Does anyone have a clue when this will happen? I’m buying a 17-40 and I need it soon, so I want to know how long to wait and if the rebate is worth waiting for. Anybody know?

when it comes to marketing, canon is a leader. and they did do viral marketing in the earlier camera releases. But this time, since canon had bad pr about the AF, any clue before the release would trigger massive discussions about the AF, which canon would not prefer.

The 7D rumormill was great it turned into posting after posting of debate between the full frame and sub frame camps. As a manufacturer what more could you want as far as pre-release excitement?

Re pre-announcement leaks for the 7D: if you read this website, or Northlight Images, etc…you were able to see pictures and an accurate spec list from Asian web sites, etc…

There was no shortage of info re the 7D going into the final weekend before its announcement.

my problem is with the general attitude that people have developed feeling they are entitled to accurate information ahead of time, all the time, and that any time they don’t get it, that constitutes a website or organization dropping the ball. these people are the same people who make little effort to understand how the camera works and why it functions this way.

with the exception of Nikon and possibly Sony, no other DSLR manufacturer has Canon’s desire or need to keep such secrecy about its products. for everyone else, early leakage of mystery products can allow for hype build-up that can carry them to deeper market penetration. case-in-point: Olympus EP-1. however, for Canon, especially given the disproportionate (but well-directed) criticism it has received over the last generation of products, excepting the 5DMkII, pre-hype leads to excessive consumer expectations, leading to both disproportionate and sometimes baseless criticism about new-release products.

Canon has proven with the 7D it can plug the leaks — I followed a number of international websites that have in the past come through with accurate specs before product releases, and not a single website convincingly posted the full set of 7D key specs until just shy of the announcement. if they can do it for the 7D, they can do it for the 1DMkIV.
