Canon Press Event on August 21, 2013

[infared]

.
Thanks, Mr. Bob. Glad to see I'm not the only one who knows the difference between the city and Lon Gisland.

Canon's new headquarters is not in New York City. It is in Melville Long Island.

Re: Canon press event scheduled for August 21st

First thing I see is the cartoonish cloud on the invite. For some reason I seriously doubt this'll be EOS or high-end equipment related. Basing that on nothing more than a hunch. Am I reading too much into it? Apple's press invites usually have a tiny or subtle hint at what the announcement could be about. Has Canon ever used a "cloud" before? Could they be starting up a cloud based image storage service?
I'm rambling now....what say others....?

So basically you are saying Powershot N mark II on cloud based subscription????

 

[dgatwood]

Maybe they'll finally release a 28-135 that doesn't feel cheap even when compared with the cheap kit lens that came with my original 300D.

It's a colon. Medical camera you swallow.

Possibly...or it could be a Fart Cloud?

 

[blacksap]

It's a colon. Medical camera you swallow.

the eos-m(micro rectal scan) with dual pixel AF, and of course wifi.

 

[LetTheRightLensIn]

I see 'Cloud' and I think monthly charges.

All future lenses and bodies will only be sold on a month to month rental basis! We at Canon are PROUD to make the change to this model that has been so demanded and begged for by the vast majority* of our customers.
;D



*"vast majority hearby legally meaning in this notice approximately 1 or 2 customers"

.... at Canon’s new headquarters in New York.

Canon's new headquarters is not in New York City. It is in Melville Long Island.

You're both wrong.

Company Name: Canon Inc.
Founded: August 10, 1937
Headquarters: 30-2, Shimomaruko 3-chome, Ohta-ku, Tokyo 146-8501, Japan

And it's not 'new'. Blooming Americans.

Blooming Americans.

So we're all flowers, now?

Header at the top of this discussion from the "Canadian" Canon Rumors Guy, that we are all responding to:
"From Canon USA
A press event has been scheduled for Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at Canon’s new headquarters in New York."

I believe we are all talking about the blooming USA Headquarters, as stated at the top of the discussion???

the announcement here in France is about a new ultra compact Canon Legria mini with Wifi...

see the Canon France 's Facebook page...

 

[pedro]

So, what if there is an EOS 1 announcement the way they did with the 1Dx? And followed by an early 2014 release (March)? An EOS 1 linked to a new cloud storage service...

 

[vlim]

here's the link to the video :

Canon LEGRIA mini - Mettez-vous en scène

this looks funny...


but it might be something else for august 21

More like you're wrong.

Article is talking about Canon U.S.A., not Canon Inc. in Japan. Canon U.S.A.'s last headquarter was in Lake Success, NY and recently moved to Melville early this year. Canon also has headquarters in Europe and Asia and their focus is specifically in those countries.

OMG... Canon... Really?

 

[Deleted member 20471]

Tomorrow it is August 21, it will be exciting to see if and what will be released...

 

[dolina]

These are my guess.

1D replacement
7D replacement
135/2 replacement
35/1.4 replacement
185/3.5 macro replacement
400/5.6 replacement
100-400 IS replacement

My hope is that Canon will speed up the 135 and add IS to it.

I would like to hear from an replacement of these bodies or lenses too.
If Canon will announce one of these things tomorrow, maybe we can buy it in the end oft 2014
(My preordered 70D will be shipped at the end of October! - After 3-4 month of announcement )
