CanonRumors hears that the sequel to the T1i, to be named the T2i, will be announced next week, packing a redesigned case, selectable FPS for video and a better LCD. Try to control your budget-minded excitement.
The full list of proposed changes:
• New LCD (Even Higher Resolution)
• Selectable FPS (Video)
• New build quality and shape for a Rebel
• No articulating screen
• New battery LP-E8
• New battery grip
That’s definitely all good news, especially since the T1i is one of our favorite entry-level DSLRs—well, except the lack of articulated screen (which is kind of “meh” news—does anybody actually care about that?). Only odd thing is the name, which doesn’t really fit with Canon’s typical naming structure: The T1i was actually the sequel to the XSi, which in turn was the sequel to the XTi, so “T2i” is possible but not necessarily likely. Anyway, we should see sometime next week when this thing is supposed to launch. [CanonRumors via Crunchgear, image from Crunchgear]

Camera rumor site Photorumors snagged a pair of images today that purportedly show two new Pentax cameras, yet to be released. Seen here is the Pentax Optio L10. Below is the Optio H90:
The images were obtained with the help of Google cache, as they were almost immediately removed from the retailer site where Photorumors found them in the first place. Little else is known other than what we see here, but Pentax sure loves its whited out cameras these days, no?
A third, nameless camera was also spotted, but there was an issue with the image download, and it was lost. Lost until we know more, anyway. [Photorumors]
