I know the rumor sites are suspect as they speculate so much that they eventually hit something right. But there are reports that Canon will announce two new bodies and three new lenses.

I'm guessing the new bodies are product refreshes for either the 1Ds3, 50D or Rebel XS. While the lenses are something connected to the Winter Games & World Cup like the 70-200/2.8L II IS?

Your thoughts or wishes?

17-85 2.8 IS please !

IF Canon decides to stick to it's release cycle we won't be seeing a 1DsIV until late Spring or Summer. I think we'll see a 60D and a new Rebel with a few EF-S lenses and perhaps a new L sometime in Feb.

A Canon crop dSLR with 1080 30p HD and a pan-cake EF-s 12.5mm (20mm) prime will be a great P&S.

A 24-70 II w/IS, which I have pre-ordered already.

Are you serious Where did you pre-order?

Canon DSLR with high ISO (3200/6400) as good as (or better than) the D700. Pop-up flash, something better than 9-point AF. FF (16+ MPs, 5+ fps) or APS-H sensor (14+ MPs, 7+ fps). Doubtful that Canon would put an APS-H sensor in a non-pro body.

Now, about that pony I also wished for ...

Canonrumors.com claims it'll be a 60D and a new rebel, both with 15MP sensors and articulated LCDs.

I've heard that the announcement will be the 8th. The 9th sounds plausable though. I have no clue what is going to be announced though.

Canon usually make their new product announcements on Tuesdays.

I'm wishing something like a pro body with APS-C 1.6x sensor, cheaper one. I don't like battery grip.

EF500L IS F4 with 5 stop IS at 7.5 lbs.

7D

I'd like a real professional body with optional grip - without Canon's typical/usual corner cutting.

A replacement for the 5d2 would be a distant second choice, but if they just improved every aspect of the current model it could work...

$8K please.

I'd like to see a 12-24 fast WA and a 24-70 with IS.

Maybe also a small Oly PEN (i.e. not dSLR) type body with an ef lens mount.

35L mkII?

Good to see a reasonable viewpoint

Do you really think the cost would go up 2K?

Plastic lens on new lenses ...imagine 500L f/4 IS as light as two 24-70Ls combine together

The 7D is the fit.

I imagine they will "officially" release the 70-200 2.8IS II

If they rearranged the button layout of the 5D2 to be the 7D, and the put the 7D's AF in it...haha, sweetness!

Make it 5 fps with a pop-up flash & flash control, and I am there.

I forgot all about the pop-up flash! haha.

As much as I've used my 7D's pop-up flash (never), I still wouldn't mind if a 5D2/3X54 had one. That would be alright!

5FPS would definitely be welcome

Given the limited rumors, I'm not expecting much other than the cheap stuff.
