Canon 50D at Photokina for definate, it’s launched!
So, all those people who posted about the August 26th launch of the Canon 50D and got flamed are now sitting smug, Canon has indeed launched it and the proposed specifications are pretty well matching those that were ‘leaked’.
It means that Canon has replaced the 40D which has only been out for a year, surprising [...]
Canon 50D before Photokina?
Canon rumors is posting that the 50D will be launched on the 26th August, so not long to wait to find out if it’s true! The post is from a source who quotes that it is aimed to compete with the D300 and it’s image/noise quality so presumably the 5d mk2 is the competitor for [...]

Canon 40D cashback in the UK
In the UK the 40D has a new cashback campaign where you can claim back £60. That brings the body down to £540, only a smallish amount more than the 450D. Canon rumors posted a report from a confirmed source that the 40D isn’t going to be discontinued before Xmas. Some rumours say that the [...]
Canon 50D is coming before Photokina?
It appears that Canon is leaking nothing about the 5D mk2 (if there is such a thing), the postings on dpreview are suggesting the 50D is real and that the product will be announced before Photokina. This is following more posts ‘talking’ about the Hawaii dealer meeting. (people are staying tight lipped with details). The [...]
Canon 40D not dead
Canon rumors is saying that 2 new Canon SLR’s still valid, apparently from a valid source. Quote is also that “The 40D is safe for a while” so does that mean no replacement for Photokina.
However it doesn’t mean that the 40D still won’t be a “current” camera if a 50D is launched. The 400D was [...]
Canon 50D 26th August?
Northlight Images is posting a translation from Japan for a 50D. Is this a rehash of the dpreview post re Hawaii and the dealers being given a 50D preview, that was 15Mp, or are we seeing snippets of information slowly leaking out. There’ s been nothing coming out as a follow up to this, maybe [...]
No more Canon G9?
The Canon G9 has been listed as discontinued on the B&H website, so I guess the G10 is on it’s way? Or is there as Canon Rumors has posted the likelihood of a ‘GSI’, a super high end G series with a larger sensor size?
