Canon Hong Kong Announcement April 24, 2014

[Dylan777]

I have no "artistic eye", the picture looks like a tea cup. Sounds like Canon will be serving dim-sum with hot tea in HK

 

[Don Haines]

It is the 1DX(2), the 5D(4), the 6D(2), 7D(2), EOS-M(3), and the high megapixel FF camera..... it will be everyone's cup of tea

 

[Canon Rumors]

or you could say it will not be earth shattering because canonrumors had no clue about an "annoucement" prior to the teaser... but then.... that´s always the case isn´t it? 8)

+1

 

[climber]

what about a new printer?

haven't had an announcement for them in a while...

Or a new calculator.

 

[wildpix]

It's a possibility, but I'm not 100% convinced it's not a leather cap.

[dstppy]

A white flash ;D

YES! ....to go with the white camera just announced. YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!

*rofl* maybe Canon will hire me for product development

 

[nweir013]

It's probably going to be a new lens and body cap knowing canon and how they love to hype things like this

 

[KeithBreazeal]

Objects do not create light and shadows. Sooo, I'm leaning toward improved imaging chips or off chip processing that increase the latitude from pure black to pure white. DXO type chip mapping with noise reduction would be welcome. Wishful thinking.
Or maybe it's a new printer- LOL

 

[wjm]

Probably their own 50 1.4 as they are about to lose out on a ton of money if they don't announce something before the Sigma is released.

The Sigma is indeed a amazing lens but there is a big price difference (about 950 versus about 399). Futhermore you also want to get the USB dock tot callibrate the Sigma. I expect Canon will suffer a drop in 50 1.2L sales ...

 

[ClickIt_AC]

How about a new 36MP DP AF sensor to go with the 7D2?

 

[sanj]

I am CONVINCED it is 7D2 with a 1d style body with 2 stops ISO improvement, 12 fps and 1dx focus. Larger LCD as well.

You may well know something that I don't, but I'm convinced it won't be. Canon have left a gap in the aps line above the xxD in terms of ergonomics, and price that can still come in slightly below the entry FF level.

Of course it will not be…

Clearly, sanj forgot something in his post. This:

I know this, because I'm almost always guilty of the same transgression...

;D Oh yes, I see it now, sanj's delivery is just so deadpan !

 

[Springf]

Disappointed:
G1x Mark II

 

[Keystone]

Hope Canon does not resort to this type of anticlimactic promotion frequently. Otherwise it will be
"Disappointing You Always!"

 

[Lightmaster]

yes that was... again... kind of a letdown.

So what was it then?

I can't see any announcements on http://www.canon.com.hk/en/corporate/press_release/index.do or on their facebook page.

It wasn't the G1X II, as Canon HK announced that back in March along with everyone else http://www.canon.com.hk/en/corporate/press_release/pressReleaseDetails.do?prmid=10896
