Will Canon Answer the D4s? [CR2]

[unfocused]

Nikon’s extremely vague development announcement of the D4s body at CES 2014 has sparked the wrath of Canonites...

So where are these wrathful "Canonites?" I get the sense that the reaction to the D4s is "meh."

Again, I'll believe it when I see it.

Oh thank god!! The EOS T6i with an improved 18MP APS-C sensor is finally here!

Don't forget the new naming scheme - it will be the U6i.

Patience patience.. When literally every other company other than Canon is producing some top of the line bodies and lenses.. (minus Nikon)      I still have my bank in Canon.  I'm sure they'll blow all competition away very soon.  -let's be optimistic- 

Oh thank god!! The EOS T6i with an improved 18MB APS-c sensor is finally here!

I'm thinking 20.2MP sensor for the T6i.

I think they could just stop with the rebel series.  After the t3i, I don't care anymore tbh.

Why canon will stop producing its most profitable cameras? Is there any mirrorless do everything that the current Rebel, more efficiently, and costing less?

I'm not asking them to stop producing it, I'm asking them to stop renumbering it.   The T3i is a fine little camera.......but what has changed except the number?

but seriously: I read, that Canon has ordered a lot of new BIG boxes, where their Cams are stored inside.
Worlds favourite sports event appears in 2014 too...
So those of you, that are in hope that there will be an announcement in spring might be not wrong...
Chances are high that we will see something new. But if it will be a gamechanger? Let us see...

The D7100 will be to be beaten in IQ....

It's a test of faith being a Canon user, it amazes me that that progress has been so slow in the camera dept they have delivered with some great glass but where is the Landscape camera? EVF? Foveon looky likey sensor, and the list could go on. Please lets see some real innovation this year, we ahve been loyal and patient now reward us!

This is one of the funniest "rumors" to be posted ever!
Canon making strategic "leaks" to pacify its user base.

As opposed to Nikon making strategic "announcements" with absolutely no real information content. 

Regardless, I think I prefer both of the above to Canon's real (i.e., detailed) announcements of lenses and bodies with the announced availability months later, then pushing the actual launch back one or more times - that was BS.

I thought that it was generally accepted that they already have - a couple years ago in fact: the 1Dx

+1  Haha!!  So true! 

Another thing.. WHEN the 7D mark ii is announced, that is going to be the camera of the year.  Seriously, how long we've been waiting..  That's what I really want to see and I don't think I'll be disappointed.   

Waiting anxiously for the 7D2!

[Dylan777]

I'm sure you guys still remember this

To be honest, I'm one of those thought Canon going to have something in vintage as well. Last time I check, Df didn't do welllllllll

What about a Hermès Crocodile 24K version with 10 carat diamond Shutter 1DX ?

[scrup]

How is this a CR2?

Have we run out of rumors so we just pulling s**t out of thin air.

[mkabi]

IMHO, Canon doesn't need to compete with Nikon, and why should it?
Nikon can continue to produce whatever they like... if you like what they have... please go to Nikon.

Canon has nothing to prove...
They can't afford to cough up a brand new camera every year.... and if they do its going to be Rebel.
If you can afford a camera every year, then you can afford to jump between brands every year.

Fact is... Canon released the 1DX, 5D Mark 3 and the 6D, 2 years ago.
They also released the 70D last year...

May be a 7D mark II is on the way, but they don't owe us anything... so don't expect it.

Honestly, I believe the only benefit the D4S owners will see is an improved video functionality to bring it on par with the D1X, an improved AF performance, which Canon already addressed with the 1D x firmware version 2.03, and higher FPS, for whatever it's worth, once again to bring it up to speed to the 1D X, all for a price comparable to the 1D X. Basically closing the gap to the 1D X 2 years after Canon released their flagship.
