UPDATE
It has been pointed out that the people involved in the presentation are in fact from Canon Business Solutions. This makes the chance of it being an EOS product remote. CBS does handle printers though, there could be something new there for the photographer.
thanks Northlight & PDN
From Sweden
A new calculator, binoculars or something more?
Apparently we'll find out September 29, 2009.
Translation (thanks)

I don’t think it will be a camera though.
It’s a big nice box with the new 1mk4.
For Canon, it’s not “yes we can” but “yes we must”
Perfectly translated. Native speaker – as your name suggests. Thanks.
That better not be some friggin’ copier. :)
If you read between the lines, it clearly tells you to bend over and be prepared to take it deep. Once again. Or maybe it’s just a box of 3.5″ Amiga Workbench formatted floppies with a new firmware for the 5D Mark II.
It´s danish btw.
OMG A NEW APC PRO FILM CAMERA!!!!! WINNAR!
standalone direct print button
prints random stuff via wifi on all printers in range
Danish-guy:
Definitely swedish!
And, read the translation above – the things about digitized/connected future doesn’t really trigger my ‘camdar’.

Color Dot Matrix Printer!

brown box??
are they announcing some major cost savings cuts/layoffs or are they announcing some major “we are recycling” green campaign.. ? heh heh
chants: “1d 1d 1d 1d mark four!”
+1, even though I hate this meme.
It’s the next generation of the Selphy CP790, but instead of it looking like a children’s port-a-potty it will resemble bathroom stalls at the office and have a new Touchless Direct Print Button that activates when you hold your finger in front of it.
I can’t believe that a real Canon PR announcement would have such a poor alignment of text to the image. Their designers are better than that….especially in Sweden?
This image is obviously fake…
Swedes are slow, it’s the launch of Canon 7D in Sweden.
Amiga’s rule! 4,096 color HAM pictures beat the pants off 14bit RAW files no matter what anyone else says!
lol.
APS-C Dedicated Prosumer Video Camera!
It has to be 5d Mark II firmware!!! What else could possibly be in a box of such size??
if it takes EF glass without an adapter that would be sweet
Looks like a rather large box for a camera…
Fake.. But I wish it wasn’t :(
Since the cloth is red, this must be their answer to RED (lazy logic) :p
Clearly not Danish. It’s Swedish and noting else.
Is it the camera meant to take on RED?
Ya, but what year….didn’t we just have a rumor in Aug….that went by with nothing, because it was from 2008…
Just a thought.
It’s oly a printer. The only printer that can print images from the camera that’s taking the RED head on. Camera release date 2013.
How big is the box? What in that image gives scale? :P
We may be slow, but that box doesn’t contain a DSLR, unless it’s presented by a stripper. Which, after all, would be a possibility in this country of tall, blond beauties… ;)
I think it’s a portable MRI.
OMG I almost exploded into laughter in the middle of class reading that!
It’s one big Master Direct-Print button. Once pressed, all Canon cameras in the world will simultaneously print the most recent image to the closest available printer! Better stock up on your ink!!!
It could be a huge box with more than just 24/25p!!
It is a new camera type. No ccd, no cmos, no lenses, no iso. Only dp buttons (2, one for right and one for left hand).
Probably Canon 7D Mark II :-)
digital cinema camera?
Canon goes medium format. watch out, here comes 50MP ;)
its a microwave that takes pictures, has build in gps and wifi and cab make calls
With a new version of VideoToaster!
It is a red tissue to clean your lenses, and a box for birders to climb on for extra reach.
Maybe it’s a… Hoax?
It could be Nikon taking th Pi**
On a rumor site? No way
thats fast, 7d isnt even on the shelves
Canon has found Waldo, killed him, and stuffed his carcass into a box.
Hey, some of us like copiers! And calculators.
I so want MOAR!
It’s the new Pictbridge specification: a piece of wire with a direct print button at each end. If the financial crisis worsens, and Canon have to cut costs, the wire will be replaced with string with no discernible impact on function.
Future-proof technology, it’s a winner!
With lenses that drop their pants at 24MP? This should be fun, unless Canon is presenting the world with a new range of lenses as well. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Last time I read “most important launches in the company’s history” it was Nikon launcing a digicam with WiFi.
Let’s hope it’s something more. There are really only three options.
1. Fake
2. A new 1D-series camera
3. Canon’s response to mTF.
About option 3. Read the last sentence on this page:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/Leica-X1-pre.shtml
I hope that it comes with the standard features as standard, I’ll be really disappointed if I have to by a standalone DPB for that sweet honey!
TFFT! Anonymous had me worried for a moment there!
Its a Video Camera that can take photos!! hahaha!
Looks like a gold box to me.
They’re selling Nikon stuff…LOL
Or a video camera…
a new camera that can also be used as a mobile phone! =p
Perhaps a public apology for cramming even more pixels into the APS-C sensor of the 7D?
I hope, as one of the folks here said, it’s a Swedish striper !!!!!
This would be rely nice :P
I would crap myself if they made that. But i wold only buy it if it supported use of the direct print button, and sold a direct print button add-on for my 1D3
if by fake you mean a bad cgi rendering then yes
Actually the top of 1Ds boxes are usually mostly gold… matches they Ds’ gold nameplates
I think it’s definitely a video camera, designed to compete with RED, as the post here on Sept 6th suggested.
