A Swedish Web site, Kamera and Bild, has quoted Canon Sweden executive Robert Westin as saying the camera maker plans to launch new products on January 24, a week before the Photo Marketing Association trade show begins. That prediction is about as hard to make as figuring out if General Motors will share news at the Detroit auto show, but it does give us an excuse to venture our suspicions.
My bet (and I'm not alone) is that we'll hear about successors to the entry-level EOS Digital Rebel XTi and the full-frame EOS 5D. They're the most elderly products in Canon's SLR line, but let me offer some other data, too.
Timing is one indicator. Canon has updated its entry-level SLR line roughly once every year and a half. Canon announced in August 2006 the 10.1-megapixel Rebel XTi, the third generation of Canon's entry-level digital SLR line; the the 8.2-megapixel Digital Rebel XT was in February 2005, and the 6.3-megapixel Digital Rebel announcement was in August 2002.
