p.1 #1 · Canon EOS Rebel XS/1000D?

I'm not sure if it's mentioned here yet. What's your thought on this?

Is this Canon's "Nikon D40". I was pretty sure the xxxD was as low as Canon was going to go...who knows though. Powershot dSLR?

Probably will not get too hyped up in this forum since most of us own a more advanced SLR. However, it's a good move by Canon. You win the DSLR battle in the entry level, so the more/better cheap bodies available the better it is for Canon.

Maybe an ultra cheap, ultra plasticky 8-10MP body, that only comes in silver and has lots of green and red LED lights to make it look like a toy.

Maybe Canon will follow Nikon here and pull out the internal motor so you will only get AF with USM lenses. I hope it's not suprisingly good, since I just ordered an XSi!

Not sure I understand what you mean, but I think all EF lenses have focus motor inside them; USM is just a kind of motor, that is faster (and of course, among USM lenses, there is a lot of variation in AF speed as well... but that is another matter).

This is excellent news for 1.6x users. The current xxD & xxxD are too closely specified. This will allow canon to 'beef up' the 50D closer the the D300 (meaning more AF points?).

Mind you, I'd imagine this hyperthetical new camera might upset some 1 series users with it's probable new advanced software - face recognition, smile recognition, bad hair day technology (tm)* etc

*Bad hair day reduction technology works a little like red eye reduction, by detecting dodgy barnets. Picture Styles will be replaced with uploadable Hair Styles - and the new DPP will include Hair Style editor.

Would be a nice venue to introduce in-body IS.

You are correct, Mr. Rival. No EOS body has a focus motor.

The beauty of Canon is you can use the best lenses with all of the bodies from low to high. Internal IS would make me believe that the body wouldn't be compatible with the IS series.

Another entry level 1.6X crop body?

Is there any chance of entry level dslr w/ FF near future?

Am I hoping too much?

Who says this is going to be a 1.6x crop? I wouldn't be surprised to see an even smaller sensor with an EF mount...and that would certainly drive the price down...

I doubt Canon will introduce smaller sensor but you'd never know...

Maybe have some logic to determine if lens based IS is available and use it, otherwise use the in camera IS.

It's a low end camera with an improved live view AF system and with a 3.5 '' screen.

Canon made sure to include some lovely video games in it, so you can enjoy your LCD.

I doubt that. Four Thirds made it work. Panasonic/Leica sell a lens with IS, and Olympus makes a body with IS. If you want to you can turn both on, but it makes shots blurry. Just turn off the in-body IS when using the lens with IS, and all is good.

Canon could implement in-body IS even better: detect an IS lens (this is already possible, as lenses tell the body what they are) and disable in-body IS for those lenses. No user intervention required.

I doubt they'll do this, however. Canon is big into their "lens-based IS is superior" myth.

Of the 33 EF (not EF-S) prime & zoom lenses BELOW 200mm, only 2 (6%) have IS. Of the 41 lenses up to and INCLUDING 200mm, a massive 5 (12%) have IS. Hardly impressive really!

24-105
28-135
70-200/2.8
70-200/4
200/2

I would guess the typical buyer of this entry level camera might not even buy more than 1 additional lens (short telephoto zoom). This camera is born from the marketing side of the house. To say you can have a 18-55 55-200 stabilized system for less than $700 would be a hit.

Why is it bad news no mention of the 5d2? Unlike the other series of cameras Canon releases, the 5D holds the test of time so far.

Honestly, an updated version would be nice, but at the same time isn't it awesome to know that the 5D kicks as much a$$ as it does?

Exactly. The 5D doesn't really need an update imo.