The red blanket covering the box is a poke at RED (or it could just be Canon’s usual brand color….but that’s no fun!).
Yeah, most likely.
Sweet Jesus, yes it would. Who cares about the Mk IV.. Give us fit busty Swedish strippers!
Perhaps RED is a poke at Canon’s brand colour. How’s that for circularity?
I suppose you meant 1.6-crop Medium Format ?
Studio birders need the extra reach.
It’s excellent. Gold star for you!
hmm, a camera that can take photos? zero credibility.
“a microwave that takes pictures”
Do you mean an Iphone? I call it the brain toaster.
No it’s gonna have the microAPS-H sensor because of its low noise & low MP to compete with medium format because everyone here knows crop is better and larger sensors are an abomination with crappy ISO DR IQ so with the new medium format lenses it will be an amazing 10x crop for birders and athlete’s zits fans due to the fact it will only use the center part of the glass elements.
So… Do you liiike stuff?
Its a new pro video camera to replace their aging HDV line.
Obligatory:
“Kameloso.” The Danish people need help from the UN.
this is a rumors site, nota a crecibility site.
I think it would be nice to have the name typed correctly:
CEO Jouko Tuouminen -> CEO Jouko Tuominen. Sounds quite Finnish name to me =)
APS-C film camera. That’s exactly what I thought! :)
The 1DMkIV will definitely be a nice thing but not the “largest/most important launch” in Canon’s history… Muuuhahahhahahaaaa. :)
Has anyone noticed the lack of XL zooms up on Canon’s pro video page? There’s only 1 listed now, I thought there were 3?
I agree with the new video camera theory…
Perhaps a Red one “killer”
it’s a Hair Dryer.. !!
APS-C sensor video camera….
that will be groundbreaking…
Maybe so. I noticed today there’s only 1 XL lens on Canon’s video page. I thought there were three before, so maybe something new is coming video-wise.
The scale of the packaging is difficult to judge in the picture presented.
Personally I am thinking it will be Canons answer to the Segway and an attempt to corner the adult “Personal Transportation Device” market.
it will wash your rear like a japanese toilet too
Or an eco-electric vehicle to compete with the Smart car?
A new 1 series camera presented by a Swedish stripper.
That works for me on so many levels.
Canon would have my attention.
Insert attempt at humor here.
Its the new 1D series.
It would have to be a talking direct print button
It could be the largest calculator in history.
A Canon lemon meringue space-station, perhaps?
It’s a new camera! Quad Digic 4! 30fps in burst mode with only enough cache to hold 2 pictures (after that is counting on the speed of your SmartMedia card).
New bigger sensor that is 1.6 crop from a medium format (with the same pixel density as the 5DM2, that’s why we can only fit enough cache for 2 pictures)… which with the current lens line up.. you will be be for sure getting those favorite vignetting that everyone try to put in LightRoom!
other than the RAW, mRAW, sRAW.. we now have the ssRAW, sssRAW, ssssssRAW … smallest size is 240×240. perfect for the MSN/facebook profile picture shots
[CR0]
It’s a new proffesional video camera, based on the DSLR. Note the similarity of the red curtain to a movie theater curtain.
video camera with FF sized sensor..
My prediction: it will be an event focused on the convergence of still and video photography…if it is a 1d4 this model will have a lot to offer in the way of video.
And yes, I think one reason to use the red cloth is to take aim at RED.
and have the strippers give us mk IV’s to take pictures of their act ;)
ssssssRAW for facebook …..I should have thought of that.
Do you think they would integrate this with the direct print button to simplify the creation of passport photos?
It’s a camera so awesome, it gets a boner for you.
It’s a full frame fridge!
i agree… will definitely take a stab at RED. especially if they got the AF working fast
The bottom of the box looks typical but the top of the box is really rounded. Hmmmm.
It is a cardboard box that will be the largest pinhole camera ever made and will be recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records!
You gotta love the Canon marketing strategy.
Sony makes their announcement, and Canon starts leaking info about the 7d, and steals the buzz.
Leica makes their announcement, and Canon starts this leak to steal the buzz.
Canon seems determined to keep themselves front and center.
Of course it must be the 10-400 f/1.4 IS lens that everybody has long been waiting for.
Well, remember that when the 5D2 firmware was announced, it used Red type font or whatever and said something about “EPIC.”
Absolutely. I’d get one of those for sure if it came out under $4,000
it’s just a video camera with full blown DSLR capability…
It’s about time!
Canon is merging with nikon!
f/1.2*
Actually, it’s a 64, yes 64 bit animal that will revolutionize dynamic range
Canon vacuum cleaner!!
http://englishrussia.com/?p=2260
It will be the new CANON Playbox!!!! Better than a Wii and a Poo combined!
And binoculars
C64 was better for pirating games with their TAPE system. Awesomeness from the 80s.
Your collection of “artistic” pictures, now easily shared with all.
IT’S A PHONE I TELLS YA!
CAPS LOCK TOLD ME! IT MUST BE TRUE~
No, it’s a REAL!!! fake box thingy.
yay.
The red thing is Canon RUmors Guy’s best underpants
You’re just slow (your wit that is).
Cinema Digital Camera I SAY!
Records video at your local cinema with ease. Just right for the Russian Pirate~!@
I didn’t read through all the comments but want to point out that if anyone bothers to look at the Canon Sweden site that Monika Forsberg is the Canon Business Solutions marketing director, therefore, I doubt she would be involved with a camera announcement, which would be the realm of the Canon Consumer Imaging.

