Hasta La Gadget!

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.

Sometime last month, we did talk about speculation concerning a Nokia Lumia 920 that will sport the PureView sensor, lining up nicely in time for a MWC announcement to wow the masses. Well, it seems that this particular rumor has been reconfirmed by folks over at The Guardian, who claims that they have come into contact with sources close to Nokia, touting that a future Nokia Lumia device in the US will see the same 41-megapixel sensor that one can find in the 808 PureView, running on the Windows Phone platform, with the codename EOS.

There are other rumors in the past that the EOS handset will be making its way to AT&T as well as Verizon, and in all probability, it will be a scaled down version of the PureView Phase 1 sensor that will carry 20-something megapixels to perform all the oversampling work. It is also said that the Nokia Lumia EOS will be slim to keep up with the times, machined from aluminum that will surely be pleasing to the eyes as such devices are wont to do in this day and age.

At $11,999, this latest Canon 1D is hardly set to become a DSLR bestseller, but there are certainly a few pro shooters willing to line up for an incredibly versatile 18-megapixel 4K cam, with EOS lens compatibility and a full-frame sensor. We were expecting Canon’s top-of-the-line beast to sell for just shy of $15,000, so this new sub-$12k sticker is a pleasant surprise. You’ll also need to invest in a battery of high-speed (at least 100MB/s) CF cards — the 1D C captures 4096 x 2160 video at 24 frames per second with an approximate file size of 3.76 gigs per minute of footage, according to the camera’s instruction manual, which you’ll find, along with a purchase link, at the source link below. The EOS-1D C is expected to hit stores in the US later this week, but a few lucky shooters have been out and about capturing demo reels for the last few weeks — you’ll find some of that footage after the break, along with a few more clips at the coverage links below.

Proud owners of that sleek and relatively powerful Mark III will be happy to know Canon has just announced a firmware update for its flagship 5D model. The Japanese camera maker is touting this upcoming release as one that will bring clean HDMI-out support to the EOS shooter, which should be great for folks who would like to monitor their recordings in real time. Additionally, Canon’s improved the Mark III’s AF functionalities yet again; this time out by enabling the unit’s auto focus system to adequately adjust to the type of lens that it is paired with. Unfortunately, it looks like users will have to wait a little while to install the new firmware, as the company won’t be making it available until April of next year — at which point it can be grabbed from the soon-to-be bookmarked source link below.
