Hi everybody,
I just went to a camera shop to buy a PowerShot S50 for my wife. A
friend of mine introduced me to a local Canon dealer. He just came
back from some dealers meeting, where they have been informed about
new products for the next season:
EOS D20 body: 8.? Mpix (I think 8.3), 1.6 crop sensor, EF-S mount,
5frames/sec, larger buffer (he forgot how large)...
EF-S 10-22mm lens
EF-S 18-85 IS lens
some other lenses...
I'm not sure if this is really true, but I think that the official
embargo is untill some time in August.
So we have to wait and see!

How much did they give you for her?

Now why would they come out with an 8.3mp, 5fps, bigger buffer, 10d replacement?
If they did that it would compete with the Mark II's sales and chew into them.
It would obviously be considerably more expensive as well. I doubt that was true.
Just my .02 cents though who knows!

Canon don't usually give out their trade secrets to a bunch of dealers months before products are officially announced, at least not here in the US. Maybe it's different in Europe, though I doubt it.
I'll leave this rumor around for a day or so in case anyone can add anything concrete, but I doubt that will happen.
I expect we'll see the rumor mill start to churn quite vigorously as Photokina approaches (it opens on Sept 28th this year).
Maybe your dealer was surfing the net and found this: http://koti.mbnet.fi/studiox/eos/eos.htm

I want me a 20-50/1.8 IS.
That would make me completely happy.

That looks like a photoshop job to me ;).

if either of those lenses actually come out and are cheap like the 18-55, I will be buying and using Bob's hacksaw guide :)
I would be shocked to see a 18-85 IS zoom especially with the EF-S mount. I am not sure many ppl need IS on that small of a lens.
the 10-22 would make sense to battle the sigma 12-24 but again why in EF-S mount when EF-S bodies can take EF lenses. I hope if this does come out, that it is a constant aperture lens.

I'd be very surprised if the 10D replacement comes with an EF-S mount.
Anyway, why do they need to replace the 10D - AFAIK there's nothing wrong with it. Remember, this time last year, everyone was thinking there'd be a digital EOS3 and Canon brought out the 300D instead - surely, if they're bringing out a new digital body it'd be more likely to be between the Id mark II and the 10D.
I guess we'll find out in September - or we won't.
