Most annoying product launch ever (assuming it actually launches)...

I like taking pictures of puppies... now I'll be able to make wall sized prints.  (Just thought I'd lighten things up a bit.)

I agree... you should leave Canon and sell me your primes in a fire sale!

I'm always amused by the artistic purists that fail to understand that Canon is a business that supports our creativity.  The ability for Canon to market glass to photo & video means everyone gets better glass and we get better support from a leading brand.  Many of the technical issues can be satisfied for the majority of the market's needs -maybe not those here- but that IS a good thing for everyone... even the artistic purists.

Like many here, it's easy to see that Canon management needs to better collaborate within their product groups to ensure continued success.  I hope they get it together for everyone's sake!

I'm with "eyeone"... they should be embarrassed that Sony beat them to this launch.  Their cam & lens businesses are HUGE.  IMO, this is a clear indication that management is "siloed" into parallel universes.  What a shame!