I’ll only buy if it goes down to 4mm (FF) at the wide end. I want to shoot my foot and my head at the same time!

I think we’d all stand to attention for that!
I’ve had his mother. She’s crap in bed…but those army boots really do it for me soldier!
I’ve had his mother. Hubba-hubba I love the blubber.
I’ve not had his mother. But my girlfriend has.
It’s a tit. Just like you.
Actually, the only ‘buzz’ that Canon are creating are on sad-bastard rumour sites like this. If Leica are presenting real products, that’s where most people will be looking.
Besides, there’s only wishful thinking, among those of us who have nothing better to do (or do have better things to do but they’re too boring), that it’s a (video)camera.
It could well be any of the other market segments that Canon is in.
Ahaha
I’ve been to Scandinavia, that tall blonde beauties thing is an outright lie. They’re all overseas.
Canon will announce that they’re shutting down. They’re all just going to stop what they’re doing, turn the lights off and go home.
That ad looks pretty horrible. I don’t think its real. But Sept. 29th sounds legit.
*Sigh can’t afford a 1Dm4 and I don’t really want a 7D. Argh.
Well, she’s blonde, but I suspect that she’s had help from a bottle there.
Shut up you idiot. Can somebody permanently ban this guy from the site? Thanks.
It’s the 1DmkIV.
No it wasn’t. X-copy on the Amiga was all you required.
Why so often do people on this site have to behave like immature cretins?
How original. Can somebody please ban this guy permanently?
True.
Not funny. Lucky for you that you posted that anonymously.
Not funny. Just stupid.
Not funny.
Get out of here you mindless creep.
Why laugh at your own unfunny joke? Is your life really that pathetic?
Don’t ever post here again you creep.
This site must have the most pathetic wit I have come across.
Unfunny cretins like this on here are pushing me towards Nikon, simply because I don’t want to associated with them.
Can people keep the extremely unwitty posts to themselves? We are not on here to read pathetic attempts of humour made by vagrants. We really need some active moderators on here.
+1 million billion
We’re here to read serious rumours from unidentified sources!
And don’t forget the fantasy wish lists! The “I think the new [blah] will have [blah]…” posts. Who could not want pathetic attempts of humour made by vagrants when you can have baloney made by other vagrants?
But RAW isn’t a supported image format for the web, so you’ll still have to post-process to JPG. How about PNG as a native in-camera file format?
We’ll miss you, John, and your level-headed seriousness. But … getting over it already.
Say ‘mwah’ to the noinks for me!

