Announcements on March 22, 2013? [CR1]

[Rienzphotoz]

That's a hard one to say.... Remember the powershot N, anounced January 7, still not in stores.....

I have seen everything from on sale the day it was anounced to lenses that were anounced 2 years ago and we still have not seen.

My guess would be about a month or two delay between announcement and release.

A month or two if we're lucky, I know about the Tsunami, production issues, etc. But Nikon has new equipment shipping almost immediately after they announce it. Canon, a much larger company with far greater resources can't seem to release anything on time. I just don't get it.

True ... but historically it has been the other way around i.e. Canon products were available at stores much faster than Nikon, but lately it seems to be the other way around ... if I am not wrong this seems to have started ever since they first announced the EF 200-400 lens.

I'm waiting for the 70D release because Canon MUST have an all new sensor by now. I can't imagine them going with the same 18MP sensor they've been using since 09, but I've been wrong before....

Finally, something official to deal with! One would hope it would be the 7D Mark II, though.

<strong>UPDATE</strong>


Invites appear to have gone out for March 21, 2013 in the Czech Republic, the invite can be seen below.</p>
<p>A Thursday announcement day is a bit different. Most announcement days I can remember are either on a Tuesday or a Friday. I’ll probably see more invites in the coming days that will clarify the date.</p>
<div id=\"attachment_13050\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 380px\"><a href=\"http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/canonczechinvite.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-13050 \" alt=\"Product announcement invite in the Czech Republic.\" src=\"http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/canonczechinvite-529x575.jpg\" width=\"370\" height=\"403\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Product announcement invite in the Czech Republic.</p></div>
<p>and another invitation for March 22, 2013.</p>

<p><strong>Canon EOS 70D Coming?</strong>


A few places are mentioning March 22, 2013 as an announcement date for Canon. We’re expecting the new Canon EOS 70D to be announced, and it will be a big step up from the EOS 60D in terms of technology.</p>
<p>Also expect some lower end PowerShots to be announced on the same day as the EOS 70D. There is no word on a lens announcement.</p>
<p><strong>Source: [<a href=\"http://photorumors.com/2013/03/06/canon-announcement-on-march-22-eos-70d/\" target=\"_blank\">PR</a>]</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">c</span>r</strong></p>

The two dates make a lot sense. The time difference between prague and japan is 8 hours. if the announcement is made in prague at 10 pm at 3/21 in japan it is 6 am at 3/22

70D
video:
Real 1080p
60p at 1080p
almost non-exist moire and aliasing
swivel screen

stills:
AFMA
6fps
more and more sensitive AF points

misc:
better weather sealing
new sensor with one stop better noise performance at all ISOs

If they can put this out with a price under $1500 for the 70D, it will make a big splash. I would buy it in an instant.
