Canon Press event on may 31st

[hamada]

so i guess the CR guys are not able to get more infos?

only 3 days...  i hope it´s not only a printer announcement.

Doesn't matter if they have it or not, Canon must announce a small 30~34mm EF-S prime (for the 100D) and the 60D/7D replacement ... 'cause the natives are getting restless.

must  .....ROTFL 

[Sella174]

Yes, "must" (you forgot the italics). I may only be one, but (a) whether or not I buy the 100D (or any other APS-C camera) depends largely on whether or not Canon comes up with a small EF-S prime to match; and (b) the 60D/7D replacement is now so long overdue and horrendously under-spec'ed compared to the Nikon, Panasonic and Olympus offerings that neither they (the 60D and the 7D) nor the 6D is a viable option for me (singular, one).

I will say, I don't quite understand why Canon still hasn't made any competition for the likes of sigma's 30 DC HSM...

[insanitybeard]

I would also like to see some compact wide/standard EF-S primes! What are the chances? I've got some coins here somewhere... I'll just go and flip 'em! (the same coins that form the basis of my lens fund... i.e, minimal to non existent  )

So on the 31th they must announce a small 30~34mm EF-S prime (for the 100D) and the 60D upgrade (70D) or a 7D upgrade (7D2) or what happens?

sorry forgot the bold, italics and underline that time 

can't see the 70D being very exciting but when the 7D2 finally appears I think it may just be something very special, not on the 31st though

[Don Haines]

I think it will be Canon announcing it's first 3D printer.... and it probably comes with the file to print a 70D body and a 1200F5.6 lens....

[Sella174]

... or what happens?

Me go spend dinero elseplace ... Canon revenue one atto-percent less ...

[Don Haines]

I KNOW!!!!

On May 31 Canon will announce that the month of May will be discontinued and replaced with the month of June.

And in camera related news..... (cue crickets).....

... (cue crickets) ...

I believe even the crickets have left the building, horribly depressed.

[Pieces Of E]

Canon has just announced that they haven't made up their minds on whether to actually develop a firmware update for the EOS-M.

….. and the tumbleweed rolls silently on

Finger on the pulse as ever M.ST

Seriously though did anyone really expect a big announcement given that this rumour was only for the Netherlands
