Canon EOS 60D, 6 Lenses, 2 Teleconverters:

Today Canon has announced possibly the most anticipated and rumored camera ever, the 60D, as well as 6 new lenses and two teleconverters.

Highlights for the EOS 60D include an 18 megapixel sensor with base ISO range of 100-6,400 (extended range to ISO 12,800), a new 1 million dot tilt/swivel LCD, and full HD video (1080 in 24p, 25p or 30p). The max frame rate is a reasonable 5.3 f.p.s., and and it features a 9-point AF system. The camera should be available towards the end of September, with an M.S.R.P. of $1,099 (body only).

As for the lenses:

  • Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM - available January 2011, approx $1,400.
  • Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM - available Late October, approx $1,500.
  • Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM - available December, approx $7,000.
  • Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM - available December, approx $11,000.
  • Canon Extender EF 1.4x III - available December, approx $500.
  • Canon Extender EF 2x III - available December, approx $500.
  • 500mm f4L IS II - prototype will be at Photokina, no word on pricing/availability.
  • 600mm f4L IS II - prototype will be at Photokina, no word on pricing/availability.

Nikon is expected to announce the D90 replacement in the next few weeks (likely called the D7000), which should be priced about the same (the D90 was $999, rumors put the D7000 anywhere from $999 to $1,199), so these two cameras will be going pretty much head to head.

Canon EOS 70D Latest Rumors:

We've added a new Rumor Center for the Canon EOS 70D, tracking and ranking all the latest rumors.

With the 60D announced on the 26th August, 2010, the Canon xxD line continues. At some point the 60D will be discontinued, and presuming there isn't a huge model-line shake-up, the most likely candidate for replacement will called the 70D. Cameras in Canons xxD series have lasted anywhere from 12 to 24 months, so that puts a potential 70D anywhere from summer 2011 to summer 2012. We'll track rumors here as they start to emerge.

Nikon D3100 and Four New Lenses:

The heavily rumored Nikon D3100 is now official, complete with 14mp sensor and focusing during 1080 video capture. This makes it both the most advanced DSLR video offering from Nikon, and the highest pixel density (meaning more pixels on target for telephoto users), despite being the bottom of the line camera effectively replacing the D3000.

It's still hampered by the slow 11-point AF system the D3000 had, but even so highlights how much the rest of the DX line needs updating (it out-specs the D5000, D90 and D300s on both megapixels and video).

As for the 4 new lenses, we have:

  • A new 85mm f1.4G (new optical design, AF-S focusing, nano coating, misses VR, but adds about $400 to street prices over the current at $1650). The current 85mm f1.4D is a lens I use a lot, and my only minor complaint is focusing speed when taking sports pictures in badly-lit gyms. For its main use as a portrait lens I'm personally very happy with my current results - this may be a lens I'd be interested in down the road if the focusing speed is noticeably improved.
  • An AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR, for 55-200mm users that want more reach. At $399.95 it is slightly cheaper than the excellent 70-300mm lens, and is presumably smaller since it works only with DX sensors (unlike the FX compatible 70-300mm). If it is up to the 70-300mm optically, this could be a very nice lens.
  • The AF-S 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR for FX users is roughly equivalent to the 18-200mm for DX users, so a good lens for people who don't want to change lenses. Will likely be popular with a lot of consumer D700 users, but any lens with that focal length range (almost 11x) is going to have a lot of compromises optically. M.S.R.P. is $1049.95.
  • Being a constant aperture 5x zoom, the AF-S 24-120mm f/4G ED VR should optically be a much better walk-around lens for FX users than the 28-300mm, plus the extra 4mm on the wide end make a huge difference for street photography. Pair this lens with the current Nikon 70-300mm lens and you should have a very capable and relatively light-weight setup. M.S.R.P. is $1299.95, but for a lot of D700 and D3 series users, this will become their primary lens.

Overall a good step for Nikon - the D3000 didn't exactly set the world alight when it was announced last year, but the D3100 looks to be a big step forward, and instantly becomes Nikon's most advanced DSLR video offering, and highest pixel density camera.

For DX users, the 55-300mm should be a very interesting and affordable lens.

For FX users, the 85mm f1.4G is a specialized lens, although the current lens is superb, it remains to be seen how many people will upgrade. The Nano-coated 24-120mm is effectively a must-have for any prosumer or pro that wants a lighter walk-around lens that performs. The 28-300mm is for the more consumer oriented FX user that doesn't like carrying extra lenses and doesn't mind the f5.6 maximum aperture at the long end.

All three rails are made in the U.S.A. from 6061-T6 Aluminum, and feature a durable black anodized finish. The rails are all Arca-Swiss compatible, and feature a 'double dovetail' design giving two clamping surfaces (so you can clap to the top or bottom of the rail).
