new dSLR from Canon

[Mark Douglas 2]

As an EOS user looking to get a digital SLR in the near future, I've been following rumors on this website regarding the replacement for the D60. I don't have the time to peruse every discussion, so please don't get ticked if this is something that someone has already pointed out.

I found a pic of a Canon digital SLR on the Chasseur d'Images website. Though my french isn't good enough to translate the article, the accompaning pics make it look like a lower end dSLR - probably based on a Rebel body.

Comment from the group? Again, I apologize if this has already been pointed out by someone else.

David,

So chasseur d'images is a poor source of information? I'm not being a smartass, I really want to know as I'm trying to download a translator to read the site and won't do so if this is a notoriously bad site. God knows I've been underwhelmed with the French position at the the U.N., if this site is just as inconsistant I won't bother with it any more.

Haha, this is Canon 300v, with just flower added on it's LCD. ))
Just as idiot as http://www.akam.no/nyheter/2003_02/canon_eos_d80.html


Wait for the PMA, all other rumors before are scams...

David, your best bet is to wait a couple more weeks till PMA and the official Canon announcements. Don't bother trying to translate the other sites.

Best,

They are, to put it mildly, idiots. They will repeat ANY rumor they THINK they hear.

Over a year ago, I posted a "wish list" for the D30 upgrade camera on this very forum. I made it quite clear that this is what I wanted and/or thought they might do.

Within a day, it appeared on that site as a rumor.

The D40/D80 rumors started here on this forum, too. By a guy who admitted a day later that he'd just made it all up.

the rumor that was made up here was for a D40 and a 8D, not a D80

I am sorry for you guys but you have to learn a little french before you begin saying that the home page of chasseur d'images says nonsense.

They only say that a low priced "d40" might use the body of the eos 300v and they also say that the picture is a fake done on purpose.

i won't make a comment on the position of france or the US in the UN talks but your remarks about them only show how easely one can be manipulated by TV , Press etc etc

This site has had some luck in the past at predicting future releases. But, they have many more incorrect predictions. Like many of these sites they tend to grab at a LOT of rumors and post most of them. Some rumors are indeed based in fact, if only a little bit at times, so sites like this (or their supporters) can often say "See, they were right on this, and this, and this...". Conveniently leaving out the times they were NOT accurate.

At this point it is all a guess. It seems relatively certain that a D60 replacement will be announced sometime soon (but then it had to be replaced to keep ahead of others). But just what the replacement will be is quite unknown, and "specifications" have been flying wildly for months. Upshot is, we will not know until Canon chooses to make some comment.

Also, that picture is a made up picture, no real basis in fact, a guess at best.

D!

 

[DavidP #28649]

ALL they do is REPEAT rumors. They don't have any inside info.

This was QUITE clear when they "stole" my predictions about the D30 upgrade over a year ago.

Yeah, eventually they will get it right. But only because somebody ELSE does first.

I'd like to meet their "researchers". All they do is scour the forums for rumors, and repeat them.

Just like psychics. Throw out enough "predictions", and some of them will come to pass.

Then talk about ONLY those predictions.

Which article are you referring to ?

There's only one article with a picture, ( "C'est officiel : le Canon EOS D60 quitte la scène! "), about the D60 being discontinued, but the picture there is obviously a photoshop montage. The rest of the article contains no hard information, just a guess that maybe Canon would release 2 cameras.

BTW, a later article ( "PMA: Canon, Nikon... et les autres" ) says exactly the opposite, that there should just one new DSLR, that both the price and the features should be a big surprise.

I've also got the paper edition, and there's also a 'rumor' article, speaking once again of 2 cameras.
An EOS300v based DSLR, 2000EUR ?
And a 1D replacement, 6MP, based on the EOS3
But all that is just rumors, ...

 

[Peporte Max]

They only show very little information on their webpage
because they only want it to be some kind of news ticker

they have more complete news in their paper

i don't understand how you can judge a french magazine without having read it that is actually very simplistic.

I don't know how many of the people writing in this forum have read the magazine (or do understand french) but you should not blame somebody before you have the information prooving it.

For my own defense i have to say that i am not french ;-)

You are right but they are only guessing, and they say it.

Their intention is not to give information about the next generation of canon D-SLR but to guess what might come.

thats all

sorry for my bad english

Would you care to explain how they came up with the "rumor" of the D30 replacement that exactly matched my "wish list", within a day after I posted it here on DPR?

They only show very little information on their webpage
because they only want it to be some kind of news ticker

David,

I think your are confusing EOSseries :
http://eosseries.ifrance.com/eosseries/en/eos_news.html
with Chasseur d'Images :
http://www.photim.com/Arrive/Sommaire.asp

Chasseur d'Images is a well respected and serious magazine.
