Fresh Canon EOS Rebel SL3 / EOS 250D / EOS 200D II rumors surface

Canon EOS Rebel SL2


New details have emerged of an upcoming Canon EOS Rebel SL3, also known as the EOS 250D, EOS 200D II and the EOS Kiss X10.
Nokishita has stated that the upcoming model has been registered by a Russian Certification body. It goes on to say that the camera is the successor to the Kiss X9 – the name given to the Rebel SL2 in some territories – and that the model will be officially confirmed this month.

Details have now emerged of the camera's specs. The model is said to pack a 24.1MP APS-C sensor and Canon's latest DIGIC 8 processing engine. That partnership is said to allow for 4K video recording to 25/24p – something we've not seen on a Canon DSLR aimed at this audience before.
The cheapest current Canon EOS DSLR to feature 4K video recording is still the EOS 5D Mark IV, although the option has been included in the company's PowerShot SX740 HS, as well as the EOS M50, EOS R and EOS RP mirrorless models – and of course, in the company's Cinema EOS range of cameras.
Other specs are said to include a version of Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, which is present on the existing EOS Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D, although the system here is said to offer 3,975 "positions". Given that the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system on the most recent EOS RP offers 4,779 points, this figure seems credible.
A Digital Lens Optimizer, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth also feature, while the option to extract 8.3MP stills from 4K videos – something we've seen elsewhere in Canon's 4K portfolio – also looks like it will make the cut.
Leaked images of the new model reveal that camera will mirror the Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D in offering a port for microphones and another for remotes, together with USB and HDMI sockets on the other side. The camera also looks set to be available with the same 18-55mm f/4-5.6 II IS STM lens as the EOS Rebel SL2, although kits with additional lenses are likely.
The model would follow the Rebel SL1 / EOS 100D and Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D that were announced in 2013 and 2017 respectively. Last year, Canon added a more junior Rebel T100 / EOS 4000D and EOS Rebel T7 / EOS 2000D pair of DSLRs to its stable.
The release date for the EOS Rebel SL3 / EOS 250D / EOS 200D II is rumoured to be 25 April, so we may well see an announcement confirming the camera very shortly.

Our Verdict:

☆☆☆☆☆
From the Guided UI and revised exterior design to the fast AF system and responsive touchscreen, this is a camera that feels great, and appears to perform as we'd expect it to. It’s small, light, easy to use and responsive – if the image quality proves to be up to the same standard, Canon will have another smasher on its hands.
 FOR
  • Smart finish and very good handling
  • Super-small and lightweight
  • Fast and responsive in operation
 AGAINST
  • 9-point AF system is somewhat basic
  • High price – at least for now
  • Hollow-feeling shutter release button

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
