This is a Canon "community" site -- meaning most everyone here is a consumer and does not work for Canon. Canon does have moderators here, but those "in the know" are generally not permitted to speak of such things.

In other words... we all have to rely on the rumor sites and can't provide any reliable guidance. Sorry. 😕

Yes there is always a "chance"? Why do you ask? Are you putting off buying one because you think Canon will update it?

I can 100% garrantee you they will. When, is the key word. So, if you want a top of the line camera go get it today and start using it today. Look at all the shots, adventuers and experience you are missing by waithig.

Er ... I'd say that depends a lot on what equipment he's using now. For all we know, he may just be a disaffected, but otherwise well equipped, Nikon user!

Funny you should ask. My wife just handed me a cup.

(Day off today, using up vacation time.)

You're right! And she's a pretty good photographer too.

Whoa, stand back, another plus. Mine couldn't even turn the camera on.

Her most quoted line is, "Is that real or did you Photoshop it." "You did, I know you did."

The level of 'trust' has flow the coop.

I believe the applicable word is "perceptive".

Shortly after we were married (almost 50 years ago!), Martha's Sears-Roebuck 35mm camera broke. So I asked her what kind of camera she wanted to replace it. Her answer: "One that can use your lenses." That policy, incidentally, is one that we've maintained into the DSLR age. We started with twin XTi's and have continued on from there. But as it happens, it was our daughter who recommended we go with Canon. (We had been Nikon users in the film era.)

Bob from Boston we hit the 48 year mark last time.

Hallmark was 100% Nikon until digital. My dad was a Nikon user. But I went with Canon way back in the early 80's with a F1n and an A1. Still have both and both still work well.

I have a Nikon D3 currently and am looking at a D3x since they have just been discontinued by Nikon and the price is attractive. A 24mp full frame.

The main most reason to buy Canon is by far the lens line-up. There are certain Nikkor's that are extremely good but as a whole the Canon line wins hands down. I have been fortunale enough to have or at least to try the best from either company.

I just bought, about a month ago, the ef 24-70mm f2.8L IS II. This lens is so impressive. I am truley impressed with it.

I have no doubt the combo 24-70mm and 70-200mm version II are the best lenses made, period.