Why are you berating people who don’t give a monkey’s what you think? Is your life really that pathetic?
Or what? You’ll go ’round to his house and rip your big girl’s blouse off in the street?
It’s that or work, John. You can’t have both. Why do you bother coming here if it’s all so distasteful to you?
That or work? Do you have no ambition at all in life outside of peasantry?
I am here is discuss rumours and nothing more. There are more cretin-like attempts at humour on here than there are serious opinions. If I want humour, I’ll go to a comics site, as opposed to reading the attempts of the childish morons on here.
LMAO
Of course not! Peasantry is a worthy ambition in itself. What’s your excuse?
Discussing rumours isn’t much of an honourable pastime though, is it John? You make it sound so worthy.
Most of these rumours are vapour fleshed out with fantasies. Get over yourself. Seriously.
SERIOUS DUDE!1!!!!!ELEVENTYONE
I know, it is a new vest that has printed on the back, “No I do not want to see your high ISO images on your D3” or what if it is a vest that instead has a list of every camera body that canon made that kicked the snot out of Nikon digital body? The would be awesome….
no no no… I need 10-500 f1.2 geez everyone knows you need a 90 lb. lens that come with a swedish body builder to move it arond on the sidelines… now if only the lens would have direct print buttons????
and Leica makes that much buzz with press and wedding photographers, right???
there is no evidence of a direct print button yet, to me it looks more like a fridge or whatever large home appliance. and that can still have a dp button, for example to show u whats in the fridge without having to open it or remotely via wifi so that u know what u need to buy from the supermarket before going back home.
mmmh, that would allow it to print VIDEO (something 7D is lacking!!!) very fast, printing out each 1080p frame in different printers!!! :D :D :D
You’ll see, may not come out this year though
It isnt the box its the cloth!
Canon bought the ShamWow and are releasing a version in Canon-Red!
…and John. It is a little hard to have serious conversation about a box covered in a red cloth. The rumor its self is somewhat entertaining. What serious thing should we be discussing?
I suggest you remove that rascist remark at once.
Well look at the size of your head, and that houses a pea sized brain.
No, is yours?
LOL, finally some humour that works.
99% of the users of this website are little gossip munching sad bastards.
I am in the 1% who is not and believe me – there are not a lot of us.
PMSL.
Whatever it is, I hope it is not a huge letdown like the Nikon event early this year.
Remember? Something BIG is coming! Yah…

Perhaps with an EF mount? That would be rockin.
WE ARE NOT WORTHY!
It’s a direct print direct print button!
Canon: “Hey guys, we heard you liked direct print, so we put a direct print button on your direct print button, so you can direct print while you direct print!”
Actually, John, that’s very funny! You made this serious dude laugh.
It’s John Swan’s sense of humor.

Get over yourself John.
Will a moderator please step in here and deal with John?
His constant ad hominem attacks against other posters is making this environment very hostile.
Yet another ad hominem from John..
John, an easier solution is that you piss off.
Just when you think that Canon only develop incrementally, finally proof that they can push the envelope! This is TRULY exciting!
It’s a video camera that captures 10mp stills.

Because it was a derogatory comment based on nationality. Racism doesn’t have to be about colour.
OTOH, John Swan (or someone pretending to be him) comes across as a mirthless little toad. His comments are best ignored or enjoyed for their (possibly intentional, possibly unintentional) humour.
Photon Paint alone blew anything the C64 could do away, plus it had The Music Studio, Pools of Darkness, The Colony, Deep Space, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, FA18, F40, Indiana Jones, Ports of Call, Zany Golf, ThunderBlade, Out Run, Alien Syndrome, Shinobi, AfterBurner and best of all…Zork 1-3, Beyond Zork and Zork Zero.
It’s a video camera. The XLH1 comes in a brown cardboard box.

The new camera for huble. US$ 10,000,000,…
If it is the most important announcement in Canon history then it must be medium format! The first medium format camera with direct print button! :p
This will not be a new photography gear.
The CEO for Canon in Sweden mainly works with the business side like copiers and large format printers.
If it’s consumer news like cameras the Nordic Consumer boss Ingvar Krüss is present along with the Nordic Communication Director Magnus Nilsson.
stupid babies need the most attention!
And what’s with the outdated vocabulary? You remind me of Mr. Burns.
Did nobody realize how fake this picture is….?

Oh yeah! Delicious!
the box is too big!
its a video cam or a medium format (but also for medium format its a big box).
Yes !! A Full Format Calculator !!!
but nice triple alliteration
it´s a cardboard box, you don´t see? just under the rag.
Teleport machine, with direct print button.
yeah, it doesn’t look like a camera box at all and a 1D4 would not a historical event for Canon as a whole where cameras are small.
I think it’s almost certainly a pro film camera, see RED vs. Canon post a few days ago.
It’s not going to be on the still camera front (I don’t think) – any new camera would not warrant the teaser.

It is the new Canon featuring a revolutionary feature: Dual print buttons :D!! WOW!
I think some are reading too much into the box underneath, like it’s supposed to be a clue. Perhaps it’s just supposed to be a cardboard box to serve as a prop for the red cloth…clearly, it’s not the box any product would be packaged in.
Its a new state of the art television with several direct print buttons.
Obviously that giant direct print button is a fake, Canon knows video is the wave of the future (their executives have seen The Aviator hundreds of times) So duh, it’s going to be a direct broadcast button that will send the video you just made to any nearby TV set. Have heard from a CR2 source that it MAY also directly burn DVD or Blu Rays to wifi compatible burners, they’re trying their hardest to get it in
That or they’ve just bought out RED

John Swan said it, it must be true. Like his mother.
Your mother is rascist… or is that racist?! I can’t work out if the all knowing ban machine known as “John Swan” would ever make a spelling mistake.
Your mother is a spelling mistake.
I also is good enrish get. Yes.
John swan, you’re entirely too serious to enjoy life so by all means go join the Nikon gang. They’re a serious crowd for serious people who have serious conversations about serious equipment in serious tones. Seriously, fcuk off. Is that serious enough for you John Swan?!
Back to business as usual. I think it’s John Swan in a box.
Posting the same comment here and in the forums, that’s LAZY! :P
I’m also posting anonymously. I am a giant humorless turd that could never be polished enough to go to the princes ball. Therefore I’m sitting at home crying as mice and little birds do all my work.

