There is a lot of speculation about what Canon may introduce at the upcoming PMA show. Here’s my guess:
- The new 12MP pro body is introduced next week.
- The new 22MP pro body is announced but not available yet.
- No update to 5D, but maybe a lower price? (Either by announcement or attrition…)
- No update to the 30D
By the end of the year…
- The folks dying for the 12MP pro body have gotten one.
- The 22MP pro body is out.
- Those waiting for a 40D move towards a less expensive 5D.
- Possible intro of 16MP “3D” – possible since the old 16MP pro body is now at 22MP.
With a rather competent 400D and a less expensive FF 12MP body, a 40D is never going to be a big seller.
I love those “MF” rumors… And what about lenses? And rumors of a new mount?
Wild speculation is fun, and I’ve done it before. :-)
