Announcement Talk Begins

The announcement by YouTube regarding 4K and VP9 codec will have far reaching implications for Canon. We saw this year that Sony announced the PXW-Z100 camcorder which shoots 4K and costs around $5500 at B&H. Now this YouTube announcement.

This says to me that Canon has to release some lower end 4K cameras and soon. You would think that the C100 would be a good candidate for an upgrade, or the XF100/105. And so on.

Will we get an announcement along these lines?

I hope some lenses will start to show up, soon.. 50mm 1.8 IS is top of my list. Hoping an updated 85mm 1.8? I think it's ready for an update imo. 12-24mm 2.8, 100-400mm ii, 16-50(55)mm f4, and an updated 20mm? that lens is not good at all. I really hope that this "year of the lens" notion isn't referring to a whole lot of EF-S lenses.. There's the 24-70 f2... but that's sigma.. ;D

Announcement wise.. 7DII or whatever it's going to be called. Announcement now and come out before July. That's all.

There are various reports of Canon making announcements on January 7, 2014 and new one talking about a press conference in Hong Kong on January 9, 2014.</p>
<p>CES 2014 begins on January 7, 2014 and we expect new PowerShot cameras, such as the replacement to the SX50 IS. The speculation about January 9, 2014 is a bit odd, as the invites are only for Hong Kong. The last 2 Asia based announcements turned out to be a white SL1 and the EOS M2, so I’m not expecting too much at this time. Canon not announcing something for CES itself, but announcing it on the second last day of CES on the other side of the planet, now that would be a first.</p>
<p>Until we see press invites for other countries outside of Hong Kong, I wouldn’t get too excited about the January 9, 2014 speculation.</p>

I wanted to hear about a 7D mark 2.... I got to hear about a p/s camera with a rear facing camera so I can insert pictures of me squinting to see the back of the p/s into the corner of the photos... Oh happy day!!! All this excitement is too hard to take!

I am expecting lots of new exciting Canon products to be announced.

along with "available in Asia only"... ::)
CES = Consumer entertainment Show.

Expect Consumer products and you won't be disappointed. There will be no Canon professional lenses or bodies announced.
Certainly not a 50F1.4 by Sigma....

Unless you're Nikon and Sigma :)