No funny, someone ban this guy forever for posting something I don’t like.

I am the ULTIMATE TROLL!!!11 yes.

I see what you did there John Swan, funny. No really, very impressive. Never has such a high degree of uncontrollable hilarity ever been bistowed upon a forum. Keep up the good humour.
Ps. How’s the Nikon lot treating you?
You’re the idiot that uses a dead language like latin, you jerk.

Not funny, please remove that racist remark and ban yourself forever you infantile jerk.

Ha ha ha! I love infantile humor. MOAR DIRECT PRINT BUTTONS!
Someone please ban me.
With John Swan lacking all wit, I guess you’re a super judge of that.
Get off my lawn you meddling kids!
I’m sorry, I’ve been a total douche bag. I just want to be serious about everything in life and when others say funny stuff, it makes me mad. Since I’ve been stuck at assitant-junior-vice-manager at a Russian McDonalds for the last 20 years I’ve gotten use to pushing little childish morons around (until they leave, join the army and come back to beat me up).
I’m off to go to a nikon site now so I can whine like a little girl at everything.
Bye!
Taste good with cheese.
Obviously not all John’s posts are actually by him. Trolling can be fun and anyone can post as J.S. anytime they like.
Like this post right here, obviously written by the real John “I love you all” Swan.

THE REAL JOHN SWAN!
I’m not a fake, no way… I’m not some un-funny cretin like you all!
Hello to all, this is my first post on the form so I’d firstly like to extend a warm greeting to all the readers and users.
After the excitement of the 7D, something that people have not been discussing a huge amount is the lenses they believe will be most suitable for this camera.
We all know that the 70-200 f/2.8L IS is the supreme ruler of the zoom lenses – the one must have lens for all serious photographers. But even this is rumoured to have an update this fall – and much needed too I might add, if Canon wish to keep up with the latest offering from Nikon which I have been hearing really positive things about.
So what lenses are offered on the wider end of things? One must bear in mind that this is probably going to be the most important lens you buy, being your typical “walking around” lens. Ok, consider the following:
EF 24-70L f/2.8
EF-S 15-85 IS f/3.5-5.6
EF-S 17-85 IS f/4-5.6
EF-S 17-55 IS f/2.8
Firstly I would like to say that I am not, and have never been in favour of the EF-S format. I personally do not like buying lenses that cannot be used on my full frame camera body, although I do accept that the APS-C format is hugely important to Canon and have to face the unfortunate fact that I am in the minority of APS-C body owners who also own, or will ever own a FF body.
So back to the lenses. Ok, I need to say this – many on here who know me and have read my posts already know that a long standing motto of mine has been “if it doesn’t have an L it can go to hell”. For the sake of this topic, let’s just put that aside for now as I am ready, for the first time, to consider alternatives for the 7D as I really believe this is an amazing camera and love not just the speed, but also the reach that the APS-C format offers.
EF 24-70L f/2.8
For an L lens, the overall quality vs value for money is extremely disappointing. Yes, there is nothing else I would put on my FF right now, but for a newby buying a 7D, I simply would not recommend this lens. Firstly, the equivalent reach of 38-112 is nowhere near wide enough (unless you are also planning on purchasing the much revered EF-S 10-22). Secondly, lenses like this in todays market have got to have IS in order to be an attractive purchase, and this one isn’t, which is a huge disadvantage. Hopefully Canon are already working on a new version of this as it is really badly needed.
EF-S 15-85 IS f/3.5-5.6
I have not seen any reviews of this lens yet. Yes, it is nice and wide, and it has IS, but with an f/stop of f/3.5-5.6 this is just not acceptable for low light photography (despite being better than the previous offering of f/4 at the wide end) and therefore comes with some quite severe limitations. If I am buying a lens like this, at the very least I want for it to be able to keep up with my 70-200L f/2.8 IS in low light.
EF-S 17-85 IS f/4-5.6
This is being replaced now anyway, but it is a really horrible lens and painfully slow to focus. Hopefully the new one will be much better than this.
EF-S 17-55 IS f/2.8
