Sony and Canon seem to be having a price war on similar camera today.
Consumer wins!
Why has the G7X gone down to $329 already?
Rumors have just surfaced that the new Canon rebel in mid 2015 will have an electronic viewfinder…this may mean that Canon is going mirrorless?
Canon are at least 2 of not 3-4 years behind in mirror-less.
They are just starting to experiment with EVFs, you’ll have to wait looong for your favourite company, Canon, to make a decent mirror-less camera.
And then wait for a lens line up be populated for years.
So if you do not think my guess is correct check todays Canon rumor sites and tell us what other reason there might be for a EVF on the next Canon rebel in q2 of 2015?
I’m not saying your guess is not wright, but that based on this info it looks like they are at least two years behind Sony in mirror-less tech.
Nex has been around longer than 2 years.
Because it is a rumour Barry, you take every other companies ‘rumours’ as gospel yet every time there is a Sony info you take it as garbage. Canon will be shooting themselves in the foot if they go mirrorless now, dual pixel AF is not sufficient to replace dedicated PDAF despite your claims that Canon will ‘own mirrorless’ due to compatibility with their existing lenses, their ‘compatibility’ isn’t great, dual pixel AF isn’t as good as SLT or SLT adapters, doesn’t work with all lenses and doesn’t work very well with the vast majority of lenses. So an EF-S mount rebel without dedicated PDAF will be crippled in the lenses it can use, just like EF-M.
Plus the rumour is ranked CR1. It isn’t a news site Barry, come on wake up!
Well the canon C100, c500 & c700 have EVFS and EF mount so Canon has the ability and tech already to do it. Two years prior to the a7, Sony released the VG900 which featured a full frame sensor (a99/a7 sensor) with the e-mount opening proving full frame was possible for NEX and it debuted in a video-oriented body.
I think it makes sense for Canon to do that with the Rebel line and Nikon with the D3xxx and maybe D5xxx line. If nothing else, it will be cheaper to produce, fewer parts, less mechanical calibration and easier manufacturing.
Barry, I’ll offer your some advice. You really don’t want to visit Sigma Rumors today. Bad news on Sigma 150-600mm release date. Add in standard wait for Sony mount and I guess the good news is you might have a nice Christmas present. For 2016. ;^)
Well, the good news there’s a 50/50 shot at a release around this Christmas but typically when I hear 50/50 the coin flips the wrong way for me. Odd how statistics works for me personally.
I think they may be talking xmas 2014
If the new Canons have the high res Sony sensor and/or high res Canon sensor and SLT or mirorless
Then I can get the Sport in Canon plus the new camera.
Or if Nikon puts a high res Sony in a good new camera I might be able to get the lens in Nikon.
Some of the new info is ambiguous and I have asked Florent for clarification.
Oh, I boo-booed. Meant Christmas 2015.
There’s many reasons for why Sigma would get the S version out so much earlier than the C but I wonder if they want early adopters to scarf up the far more pricy S version only to find out 6 months (or whatever) later the C version is just a nice IQ-wise and lighter? I doubt it because Sigma has to think long-term sales but it is curious how they’re handling the roll-out keeping the C’s MTF super-squirrel secret and all.
Yeah, I don’t know what to tell you. If Tamron were to come out with quality matched teleconverters for their lenses the decisions get even tougher for you. The one thing I like about my 200-500mm is how well (relatively speaking, of course) they’ve managed to keep down the weight while keeping the build quality solid (for most serious amateur needs). I also expect there to be a bit of a price war on the low-end between the Tamron 150-600mm and the Sigma C. You might see a $50-150 price drop which would be nice.
Since many people will buy whichever they can get first I think there may be a production race between Tammy and Siggy.
I ordered once from BigValue on Ebay and they sent me an empty box.
Not recommended.
That empty box must carry some seriously big value…
While this sounds nice, I wouldn’t settle for this but opt for the mark 3. The EVF is just too cool and the lens control ring feels much better on the 3. Oh and AUTO ISO IN M Mode. Selling point #1.
However, the rx100 original for this price is just too awesome to ignore. Good value for money.
Agreed. Can’t wait until next year when the RX100 III is remaindered out at this price. I’ll jump on it then. Eye-level viewing is a sine qua non.
