Canon DSLR Buying Recommendations


Email Page | Comments

Below are our current recommendations for purchasing Canon cameras. Please note, these recommendations are speculative, and are based on a combination of our opinions, the prior release history of cameras from Canon, and in some cases rumors we believe to be credible.

See Recommendations for: Nikon, Sony


DSLR

Recommendation

Buy From

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III:

Recommendation: Wait

Reason: We expect the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark IV to be announced within the next couple of months. The Canon EOS 1D Mark IV announcement was last October (10/20/09), so the 1Ds Mark IV could be any time.

Released: Aug 29th, 2007

More Info: Overview, Reviews, Price History

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV:

Recommendation: Buy

Reason: The Canon 1D Mark III had a production run of almost 3 years - if the Mark IV is the same, don't expect a replacement until 2012.

Released: Oct 20th, 2009

More Info: Overview, Reviews, Price History

Canon EOS 5D Mark II:

Recommendation: Buy

Reason: The original EOS 5D was announced in August 2005, more than 3 years before the 5D Mark II was announced. If the pattern continues, the 5D Mark III won't be here until 2011.

Released: Sep 17th, 2008

More Info: Overview, Reviews, Price History

Canon EOS 7D:

Recommendation: Buy

Reason: New in Fall 2009, if Canon see this as a replacement for the 60D, then the earliest a replacement would arrive is Fall 2010. However by changing the name we suspect Canon are looking at a longer product life, the 5D series appears to be on a 3 year release cycle, so we'd expect an update in 2011 or maybe even 2012 to be more likely.

Released: Sep 1st, 2009

More Info: Overview, Reviews, Price History

Canon EOS 50D:

Recommendation: Wait

Reason: The Canon EOS 60D is probably the most speculated on camera ever to be released (some of the speculation claims the 50D was the end of the line, possibly replaced with a 3D). However rumors are heating up again, so a 60D could be announced before Photokina in September 2010.

Released: Aug 26th, 2008

More Info: Overview, Reviews, Price History

Canon EOS Rebel Xsi:

Recommendation: Wait

Reason: We expect this model to be discontinued soon, due to the recent Canon EOS T1i (500D) and the imminently rumored Canon T1 (2000D), together becoming the new Canon entry-level DSLR line-up.

Released: Jan 23rd, 2008

More Info: Overview, Reviews, Price History

Canon EOS Rebel T1i 500D:

Recommendation: Buy

Reason: One of the newest cameras in the Canon lineup, we don't expect this model to be replaced until very late 2010 or 2011.

Released: Mar 25th, 2009

More Info: Overview, Reviews, Price History

Canon EOS Rebel T2i 550D:

Recommendation: Buy

Reason: As one of the newer cameras in Canon's lineup, we expect this model to be current well into 2011.

Released: Feb 8th, 2010

More Info: Overview, Reviews, Price History

Canon Rebel XS:

Recommendation: Wait

Reason: We expect this model to be discontinued soon, due to the recent Canon EOS T1i (500D) and the imminently rumored Canon T1 (2000D), together becoming the new Canon entry-level DSLR line-up.

Released: Jul 2nd, 2008

More Info: Overview, Reviews, Price History
