Canon Rebel SL2 / EOS-150 Camera Coming to CP+ Show?

Size comparison - Canon Rebel T5i vs Rebel SL1

The CP+ Show is scheduled to take place on February 25 in Yokohama, Japan. There is a possibility Canon may announce either the EOS-80D or the Rebel SL2 camera for the event.

The rumored Rebel SL2 may be slightly smaller than the SL1, making it the smallest and lightest DSLR on the market. Frankly, I think the Canon SL series of cameras are a product in search of customers. The Rebel T6i and T6s are perfectly good cameras and come with a right combination of performance, size, weight and price.

• 24.2MP sensor

Canon EOS-80D Camera Coming To CP+ Show?

Canon EOS-80D camera coming to CP+ Show?

Now that I am back from my Patagonia Photo Tour, it will take some time for me to get re-organized and look through my photos. Trying to get back to my blog and keeping my readers up to date on the photography world. With the EOS-1D X Mark II camera announced, Canon may be finally getting serious about their mirrorless line and turning its attention to other products.

The EOS-70D was announced in July, 2013. Canon may choose to announce its successor, the EOS-80D some time near the CP+ Show, coming in February 25 in Yokohama, Japan. The new camera may come with a mid 20MP sensor, DIGIC 6 processor, Dual Pixel CMOS technology and improved video capabilities but no 4K video. Keep checking back for the latest information and development. More to come . . . . . .

Announcements To Expect From Canon in 2016

Canon EOS-1D X Mark II full frame DSLR?

The following cameras and lens are expected to be announced by Canon in 2016. Some are more likely than others. The first three cameras are full frame DSLRs, follow by APS-C, mirrorless and Powershot cameras.

• Canon EOS-1D X Mark II
• Canon EOS-5D Mark IV
• Canon EOS-6D Mark II
• Canon EOS-80D
• Canon Rebel SL2
• Canon EOS M4
• Full frame mirrorless camera (if Nikon decides to announce one as well)
• Powershot G17

Predicting which glass Canon will announced is tough. The following lens may be available for sale some time in 2016. The EF 800mm f/5.6 and EF 200mm f/2 are least likely, followed by the EF 200-600mm f/4.5-5.6 and EF 600mm f/4 DO. The other EF lens are better than even chance we will see some time next year. I am very eager to get my hands on the EF 600mm DO and EF 200-600mm lens.

EF, EF-S and EF-M Lenses

•     Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III
•     Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III
•     Canon EF 200-600mm f/4.5-5.6L IS
•     Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

What To Expect From CES 2016 in January

The Consumer Electronic Show is only about one month away and takes places on January 6 - 9, 2016 in Las Vegas. Generally, this is a big trade show for electronic, photographic and entertainment companies featuring their 'must have' gadgets and new technologies.

Photographic companies usually showcase their consumer grade cameras and gear with one notable exception. Nikon announced their top-of-the-line DSLR camera, the D4 at the CES 2012. There is a chance they may choose to announce its replacement, the D5 camera at the show in January again. In addition, I reported yesterday Nikon may be in the process of buying Samsung's mirrorless business and they may also make an announcement at the show as well. Samsung has 'officially' denied the rumor but do you really expect them to confirm it before the deal is signed and sealed?

Canon normally announces a few low end PowerShot point-n-shoot cameras at the Show and is not expected to showcase their soon to be released, top-of-the-line EOS-1D X Mark II or the EOS-5D Mark IV until Q1 and Q2 respectively. The smallest DSLR on the market, the Rebel SL1 was announce on October, 2014. Canon may introduce its replacement, the Rebel SL2 and perhaps the EOS-80D DSLR cameras at the Show. Of course, Canon can choose to announce more products after the CES as well, perhaps at the end of the month. Keep checking back. More to come . . . . .

Canon EOS-70Da and EOS-80D Cameras Coming

I have just gotten back from my Polar Bear Photo Tour in the Canadian sub Arctic. Trying to catch up on some Canon photo news when I was away. It was quite a productive trip. The weather was 'milder' than past years and I will be processing the photos when I have a chance to rest up and look at them.

Canon introduced the EOS-60Da in 2012. It is essentially an EOS-60D but geared towards the Astronomy segment of the photography market. Apparently, Canon may be ready to update this camera with the EOS-70Da. The specs will be similar to the EOS-70D but may be equipped with a slightly higher pixel sensor and larger buffer to handle the increase in data processing. The new camera may be announced in time for the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas in January 2016.

The EOS-80D can be expected to debut some time in the first half of 2016. It may come with a mid 20MP sensor, a DIGIC 6 processor, Dual Pixel CMOS technology and improved video capabilities but no 4K video. I am waiting for the EOS-1D X Mk II and EOS-5D Mk IV to debut early to mid 2016 for my next DSLR purchase. Keep checking back for the latest information and development.
