Canon Rumors:

New Firmware [CR2]
A mention of a new “important” firmware for the 5D Mark III was mentioned as coming sometime in June. No mention of what would be “fixed” or added to the camera.
Mirrorless [CR2]
More mentions of a mirrorless announcement in June. Launching with 3 lenses with a public “roadmap” of what would coming for the system down the road.
Photokina [CR1]
A few other mentions that Canon would make a “big splash” for Photokina in September. If the mirrorless is already available, not sure what that would be.
On a Photokina note, I’ll be there in Cologne to check out the new wares from Canon and the rest.
EF 24-70 f/2.8L II Availability
The lens will be available in July from a few people. There is “no risk of more delays”. Initial stock will be good, but there will obviously be backorder lists for a while.
Preorder at B&H & Adorama

The big splash would be the new afordable FF body or the highest megapixel body.
For the last few years Canon strategy really sucks; so no more big splash.
If you'd ask me, the big splash would be a new increase of prices.
Ricku:
Lets hope that "the big splash" is a new sensor with greatly improved DR capabilities. Something to match or even beat the D800 sensor.
If it is over 35MP, that would also be great, but not very important. The important thing right now is that Canon wakes up and get their act together when it comes to sensor advancements, especially low ISO read noise.
Ricku:
I'm glad to see that the mirrorless rumor has moved up to [CR2]-level.
Fingers crossed for a full frame model! (Not very likely to happen, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway.)

Maybe Canon will send me a bill for $250 for the 5D3 I bought in March as part of their price increase strategy.
