Maybe a Hollywood centric camera but im guessing probably a full DSLR Video Camera HyBrid, so that the camera can be adopted ito even more movies and TV shows.

<strong>“Canon is making an historical global announcementâ€
</strong>So what does Canon have planned for November 3, 2011? Something big apparently.</p>
<p>I would say this event is NOT for an EOS or Mirrorless camera system, the city it’s being held in should be a giveaway. I expect something new and exciting for the cinematographer.</p>
<p>We had <strong><a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/09/more-ef-pl-video-rumors-surface/">this rumor</a></strong> a few weeks back about a November announcement.</p>
<p>4K camera? An EF compatible video camera? Something to compete with RED? Something to compete with Sony & Panasonic? I’m sure we’ll be learning more before November 3, 2011.</p>
<p><strong>Project Imagin8ion
</strong>It has been suggested by a reader that the event could be related to the <a href="http://canon.thismoment.com/">Project Imagin8ion partnership</a> with Ron Howard.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone that sent this in.</p>
<p>via [<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/canon-plans-hollywood-event-ready-to-roll-out-the-red-carpet-on/">eg</a>]</p>

Exciting, and only 7 weeks to discuss it!! ;-) Whatever cameras they announce, I would bet USB 3.0 is involved somewhere.
With it being Hollwood, makes me think Paparazzi, glam, and for some reason high-end DSLRs.
Looking forward to this "Historic Announcement".

Okay, paging all trolls . . . for once, a topic I can get behind certain individuals that give the raspberries to anything that doesn't mention an $8k camera . . .
Gentlemen, before you pounce, I agree with the impending "big fat hairy deal"
Seriously, a new A and Elph would be much more promising . . .

One might hope for 5D3. The new Digic V sounds like it might be fast enough to do 24fps with full, proper, sampling over the entire 21-24MP sensor which would give the video world's better resolution, less noise and far, FAR less moire/aliasing than the 5D2 video and might even top out the $$$$$$$$ top line cinema cams (of course it might be 8bits per channel and with much worse compression that what you can get out of those).
Although maybe it's just the new camcorders.

We actually know that it's anything BUT a camera announcement date.
Anyone remember the link for Project Imagin8ion on the Canon site? This has to be that. And they would never announce two things big like that together and have the publicity undercut one another.

sorry to burst peoples bubble, but i have the inside track and its not going to be camera at all, its going to be the release of the two light weight professional pl mount canon zooms for use with many alexas, epics and other highly professional hd cameras, plus they are going to have a hefty price tag.

Whatever it is, I probably can't afford it. If it is a FF cinema camera, I doubt that it would use EF lenses.
Cinema quality lenses are a whole different product than EF lenses, with a price to match. Thats why they are usually rented.

Except this will be a Hollywood, CA event, while the Imagination event will take place in New York, so it doesn't seem to be it (not to mention that they've already announced that one).amarlez said:
Who says they're aiming for the ultra-expensive cinema camera market, though? That market seems to be quite well saturated and there can't be much profit to be made there, at least compared to consumer products. On the other hand, the 5D2 has proven that many amateur and indie film-makers don't really care if the camera and lenses they use are "cinema quality", as long as they get the work done and are relatively cheap. So I wouldn't be surprised if Canon really does come out with an EF mount video camera because there seems to be quite a huge market for something like this - a market Canon themselves created and where there's (seemingly) hardly any competition.Mt Spokane Photography said:

And a instead of an. It will probably turn out to be hysterical anyway.
Korg pulled this stunt not to long ago only to reveal another revamped version of their tired keyboard line.

My thoughts as well... the cinema world is an ambitious step, and I might say that it's even too ambitious for Canon the Consumer Company.
Even though the EF L series lenses can look nice on video, the step up is definitely visible on the pro cinema lenses ranging from 5k dollars and up a piece. If I indeed did invest in something in the range of RED or Alexa, I would never humble myself to use anything less than Zeiss CP, and most likely I would try to find the finances to step it up one or two notches.
On the other hand... maybe Canon is just blowing out steam to avoid people running away from their aging Eos series to one of the competitors... like Sony or Pana
It would buy them some time to get closer to the Ds and mk III release and have people "uuuuuuhhh" and "ahhhhh". Never underestimate fanbois.

Hollywood event means something related with cinema and cinematographer. So it has to be something big, since canon pl mount lens are available already. And Project imagin8ion ??? whats that "8" doing there with imaging ? 8k project from canon. canonrumor.com traffic increases this two weeks I suppose.

I think it will be a video camera of some sort.
Could be the next 5D3 also since the 5D2 was a very revolutionary video camera.
I work in TV in Los Angeles and the 5D2 was definitely a revolution. The high end stuff is mostly shot on RED and Alexa, but the Canons are used a lot on budget stuff. Several years ago, I worked the NBC rebrand (which is on TV about 100 times a night). Most of the cast from all the prime time shows were shot with the 5D2 and this was a very high profile, huge job.
In fact, I would say the 5D2 is much more revolutionary than the RED because it brought interchangeable lens HD to the masses. PLUS, it's the ONLY full frame video camera so it has that really sexy look.
So yeah, the 5D2 and 7D has made a huge impact on independent films and lower end broadcast stuff.
As for the people who discredit EOS lenses for high quality video, why would RED make an EOS mount specifically for the RED Epic? It's because you can get great results on EOS lenses that won't kill your budget.
99% of people cannot buy PL mount glass and Zeiss CP lenses are also really expensive. It's very nice to own a set of lenses that you can use at any time. PLs and Zeiss CPs are lenses you have to rent because of the price, so you can never just walk out the door and shoot something.
So for the rest of us, EOS is a great, affordable video lens option. And TONS of great videos have been made with EOS lenses in the last few years. Just look at Philip Bloom. He's not alone as there are many others who don't worry about prestige and just shoot with what they have.
If Canon is smart, they will come out with something more affordable, yet close to the RED and higher end Sonys in specs. Then, they would do really well. After all, 5Ds cost a lot more than Rebels, but I bet Canon makes a lot more revenue off the Rebels than the 5Ds because of sheer sales volume. I think that's what Canon should do. The 5D2 was a perfect example of decent camera that cut into the high end REDs because of a good price tag. Of course the RED is better, but the 5D2 is good enough in many instances.
Just fix the dreaded moire pattern, make it 422, add 1080 60p, a bit more detail in the video and I will be happy. That's not asking for a whole lot. Sony has already done it (minus the 422)

yes, canon PL glass has already been done, so it wouldn't be "historic"
http://nofilmschool.com/2011/04/canon-announces-pl-mount-zoom-lenses-pl/
so my bet is EF-mount video camera, and I hope it’s good enought that they don’t feel they have to cripple the video functions of the 5D3, for which I’d say the time is 2012Q1
oh, and by the way, my hopes for the 5D3 are pretty close to what gene_can_sing said: clean image (no aliasing/moire), better codec (422 XF), better low light (clean ISO 6400), and 1080p60

Why does it take so long for Canon to announce the 1Ds MKIV?
I honestly start to think 1Ds series is EOL.
and i wonder where trolls like you come from. :
canon could sure release a new 1Ds modell every 18 month.
but to make big improvements the development process needs time.
who wants minor improvements on a camera that is so expensive?
i mean face it.... 80% of you guys who scream for a new 1Ds have not the MONEY to buy it anyway. and that is the simple truth....
