Another possible EOS digital SLR from Canon. Just another Canon camera model number?

This page covers all our EOS 8D info since we started collecting it…

Yes, you’ve found it, the Canon EOS 8D page.

Latest Info

2018 April

13th A suggestion [CR] that Canon may bring in a model between the 7D mk2 replacement and the 80D replacement.

How about an 8D with ~70MP, which would be the rough APS-C equivalent of Canon’s 120MP APS-H sensor ;-)
Well, here’s the Canon timeline – am I going to have to insert a new row in it in the DSLR area…

Dates for the start of new models are announcement dates. Canon have had significant variations in launch and availability dates around the world, and have carried on selling superseded models.

Links are to detailed reviews of the printers (for 44" reviews see the 24" versions).

…of course, it could be the EOS 9D or nothing at all.

2016 June

24th A mention [CR] that there may be a new ‘nameplate’ coming and 8D sounds as good as any ;-)

2014 August

22nd Looks like we’re getting a 7D mk2 next month. No fancy new sensors this time round…

2013 July

17th Another on-line shop posts some specs for an 8D

“Body features: APS-C size digital SLR
Effective pixels: 16.2 million
Mode of operation: full manual operation
Video Interface: AV Interface
Flash Type: External
External flash (hot shoe): Yes
Focus Points: 45 points”

As with the majority of ‘on-line shop leaks’ I’d suggest that a very big pinch of salt is taken ;-)

2012 September

17th the Canon 6D is announced (20MP full frame)

March

26th No mentions since 2010, but now there are suggestions for a lower MP ‘introductory’ FF camera at CR

2010 December

27th Just when I thought the 8D was forgotten, it mentioned in someone’s predictions… [DPW]
Unfortunately I suspect it’s a 7D mk2 wishlist :-)

2010 August 22nd

No mention of the 8D at all in the last year

2009 September 9th

No information whatsoever, so move along…

A new EOS camera…
