Press Invite March 2nd

[tt]

With an iPad 3 announcement on March 7 the following Wednesday - hmmm.
Preorder isn't going to need the full amount, 5D3 could be a while - slippery slope thinking!

I'm not sure - but I think one issue I raise is the NDAs
Could Canon actually extend the NDA end date?

This was a french invite that was translated on one of the threads. It read something like: keep this invite confidential, don't tell anyone, "speed and quality" - event invite March 2nd.

So this could be it guys!

link, picture, anything?

I'm trying to find which thread it was on and which page. This is taking some time as some threads have over 40 pages. It was a small post in French that was translated into English.

Here is the link to the french forum with the post:

http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php/topic,3651.15.html

I had a read through the remaining pages in the thread with google translate, and not one person has remarked about it at all.  I'd say it's pretty bogus.

Found on a french forum http://www.eos-numerique.com (from an unknown source called fpy) :

"INVITATION PERSONNELLE ET CONFIDENTIELLE
NE PAS DIFFUSER, NE PAS TRANSMETTRE
A 9h30 vendredi 2 mars"


Google Translation :

"PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL INVITATION
DO NOT RELEASE, DO NOT SEND

At 9:30 am Friday, March 2"

There's no picture on this post, unlike for the D800 launch:

So no way of judging veracity. 

Even Keith Cooper is now doubting March 2nd, because of the lack of evidence for press invites:

Of course, Canon could simply do a "LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y.  March 2, 2012 - Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, is proud to introduce..." with no worldwide press events, but...

I know the people who are taking care of the launch on Friday... plus my fishing/lobbying skills are immaculate.