Finally – is this the best walking around lens for use with the 7D? The simply answer is YES! There you go, I have said it – for the first time ever I am recommending the purchase of an EF-S lens. Yes ,this looks and feels like a lump of plastic, but it’s great in low light with f/2.8 throughout the range and with IS, this lens should be purchased alongside a 7D body only.
To conclude:
The recommended basic lenses for use with the 7D are as follows:
Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS
Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS
Canon EF-S 10-22 f/3.5-4.5
Extra notes:
– Watch out as we may yet see a 70-200 f/2.8L IS II released before end of year.
– If a new version of the 24-70L comes out with IS, this would be the recommended alternative to the 17-55.
I suck
The Neutral Observer loves this stupid comment system with no control.
The Neutral Observer is a joke
John Swan has a bigger one than The Neutral Observer ! With more DP buttons too !
The Neutral Observer is John Swan’s father.
John Swan has no sense of humor
Looking in his pant, The Neutral Observer thinks it is not only the box which is big.
Keep cool Klaus. Everyone thinks it is too big. It only hurts the first time.
The 70-200 F/2.8 isn’t the “supreme rule of zoom” lenses – in fact, unless you absolutely need the extra stops of light, the F/4 IS is a better lens.
The F/4 is sharper, has better IS, and costs ~30% less.
Relax and open your legs
John Swan is gay
Oh, and the 70-200 F/4 IS weighs about half as much as the F/2.8.
The Neutral Observer thinks we should start a rumor on John Swan
John Swan has one little DP button… frustrating.
But there is only ONE The Neutral Observer. And I observe … neutrally.
a walkaround really depends on who’s using it. I use a 10-20mm mostly on my 30D, and honestly the lens I’d love to have for a walkaround is the 17-40L. weathersealed, and if I upgrade to a FF it still works as a — holy smokes — 17-40mm lens
I love YOU! Kiss me, kiss me NOW!
hahahaha if there’s one person on the web more annoying than John Swan, it’s quite probably Ken Rockwell
To clarify, I suck men’s ding-dongs.
Not funny, you un-funny cretin. Please someone, ban this anonymous poster who could be anyone in the world. I’m really that dumb, yep, sure am.
366 posts, 300 of which relate to John Swan
200 of which are from me, John Swan. The only person here who isn’t an un-funny cretin, who should be banned.
MOAR DIRECT PRINT BUTTONS FTW!!1111oneeleventy
I agree about the 17-55; it’s a great lens for any crop camera, and it has IS.
However, I also agree with Joe on the 70-200 f/4L IS…it’s better for most people than the f/2.8 version…far easier to carry around, and several hundred dollars cheaper…and sharper to boot.
Here’s a thought: for about the same price as a 5dii body one can buy the 7d body with the 70-200 f/4L IS lens…or the new 100mm f/2.8 IS macro
Not funny you un-funny little cretin
Wally you un-funny immature little cretin.
“Adult” you sayy?! Woo Hoo!
No, MOAR SERIOUSNESS plz!!!11
No, I detest the EF-S mount and all it stands for.
Wahhh Wahhh! Let me suck on something! Wahhh!111
That’s because that wasn’t really John Swan. Just one of the multitudes using his name in vain. (Like ME, the REAL JOHN SWAN!).
Last night you didn’ t say that. ;-) :P ;-P
That’s a huge box of printer paper
$2 for you sweetie. *kiss*
Is it EF-S? you un-funny infantile cretin!
MP3 player
with a physicaly resizeable full HD screen
Maybe it’s the president of Nikon’s head.
Just kidding, of course ;)
More than 100 matches to “John Swan” in my search
Google “un-funny cretin” and you get this thread. LOL
Come on. I hate to say but it can be wireless Laserjet printer with DIRECT PRINT button builtin, which can be called latest and greatest launch also.
Not funny, you un-funny cretin. Please ban yourself.
Yes, because you use latin as well
(although you ignore it)
Something more is revealed again :

Good Joke!
Its bigger than a medium format camera, is canon going into netbooks? Flat panal TV’s to rival sony as the printed image is less popular. I hope its not pda phones but samsung and HTC are already major players that side of the world.
But “largest and most important launches in the company’s history” this suggests a new direction with mass appeal so networking may not be the new product range.
I’d like web TV devices but don’t think its this either.
Some new flat panal monitor technology is my guess!
Sh,t..
ends on: …on
meaning: only ONE direct print button!
come on Canon we need at least two.
:-)
Hmm, the shape looks too squarry and since teaser photo is not of an package, it’s not likely that’s it a camera. Probably something with 3D or so….
I am waiting for an upgrade of the key L-lenses.

