<p><strong>From the Netherlands

</strong>The Dutch web site <a href="http://www.eoszine.nl/" target="_blank">EOSzine.nl</a> posted on <a href="https://twitter.com/EOSzineNL/status/332787689071984640" target="_blank">Twitter</a> that they’ve been invited to a Canon press event on Friday, May 31, 2013.</p>
<p>I have yet to see any media invites from around the globe as of yet. This could be an event for only the Netherlands.</p>

Then if they won't announce any new body on this date, they will push it to mid-late June. If they still won't release any at that point, they will push it again to another time. Rinse and repeat

I can't believe it will be June and we will still not have a new 70D. I'm beginning to believe the report that the 7D mark II will be a 2014 model. Canon better be doing some awesome stuff in R&D to be delaying these cameras. I guess if they put out a new great performing sensor, we will all be happy. In the meantime, there have been so few Canon products that I have actually purchased since the 5D3 and the good products they did put out were priced extremely high.

For my purposes, my XTi is good enough optically to satisfy me, so I've been holding off upgrading my camera waiting for something with built-in GPS.

I can't believe Canon released a full-frame camera with integrated GPS almost a year ago, and they still haven't brought that feature into their crop-body line. I would have expected the crop bodies to get that feature first, since they are more consumer-oriented products. Canon's consumer point-and-shoot cameras have had GPS since early 2011. It's time. Actually, it was time several years ago. Now it's just painful.
