News and rumours about cameras and printers

New camera rumours and news

Cameras and printers (Canon/Nikon/Epson)

We've posted information on new or unannounced products for several years.

This page indexes all the rumours and product announcements we've ever covered.

We also provide ongoing update/firmware info for any camera we've followed before launch.

Rumours...

We receive all kinds of camera rumour info - some more believable/risible than others.

Please do use your common sense when reading the stuff here, and remember that what we've got here for entertainment as much as anything else.

A note to rumour senders - please do let us know when/if you got something right. Whilst we appreciate the desire to not say who you are, we get more than enough comments from bizzaroland and it would be good to be able to sort those with real info from some of the 'others' - a simple identifying comment is all it takes, makes it easier to spot the 'better' stuff. Merely berating our lack of psychic skills doesn't get you very far :-)

Note -anything- whatsoever ordered via Amazon helps us run the site - thanks to everyone contributing!