So pitty for the poor brand-minded Russians…..
Which part of this statement is untrue? It is a joke, life is too short, take it lightly.
I’m a bollock
Hey, take that back, or I’ll moderate your ass outta here!
Good Johan, you just repeated the article…
Are you stupid or just… stupid ?
Dream BB dream…
i hope its a video.camera.. like red. or smilar.
with FF :D about 5000-9000 $
merry x-mas
cheers

Do you want me to leave a pointless link to the forums boss?
mmmmh, nice!!!!, couple it with an EOS EF mount and it will suck all your sensor dust
No, just come back to bed darling.
That’s not funny you unfunny cretin. You’ll get us all banned!
You may be that dumb, but I’m not!
Stop impersonating me right now. I know you’re not me, and I am John Swan!
Hey, there IS control. I can moderate your messages whenever I like. It’s just that…just that… ….ohhhh Rebel you’re so biggggggggggg
They should all be banned, John, except you and I. Shall we hold hands darling?
Why do you bother Rebel? We’re having such a lovely time here as it is!
Sorry, you must be an american. I was born in a country where I received an actual education.
Does it really matter what it is, as long as it is presented by a tall blond stripper?
Surprise surprise a new lens mount, would be time i guess…
lol… this is out of control
Hey John, u’re actually better doing this than mocking pple around! please post something like this more often, it’s great for someone who’s here to actually research their next buy.
so cheap!
are u for real?
I actually think that John is doing a favor for this website.. people furious at him would just be itching to keep checking back what he actually says to add to his previous comments (which… generates traffic for this site) lol XD. Just leave him alone, whoever he is or might be… its probably childish of us to reply back to him… why be angry at someone that we dont know? we are seeing no one but a computer screen right?
Plus, we dont know who John really is, there could be multitude of them impersonating John… but hey, only the real John knows…
it’s a printer that prints 30pps… :D
Tamron 17-50mm is the best APS-C lens I’ve ever used, and I’ve tried a bunch! I absolutely love mine and it stays on my camera 85% of the time . . . sharp throughout all apertures and whole zoom range (even sharper stopped down!), great build quality (although not L quality), and you just can’t beat the price!
MODERATORS! I DEMAND THIS THIS GUY BE BANNED!!!1!!1!!!!
John Swan loves you all! Mwah!
Not funny. Leave this post immediately.
Not funny. Can we get back to a serious discussion of this rumor please? All the unfunny cretins, leave now.
Only if we can discuss it seriously without interference from unfunny cretins.
Unless you’re going to call Swedes a race (which would be moronic), the original post wasn’t racist. Or even “rascist”.
Okay I´m going to break the NDA: in reality it is a calculator (ca-550D MKII) with Direct Print button (it works with Canon Pixma printers) and also features KS (keyboard stabilization) when you have to do accounting on a sloppy tables, the screen where the numbers are has automatic light detection so you get the same shade of green regardless of the light source you use.
*studio ** lol
ROFMLAO… Ken Rockwell.
lulz.
How long did it take you to think of that and write it? Wouldn’t your time have been better spent wiping your ass before you committed it to keyboard?
Canon Rumors guy is a clueless jerk
No, he just translated it dunderhead.
And stop impersonating me or I’ll have my lawyers on you.
Nice one Anonymous! Swedes are vegetables, everyone knows that!
I second that!
stupid cretin
The only thing that’s obvious here is your cretinism! Please don’t come back.
You’re such a kidder Arch. Don’t give up the day job, we cannot afford for stand-up comedy to gain so much from garbage collection’s loss.
Perhaps I am, what’s it to you cretin?
It took all of last night, I watched the tendency of Canon´s product launch in the past 10 years for this date, cross compared the data with the competitors too (going 10 years backwards) then I used the data in a lamb sacrifice to a demonic entity to get the results, I have shortened 25 years by doing it. Finally Canon contacted me and made me sign a NDA (the demonic entity ratted me).
I have 12 variants of this answer if you want more then reply :D.
And while we are on the topic: how gay of you to talk about my derriere :P why don´t you mind what you do with your own derriere? :D
29.97 pps please. Lets uphold the standards.
ROFLMAO!!!!
Nope, that’s actually a common misconception. Swedes actually fall in the the legumes family.
The problem is the 70-200.
It is Overkill for EF-S. It is expensive, heavy and huge. No I dont have one, I have a 100-400 & 70-300 for long lenses and they arent exacly a perfect solution and are both slow.
I keep considering selling the 70-300 on ebay and getting the Sigma 50-150 2.8 but the reviews are discurraging.
Cannon needs to build:
EF-S_50-150_2.8_IS ~$1.1K.
EF-S_150-500_4-5.6_IS ~$1.2K
If they existed I would seriously order one now and the other with the money I would get selling my lenses above on Ebay
Oh, how hilarious. Please, don’t give up the day job, or come back.
NOT FUNNY. Don’t post here again or face the consequences.
Do not post here again. I do not appreciate being mocked.
+11
This is seriously unfunny. Do not post here again or you will be sorry.
Peasantry is a long tradition of the John Swan family, going back many generations.
Not funny. Hope you weren’t planning on becoming a comedian you cretinous blob.
Does it have to be a Photo related thing?
Maybe a SED TV?
Being the invitation is from Canon Business Solution it could be a lot of things, a super multi copier/laser printer as an example.
I think the problem so far is that the people are to much of a tech geek clinging to get a new non existant camera instead of shooting with what´s available, thus they are gullible to think every expectation campaign will be the camera of their dreams (which it will never exist).
The only thing that’s sorry around here John is you.
Turnips, actually, like your brain.
Waldo in the UK. Wally is a reference to man’s best friend, and I don’t mean his dog.
You wally.
No, I AM TEH real John Swank.
The wrath of SWAARRRNNNNNN!!!
But I do, I loves being mocked it makes me HAWT!
Not funny, you unfunny cretin, please ban yourself.
AND don’t come back.
Are you?
oh so somebody cant take a joke here, hhahh thats a shame
Here is what they were really woking on!
http://www.greenmuze.com/green-your/space/1314-the-photocopier-chair-.html
What the hell is an APC pro film camera? Armored personnel carrier?
So here we have a deranged individual replying to himself for hours on a Canon rumors website. The Internet is full of surprises.
Yes I have an insider source at Canon Japan and he talks a lot about TV these days…
I really hope the announcement is that SED televisions are coming – but I’m not holding my breath …
it’s a new portable image runner laser printer!
It has to be a video camera. They want to beat Red out the gate. While Canon can’t please the high-end red shooters, they can sure reel in all the rest of the Scarlet audiences:
Video camera body with dual-digic 4 processors— a DSLR that’s meant to shoot video, but it can also take stills. Something that can record onto a drive, so no CF cards. It will still be a lossy codec and not as good as Red’s, but the selling point here is to prosumers, independent filmmakers, and event videographers that want HD with a shallow DOF. And, if they were smart, it would mount EOS lenses.
I’m not a product designer for Canon, but if they don’t release a Red-similar video camera, then whoever is telling them what products to make should be fired. Hire me!
might be multiple products. Cameras to copiers, tv to computer systems.

