Hi All

I'm a resident of Thailand. This morning I heard about new EOS body will be released soon in a name "EOS 1v" is it confirmed in States? I don't know where they get a new from so I come to a forum to find out a clue... if anyone have a link to an informatation site please let me know. Thanks a lot.

Well, in the Canon USA web site, they make no mention of it. If anyone is going to let you know as soon as possible, it would be Canon themselves. Checking their web site regularly might be a good idea, until the money burns a hole in your pocket and you just get an EOS 5 and spend the next five months until any new cameras release taking actual pictures...

There is a lot of talk including specs on the website www.deja.com/=hp1_0999/group/rec.photo.equipment.35mm

I don't know if it is accurate but there you have it.
