[jorelcuomo]

Hello, does anyone know of hear that Canon might release a new DSLR

at PMA or any new Lenses? Thanks

[phule]

Canon knows.

 

Everything else is speculation.

Bob usually deletes speculative fairly quick, but...<p>

 

There is a rumour of a new Digital EOS 350D / Rebel XT (no specs yet). <br>

UPC code: <a href="http://www.upcdatabase.com/item.pl?upc=055132587462"><b>350D</b></a> <br>

UPC code: <a href="http://www.upcdatabase.com/item.pl?upc=013803049626"><b>XT</b></a> <br>

Notes: (1) The UPC codes listed are not on an official site. <br>(2) The original DPReview poster, 'jpcameraguy', also was the first person to <a href="http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1031&message=9642965"><b>write about</b></a> the introduction of the 20D before its official announcement.

Speculation:

 

If you consider the D30, D60, 10D and 20D cameras (and not the Drebel/

300D) , you can extrapolate a trend of time between their release dates.

Using the "marketing dates" from the "canon camera museum" website, you'll

note that:

 

1) No new model has been released earlier than 1 year from the previous

model.

2) No new model has been released later than about 1.5 years from the

previous model.

 

Thus you could theoretically predict a new model within 1-1.5 years from any

previous model. Accordingly, it is too early for canon to release a 20D

replacement this close to its release date. However, this "prediction" does not

take into account the Drebel/300D. It could well be replaced...

Was not the cycle on the 1D and 1Ds two years?

[nello]

I'm talking exclusively about the D30, D60, 10D, and 20D which are all

considered to be replacement models of and within the same segment/class.

I can't comment on the 1D's or such pro cams which get replaced more

infrequently.

I'm expecting to see a FD glass mount Digital SLR manual focus body based on the 20D design.

 

Code name:

 

FD 20D

Dream on Lindy. :)

 

So much for my favorite choice in names: "DaSupaRebel"

PMA is on Feb 19-23 (I think) this year, so I'd expect them to announce it then. Its well thought the 300D will be replaced soon and this looks like to be it. I wonder how the 350D/XT will compare against the 20D.

Just did a quick search and saw this site:

 

http://www.photobanter.com/q-t_26449-Canon-will-announce-350D-on-Feb14th.html

 

One says they will announce on the 14th of Feb, another says Feb. 17th. The first poster says its an 8 megapixel camera which supports the 20D-350D and 10D-300D comparison.

I just read from that poster on DP that the new Rebel release day is March 13th. That same day the old Rebel is supposed to go on clearance by Canon. Now lets see if there is any truth to all this.
