Possible spec for new Canon Rebel / xxxD

http://www.canonrumors.com

A spec list we were given has the upper end Rebel split into two different cameras, a 750D and a 760D. The North American naming was not given for the cameras. We expect an announcement for a new Rebel(s) to come in the next few weeks.

The biggest thing I notice in this specification list is the 24.2mp image sensor. It has been assumed by most that any new Rebel would have the 20.2mp sensor from the EOS 70D.

Canon Rebel 750D/760D Specifications

Full HD movies, MP4 format, HDR movie, automatic shooting modes (EOS 750D )
24.2MP sensor and Canon’s DIGIC 6 image processor
ISO 100-12,800 range
Flicker Detection technology
Five frames per second continuous shooting mode
19 cross-type AF point system
Hybrid CMOS AF III
Rear Quick Control Dial (EOS 760D )
Creative movie modes (EOS 760D )
Wi-Fi and NFC
This information comes from an unknown source and I’m hoping for some clarification on the model split if it is indeed true. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of difference between the 2 models. Please notice the [CR1] rating on this post, and treat it accordingly.

I read that thread last night and laughed so hard. One commenter posted a link to a page where he had seen this information. That page had Canon all over it and links to where you can order the camera now. But, oops, the 750 you are ordering is a Nikon. Really, people, do you think Canon's new camera will have the same numerical name as Nikon's latest camera?

Notice that Canon Rumors is only giving this "spec list" a "CR1" rating... which means that even they are very skeptical about its accuracy.

Yes, this is highly speculatiive, and as Amfoto pointed out it comes with a very skeptical rating (hence the question mark in the title of my post).

To the point about product branding, not quite so fast!

For reasons best known to itself, Canon sells the same basic products in different regions under different branding paradigms.

In the US, entry level DSLRs are branded Rebel xxx, in Japan Kiss x, and in Europe XXXD.

So, The T1i, T2i, T3i, T4i, and T5i anre sold as the 500D, 550D, 600D, 650D and 700D in Europe.

Nikon has at least a D500, D600, D700 and D750 in its past and current product line up.

So, before you all laugh too hard, Don't get your Nikons or your Canons in a twist.

It may not be clear cut at all.

What we do know, is that there is a new Canon entry level DSLR coming soon, and the leaks, accurate or otherwise are beginning to appear.

I posted this, just for information if anyone was interested, and to see what we can find out.

But, it's always fun when something makes people laugh, for whatever reason.

Enjoy!
