60D and many items announced in DPReview

[lhnerd]

the 60D is like a downgrade of 50D in terms of build. no longer a mag alloy body. it is also say to have a smaller body than the 50D

 

[flipfreak]

Agreed! ;p

BBB! MTL! esp the fisheye zoom for u!

:sticktong
The only advantage of the new canon fisheye lens is its zoom function. Other than that it is only f4.

I still like my sigma fisheye 8mm f3.5 and 15mm f2.8 prime. More wider and lighter. :bsmilie:




Unless someone buy these from me.....I will get the zoom.





I am quite like the 70-300 though.

u can sell both ur fisheye and get the canon then. then don't need to bring 2 lenses out.

its just 1 stop slower than ur 15mm and 1/3 stop slower than your sigma.

the 70-300 looks good though. portable and weathersealed. good for travels.

70-300 f4-5.6L IS ?? Awww, dissappointing. Was really hoping more for a 100-300 f4L IS. Dunno what they are planning with an affordable L ? What is an affordable L ?

Why do I see the 60D more of a downgrade den upgrade? :think:

if u compare to the previous XXD, i guess some of the specs is lower than the previous model. but looking at how they are positioning the new model, it makes perfect sense. they are just stacking against the nikon models.

Agree! It looks just about perfect for travel. And only 1080g.

Will have to see the pricing tho....Robgalbraith site announced that its USD $1,500 - which is ard 2k SGD.

 

[neech7]

I see the feeding frenzy is on! BBB!

Too bad there is no 24-70 replacement, but I can wait.

New temptation.....8-15mm Fish Eye. I hope the cost will be reasonable. The 400F2.8II is also very tempting....err....damn.... Let see which bank I can start to rob first!

60D is US$1099 RRP, my estimation is about S$1550.

The 70-300mm looks interesting, wonder if the extra reach is worth sacrificing the constant aperture in 70-200mm

 

[slmka]

the 70-300mm is fix length lens? but cost @ 158000 yen around 2.5k

nt sure how will it compare to the 28-300mm (heavier)...

Supposed RRP for 8-15 FE is US$1,400. 400 f/2.8 II costs US$11k. Can start planning which bank to rob liao. :bsmilie::bsmilie:

I assume it should be fixed (i.e internal zoom) - that alone is a major plus point. I hate the push pull mechanism of the 28-300mm L and 100-400mm L

The MTF chart for Canon 70-300L is just a little better compared to the non L. Most noticeable increase performance in the tele end, but than if u are on a crop body that really does not matter.

But the new 4 stop IS of the new lens sure will be better, and it is also Internal focus but sadly they forget to add FTM.

:think: hmmm.

 

[slmka]

if it is a fix zoom i might really consider it over the 100-400mm, its weight and size is really an advantage also

Extender 2x III also looks attractive.

 

[JoeJerry]

Anyone here care to loan me the money to buy EF 300mm f/2.8 L IS II USM and EF 8-15mm f/4 L USM new lenses please?
0% installment for duration 20 years :bsmilie:

60D makes no sense to me. :nono:
I either get a 550D or 7D. If want a 7D but not enogh budget, I will get a 2nd hand one then. As simple as that!

Canon is a very stingy business man as usual. It offers some new features while on the other hand takes off some too. This creates more room for them to do upgrade later, hence dig out more money from your pocket!

"As with all Canon L series lenses, full time manual focus override is possible, allowing photographers to manually focus, even when the AF motor is engaged."
