Announcements Coming this Week: 5Ds, EF 11-24mm f/4L, and More

We are expecting an announcement, at the end of this week, of new bodies and lenses. In addition to the widely leaked high-megapixel EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R, we’re told by reliable sources of two new Rebel-series bodies. One of the Rebels has a top-plate LCD, as was leaked in recent product photos — we’re excited to see Canon push the Rebel line a bit more up-market.

On the glass side, the widely-anticipated EF 11-24mm f/4L USM specs and photos have been leaked, but we also hear about two new non-L lenses at the same time or shortly after: the 50mm will finally get its refresh, as will the aging 70-300mm.

As with all leaks you should take this with a grain of salt until the announcements are said and done.

To get notified the instant these items are announced and available for pre-order (we’re told availability is in late March / early April on the EOS 5Ds), you can set them up here:

    Is the anticipation of the 11-24 why the sells for the 16-35 have been so sluggish?

    Im worried what the pricing is going to be for the bodies. 1DX or 5D Mark III prices?

      In the high $3ks, slightly higher than 5D Mark III’s intro price.

    I’m looking for new full frame camera, so I guess I gotta wait after this weekend.
