Canon has 70 new products on Feb 21st?
That's the rumour, supposedly from Canon Spain.
|
Don't know what the other 67 are but the release of the SD600, A530 and A540 are on the 12th of March...I assume these will be announced on the 27th. I guess tey'll finally release they HD replacement for that dinosaur the GL2...30D would be nice...
|
that 3D rumor looks beautiful - I really needed a smaller version of the 1 series and it looks like that's it. I hope it's real.
|
Aaaargh, I can't substantiate this rumour :-p, but I read somewhere on another site ... or was it my cousin's friend ...
Well anyway, Canon's going to announce 11 new camcorders. |
Don't get your hopes up though, they're all in the ZR line.
|
But they will all be HDV.
|
why feb 21st?
You would think its about time for a GL3! |
|
Looks like there's going to be a replacement for the Canon Powershot G6. It's down to 4 sellers on pricegrabber.com, that's down from 20 sellers about 2 months ago. Perhaps a full frame fixed lens range finder/SRL body people have been speculating about.
Interestingly, the GL2 went up to 44 sellers from 34 sellers about 2 weeks ago, don't know what that means though. |
How long as the GL2 been out?

From this press release, it appears to be around 4 years. I was talking to another shooter today about how Canon has seemingly abandoned the prosumer camcorder space. I was at the XL-H1 launch event and the Canon people kept saying that the H1 was meant to be a broadcast studio camera. That said, I am very much a Canon guy ever since I got my EOS650 years ago. I wish they had a full robust line of video cameras like Panasonic does. |
Please be GL H1.
Please be GL H1. Please be GL H1. Please be GL H1. Please be GL H1. Please be GL H1. |

Hmmm... probably still out of my price range... so... Please be Optura HD. Please be Optura HD Please be Optura HD Please be Optura HD Please be Optura HD :-) (Maybe that is why the Optura 60 has been gone from B&H for several days now... *crosses fingers*) |

^the Optura H1 might use a CMOS sensor. That's what I'm guessing.
