Canon EF 100 f/2.8L Hybrid IS Macro
Hot on the heels of Canon’s announcement of its Hybrid IS technology comes the first lens to sport this feature and, to no great surprise, it’s a 100mm F2.8 macro. The Hybrid IS system is claimed to provide up to 2 stops stabilization at 1.0x magnification, and up to 4 stops at longer shooting distances. This, Canon’s third-generation EF 100mm F2.8 macro lens, is also the first to gain the flagship ‘L’ designation and comes with such goodies as ultra-low dispersion glass elements, a nine blade circular aperture and weathersealing. The Canon EF 100mm F2.8L IS USM macro will supplement, rather than supplant the existing 100mm F2.8 USM macro. I plan to buy as soon as it is available in India.
Check out this article from DPreview or from canon site for more details.

Canon EOS 7D
Canon has announced the EOS 7D, a 17.92 million image pixel digital SLR that fires at up to 8fps, sports newly-developed 19-point AF and 63-zone metering systems, a dual-axis electronic level, wireless TTL control via the built-in flash and 1080p video in a body whose controls are more configurable than any EOS camera to date. The EOS 7D is Canon’s most ambitious new digital SLR in some time, and is clearly meant to attract professional photographers as well as compete directly with Nikon’s D300 and D300s in both features and price.
