Maybe because you're not affiliated with the press people or any insider/PR/etc.
Media assignment notices should've been sent to the editorials by now.

Generally it's not easy for public Joes to know of any media events in advance, unless someone leaks the assignment notice somewhere online.

Polite requests to tech media are usually ignored or denied because those goons think they need to protect certain secrets or whatsoever.  (A media assignment notice is generally no secret and that everyone should be entitled to such information in advance.)

Last time I saw a Canon local press event leaked into open domain was years ago from some press forum.

if there was any press invite I am sure that it was have been leaked... We are now 4 days away from announcement (CR3) yet no invite anywhere. CR says that there is going to be something in France and Singapore yet we have not seen any invite to these.

I heard there'll be one in Shanghai also...
No invites to Fr and Sg events probably because somebody has kept those details completely offline.  But NDA?  Possible but not sure about that.

Have already sent Craig an email regarding any other leaked press assignments on Friday.

Okay, now we are 2.5 days away from announcement and there is still no press invite that we have seen in France and Singapore.

Any news on this? Normally we get a nicely worded invitation for everyone to look at and take the excitement up 10 notches!

[ramon123]

still no press invites and now we are around 60 hours before supposed announcement!

maybe you're not invited?

[ramon123]

We're all 1 family here on Canon Rumors.

If 1 person is invited then we all are!

Were there press invites released for the d800 annoucment? I know its not the same company but they might be trying to acheive the same things in regards to marketing and secrecy.

Maybe it's an IXUS event after all...

That would put 70% - 90% of this forum into a depression

well dear friends, just remember the more advancing the announcement, the more incentive Canon has to be tight lipped about it, it's boom or bust this Friday!

Indeed it would...

If March 2 turns out to be the date, well we just have to praise Canon upon a very successful seal of information leakage.

I'm terribly sorry...
