Canon’s tiny next-gen EOS Rebel spied, reportedly with modest specs to match

Canon's 2013era EOS Rebel reportedly spied, wouldn't be a revolution

It’s virtually an annual tradition for Canon to unveil new EOS Rebel DSLRs well before the summer hits, and we’re very nearly due for the next installment. It shouldn’t be a shock, then, that Digicam info claims to have both images and details of the EOS Kiss X7, which may be the smaller and lighter EOS-b. As you’d imagine, most of the differences versus the Rebel T4i appear to be more ergonomic than technical. While there’s mention of a second-generation hybrid autofocusing system, the most conspicuous changes appear to center on a space-saving design that moves the AF assist light to the opposite side. The 18-megapixel sensor, DIGIC 5 processor, ISO 25,600 sensitivity ceiling, 9-point autofocusing coverage and 3-inch LCD all appear to be retreads — the new model would be more to attract first-time owners than catch habitual upgraders. If the details are accurate, Canon would sell the Kiss X7 late in April for ¥79,000 ($828). There’s no word on plans for the camera’s US counterpart, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see an American edition arrive around the same time.
