Canon prepping a new Rebel, possibly named the 500D?
The new Rebel will be launched June 23 along with a new EF-S prime. The lense will be a 30mm f/2 with an EF-S mount. Canon held off on the originally planned 500D release due to the economy and waiting to see what Nikon comes out with……… They have a couple designs of the camera ready to go.
If we were the speculating type, we would state that this 500D will probably come equipped with a similar, if not identical, image sensor as the 5D Mark II and might even pack the HD video recording mode that made the Mark II camera such a hit. But then again, we don’t like to speculate like that.