HP and Canon in managed multifunction printer JV
Two traditional rivals in the multi-billion dollar business printing industry – HP and Canon – are to join forces to sell multifunction device technologies and support services to the business and enterprise market.
HP and Canon said last night they plan to jointly market and distribute a new range of multifunction office systems that unite the best of both companies: Canon’s leading multifunction devices and HP’s enterprise printing and imaging assets.
The alliance builds on an established relationship between Canon and HP, and positions the companies to offer customers a new class of web-enabled solutions that combine Canon’s multifunction device processing and imaging systems with HP’s device manageability, IT integration and office workflow capabilities.
The alliance’s software and service offerings will be supported by EDS, an HP company, along with Managed Print Services from HP and Canon’s global services and support groups.
The alliance includes current and future product portfolios from both companies.
“HP has long been an industry leader with a portfolio of products, software, services and solutions that enable enterprise customers worldwide to improve their imaging and printing efficiencies without compromising the reliability, quality or professionalism of their documents,” said David Murphy, senior vice-president, Imaging and Printing Group, HP.
“In growing our relationship with Canon, to offer customers value-added and more holistic IT solutions, we are confident organisations will enhance productivity with their imaging and printing and overall business workflow needs,” Murphy added.
Canon and HP will also benefit from access to each other’s management and third-party development software portfolios, including Canon imageWARE Enterprise Management Console and Canon MEAP as well as HP Web Jetadmin and the HP Open Extensibility Platform.
The expanded portfolio of products and services is expected to be available to customers in North America and Europe, as well as global customers from these regions.
“Through this new alliance with HP, we look forward to bringing the advantages of Canon’s high-versatility, high-performance multifunction products to an expanded user base,” said Masaki Nakaoka, managing director and chief executive, Office Imaging Products Operations, Canon Inc.
“We expect this will maximise benefits for both companies’ customers while also paving the way to increased growth for both Canon and HP.”

So what happened?…nothing? Canon Rumors fail.
Many people have alos become fans of Paul Smith Shoes since they came into the market. I also one of them , I very like Paul Smith Wallets and <a Paul Smith Belts,It designs very good.
Well, the post is really the best on this deserving issue. I agree with your conclusions and will eagerly watch for any incoming updates. Simply stating thanks will not just be sufficient, for the extraordinary clarity within your writing. I will quickly get your feed to stay informed of any posts. Admirable work and much success in your business enterprise!
My husband travels for just a living. Extra times than he would care to count, his organization has booked him into a hotel which does not provide cable Tv. Last year, although surfing the web, he came across a site the allows him to Watch FlashForward Online. Now he has one thing to accomplish on those nights when he is bored. This makes me very happy as there were nights when he would go out searching for one thing to accomplish. He would often spend extra out within the town than he had made that day. His work is to bring money in, not spend additional than he makes.
