There's a greater likelihood you are struck by lightning while simultaneously being hit by a Perseid meteor than Canon announcing that.

Im not so sure they are going to annouce a high end camera or a lower end they released the 750D and 760D plus the 5DS and 5DSr but nothing in 2015 in the enthusiast section the 7D MKII was twelve months ago so its time for the 6D MKII. The 6D was November 2012 and the 70D July 2013 but everyone is saying the 1D X or the 5D MKIII replacement.
If Sony are making inroads the A7 II and the A7S are in the price band that the Canon 6D sits in with the A7R MKII at the 5D MKIII price point. Likewise the Nikon D610 and the D750 are in the 6D sweet spot whereas the D810 is at the 5D MKIII price point.
I think they will save the 1D X replacement which could combine the 1D C to just before NAB in 2016. But hey who knows its definately got us all speculating.

I was thinking it might have been 'just' a lens

If anything was going to be announced tomorrow, we would have seen it on CR or Photo Rumors by now. Move along, nothing to see here.

Product announcements normally done on a Tuesday.

- gives the company a business day to prep for last minute loose ends.

Hehe. A fully competitive - or even "class-leading" - EOS M4 would be great. EF-M lenses are already great. Good, compact, inexpensive. No need at all for Leica-esque, manual focus glass. However, a very compact, decent and inexpensive 85/2.0 "portrait pancake" would be nice. If it helps compact size, I wouldnt mind if future EF-M glass was "pure AF operation" - without focus ring ... never use it anyways - not even on EF/L/DSLR lenses ...

"Stay tuned for further developments"

 

[Random Orbits]

So much for a rumor that started from NL...

 

[RGF]

Still no news - 12:13 UTC (aka Zulu, GMT)

 

[whatta]

kindof nothing.. quite interested in the SL2..

Still early enough that an announcement could be forthcoming from Canon Inc in NY. If not we will not see anything today.

Indeed, they should show some new stuff in NY. Anyway Friday was kind of strange day for announcement.
Maybe they announce begining of September.

Oh well, it's a bust. I had promised to buy the wife one if it was announced. So now what to I do, go buy an SL1 used and flip it in 3-6 months when this actually gets announced?

What is the date of the next major event that the Canon 1DX MkII or 5D MkIV could potentially be announced at?

thanks

I doubt they will do it at a major event... Photokina is of course every 2 years so 2016 for the next one.

The 15th World Championships in Athletics are scheduled to be held 22–30 August 2015 in Beijing, China, so I would expect the IDx II to be there for further real-world testing ie close to release. If they haven't changed the body much, then all they need to do is remove the MK II monika and many people would not notice subtle changes to the 1Dx.

Assuming there has not been significant changes to their fab capability, the hardware for both models is already locked down a while back (although there may be still be two variants). They're (Canon) into final stages of testing, adjusting the firmware etc

It will be interesting to see how close the 1Dx II and the Nikon D5 will be. Both companies seem to get good knowledge of what the others' model will be.

I still wish Canon would release revamped version of the 5D Classic, with maybe 14-16MP and clean shadow noise between ISO 12 and ISO 6400. As they seem to be producing more "focused" products, then a small, light, FF would be an outside possibility.

Came here to say that - was hoping for an SL2 with 19-pt AF, the new 24mp sensor, and maybe a few other updates. Had hoped for the 70-300 IS STM, but already got the L.

Bah.

 

[bdeutsch]

Well that was disappointing.
