The Canon EOS-b leaked by mistake?

Posted on 19.03.13 in the category Hardware

The latest rumors current at about Canon made the announcement next state a version of an ultra-compact housing that Reflex inaugurate a variation in the Canon range. Rumor has perhaps to be confirmed by the publication (by mistake?) On the website of Best Buy product page for a Canon EOS-b (sheet which was later withdrawn).

So here's what would be the specifications of the Canon EOS-b according to Best Buy:

• APS-C CMOS sensor of 18 megapixels.
• Screen 3 "LCD with a resolution of 1 megapixel.
• Cadence shooting 4 frames per second.
• Sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 12 800 (25 600 extended).
• Optical viewfinder coverage of 95%.
• Built-in flash.
• Integrated optical stabilizer.
• HD video mode.

Price announced pre-order of 800 USD is expensive, still the concept of having a very compact DSLR - data sheet mentions dimensions H x W x D 11.7 x 9.1 x 6.8 cm and weighs 371 grams - combining a compact size with pleasure and flexibility of a reflex camera is interesting and we will needto see the actual performance of this new camera to get a better idea.

According to Canon Rumors, an announcement will probably be 21 or March 22 at an event organized in the Czech Republic. One of these cameras may be the EOS 100D, while the name of the other APN is unknown, it could be the Canon EOS 70D or Canon EOS 700D.
