Hasta La Gadget!

Canon has announced a couple of cameras today – the PowerShot SX280 and the DSLR Rebel SL1 (also known as the EOS 100D in other markets). If that wasn’t enough, Canon has also taken the wraps off another DSLR camera, this one being the Rebel T5i, which is also referred to as the EOS 700D depending on which region you are in. The T5i will be the new flagship camera for Canon’s entry-level Rebel lineup of DSLRs and will sport an 18MP CMOS sensor with Canon’s DIGIC 5 processor under the hood. It will be capable of shooting ISO ranges between 100-12,800 (it can go up to 25,600 in H mode according to Canon), 5fps shooting speeds with 9 AF points.

The Rebel T5i will also feature a Live View mode as well as Full HD video capture in 1080p quality. Just like the SL1, the T5i will also come bundled with Creative Filters which allows the photographer to add filters to their photos after they have taken them. A bit of a novelty but we guess there are some who would rather do the post processing on their cameras rather than on their computers. The Rebel T5i will also come in three different packages for the photographer to choose from, with the body-only kit priced at $749.99, the version with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens kit at $899.99, and last but not least the $1,099.00 bundle that comes with an EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens kit.

The Canon Rebel T5i will be available in April alongside the Rebel SL1 and the PowerShot SX280. [Press release]

Canon has rolled out a dSLR camera earns the title of “world’s smallest and lighest,” offering a host of features you’d expect from Canon digital SLR paired with a body less than 5-inches wide and weighing less than 15 ounces. This makes it smaller than the EOS Rebel T4i by about 25-percent, and a good solution for those who need to take professional images without the burden of a hulking device.

You can see a visual representation of the SL1′s small size in the first image in the gallery below, which contrasts it with the T4i (represented by the blue outline). The SL1 measures in at 4.6-inches wide by 3.57-inches high by 2.74-inches thick, weighing 14.36 ounces. While the small size is one of its most alluring features, it also has a lot to offer in its hardware specs.

The Rebel SL1 has an 18-megapixel CMOS sensor with an ISO range from 100 to 12,800 for photos, as well as ISO to 6,400 for videos. There’s a DIGIC 5 Image Processor, giving the SL1 the power to snap 4-frames-per-second. The autofocus is a nine-point system utilizing a Hybrid CMOS AF II sensor, as well as Movie Servo AF for video recording. Around back there’s a 3-inch touchscreen Clear View LCD that supports multi-touch gestures.

Canon’s Executive Vice President and General Manager of Imaging Technologies and Communications Yuichi Ishizuki had this to say: “The EOS Rebel SL1 Digital SLR Camera represents a new era in DSLR versatility: ultra-portable, full-featured DSLR cameras. The EOS Rebel SL1 combines the high speed, high image quality and expanded shooting range of a DSLR camera, with the easy and fun usability of a point-and-shoot camera.”

The EOS Rebel SL1 is slated for release next month at $649.99 for the body and $799.99 for a EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit lens.

It’s virtually an annual tradition for Canon to unveil new EOS Rebel DSLRs well before the summer hits, and we’re very nearly due for the next installment. It shouldn’t be a shock, then, that Digicam info claims to have both images and details of the EOS Kiss X7, which may be the smaller and lighter EOS-b. As you’d imagine, most of the differences versus the Rebel T4i appear to be more ergonomic than technical. While there’s mention of a second-generation hybrid autofocusing system, the most conspicuous changes appear to center on a space-saving design that moves the AF assist light to the opposite side. The 18-megapixel sensor, DIGIC 5 processor, ISO 25,600 sensitivity ceiling, 9-point autofocusing coverage and 3-inch LCD all appear to be retreads — the new model would be more to attract first-time owners than catch habitual upgraders. If the details are accurate, Canon would sell the Kiss X7 late in April for ¥79,000 ($828). There’s no word on plans for the camera’s US counterpart, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see an American edition arrive around the same time.

Looks like some clumsy folks at Best Buy have listed an unannounced Canon DSLR on their website. This could fall in line with rumors circulating about a “mini-DSLR” meant to compete with compact mirrorless cameras. More »

Remember when there were rumors last week that Canon could be introducing a new line of DSLR cameras? While we’re still waiting for an official announcement of sorts, the folks at Best Buy have put up a listing for a Canon camera. Unfortunately it was not stated as to what the camera’s model was, nor were there any photos. However the listing did reveal a certain EOS-b 18MP camera with an EF-S 18-55mm zoom lens. Apart from that there was not much to go on. Could this be the rumored new DSLR that we have been hearing about?

For those who haven’t been following the camera news, there were rumors that Canon was planning a smaller DSLR lineup that would be in between the EOS M range of mirrorless cameras, and the Rebel series of entry-level DSLRs. These cameras are expected to pack the power of a DSLR camera into a smaller body, one that is smaller than the Rebel but larger than the EOS M. It is possible that this Best Buy listing could be it, and if it is, hopefully it is a sign that an announcement could be on the horizon.
