[[Unofficial Rumor Thread]] (Merge City)

wow, out of the smoke it comes...!

I'm not letting my hours of work go un-noticed. This is the 35de.

lol.. nice work.. looks like a camera for Gumby.

I don't get why they class the 350d different from the 20d. Maybe because of the price. Your not as amatuer if you pay more.

Is the 35D the way of getting over the number 30 being unlucky ( or so I read)?

What? Hmmm. You must be trying to cause a stir, like me with my Gumby camera.

The 350d is the entry-level dslr. that's all. Its not bad or incapable, just the least quality that they are WILLING to build into a camera so that it might attract people to the dslr market. It is truly amazing how awesome that camera is for the price.

If they were willing to make it cheaper, I am sure they would.

Let me put it this way. I would be REALLY disappointed if the 350D was the replacement for the 10D. That's why the 20D is there if you ask me.

This link has a link to a "30D Rumor" which states the release date is 21FEB2006. Why would the release date be BEFORE PMA even starts???

The next EOS will also be available in a kit to build yourself.

Among those pictures I like this one the most ... it has Eye-Control !!!

Wish it is true ...

Won't have eye control - too much power needed.

How many MP do those Balsa 1Ds have? I'll take 2.

a bit grainy though

Note if this rumor is correct the "release" date would in actuality be the announcement release date, not the camera release date. Canon has for the past 4 years at least announces a release about 30 days before it becomes available. These announcements tend to come about 3-7 days before a major event (such as PMA 2006). Since PMA starts on 26 Feb an announcement press release could be expected anytime starting on 19 Feb, given the 19th is a Sunday, the 20th would be the earliest expected release of the announcement that would be expected to occur.

If the camera itself is released on Monday 20 Feb (unlikely as the cameras usually become available on a Friday) then an official announcement should come out next week on the camera. Way too early for a typical event announcement.

All this is based on trend analysis and rumors.
We shall see. Me I expect a 20D upgrade camera to be announced between 20 and 26 Feb and with luck a couple new lenses.

what ever happens dpreview usually gets a working copy to play with for a preview...

New Canon Model

A friend of mine, who knows I love Canon cameras, sent me this picture saying: "New Canon Model seems to have nearly everything covered".
