Canon Announcements Coming August 14, 2015

And I was so sure something would come up. We are believers by nature.
So... Canon Expo at NY 10-11th and IBC at Amsterdam 10th to 15th next month.
There's strong rumours that Zeiss will introduce new OTUS and Leica whole new system.
353 days to Rio and the new 1D X II and/or 5D mark IV will take 6 months from announcement to be available.
Why has it been so quiet...

IBC is a broadcast event so I would be surprised to see Leica debut a new system unless it was all about video. Likewise a new Otus lens from Zeiss who already make different cinematography lenses from the CP.2 series upwards.AWR said:

I'm baffled. Why is the Canon brand so far behind in Sensor Tech? The latitude still remains at just over 11 stops, and has been so for 6 years. I'm curious, anyone know when a real change is in the works? I'm headed to a pro shop this weekend to test a Nikon system which is closer to 15 stops of latitude. Even motion picture cameras are in the 16 stop range now. Used to be, still cameras had better specs in this regard. I've been a pro canon user since swapping out all my Nikon gear to Canon with the first digital wave of cameras some 12 years ago. Any thoughts?

I doubt that many people would be able to look at two identical printed photographs (1 Canon and 1 Nikon) and say, yeah that one’s horrendous cause it’s obviously 5 stops lower in DR.here2infinity said:
Which leads nicely into my next point, if you have 12 years’ worth of Canon gear, can you really be bothered (and even more importantly afford the financial loss) when selling it all on as used to replace with the equivalent Nikon gear? And is almost 5 stops of DR such a dramatic issue for your current way of working?? Surely the impending 1DxII and 5DIV would be a cheaper option than selling and replacing all your gear, even if all they do is make up 3 or 4 stops, that’s still a better situation to be in. That's just my opinion of course!!

Same here. It'd be a great backup camera for me. I wont buy the EOS 100D / SL1 right now, but instead wait for the next version, as it can't be far off its announcement (... well I guess so).
My money is waiting, no matter how long it may take to show off the SL2

Well, the difference is more like 2 stops - and that is only with low ISO. At higher ISOs the differences are negligible. If my experience, if you compare images from the Canon sensor and the Exmor, you will see no difference for the vast majority of shots. Under special circumstances (astro-photography and taking shots of interiors with sunlight in the window) your Exmor will do a better job.
If you consider DR to be the way to measure Sensor technology, then you will consider Canon to be behind (but then not even way behind). If you consider overall image quality, then Canon is as good as the rest (and they are all good and capable of taking excellent photos).

Be careful, the train is leaving the station.
"CP.2"
No new Otuses as far as I can tell -- but Zeiss did announce a major refresh of their non-Otus Canon/Nikon mount primes:

Prices are in the non-Otus Zeiss realm, i.e. $1-2k.
