Canon EOS site updated

[cubano100pct]

New cameras are coming soon. Canon removed the new from Digital Rebel XTi. http://www.canoneos.com. Some times you get the new depends on which server you get served from. Do a refresh and try to link a few times and you will get the server that was updated.

[farrukh]

May be developers team is warming up for the big update after 2 days :P

[CoolToolGuy]

I got both versions during one visit to the Canon USA site, but when I forced a refresh of the page I got the version without the "new".

They updated the two new lenses on the site to remove the "new", but they have not yet updated the EF Lens Chart to remove the "new" bullet from them.

They still have the header for the double rebate, even though that ended yesterday - I guess preparing for the new products has a little more priority today. :confused:

Have Fun,

[sblais]

well, for me it's not quite a matter of when, but rather of what! :D

Or "IF"! (speaking of the 40D)

Of course! But I have a gut feeling that there will be one... who know? ;)

[Hellashot]

All I see at that address is the "new" removed from the XTi.

[CoolToolGuy]

All I see at that address is the "new" removed from the XTi.

That is the point - Canon has updated the Web site to remove the "new" from the XTi, 50mm f1.2L, and 70-200 f4L IS, which is most likely in preparation to add the latest "new" products to the Web site. ;)


Have Fun,

[blackshadow]

It may be to announce new products or there may be a certain time after products have been made available that they are no longer considered new.

[Faithless]

man i hate how tight lipped they are.

[delhi]

geez! it's just a camera! not the SR-71 replacement! :rolleyes:

[Alnitak]

So what DID replace the SR-71, and was there an appreciable price decrease on the old Blackbird?? (and did Lockheed Martin remove the "New" badge from the SR-71 page immediately preceding the arrival of its successor?)

Seeing as how the SR-71 was designed in the early 70's and some if it's stats and capablities are still top secret should make you hope that Canon doesn't develope products in the same way. If that were the case we'd all still be searching forums and speculating about the "true" stats for the 1Dv.

BTW, the SR-17 was replaced by drones. It was a survlance aircraft. The reasons why they made it that fast was so that it could outrun anything fired at it and if they wanted to they could get their photos back faster. It wasn't until the mid 90's that there was a rocket that could catch it and by then it was no longer in use. In it's last "service" flight before it was gutted and hung in the smithsonian, it circuled over the Pacific and did a speed run from LA to NYC in just inder 15min. How would you like that to be your corprate jet.

[Monito]

SR-71 [...] LA to NYC in just inder 15min.

Wrong.

[Alnitak]

I got to photograph an SR-71 taking off in Okinawa in 1985. Gone in the blink of an eye. Poof. Also got one landing (orange net drag-chute and all).

[delhi]

I believe the Mig-25 Foxbat was developed to intercept the Blackbird.

Nevertheless I find Canon's secrecy on new products beats most auto manufacturers!

[JohnnyG]

geez! it's just a camera! not the SR-71 replacement! :rolleyes:
But, more important than a SR-71 in my opinion and I'm a pilot and love the SR-71 but it doesn't take pictures for me, just the government!;) Oh, it's not around anymore either!

The 40D is so important to me that Canon may get a chunk of my money for one if it's worthy!

If speed of sound is 760MPH at sea level and lets say that SR71 can do Mach 4 and it has enough fuel to sustain that speed, in 15 min it would've traveled 760 miles. From JFK to LAX is approximately 2800 miles. In order for SR71 to travel from NYC to LA it needs to travel at Mach 15.

Not tight lipped...they just have a great marketing department...send out feelers and teasers to get the consumers talking. It builds interest up to the point that the product is launched then it's a frenzy to get your hands on the latest and greatest. Classic marketing.

Her's the real facts. I thought under 15 minutes was a bit quick.
When the SR-71 was retired in 1990, one was flown from its birthplace at United States Air Force Plant 42 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_42) in Palmdale, California to go on exhibit at what is now the Smithsonian Institution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithsonian_Institution)'s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_F._Udvar-Hazy_Center) (an annex of the National Air & Space Museum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Air_%26_Space_Museum)) in Chantilly, Virginia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chantilly%2C_Virginia), setting a coast-to-coast speed record at an average 2,124 mph (3,418 km/h). The entire trip took 64 minutes.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR-71_Blackbird#_note-4) The SR-71 also holds the record for flying from New York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City) to London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London): 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds, set on September 1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_1), 1974 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974). This is only Mach 2.68, well below the declassified figure of 3.0+.[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR-71_Blackbird#_note-5) (For comparison, commercial Concorde (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde) flights took around 3 hours 20 minutes, and the Boeing 747 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747) averages 6 hours.)

Hahahahahaha! :rolleyes:

[S2000]

So is the SR71 Blackbird going to be FF and have take 10fps or not???

[chrisvl]

You guys are taking this thread way off topic.

[metalman1010]

One word SCRAM rocket....

now back to our regular programming...


:)

[delhi]

So is the SR71 Blackbird going to be FF and have take 10fps or not???

it will also have internal sensor cleaning. No shake reduction because at Mach 3, internal shakes is the last thing you need.

[basroil]

pretty sure it's a scanning plane system that takes a continuous shot... that's probably 1fpm...:confused:

give me a YF-12 any day... it's the experimental fighter that the sr-71 is developed from , slightly smaller, single seater, and carried missiles and bombs instead of a camera (mind you that most missles in those days where slower than the plane)

[TTLImaging]

Wrong.

actually more like 45 mins

[Citizensmith]

The SR-71 is so last millennium. :) We should instead be wondering, if the 30D is a U2 does that make the 40D a Global Hawk? And if the 40D is a Global Hawk does that mean it can take photos for me while I wait at home?

[gameboy]

Canon Schick 1DIV - they should put a razor blade on the back so you can shave while you photograph

Nah, the images will be so sharp you could shave yourself with those. ;)

The SR-71 needed 1 hour and 8 minutes for its fastest crossing of the USA.

This is even more off topic than some of the worst off-topicness dpreview has experienced...

Prediction:
Digital Rebel XTii, armed with 4 inch lcd screen =)

Yeah but the topic pretty much died when the 1D Mk3 came out and we found out what the new camera was.

[DenZ]

Yep, didn't see that the first topic was 6 days old.
I really do hope they release something more consumer-ish at PMA

[Citizensmith]

Unfortunately its not likely they will as in previous years Canon have only done one big press release. Pity as I was in the market for something in the 30D/40D range. As nice as the 1D mk3 is I was never going to be the owner of one so its hard to get that excited.
