The Canon EOS 7D MK II has yet to be announced, although if the rumors are to be believed, it seems that we can look forward to an announcement this year. In fact the latest rumor had us believing that CP+ could be the platform in which Canon unveiled the camera, but unfortunately CP+ has come and gone with no announcement of the device. In any case while we are waiting on an official announcement from Canon, additional specifications of the camera have surfaced, thanks to a media presentation for the Panasonic Lumix GH4 in which the camera was compared against other models from different manufacturers.

As you can see in the screenshot above, one of the compared models was that of the Canon EOS 7D successor, which is widely believed to be the EOS 7D MK II. There’s no telling if these specs are the official ones, so try not to read too much into it for now. According to the list of specs, the EOS 7D MK II will feature a 20MP sensor, an ISO range of 100-12,800 (25,6000 extended), shutter speed of 1/8000, quiet shutter mode, phase detect AF, 8fps continuous shooting, a 3-inch LCD touchscreen display, and just like the EOS 7D, the camera will be weather sealed as well. In any case we’re not sure when Canon’s next announcement will be, but we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled for more info.

I clearly remember at one point in time when waterproof cameras were all the rage, at least those models from Olympus that carried the Mju name. It seems as though the Mju camera could take just about any and all kinds of abuse – being dropped onto the floor because of clumsy hands, or perhaps taking a dunk in the swimming pool because your mates decided to throw you in. Waterproof cameras continue to remain few and far in between, but the latest model from the folks over at Canon happen to be the Canon PowerShot D30.

Canon’s most recent waterproof camera, the PowerShot D30, would prove itself to be an ideal solution when it comes to handling various outdoor adventures. This waterproof device wil allow you to plumb greater depths than ever before, to a record-breaking 82-feet below sea level actually, which would enable the open water diver up to 23 more feet of depth for him or her to explore in the surrounding underwater environment. Not only that, the Canon PowerShot D30 digital camera happens to be temperature-resistant from 14 degrees to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and can shrug off drops of up to 6.5 feet.

Not only that, the PowerShot D30 camera’s built-in GPS tracker is capable of remembering just where and when the photos were taken, making sure that your mind is freed up from such details so that you can focus more on enjoying the moment. These details include the date, time and location of each photo. Thanks to its sleek design and comfortable grip, you can use the PowerShot D30 from under-to-above-water shooting environments in a jiffy without batting an eyelid, and the new Sunlight LCD mode lets you check out the display in an intuitive manner even at high noon. Expect this puppy to arrive later this April in blue for $329.99 a pop.

Here we are with yet another waterproof camera, and Canon themselves are the ones behind the Canon PowerShot D30. This waterproof camera will be able to go underwater with you all the way to a record-breaking 82-feet below sea level, which would mean the open water diver has an additional 23 feet of depth to explore and frolic about in their underwater environment. Not only that, being wet and still working also bodes well for its other “rough” characteristics – this puppy is also temperature-resistant from 14 degrees to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and if you happen to drop your gadgets always, fret not about doing the same to the Canon PowerShot D30 since it is also shockproof to 6.5 feet.
