Canon Entry-Level EOS Rebel XS DSLR Priced and Dated

Canon's entry-level EOS Rebel XS (1000D) just got more official stateside, with a price and release date: $699.99 for the kit, with the same f/3.5-5.6 18-55mm image-stabilizing lens as the XSi, and it ships next month. Note that Canon has dropped the "Digital" part of the name, since it's sort of redundant. To see how it stacks up against the XTi and XSi, check out our easy comparison chart here, or hit the press release below. More »

Canon 5D Mark II Supposedly Surfaces Online, Due in June

A screencap supposedly snagged from Canon's German site spilled some details on Canon's way anticipated 5D Mark II before it slipped back into the ether. June release, and it rocks a 16-megapixel DIGIC III processor that can fire at 6.5FPS. The blurb calls the Mark II "small, light, robust and weatherproof." A bit different than the last batch of rumored specs, and could very possibly be BS, but with the noise steadily growing, we can probably expect something soonish regardless. [Photography Bay]

A Word About the Canon EOS 5D Successor

Interesting bit just tossed our way by the Canon rep when we asked about a 5D follow-up, slightly paraphrased: The EOS-1Ds line (their full-frame pro DSLRs) is on a three-year upgrade cycle. The 1Ds Mark II came out in 2004, and the Mark III dropped in 2007. The EOS 5D came out in 2005.

Draw your own conclusions.

Canon Announcing Digital Rebel XTi or EOS 5D Successor Jan. 24

Swedish Canon exec Robert Westin has apparently told the (also Swedish) site Kamerabild that Canon's announcing a new DSLR on Jan. 24, a week before PMA. The obvious choices are updates to either the Digital Rebel XTi (aka EOS 400D) or EOS 5D, since they're the two DSLR lines that've gone the longest without an update. More »

Canon to Halt Sales of EOS-1D Mark III to UK and Recall?

We told you about Canon's willingness to fix the focus problems in its flagship EOS-1D Mark III camera, and now it appears the company is taking further steps to make sure the $4500 digital SLR is working properly. In a letter allegedly sent to UK dealers and dated October 25, not only does Canon acknowledge a quality issue with some of the EOS-1D Mark III units already sold, the company has decided to stop shipping the product and will collect all unsold units from dealer stock. Take a look at the letter: More »

Focus-Broken Canon EOS-1D Mark III to be Fixed Soon

Although we were highly impressed with the $4500 Canon EOS-1D Mark III digital SLR camera when we first saw it last winter (check out our video of it snapping off 10 frames per second like a house afire), the high-end super camera turned out to have a goofy problem: Its autofocus didn't work in bright sunlight. Canon has reportedly agreed to fix the camera's AI servo autofocus defect, and if you're one of the unfortunate early adopters of that mofo cam, you can call 800 828-4040, give your serial number to one of the Canon reps, and they'll call you when they have the parts and you'll get your camera fixed right up, maybe even in the next couple of weeks. So much for being an early adopter. [Rob Galbraith, via FM Forums]

Amazon Spills Full Details on Canon EOS 40D DSLR

Further information on Canon's hotly anticipated EOS 40D DSLR has appeared on an Amazon pre-order page. They say it'll be released on September 20 with a $1299.99 price tag for the body, $300 less than the Best Buy leak suggested, though that now seems to be for the lens kit. They also spilled the alleged detailed specs, posted in full after the jump. [Update: It looks like Amazon pulled the page.] More »

Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR Pricing Leaked?

Precious little information is available about the upcoming Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR, successor to the Canon EOS 30D and probably destined to be a favorite among prosumers everywhere. Unless this is a fake, some dope at Best Buy might have accidentally leaked a little tidbit of information that indicates the camera's pricing to be $1599.99. We're guessing that must be the price for the body only. Take a look at that stocking, pricing and availability info on the allegedly leaked photo above. If it's fo' reals, looks like we might be seeing it on September 2. There were also a few unconfirmed specs mentioned on the same site where we found this pic as well. More »

Canon EOS 40D Rumors Run Rampant

Anticipation of a new Canon digital SLR has reached a fever pitch, as Canon's Hong Kong site accidentally-on-purpose titled a blank page "EOS 40D" (see mockup of the camera above). Competition is fierce in this market segment, with Canon feeling the heat from the Nikon D80 and D40, and it's high time Canon released a new model. More »
