Canon EOS 2000D

According to Canon Rumors, we would be on the verge of seeing a new Canon SLR camera. Under the name of EOS 2000D (Canon EOS T1 on the US market), it would be an entry-level camera allowing Canon to position itself in Summer or Fall for the sales of the end of year.

The supposed features would be:

• 15.1 MP
• 7 AF points
• 3 fps
• ISO 100-3200
• 3″ ClearView LCD (Not Articulating)
• 720p video (30 fps & 24 fps) – NO 1080p
• SD card
• USB 2.0
• HDMI Out
• Video Out
• LP-E5 Battery

Canon is rather discreet in these times. But 2009 will not end without several important news. What can we expect? Two reflex cameras are about to arrive.

• A successor to the 50D, the Canon EOS 60D, probably at the end of the year (will it be ready for Christmas? I doubt it). Again, it will only be a small evolution of existing products but not the technological evolution that the Canon enthusiasts keep dreaming about. A new battery, 15+MP, 7 fps, 1080p video, SD memory cards (no longer CF).
• As always, Canon is preparing its best and most shocking news for higher up in the camera range. Even without rushing to another Full Frame camera, the successor to the 1D should arrive to bring ground-breaking progress in the field of light sensitivity (in private, it has been nick-named “The lord of darkness“). Still in APS-H size, it would have two Digic V processors, 16+MP, perfectly usable 6400 ISO (maybe more), 19-zone AF, video, LiveView, all-weather protection, 100% viewfinder, more than 3 inches of LCD screen (maybe 3.2″). Clearly, this will be the best technology Canon has, but the price will be definitely pro.

After that, a Canon EOS 2000D could arrive in Fall with a tilt-and-swivel LCD screen. But nothing more in terms of informations/specs.

The rumour has it that June will be the month for a new Canon entry-level SLR photo camera: Canon T1 / Canon EOS 2000D. But no specs yet.
