has posted a review of the new Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II
- A new Canon flash is rumored. There may be some “new technology” built into the flash. Maybe this new technology will make Canon flashes as good as Nikon and its CLS system.
