Rumor has it that Canon will not be making any new Canon DSLR camera announcements for the rest of 2011 as CanonRumors has just reported.

According to the site which focuses on speculations regarding Canon technologies and information, most insights they receive fail to imply a Canon’s DSLR announcement for 2011. This further suggests that a new full frame body from Nikon is also not on the cards

Furthermore, the nonexistence of any media preparation as a marketing advancement for a 5D mark III or 6D such as what was prepared for the recent launch Canon's 40mm macro and 50mm f/1.8 lenses and judging from the number of events for the much anticipated mirror less camera which undoubtedly give nothing or even subtle proofs of its launching further suggest that a new full frame body will not be announced any time soon

Although they have added that there are definitely numerous rumors of prototype bodies out there, these bodies are not expected to be announced or even released until 2012

CanonRumours suggests that the reason for no new Full Frame body this year is simple, following the Japanese Tsunami Canon wanted to ensure they could meet the production demands of Christmas without having to ramp up for a new product such as the rumored to be released Canon EOS 5D Mark III 

It was also flatly said that “Canon will announce a new camera when it’s done and not a minute before”. Having said that, these last few statements made it not certain of the said rumor for one fact that Nikon always have a new product released in the October-December timeframe.
